The Longest Walk
In 2000, he brought out “Democracy Reaches the Kids!” This garnered the only “Extraordinary” US Visa ever issued in education. He’d found that western education itself was responsible for the loss of first nation languages & culture, worldwide — one every day. His discovery could instead guarantee them all! To preserve these treasures has become the central mission of George’s outgoing years.

Democracy Reaches the Kids!
Youth is a diamond, the cutting of which creates either value or destroys it. Education is the diamond cutter. Suddenly, everything is now possible! General Education 2000 (Democracy Reaching the Kids!) has given back to E.D.U.C.A.T.I.O.N., something called education... the 'leading forth, ' the real stuff! Restored the real meaning of the word, and, more important, its spirit-what is within every still-growing, still-seeking individual. And not in moribund institutions already gone far in the direction of Lord Acton's famous dictum: "absolute power corrupting absolutely." For many the core mission, guiding and developing our youth, has indeed been negated. Our new natural approach will finally triumph over what has gagged, bound, and, yes, destroyed and killed to keep its conforming form. No more. No more

Many Guinness Records were set on the 19,019-mile journey--he also got married and fathered two children during the hike--but the significance of his feat is found in the intrepid spirit of Mr. Meegan himself: One reviewer has called the story 'transcendent;' there is no better word to describe it. By pushing himself toward his dream, overcoming obstacles that boggle the mind, escaping grim death many times, enduring discomforts that are difficult even to read, interacting with i...
