OK, but what if we had healthy, strong, whole, warm-hearted children that grew up to be parents to teach their own children...a cycle founded on love and integrity? I would like to hope for a glimmer of light. Do you see a flicker? And, yes, I agree that education needs to be broadened - for the whole child's needs about Living - not just the traditional content - regurgitation.

Yeah, maybe if we had some stocks called "children and the future" and we had the Fortune 500s investing, THEN maybe there would be an incentive....maybe people would invest all their resources, financial, time, talent, creativity and caring to develop human potential.

MULLET - our society needs good teachers, especially sensitive male rold models......reconsider!

Dang, I used to love Bill Maher! Kind of lost interest lately, but I admired his bold truths and fearless provocations, and think that sometimes we need to get our of our comfort zones of this surreal Hollywoodesque pretty little world and face the ugliness to move forward. Many people are so apathetic - a little riled up inner revoution is needed to break through to a higher level.
