regarding the topic du jour....
I think that a basic problem faced by education and our society in general is that we Americans have mastered the art & science of waste and abundance. Over spending and under producing have become the norm and it is not sustainable. No other society I can think of can or does afford the inefficiencies we quietly tolerate and tacitly accept.
Perhaps education is the place to start. Maybe we need a new slogan, a new philosophy and a new flag to fly that people can rally around.
On another blog someone asked for a new word that could replace Sustainable. I suggested Survival. Our future is in our own hands. If any of you are waiting for someone else to do something then you are missing the whole point.

Assume the best and ask questions.
