A few weeks back, Seth Godin released a manifesto on education in America called Stop Stealing Dreams (Here’s a link to an audio recording of the book, read by yours truly.)
This manifesto was cool because you could see how quickly and effectively an idea catches on around the Internet.
Plus, it was on a topic that is really important to the future of our country.
While that was going on, I have been reading The Daily on my iPad. They have had an ongoing series on what British chef Jaime Oliver calls “pink slime.” The Daily has been doing a great job of advancing the notion that our ground beef shouldn’t be ground beef with a side of some mystery stuff mixed.
I think along with the education debate, we have to have a debate about what we are putting into our bodies. Food is important, obviously, but so is the air we breathe, what we drink, and so on.
This is especially true if you look at education and children. But it goes along to all of us.
