man, I'm with dead prez 100% because I don't feel like they schools really are teaching us what we need to survive, not just as a people - as a planet too.
mikeone's 'dezionize africa' post makes me think of how much wisdom's been lost from native cultures all over the planet. hell, egyptians were human - but the pyramids are a mystery that we've got to relearn.
parents AND society should teach kids the mathematics of giving back/sustaining, instead of only getting/taking immediate rewards. ______________________________________
