It is especially not trivial now, because millions of Americans are dying to be enlisted - enlisted to fix education, enlisted to research renewable energy, enlisted to repair our infrastructure, enlisted to help others. Look at the kids lining up to join Teach for America. They want our country to matter again. They want it to be about building wealth and dignity - big profits and big purposes. When we just do one, we are less than the sum of our parts. When we do both, said Shriver, "no one can touch us." Who Will Tell the People? - New York Times Love him or hate him, Tom Friedman is back from sabbatical and he's shouting from the mountaintops - this time, he's ranting about the need to mobilize a Can Do spirit in the US. I'd suggest you print up this article and slide a copy under your mayor's or favorite council member's office door. Odds are, if the people support a local infrastructure project that makes good sense, so will the political leadership. America works well when people organize and let their leaders know about it. America works somewhere between "less well" and "not so much" when people sit back and let our leaders do what is politically expedient. We need to get informed, set priorities, and prod our leadership to move out ahead of the parade! I'm with Tom - it's TIME TO GET TO WORK, AMERICA!!
