Get Pissed America. These Kids are Our Future

Where's the leadership? Where's the outrage? As a society we are failing our children. We aren't educating them nearly well enough; we aren't raising them to take personal responsibility for themselves, their families, their friends, their neighborhoods or their country; we aren't teaching them to be good citizens, to work hard, to care about others, to respect.

Don't believe me. Watch this video, then you answer the questions it raises. And if like me you get pissed off, demand that your elected officials show leadership on these issues. But more importantly, get involved. (Also see my earlier post today, "Hurt People, Hurt People.")

An official update to the original "Shift Happens" video from Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod, this June 2007 update includes new and updated statistics, thought-provoking questions and a fresh design.
