It all begins with Education!!!

I sit at my office and I listen to the ongoing chatter around me. There is one person over there screaming how he is voting for McCain and another over here who says well I am voting for Obama. I listen to this all day long the long drawn out disscussion over who is right and who is wrong who is going to make it better and who is going to make it worse. Well I am here to tell you that I don't but my faith in any man. Why? Because he is just that, MAN and all men make mistakes and no man is any better than the next. What I do believe is that the only way to evoke change is through EDUCATION.

We constantly here politicians talking about fixing this problem or that problem. Sorry to say those are what I call Bandaids. Education is the only true fix here people. We talk about health care and quality of life well if you look at people with educations they have higher quality of life than those that don't have educations, they make a hell of alot more money too.

So what am I proposing? A better educational system, higher salaries for teachers and more school funding. We give all of this money to remedy problems that we could have put a stop to early on by just nuturing the minds of our children but instead we chose to ignore the schools, ignore our children, ignore the very people who spend the most time with your kids, TEACHERS by paying them little of nothing and yet we wonder why is the world such a scary place.

So the next time you see that man arrested for dealing drugs think to yourself if we hadn't been sitting around sticking Bandaids on everything and actually cared about education. That man may have been a successful businessman. People seem to think that all criminals are dumb but the reality is society failed them when they were children. You ever hear the saying "It takes a village to raise a child" well the village is to busy worried about it's self to think about uplifting the youth.

So the next time you find yourself complaining get up go to the nearest youth center and be a solution to the problem.
