I agree. When I was a student, sitting in the classroom and hearing an address from the President wasn't even possible. I would have loved it. There are phrases that ring in my memory when I think of them. "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." "I have a dream!" I'm thinking now that I'll remember the following with the same sense of inspiration: "Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future." Act on your dream! JD Good morning, Mitch.

“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”

“I have a dream!”

I'm glad to finally see someone with some balance on this topic. You know, when I was a kid, I'd have loved seeing the President of the United States reading something directly to me, no matter what it was. Kids don't know about all the politics; all they know is that it's the President of the United States taking some time out of his schedule to talk to them. Great stuff; thanks! .-= Mitch´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ImJustSharing/~3/kdSlOE6cpAw/" rel="nofollow">No, Reading And Creativity Are Obsolete</a> =-. Thanks John.
