I want to follow up to last week's post, but first, I wanted to post the link to an interview on The Daily Show with
Cory Booker, the mayor of Newark, New Jersey from December 12th. It's the third part of a three part interview.

| Cory Booker |
What he's talking about is not completely unknown, but needs to be better known. I've personally felt that government in partnership with business and schools could be leading our society, and in turn improving our economy. And it's not about hand-outs. What he is talking about is how we are not educating our young people to move into the 21st century job market. There are jobs that exist right now that are going unfilled, because of a lack of people with the training and skills to fill them. I've seen a few things on the news in relation to this as far back as two years ago, and it's still a problem today.
This interview reminds me of the interview that I posted about earlier this fall with Bill Clinton on The Daily Show. It's not just a cliche, we really do need to think outside the box and have a revolution of thought if we are going to fulfill our potential as a society and as human beings.
