Being one that grew up during an era of segregation, "the American Dream" I managed to achieve via education and working in an industry that education prepared me quite well for.
In an era of "sound-bite politics"; short-sighted goals more concerned with "team victory" than with governing, this documentary should be a part of the debate on education, energy, science and ultimately jobs in this country.
As we see the price of gasoline rise at the pump: the price of bringing food to suburbia also rises, as fuel prices rise for the grocers to ship food to their shelves - they transfer that cost to us, a de facto tax irrespective of political party.
My fondest childhood memories: my father's "victory garden" he loved to work in our backyard. Literally every vegetable we consumed was grown out back, we then purchased our meats at the grocery store. It saved us much money. Today, it would allow consumers to buy more range-fed poultry and cattle products, healthy as well as a kind of Noble savage protest. In the aftermath of 9-11 and Hurricane Katrina, we're no longer looking for the Cavalry.
We may in the end, all need victory gardens...
