what is up

*not* a continuation of a previous blog, but a rebirth of some sort, i guess. unlike my other very public friendster blog, i'm hoping that this will be one that is read by few on their own volition rather than read by many on friendster's incessant prompting. that being said, on this page you will come across thoughtful posts, straight-up feelings, manifestos on education reform, thoughts on social change, and generally - the craziness that *is* my world.....enjoy : )

to be disconnected is to be in danger...

posits a report summary entitled '170,000 Young People Out of School, Out of Work - - Out of Luck?'

disconnected from what, though, is my question. and from whose perspective. because youth that are so-called disconnected are sure as hell connected to each other, and they've got their own little network going that doesn't have room for 'the system.'

speaking of which, i'm not sure that the system gives them enough reason to buy in to it...especially, if it's designed to fail them. and the designs to fix to failures of the system also fail them.

so, i guess common's question still stands, 'how come the industry build careers that don't last?'

i guess i have a few lingering questions of my own, but i'll spare you and leave you with just one - how come the people who create industries don't care about how they pre-determine the way people live their lives?
