Tell me about it. It's a bad habit I've been trying to break but going around is harder than it seems.

Some indignant people to start the morning off on a good foot as opposed to a bad one.

As a white middle class man this music really inspires and speaks to me. Time to grow a full beard, wear black over sized glasses, wear clothing 3 sizes too small for me, buy something from every apple product line, buy some philosophy books and start hating anything with over 10,000 views on youtube.

It is the fire that lights itself
But it burns with a restless flame
The arrow on a moving target
The archer must be sure of his aim

It is the engine that drives itself
But it chooses the uphill climb
A bearing on magnetic north
Growing farther away all the time

Can't stop moving
Can't stop moving
Can't stop...

You may be right
It's all a waste of time
I guess that's just a chance I'm prepared to take
A danger I'm prepared to face
Cut to the chase

It is the rocket that ignites itself
And launches its way to the stars
A driver on a busy freeway
Racing the oblivious cars

It's the motor of the western world
Spinning off to every extreme
Pure as a lover's desire
Evil as a murderer's dream

Young enough not to care too much
About the way things used to be
I'm young enough to remember the future
The past has no claim on me

I'm old enough not to care too much
About what you think of me
But I'm young enough to remember the future
And the way things ought to be

Cut
Cut...

Cut to the chase
You may be right
It's all a waste of time
I guess that's just a chance I'm prepared to take
A danger I'm prepared to face
Cut to the chase
What kind of difference can one person make?
Cut to the chase

I am revisiting the first episode of this documentary series tonight. I watched it a little over a year ago and was a bit put off by the propaganda aspect of it. I think despite that qualm it gives interesting insight into the cultural differences and the challenges that the education system in North America will face going forward as its pupils enter a competitive global workforce. If anything I think the best asset we have is our imaginations and creativity going forward as rote schooling plays such a prominent role in their cultures. I wasn't sure about where to put it but this seems like as good a place as any.
