Execupundit has a link to the trailer for the movie "Waiting for Superman".

While I haven't seen the movie my thoughts immediately go to the idea of "waiting" to be saved.  I think of the importance of instilling a love of reading and a love of the process of inquiry.  I think of my great grandfather, D.C. Richard, and his life-learning plan.  I think of our library system and big screen televisions.  I think of the new season of Desperate Housewives or Jersey Shore.  I think of the mailbox effect from my old professor Ray Tucker.  I think of Hugh MacLeod's saying: "Power is never given. Power is taken. "

I fear many will be waiting for a very long time.
