[Spoken]
Thanksgiving. Remember junior high school, high school, elementary school, "Everybody bring in your cans for the hungry people?" Remember that?
Just imagine if somebody when you were in fifth or sixth grade, if the principal had the gonads to say on Monday, "Children, it was the most single wonderful outpouring of generosity that this school has ever seen. More cans of food, feeding a hundred ninety three families, came to this school than ever before. We only have one problem, and we're going to deal with it this coming week. We’re going to cancel our regular classes and what we're going to talk about is, what are those people going to eat next week?"
Now doesn't that sound like a sensible educational system that dealt with those types of questions?
