The 65 year old hippie was talking to the 45 year...

The death of a dream - American Education - written in real time.
There is no amount of learning in a classroom that can replace experiences one may endure throughout life. This is an idea that I’ve learned to hold on to with a tight grip, while treading as lightly as possible with each step that I take. Although, I do often carry a big stick with me wherever I go, just in case. I call that...
