Did you folks happen to see the show American Idol gives back the other night where they are raising money to help children who are trapped in extreme poverty around the world they went to africa, south america,other over seas country then to New Orleans for the Hurricane victems and then to EASTERN KENTUCKY where they show cased the plight of the people living there with a 50% unemployment rate, schools that had an annual budget of $500 to buy books for 150 students. There were only 5 students not enrolled in the free lunch program. They interviewed a young boy of 9 or 10 years old and in a voice that was much to mature for a child he told the camera "if you cann't(kaint) get a good schoolin and a better education you just aint going to do no better for your self or your family. You need a diploma to get a good job, and ya got to move away from here though. What the hell have we let happen here. I a so ashamed of my own ignorance. I thought with all of the fees and taxes that we pay in this State that at least the students would have books. This is an election year I think we should get the manure fork out and clean the shed out if you know what I mean. How can these govenor canidates from both sides just let this issue slip away unnoticed. Dr. Fletcher where have you been the last four years, had you took time off from writing out pardons you might have noticed that we our leting down our next generation your TV add says you have made Education better for college students and attracted more jobs to KY but where are they. Those sad eyes were hungary for an education. We have to make our elected officials accountable for this and we as private citizens have to take the blame for this also, and we can and should do some thing to help. Give a few bucks to a good charity, have your church get a ministry together and go back east to our friends and fellow citizens. 5 ,10 dollars here and there will make a big difference. Wanted to win a war, wage peace, attack with weapons of mass kindness, and watch it spread like a wildfire. Please help some how.

Thanks for reading this post, thank a teacher and a book for showing you the way to the world by words alone.
