Now that we know we CAN, We Must.........

After watching the President's address to Congress, I realized that our perspective needs to shift towards a re-learning of many things we have "always known".

1) Energy

We need to re-learn the How's and Why's of our consumtion, creation, and waste, if we are to leave a world that is livable for future generations.

2) Health Care

We need to re-learn how every individual's health and well-being affects us all on both an individual, as well as global level. From birth to death.

3) Education

We need to re-learn the importance of creating opportunities to compete on a global level in all areas of knowledge. And hold those responsible for educating in a much higher regard. We must encourage future generations of Americans to step up to the challeges that make them, and in return the rest of us, the best that we can be.

There are many other areas that need the same application of thought if we are to become, once again the country that we all know we are.

We must acknowledge, and address our short-comings in our caring for those that have served in our Military and come back to a home that doesn't give as much as it has recieved from their sacrifices.

We all know by now how "bad" it is. We all know by know how "great" we can be.

Now that we know we can, we must.
