Wise men know that they don't know everything. That is the genius of the US Constitution... it can change. Our society changes. Sometimes, clear and concise argument can make flip-floppers of any of us. "The house I live in" was just such a film to me. In one segment of a solving the problem sequence, Gabor Maté MD, came out of the dark like an archangel from a stormy sky and slew my concepts of education and happiness.
How he changed me, was as profound as Mark Twain's War Prayer where he brings forth the idea of a spoken prayer and a silent prayer. God hears both and from his grave Twain's writings elevate my humanity. I considered the education system as the last hope for a dysfunctional nuclear family bereft with poverty, low wage and poor nutrition. I now agree with Maté (BTW é is: alt0233) that without out a good family life, without the stressors that make you watch the horizon for wolves, you can't learn. And while the education system says it can control the home life, all it's slogans, money and pedagogy... it is doomed to failure. The Prison Industrial complex is made clear as Richard Mitchell makes clear the Graves of Acadamie. The drug war funds lots of retirements and has to be stopped because the metrics say so and we say so. It's a good path if you want a lot of your injured soldiers to find work when they come back, brainwashed in the pseudosuccess of authoritarianism never reading 2 time medal of honor winner Smedley Butler. These systems of control are very fragile and close to falling... support this film, learn from this film and push back. You'll be amazed at the happiness right around the corner, IMHO. Thank you so much, to all who took part in making this film. Lawson di Ransom Canyon 2013
