Publicly assisted media engages direct thinking which then direct action makes great. What we need now is vision into action during this period of dynamic change. Publicly assisted media helps users know more and put direct thinking into the solution arena. If we can gain cooperation at every society level and help our new workers launch new lives, our willingness to solve something that is great will make America great.

Less on the elderly and entitlements, more on young families. Why is this so clear to everyone, even a self-professed old-fashioned conservative like Mr. Brooks, and so impossible to address in Congress? I would venture that at least PART of the answer lies in the failure of most of media, particularly those bastions of the public marketplace that that same Congress claims make PBS and NPR unnecessary.
