It’s the triple team, the full-court
press. This week, all three blogs (mine,
Madame’s, and ours) get the same theme, a theme as old as, well, time: You reap
what you sow.
We don’t
finish what we start. We let ourselves
be led astray by diversions. Other
societies don’t. And they are walloping
the bejeezus out of us.
We reap
what we emphasize. If we value a 20 foot
jump shot or a touchdown pass more than we value the ability to use math and
engineering to construct and maintain our infrastructure, we lose. The fact that the average person knows WAY
more about sports or various forms of entertainment in general than that person
knows about science, math, or engineering, says volumes about how out of
balance we are.
Time to
get back in balance. That’s all.
Starting
today, not tomorrow.
