I wish this was around and in my area when I was a kid. Maybe I'd be productive to society?
I heard on the radio about this foundation whose mission is to avert a growing crisis in America, one that is occurring because too few young people now develop the kind of manual skills required by industries, workshops, and engineering practices. Through mentoring programs, education, and media awareness, "Nuts, Bolts and Thingamajigs Foundation will once again introduce young people to the pleasures of tinkering. And in that way, they will create the next generation of artisans, inventors, engineers, repairmen and skilled workers - in short, a self-sufficient, self-sustaining society"
Its a little known fact that John Ratzenberger (Clifford C. "Cliff" Clavin, Jr in Cheers)lends support to this Foundation in addition to hosting and producing, John Ratzenberger's Made in America on the Travel Channel.
