Well said Mike!!
As a well educated man, who grew up in the Rockies, I say bravo to your thesis, "War on Work!" Likewise on how well your show "discovers" how sheltered our society has become from what has to happen to support the "more civilized." I'm sure you and your crew have become more grounded, the mind a bit quieter and your nasal passages less offended (couldn't resist).
Every generation there is a greater void of people with real work skills. I hope, and I mean really hope you do do this campaign to encourage our youth to get out in the real world. I know that I wish your show was around when I was in my teens. I graduated high school (1988) only knowing one thing about my future career potential, "I don't want to be a high school teacher."
I only ask three things of you. One be conscious of why the great generation read Dr. Spock's Book and sent there kids off to college -- to have a better life. I'm sure you know the term "back breaking work." So maybe safety 2nd!!! I know this all too personally.
Two, please don't loose the higher education speak in your show. Your speech was a great example how how much I have to learn from you and I miss it in your more recent shows. Add that Ivory tower quip once in awhile, please
And lastly, please stay the course. There is no doubt in my mind you have found your audience and having said that never, and I mean never ever get a job at QVC again
Yours in mud,
Rob
