As the manufacturing jobs leave, and as the coal mining jobs leave, then we need to become more like Greece and we need to build libraries and schools, and we need to instill a love of reading in our people. Our people need to develop a love of books and a love of learning. And our people can become teachers, and doctors, and scientists, etc, etc, etc.
And the best thing that we can donate to a poor village in Mexico is a library full of books.
Salute,
Tony V.
