Do we want to build more prisons. Or, should we perhaps work to challenge our kids in structured programs with coaches, teamwork, fitness, and personal excellence?

This gets to the roots of the approach I want our society to embrace.

I want our prisons empty because I want our ballfields, theater groups, net cafes and swimming pools filled with dedicated, respectful, hard-working, eager learners who are rooted in communities. In my vision, we have young people, middle-aged people and seniors training themselves with a passion of performance. These citizens are thinking clearly and making great decisions.
