A Crisis Of Confidence

I showed snippets of this speech to my students.  Insane.  Mr. Carter was not a very good president, but he sure was honest and I have to give props for that.  He had the audacity to call out the American people and tell them things they didn't want to hear.  It took guts to do what he did.  It also may have cost him reelection after Reagan came along telling Americans they can have whatever they want.  Carter was an idealist, but didn't have any qualms about admitting.  I love it.

"We are no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns."
Crazy stuff.
