On the Surface
Like Black Orpheus Michael made the sun rise. He was creative, sensitive, intelligent and handsome. Everyone he knew was attracted to him and was influenced by him. He taught his friends about Miles Davis, Alfred Camus and Romare Bearden. He taught them how to be moral, socially conscious people. Paul Kline and Peter Eastman saw Philly through Michael's eyes. He walked them through Philly, around Girard College's wall, through Father's Divine's dining hall, pass City Hall and on to Robin's Bookstore. He took them to the jazz clubs and the Art Museum. He walked them through North Philly, through the ghetto and up to Chestnut Hill. If Michael was all these things, "Why was he blown up in his car like some mobster in a gangland hit?"

Sick Schools
Who’s afraid of for-profit education? Those who work in non-profit or government owned and operated schools. Many parents and other stakeholders have been made fearful by this education establishment. What’s more important to humans: nutrition or education? Nutrition is more important because it is the prerequisite for other human activities, including education. What organizations provide food and who pays for the food? Food is provided by for-profit farmers, for-profit processors, for-profit wholesalers, and for-profit retailers. Most food is purchased with the consumers’ own money, but a significant amount is purchased by low-income individuals using food stamps. Why can’t education be provided similarly using education stamps? We trust for-profit enterprises to provide our food. Why can’t we trust for-profit enterprises to provide K-12 education? Fearmongers have frightened us and made us into gullible compliant socialists who despise commercial activities in education. Go to the supermarket and ponder its marvelous array of foods and then contemplate how a for-profit K-12 education sector would please and amaze its customers.
