Like him and his show or not, he makes some very good points.

Reminded me of a previous tenant of mine who called me because one of the lights didn't work. My first question was "Did you change the light bulb?"... answer, "Ummm what?". A month later, they turned the AC compressor into a solid block of ice and then called me and complained that it was too hot. When I showed up, I found the thermostat turned down to 50!
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
I bet we could just call him and tell him that we want to have beers with him next time he is in Colorado. He would do it.
Sad that most people dont think about where things come from anymore...

If you haven't seen it, watch his presentation for Ted Talks. It's really good.

Id love to have him go with me on one my service calls to show the world the electric motor industry. A lot of people don't understand how much easier they make everyone's lives and how they effect mass production, electricity, and all around comfort of life.
In my shop there are things that can suck but going out in the field is dirty, exhausting, and dangerous.
I don't think Mike would want to sit there and watch you post whore on the CSC... It wouldn't make good television

Ted talks are incredible. The people are all visionaries. The world would be a better place if we had people like those in office, instead of the corrupt corporate shills we have instead.

One of the young men in the BSA troop I'm associated with got to sit in with Mike Rowe and talk about life (Mike is an Eagle Scout) at the most recent National Jamboree. Mike made a huge and positive impression on this young man. The world is could use a few more like him.
