REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation Use Public Transit

The US spends roughly 20% of its federal budget on defense. In contrast, 2% goes to education, 20% goes to social security and just 3% goes to transportation infrastructure. Do these numbers surprise you at all? Why or why not? How would you adjust them if you could?

yes i do believe that it rings true for me. Without beauty and mysteries of natural, where would our questioning come from ? The implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors is that they won't be able to experience what it is like to explore and get connected with nature and the world.
