Courtesy of CNN.com's Ticker blog, we have two stories about young people working to effect change in our world, albeit in very different ways. Let's guess which one will actually go on to make people's lives better in the long run:
First up is Barbara Bush, daughter of former President George W. Bush, who recently created a non-profit, Global Health Corps, to recruit people under age 30 to work for a year in a health organization, focusing on young professionals in fields other than health care. (In other words - Me, if I weren't turning 30 next week. Darn.) "You really can work in the health field even if you're not a doctor or a nurse," Bush told CNN. ""We wanted to build the next generation of leaders in health."
Next is the not-so-charming tale of that brat James O'Keefe, famous for creatively editing ACORN out of existence and getting himself arrested for tampering with a U.S. Senator's phones, who this morning told ABC "I don't regret what I did... Senators are corrupt, politicians are corrupt. These people have to be investigated."
I think O'Keefe is still young enough to qualify for Bush's Global Health Corps program. Maybe he should look into it.
