I'm still living in that family. Although the perception comes mostly from me.

MOO, I think too many people equate "education" with a formal degree. I've know way too many people that couldn't finish a TV Guide Crossword puzzle that had their Bachelors and Masters.

I am a firm believer that education comes from a wide variety of sources and your "education" is not always evident by a piece of paper hanging on a wall. My wife is a college graduate and a teacher (21 years in public schools)...many of her contemporaries can not hold a conversation about anything that's not going on directly inside their own school, can't form a sentence without the "grammer check" button, and have no idea how to conjugate the verb "be." Yet, they're "educators"...which reminds me of some paperwork that came home last year in which "they're" and "their" was misused.

As for me...I'm a college drop out. But my "education" allows me to do almost all my own carpentry, drywall, electrical, plumbing, and flooring work in the house.

I liked it.
It's a redemption story. Like The Road to Perdition except completely different.

You would have liked if if it was Clint. . . . or there was a cool car.

As a "redemption" story I agree it's a good movie. I don't know about the Clint part...unless you're talking about The Outlaw Josie Wales...or perhaps Unforgiven...or Any Which Way But Loose. But as for the "cool car"...guilty as charged.
