I Wrote The Show West Wing For The Two Years Before And The Two Years After 9/11. Suddenly Everyone In The World Had Been Through Something That Our Characters Had Not Been Through; The Whole Trajectory Of The World Had Changed. Yet Our Show Took Place In A Parallel Universe. I Wasn't Really Sure What To Do About This. In No One's Wildest Dreams Did It Occur That An Event Like This Could Possibly Happen.

Education Is The Silver Bullet. Education Is Everything. We Don't Need Little Changes, We Need Gigantic, Monumental Changes. Schools Should Be Palaces. The Competition For The Best Teachers Should Be Fierce. They Should Be Making Six-figure Salaries. Schools Should Be Incredibly Expensive For Government And Absolutely Free Of Charge To Its Citizens, Just Like National Defense. That's My Position. I Just Haven't Figured Out How To Do It Yet.
