Mike Rowe at TED

I love Mike's message. From the plumber, to the guy that exterminates your termites... these aren't some "dumbass halfwits" , these are people who do the jobs that make our "modern" lives a reality. Without them we wouldn't have the quality of life that we enjoy. I've heard Mike preach this on other podcasts and broadcasts, so this isn't a one off shill for "Dirty Jobs"... nice to see him do it on TED. Love the show... and I think a lot of the man.
