It's the Economy - Stupid!

It has been awhile since my last comments, but because of the tremendous demand, I am back with words of wisdom and wonder. (I wonder about the wisdom of them) I have recently been attending Pitzer College. I have just finished a class called Anthropological History: 1492 to the present. I wonder how many of us understand the evolution of capitalism? It is clear, if one studies American history, that now more than ever, we need a strong leader in government and a change in the direction this country and the world is going if we ever hope to return the greatness we once knew. I don't think it matters much if you belong to one party or another, conservative or liberal, what ever that means in today's society. As long as we return to the Progressive ideals we embraced in the 1920s. We are a rich country that can't pay our bills. We love to produce innovations and great inventions and our people are loosing their jobs. We rejoice in being players on the larger world chessboard and we reject the opinions of our one time allies. We fear and defend immigrants on our Southern boarder while the greater illegal immigration comes in from the North and West. We cry about air pollution and global warming and still refuse to sign the Kyoto accord or enforce laws that would put regulation on industry. Like many of you, I watch my hard earned savings go up in smoke because of GREED and the TOLERANCE OF GREED. A retirement filled with well earned rest and activity is not so slowly being erased while those who caused this economic turn down take bailout money and go on vacations or give themselves bonuses. We all need to do our part! Just don't sit there in front of your computer, write someone. Send a note to that deadbeat Congressman of yours. Find out what your union, or church or The League of Women Voters, or your political party is doing about it and GET INVOLVED! Send me a reaction to this rant. If you have any ideas let us know
