THE NEUTERING OF AMERICAN SOCIETY

Each day I either hear or see something about decisions being made by narrow minded people that pound home the fact that our country and “core-principles” are really in jeopardy  The latest was a school in Michigan that has banned kids play “tag” or running in “packs”as they called it. Their reasons are that it could be harmful to other children and increase the actions of pushing and shoving! 

First it was dodge-ball, then kick ball and now tag. I guess when kids go out for recess to burn off a little pent-up energy they should just stand in place at safe distances from each other or perhaps just play virtual tag?… you see its games like tag that can be linked to future acts of violence and terrorism with little Johnny or sweet little Susie! Society must make an active stand now to curb these games to prevent future catastrophes.

Now when we were kids, we played these games and even had toy guns to play army so we could emulate our favorite movie or TV Heroes.  We even watched shows like Combat with Vic Morrow or Rat Patrol which praised the exploits of our WWII veterans. We played sports on the street and yes we got a few scrapes and bruises but to my knowledge I don’t think that it produced a more violent society. What it did produce was a generation that understood that not everything was equal and fair. There were winners and losers and we learned the emotional effects of being on either side from one time to another. We learned the “rules of engagement” of how to interact with each other and the competitive nature of society that would provide life’s lessons for the future. All of which were in line with what makes America well you know America!

But now these core values are under attack. Instead of letting kids be kids to learn the ways of the world, we want to alter their behaviors such that we can manufacture the outcomes of social events to ensure that “everything is fair”.  We no longer encourage those with gifts to excel if it means that that they might come out ahead of others, no instead we’ll slow them down or alter the rules so that those of less talent can also “win” so as their fragile little feelings stay intact. The everybody “gets a trophy” mentality is in full swing. 

It’s not what we did or how we got there but that everybody “feels” good. 

Now this might seem harmless on the soccer field or school yard when the participants are 7 years old but what it is really doing is eroding the core foundation of what has made Americans exceptional at a very young age and in the process giving more power to “THE PROCESS” while limiting individual accountability. Because you see little Johnny or Susie eventually become adults and have gone their whole lives thinking that all they have to do is show up and they’ll be rewarded for it. Because all they've had to be is nice and stay within the barriers of the group fearful of taking steps out of line to excel as it may overshadow little Timmy and damage his self esteem. 

So on a broader scale what is this really doing? We’re teaching our kids, the future generations of our country to be just Vanilla. But coming out of the other side of the "proverbial mouth" is a non-stop flow of criticism about how we are not accepting of diversity and need to do more. Well which way is it? Everybody is the same or everybody is different? I guess the ruling class gets to decide on when and where to apply the rules, as they seem to be ever changing to conveniently fit into the drama of the day.  

In a time when children are being thrown out of school because they drew a picture of a gun or some stick figures that could be interpreted as acting violently the absurd has become the surreal!

However there is nothing done or said about the way too real graphic violence is evident in video games. Games that encourage lawlessness and portray a casual approach to killing. Perhaps it’s this exposure rather than playground games that could be targeted as the reason that other “children” shoot up schools and movie theaters with unfazed numbness? If the liberals have their way we’ll all be just a society of equals. We’ll all be issued our “olive-drab” jumpsuits and bamboo flip-flops and obediently stand in line to worship the powers that be. Oh does that sound familiar…China, N. Korea, Cuba…what’s the common denominator? A liberal, socialist, communist agenda that has failed throughout history! 

Yet the progressives in this country seek to move closer and closer to this type of grand utopia. They see it as having the freedoms they seek because now everyone will be given a chance to be on even footing, but the reality is that with every step we take in this direction we are imprisoning ourselves by giving up our freedoms to be individuals to the state.  

Maybe we’ll become the “non-violent” society portrayed in the movie Demolition Man where we can get fined for doing and saying bad things…"violation of the Verbal Morality Statute" Or maybe we'll wake up and get some "testicular fortitude" and fight to keep being how we are...

When I learned of the tragic events of last week in WA; where two 16-yr olds beat and killed an 88-yr old WWII vet it really got to me. This was a little too close to home as my Dad a WWII vet who will be 92 next week could have found himself in a similar situation. I know we live in a “not so kind world” where gun violence & violence in general among our youth is seemingly out of control, but this was over the top.

Oh did I mention that the 2 said thugs were black & the 88-yr old vet was white…did they profile him because he was white or old and defenseless…perhaps in the mind of the avg. 16-yr old black thug those 3 things are synonymous  Where is the outrage from the “race-baiters” and why isn't every media outlet covering this wall to wall and organizing rally's and contacting the DOJ to investigate to see that the vet’s civil rights were not violated? 

Oh wait, you see the victim was white and in our society only minorities are victims and get violated by a corrupt ruling class…Well guess what, soon enough we will be the minority (sans all the benefits of course), unless we start standing up and calling this what it is! Where is that line in the sand when good hard-working people of any color call BS on this to preserve our lives and safety? The wolves are at the door people its time to wake up and stop being so afraid to call out the bad elements for what they are in fear of being labeled “racist”. There I said it…yeah I’m racist against any punk who decides that it’s OK to beat an 88 yr old to death. I can’t wait to hear their defense that “little Jimmy” had a hard childhood, might even have been sexually abused and couldn't control his actions let alone take any responsibility for them…because you see in our world these 2 thugs will become the victim and not the innocent man they killed!

I really hope that justice is carried out for these 2 and they can get to learn first hand what being a victim really is like when they have to share a cell with other thugs a little tougher than them who if their lucky might have “privates” the size of Campbell soup cans to violate their rights every night!!!

The State of Our Country...2012

For the past few years as our year comes to an end, I have found some pleasure to create some satirical poems that recap the preceding year's events and overall condition. This year however, I am finding it a little harder to get my "creative-juices" flowing so I am taking a slightly different approach.

A few days ago I was fortunate enough to learn of a speech written and broadcast by the late Paul Harvey back in April of 1965. As I read through it, it was uncanny and almost verging on that of a prophecy as to how close he was to predicting the state of our world today! The speech was called "If I Were the Devil". 

This speech was broadcast by legendary ABC Radio commentator Paul Harvey on  April 3, 1965:

If I were the Devil . . . I mean, if I were the Prince of Darkness, I would of course, want to engulf the whole earth in darkness. I would have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree, so I should set about however necessary to take over the United States. I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: “Do as you please.” “Do as you please.”   To the young, I would whisper, “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what is bad is good, and what is good is “square”.  In the ears of the young marrieds, I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you. I would caution them not to be extreme in religion, in patriotism, in moral conduct. And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to say after me: “Our Father, which art in Washington” . . .

If I were the devil, I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull an uninteresting. I’d threaten T.V. with dirtier movies and vice versa. And then, if I were the devil, I’d get organized. I’d infiltrate unions and urge more loafing and less work, because idle hands usually work for me. I’d peddle narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. And I’d tranquilize the rest with pills. If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine yound intellects but neglect to discipline emotions . . . let those run wild. I would designate an athiest to front for me before the highest courts in the land and I would get preachers to say “she’s right.” With flattery and promises of power, I could get the courts to rule what I construe as against God and in favor of pornography, and  thus, I would evict God from the courthouse, and then from the school house, and then from the houses of Congress and then, in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and I would deify science because that way men would become smart enough to create super weapons but not wise enough to control them.

If I were Satan, I’d make the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of Christmas, a bottle. If  I were the devil, I would take from those who have and I would give to those who wanted, until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And then, my police state would force everybody back to work. Then, I could separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines, and objectors in slave camps. In other words, if I were Satan, I’d just keep on doing what he’s doing.

Paul Harvey, Good Day.

Tis the Season for Gools, Goblins & Obama-zombies…

Tis the Season for Gools, Goblins & Obama-zombies…

This time of year brings a lot of things, temperature changes, beautiful leaves, and children getting ready for Halloween. It also brings sightings of ghosts, strange happenings and upcoming elections! Of all of these the most frightening and dangerous could be the days leading up to the most important election of our lifetime.

In these days the poltergeists are at their strongest and can easily take possession of the weak-minded (translation Liberals), with just a little spiking of the proverbial Koolaide and turn them into Obama-zombies. These are the multitude of blind-followers who hang on every lie that leaves his lips and even embellish their own beliefs to create in their mind the “great utopia” they seek!

This phenomenon really kicked into gear after Obama’s poor debate showing when in unison the entire base all uttered with aghast “Oh Shit”… Seeing their candidate’s campaign in free-fall they quickly started the litany of excuses and blame because how could their Demi-god falter so grandly? They attacked Romney as a liar because after all the media and the Obama underlings said it was so. They blamed the altitude in Denver forgetting I guess that in 2008 it was the same thin Denver air that launched the Obama machine. They stated that Obama was too nice and didn't want to sound like an “angry black man” so he had no rebuttals. How is this any different from any other speech he gives when he takes “un-presidential” cheap shots and jabs at anyone who challenges him like a street-punk! They said that the math didn't add up on Romney’s plans and it didn't make any sense. 

Perhaps it made perfect sense but like everything else this administration has done they just “skim the surface” which truly shows their inexperience and inability to understand anything outside of their ideology.  

The truth is that Obama just didn't fail at the debate; his whole presidency is a “grand failure” and has had everyone covering for it at every turn. I am a firm believer that perception becomes reality in the minds of many who really don’t bother to take the time to educate themselves. It also holds true with lying…if you repeat and perpetuate a lie long enough then eventually you can increase your chances that people will take it as the truth.

Well while we are on the math…here is a run down of Obama’s numbers since he took office:

THE STRUGGLES OF 2011...

THE STRUGGLES OF 2011 HAVE TAKEN THEIR TOLL

AS THE SNOWBALL OF DEBT CONTINUES TO ROLL

FOR MANY GETTING THRU HAS BEEN A REAL CHORE

SINCE FORCLOSURES & UNEMPLOYMENT CONTINUE TO SOAR…

THE STOCKMARKET IS UP ONE DAY & DOWN THE OTHER

WITH MANY INDUSTRIES BEGINNING TO SPUTTER

LOSSES PILING UP AND UNCERTAINLY & TURMOIL BREWING

MANY WITHIN AMERICA HAVE REALLY STARTED STEWING…

THE WORLD IS GETTING UNHINGED AS VIOLENCE & PROTESTS ABOUND

AND EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK THEY’RE “OCCUPYING” A TOWN

IT STARTED IN THE MIDEAST- NO BIG SURPRISE THERE

BUT NOW IN AMERICA THE “LIBS” TENTS ARE EVERYWHERE…

GIVE US SOMETHING FREE AND PAY FOR OUR SCHOOL

INCOHERENTLY THEY CHANTED IN THEIR MOB-RULE

A POINT THEY DIDN’T MAKE BUT A BIG MESS THEY DID

UNTIL CITIES EVICTED THEM TO STOP THE SKID…

THE RICH SHOULD BE TAXED OR WAS IT EATEN, I CAN’T RECALL WHICH

BUT EITHERWAY WE HATE THEM FOR JUST BEING RICH

A JOB I DON’T WANT, IT WILL ONLY GET IN THE WAY

OF MY SLEEPING & PARTYING & THE VIDEO GAMES I PLAY

BUT GIVE ME YOUR MONEY BECAUSE IT’S ONLY FAIR

THAT I THINK I DESERVE IT WHETHER OR NOT YOU CARE…

AND AROUND THE WORLD THERE WAS NO SHORTAGE OF DISASTERS

WITH JAPAN BEING ROCKED AND THE FLOODING OF ITS REACTORS

AND HERE AT HOME MOTHER NATURE WAS NOT SO NICE

WITH TORNADOS IN JOPLIN AND ALABAMA STRIKING TWICE

A “LOON” SHOT A CONGRESSWOMEN IN ARIZONA ONE DAY

AND AFTER 10 LONG YEARS WE FINALLY MADE OSAMA PAY…

SO THE WORLD KEEPS SPINNING WITH GOOD AND EVIL AT ODDS

BUT REALLY WE WISH THAT WE JUST HAD MORE JOBS

THE ECONOMY IS AWFUL WE NEED HELP NO DOUBT

AND OBAMA KEEPS TALKING BUT ONLY LIES COME OUT

HE SAYS HE’S FOR BUSINESS BUT HIS POLICIES ARE NOT

WITH TAXING THE RICH SEEMINGLY HIS ONLY PLOT…

HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH WE ALL WANT TO ASK

WHILE OVER ½ IN THIS COUNTRY SIT ON THEIR ASS!

FROM ILLEGALS TO MOOCHERS THEY ALL TAKE THEIR SHARE

AS US WORKING FOLKS CONTINUE TO PAY THE FAIR

A FREE RIDE THEY GET ON THE BACKS OF OTHERS

BUT THAT WOULD CHANGE IF I HAD MY DROUTHERS…

   

AND IN CONGRESS EVERYDAY THE FIGHT GOES ON

AND AFTER SENDING LEWD PICTURES “WEINER” WAS GONE

ABOUT TAXES AND SPENDING IS WHAT THEY ARGUE MOST

BECAUSE AT THIS RATE THERE SOON WILL BE NO USA TO TOAST

.40 OF EVERY DOLLAR WE BORROW

AND AT THIS PACE CHINA MAY OWN US TOMORROW…

INTO CAMPAIGN SEASON WE ARE IN FULL SWING

WITH EACH HOPEFUL TO SUCCEED OBAMA RECHANTING THEIR THING

THE ADS, DEBATES & NAME-CALLING HAS STARTED

BUT LET’S NOT LOSE SITE OF THE REAL TARGET…

TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY IS MISSION ONE

TO PRESERVE OUR CONSTITUTION OR WE’LL SOON BE DONE

OUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS ARE ALL UNDER ATTACK

AND WE ALL HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE THEM BACK

UNDER GOD THIS NATION WAS FORMED

WITH LIBERTY, RIGHTS AND JUSTICE FOR ALL…

SO IF FORIEGNERS WANT TO COME HERE I GUESS IT’S OK

BUT DON’T ASK US TO CHANGE OUR SOCIETY & THE WAYS WE PRAY

IF YOU NEED TO KNEEL ON YOUR CARPET 5 TIMES A DAY

JUST DO IT AT HOME SO YOU’RE NOT IN THE WAY

DON’T DO IT AT WORK OR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET

AND DON’T ASK ME TO CHANGE OUR LAWS SO YOU CAN SLEEP WITH SHEEP…

DRESS THE WAY WE DO & TREAT WOMEN WITH MORE RESPECT

LEARN OUR LANUAGE & BE MORE OPEN MINDED TO THOSE OUTSIDE OF YOUR SECT

TURN DOWN THE VIOLENCE AND THE JIHAD OF HATE

FOR THAT ONLY LEADS TO AN UNFAVORABLE FATE…

AMERICA WAS FOUNDED ON PRINCIPLES THAT WERE GREAT

TIME-TESTED AND TRUE YOU CAN NOT DEBATE

BUT NOW SHE IS STRUGGLING TO STAY AFLOAT AND SURVIVE

IN HOPES THAT THIS POOR ECONOMY WILL REVIVE

NO DOUBT WEATHERING THE STORM WILL NOT BE EASY

BUT STARTING WITH A CHANGE AT THE TOP IS WHAT IS NEEDED…

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

Liberalism the self-fulfilling prophecy of doom...

With the occupy Wall Street movements/OWS continuing throughout the US with still no real coherent message or purpose, you can't help to feel a slight bit of pity for these fools. After all, the weather is getting cold and since gas generators are not allowed they have been resigned to taking turns riding on stationary bikes to create power for their iPhones and laptops so that the movement can be out there communicating. It's sort of like gerbils on the wheel expending energy but going nowhere. Well such is the case with the whole OWS movement. Lots of energy being expended, lots of attention from mainstream liberal media plus support from the Michael Moore types of the world but really where has this movement or lack there of really moved? Other than making a mess and living life refugees what have they accomplished? I understand causes and the passion some feel to support them, but what possesses someone who claims to have been “wronged” by the evils of society to give up what ever belongings and comfort they might have to go and live in a makeshift tent city. Now if these folks had been forced to live this way by the "man" they would have screamed to high Heaven. Aren't living conditions like this the very things they are protesting against? The fact that people of an evolved society have stepped back in time to recreate the daily lives of pioneers is certainlly questionable. They claim to want more (free of course), but so willingly they settle for so much less! Do these so-called occupiers really expect the 1% to just turn over to them all of there wealth just because they whine that they deserve it? The truth is that this group is predestined by their own doing to fail. They are the product of years of liberalism that has created 2 to 3 generations of people that have been told that they are not allowed to do anything more than fail. Corrupted and cultivated by academia they grow like bacteria in a petri dish told that it is everyone else's fault for why their world sucks!

They are told of the successes in the world and the benefits that it brings but yet they are not sold that success and riches are not easily attain. One must put forth effort and hard work to make it in this world and guess what, sometimes even that is not enough. Instead this group is told that anyone who has achieved success and the riches that go with it are evil greedy and corrupt people and should be taken down. It is unfair in their eyes for anyone with more than they have to be left alone.

Now it is understandable by human nature for a certain level of envy to exist. I myself have been guilty of envy from one time or another to look at what someone has or what they have accomplished. But yet I don't begrudge those who have achieved more than I, but instead I tried to find out what it was that separated them that made them much more successful or more wealthy than I and maybe and just maybe in doing so there was a hope that I might be able to find new ways to increase and improve upon my own position. But with this group it's different, they've been taught that the finer things in life they want, they are entitled to but yet they don’t work and aren't really contributing to society in a way that has earned those privileges. But in their minds they really don't see success as achievable instead they are set upon the easy path to failure because it's much easier to fail because to do so you don't have to do anything! Just sit on your hands and only occasionally raise them to point fingers at others for your shortcomings. You could just look at the failures and then blame other individuals who you target as the evil rich for why you can't achieve and have what you want in this life. Such is the "doom" prophecy of liberalism!

 Just look at the events of this past week with the occupiers in Oakland who shut down the fifth largest seaport in the nation. In their quest to hurt the “evil rich” , really who did they hurt but the everyday people. They kept people from getting to work, they kept truckers from picking up and delivering goods and those goods may have been food or medicine or other service items needed by the people. They kept local business owners from operating their businesses and making money. So again who did they really hurt the everyday people. The irony in this situation is that I would venture to guess that the Oakland Seaport and all of the truckers who pick up and deliver goods in and out of the seaport are all members of unions and it is the unions that are behind this occupying movement so in theory they are fighting amongst themselves but too ignorant to truly understand.

I guess though that there is one bright spot going for the occupiers because if they are successful in really tearing down capitalism and this government it may lead to more and more of us living in the streets. Food supplys may dwindle and overall panic may ensue. And I can tell you nothing good will come of that! But it seems that they already have a head start on living like refugees ahead of the rest of us but hopefully this country will wise up and it won't get to that!

When it begins to Unravel…

Like the worn threads of that tatered favorite sweater or the roll of toilet tissue unfurled on the floor at the 

paws of your bored kitty, when things become unraveled their usefilness begins to be called into question. Is it time to scrape the whole thing or can it be repaired? This too is the case of our bruised and fragile economic systems in this country and around the world. As “Money makes the World go round” it is always at the roots of envy, greed, power and despair. For those who have it there are always the questions of how they got it, what they do with it and how long will they keep it? Does it provide them the power and security they seek and afford them a lifestyle far above the others? Now I don’t begrudge anyone their wealth and learned a long long time ago that there’s nothing in this world as fair. Fair by whose standards; the ones who believe that they have earned their wealth and have every right to it or the “have-nots” who think that just because they don’t have than nobody else should either! And in their minds what does un-fair really mean? In its most simplistic forms…it means MORE!

I WANT MORE…

Such is the case with the spoiled un-informed & unwashed of the “Occupy Wall St.” movement. To hear these folks speak is like a root canal without novocaine. Their rambilings of revolution and disdain for the rich and evil corporations that they garnered from the acedamia crowd at the local universities has filled their heads just like the marijauna clouds fill the air of Zuccatti Park. Free education, free healthcare, free sex, and free drugs, free, free, free they chanted. One even asked as to why we have money in the first place? The world would be better without it she sang. And yet I’ll venture to guess that the majority of them have not held a real “adult” job nor have they left the warm confines of Mom & Dads humble abode to really face the evils of the world on their own. They have been sheltered in their dorms concerned mainly about the new release of a video game or the new I-Phone that they have to have. Yet they decry of all of the evils set upon them and the hardships they face at the hands of the evil rich and manupulitive corportations for whose products they all can’t live without. For the majorty of them the message if there is one is garbled and incoherent. They’re not really sure why they are there other than it seemed cool to be a part of something and hey we can be disruptive for the sake of doing so! And maybe I can score some drugs and hook up with that chick in the “hemp” sweater over there, well I think she’s a chick its hard to tell…

Now mixed into the sea of “brats” are some true radical elements who at their core hate with all of their passion everything this country stands for. Their goal is to bring it down so that in their quest for ultimate freedom they seek a socialist society that is fair for everyone. Social justice their rallying cries. Their march has been afoot for sometime and they have worked in the shadows to weaken the pillars of our society with the help and money of the likes of George Soros and others. Now these efforts are not new and go back in our history as far as Woodrow Wilson who was himself a huge progressive and real SOB. The difference this time is that our foundations (and economy) have been weakened as has those of other countries around the world. 

What concerns me most besides the timing of all of this and the nagging trend that protesting is the cool action of the day, is that for the first time in our history we have in the oval office the most liberal and radical president of all time.

He himself was reared by an anti-capitalist, anti-colonialist father and hippie mother. His guiding light handbook was Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” which set him on the path of anti-american visions and mob rule. His cronies were wanted criminals and violent revolutionaries like Bill Ayers & Bernadine Dorn and in his own words he stated that while in college at Columbia he gravitated to the most liberal and radical elements around him. This is where he sought comfort and sense of purpose.

Now with all the power of the US Presidency at his hand, he has surrounded himself with like-minded individuals who now have been given power of their own to set their mission in motion at an accelerated pace. People like Cass Sunstein and Van Jones a self-proclaimed communist have been given the freedoms to embark on the destruction of our country.  Van Jones has been documented in videos calling for people to take to the streets in violent revolution and uprising against the establishment. If it weren’t for being “outed” publicly by Glenn Beck for what he is causing his resignation from his position as “Green Czar”, he would still be in the WH advising the president. And just the other day when his so-called jobs-bill was defeated Obama himself called for his “czars” to sidestep Congress and just get it done. Now remember that these folks were not vetted by Congress and soley appointed by Obama for this very purpose. They work for the White House and do not report to Congress & work independently outside of the confines of the US Constitution. Can you say “shadow gov’t”?

You may be thinking that I have gone off of the deep end and am paranoid and delusional about these actions, but don’t take my word for it. Look these people up and see what they have done in the past and what they stand for yourself. These people along with some prominent Democratic lawmakers are calling for more citizens to take to the streets and this Occupy Wall St farce falls perfectly into their hands as a good start of what is to come!

Now as a student of history I see comparisons to 1917 Russia when there was “class-warfare” between the Bolsheviks (working class) and the so-called Bourgeois (the rich). The downtrodden and despaired reverted to mob-rule under fragmented leadership and soon anarchy and violence followed. First the mob targeted & killed the rich because their wealth was “unfair”, then they killed the business and shop owners because they too had more, then they went after the landowners and farmers for the same reasons. Well it wasn't long after that the businesses shut down, the food supplies ran out and the people had no sources of income.

(We recently saw glimpses of this activity and its effects in London a short time back when their disgruntled fringe started riots for “social justice and equality”destroying businesses and burning the city. How long will it be before things turn ugly here?).

Once the mob took over things went downhill fast and the masses found themselves starving in the streets without leadership and most of all the freedoms of which they sought the most. Such is the fallacy of socialism. In their quest for equality they found themselves in a far worse situation than to the one prior; but the damage had already been done and without leadership, business production & infrastructure now everybody was poor sans a very select few.

So before we continue to show credence to these “Occupiers” who are nothing more than the biproducts of a Liberal society fueled by entitlement, ask yourself “So how bad and unfair was it really”? Compared to staving in the streets maybe it wasn’t so bad!

So as things start to unravel do we replace it all with a new approach or find new life in the old to save our country?
