All You Need to Know About Where We Are Headed

"The core principles are clear to anyone who listened to a Bush stump speech. They are drawn from a well of conservative (and, in the 19th-century sense, "liberal") dogma: that only free-market democracies respectful of traditional moral values can bring us a planet of fulfilled citizens secure from terror."

Read it, know it, fight it. This is where we are headed...is this REALLY where you think we should go?

If so, I ask you this:

Whose morals will we be imposing upon others? We can't even agree on whose morals should dominate in this country! And, isn't the fact that we would be choosing a set of morals different from those in other countries and regions of the world part of the reason for discord and terrorism throughout the world?

Free markets or unrestrained capitalism? Do you really think corporations are capable of policing themselves? Do you really think that everything worth doing in society is profitable? Do you think everyone can be an owner? Do you believe in an aristocracy of wealth? Where does the middle class fall in the future? Do you really believe in trickle-down, supply-side economics of the 80's? Voodoo economics?

Have we forgotten history? Haven't we tried all this before? I suggest you reference the Civil War sans the slavery issue for the aristocracy of the landed and wealthy, the 1920's for political corruption and unrestrained big business, the 1960's for insurgency warfare...and how to lose it, the 1980's for Voodoo economics and rampant greed, and the 1990's for corporate ethics run amok.

Wake up America! It all sounds good and looks pretty on the packaging, but you're being sold a lemon.

If you can work through the above questions and still believe in the vision, then I ask you this: Is it working?

Yeah, I thought you might figure it out.
