I haven't given up hope just yet. People are waking up. This won't go away until there are marches in the streets. It seems highly likely that matters will become much worse before they get any better at all, but I maintain my confidence in ultimate positive results.

This will be a major test of our beliefs in freedom and self-governance and our abilities to determine what WE believe is best for America, not corporate-America or governmental-America; however, it must go beyond beliefs and into actions.

I hope that you are right. If not, this great experiment will have failed. We are going down the same path as Rome did.

It's time we all went to the writings of early America for links to the wisdom of those great thinkers. My favorite is Thomas Jefferson. Here's an appropriate quotation from the mind of one of the WORLD'S greatest thinkers:

"[Is] rapid population [growth] by as great importations of foreigners as possible... founded in good policy?... They will bring with them the principles of the governments they leave, imbibed in their early youth; or, if able to throw them off, it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness, passing, as is usual, from one extreme to another. It would be a miracle were they to stop precisely at the point of temperate liberty. These principles, with their language, they will transmit to their children. In proportion to their number, they will share with us the legislation. They will infuse into it their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass... If they come of themselves, they are entitled to all the rights of citizenship: but I doubt the expediency of inviting them by extraordinary encouragements." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.VIII, 1782.
