Paul, you have been consistently right in my opinion but what you have not spoken out enough about is the complicity of the other side. They want things to be bad so they can come in and do what Nixon did with Russian and China. It's Lucy and Charlie Brown all over again and that football. LBJ could have never gotten Nixon's foreign policy through a Republican Congress but a Republican could and did. Now Nixon has an Opera by John Adams while LBJ's civil right's heroism and sacrifice is under review by the Tea Baggers. The Republicans are against it unless they do it. They WILL do it because they like to get the credit. They are status seeking venal, mean and cynical folks. They are the ones who speak of it being correct for Wall Street to bet against the people they sold stocks to as a bargain and then blamed the people who bought the stocks for not being more intelligent than to buy such a bad deal from them. What is it that makes us think that the Old West's vendettas will not return if there is no recourse for the common person on the street? If that concealed carry law gets through Congress, I'm sure we can look to a lot more gunfights in downtown Manhattan as little people who have been cheated take the only way out. Even today you cannot get a Police officer's name should he assault you under the Homeland Security laws. It's all about family and fear of those concealed weapons. What you have not said is that people who compare large systems, like governments, to small systems, like households, are people who don't understand systems at all and that if they know so little about systems then they are incapable of governing a large system. Small and large scale systems are not the same and yet we hear it regularly from the inept sector of both parties. Is not America like Warren Buffet or Bill Gates with a bad year? Do we not still have all this physical capital wealth and huge educational quality in our workforce in spite of the 100 year dumb down by American assembly line industry? Is the nation not physically rich but with a cash flow problem? Does not China have too many people while everyone else has too little resources? What are we crying about? Should we not get back to work or take back what we have given to the private sector and put it where it will work? Digoweli
