BUT...I agree with much of that which you have said. BUT I neither forgive nor forget that it was Clinton who agreed to Nafta and Gant. He KNEW that the American people would neither be served first nor best , which I feel is the DUTY of American Presidents. To do otherwise would be for the President/CEO of AT&T to serve the interests of Centurytel first and strongest. <BR/>Gore had no guts and Kerry was a quitter. What will be the excuse THIS time?<BR/>Who serves the interest of THIS nation? Though I believe that there is a hiearchy according to ability and inclination - you still cannot totally drop the least paid and least able short of Hitler's final solution.<BR/>That there is too much interdependency to logically do that. <BR/>I am sickened by American jobs going overseas. I am appalled with the total lack of choice in this whole thing - this election is a joke. None of them were exceptionally interested in the American Public. Most were just variances of Bush with different window dressing. Including Hillary. <BR/>I think that an evaluation needs to be done on out current leg. If their job evaluation doesnot serve US 1st by voting record- they should be voted out.<BR/>Alas, I fear that it maybe too late.<BR/>No one cared when it was Black and Decker going to Mexico because it was factory jobs. My paternal grandfather ( Business agent IBEW in Springfield , MA , had 1 bit of wisdom for me as a child. It was there has never been a UNION in place in ANY job that the actions of the management and administration had not forced into existance by their actions.SueWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17483227596368270318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18193044.post-66071120668397164332008-08-02T08:43:00.000-05:002008-08-02T08:43:00.000-05:00Will These Leaders Cause Another Wreckage in 2008...Will These Leaders Cause Another Wreckage in 2008 like the famous 1903 Wreck of the Old 97?<BR/><BR/>Dear Wayne,<BR/><BR/>You report,<BR/>“Vaclav Havel never did choose to stand up and pull the ’stop’ cord on the train!”<BR/><BR/>But, Wayne, the colossal train is adding cars and accelerating its speed as it proceeds down the track. There is no engineer on the train. Everyone has gone below to stoke the furnace so that the train goes faster and faster. Where it will stop, or how, nobody knows. Conventional wisdom indicates the track is clear ahead and without an endpoint. Widely shared and consensually validated thinking assures everyone on board this train that we can add more and more cars to the train and continuously stoke its furnace with fossil fuels so that the train can keep going at an increasing speed as long as we have fuel to keep the train going. There are no limits to the speed the train can achieve, no limits to the number of cars the engine can pull, and no end to the railroad track. Everything is going as planned and will continue without interruption indefinitely.<BR/><BR/>Wayne, if this train is a metaphor for the ever manmade global political economy, could you help us understand how magical thinking, arrogance, pyramid-type schemes and greed are governing the seemingly endless growth of the global economy and how the unbridled increase of the leviathan-like global economy cannot be sustained much longer by a relatively small, evidently finite, noticeably frangible planet with the size and make-up of Earth?<BR/><BR/>And what of the ’stop’ cord on the train, Wayne? I can see it, but cannot yet see how pulling it will do any good because there is no engineer in control. Do you think Vaclav Havel could see that the engine room must have been empty for a long time?<BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>Steve<BR/><BR/>Steven Earl Salmony<BR/>AWAREness Campaign on The Human Population, established 2001Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18193044.post-22537193187443338802008-08-01T06:24:00.000-05:002008-08-01T06:24:00.000-05:00Tanya approves this message!
