Well, in that interview with the author, he sure painted a pretty bleak picture for the American society as a whole. Can't say that I disagree with him, but one would like to think that there is more hope for people to work together to make significant changes in government than he led us to believe.

Education and a living wage are the only things that have a chance to change things, but how do you bring education to people who have never seen anyone in their family get a decent one--for them, the really high achievers are the ones who graduate from high school!

Doing Something WorthwhileJul 14, 2014 Finally, after some years of talking about it, I attended an orientation class to volunteer at our local animal shelter. I see posts from time to time on this board about people wanting to do something to get out of the house, fight depression, etc.

Trump Considering Using Seized Cartel AssetsSep 01, 2016 It's always amusing when the pundits opine that Mexico will never pay for the wall. It's obvious that what they envision is Trump sending a bill to Mexico City:
To: Government of Mexico
Re: Demand for Payment
Item: Wall, One.
Amount Due: $60 million
Terms: Payable within 30 days.
