I know our government will most likely never allow world peace, but can't we have peace in our own country among ourselves? How about "live and let live"?
This is one thing that is fundamentally wrong with our country, our government, our politicians, and OURSELVES. Me, Me, Me, Me, Me! Self centered, self indulgent, and self serving.
I was blessed to have been born in the 60's. In the majority of my life, The U.S. "bounty" has most always been plentiful. There has always been enough to go around for most anyone who was willing to work a little for it. This is not the case in our current "authoritarian" capitalist economy. "Democratic capitalism" (which made this country what it once was), stands in contrast to our current "authoritarian capitalism", by limiting the influence of special interest groups, including corporate lobbyists, on politics".
We lifted the impoverished out of poverty with a chance at a better life, not a hand out. We enhanced the lifestyle of the average American, of ALL Americans. The Middle Class and the Wealthy paid taxes willingly, for the good of the whole. Life was good for most everyone in America, not just a chosen few, and we were happy with it.
Isn't that what real "Americans" are all about? Isn't that what made this country what it once was? Isn't that what the definition of "America" was? Haven't "Americans" always taken care of their own?
There are many intelligent and objective people in this country, regardless of political party. Can't we get together and come upon resolutions that work for everyone? Negotiate. Compromise. Compassion. Is it that hard, or is it that simple?
Take a good long hard look in the mirror. Are you part of the problem, or part of the solution?

U.S.D.A: Cut the Fat and Stop Feeding Us Dog Food
Need budget cuts? Here's a great place to start. Just one of the numerous tax payer supported government departments I talked about in the book that were created to watch out for us, but seem to prefer to watch out for Big Biz and their profits (or not watch out at all ).
The following is just one example of many, from the food they allow to be sold, to dangerous drugs, to medical implants, to ..............
From an article on Yahoo News and a video from Jamie Oliver ( link below):
"McDonalds confirms it's no longer using "pink slime" in it's burgers".
OMG this is disgusting! Pink slime is a product made with beef that is not fit for human consumption, but slated for dog food and other products. Because the USDA considers this a "process", it allows vendors to not disclose that this garbage is in any product, or how much or what percentage may be contained.
Almost any type of commercially processed ground beef , chili meat, etc. will most likely contain around 15 PERCENT of this product. This allows them to sell it to us unknowingly, and create bigger profits for themselves. They basically take chemically altered garbage ( beef not fit for human consumption, ammonia, and water ) , mix it up and feed it to us, and make an additional 15%! The chemical kills the germs, bacteria and other toxins, now rendering it "safe" for humans.
Other "safe" chemicals found routinely in our foods:
Propylene Glycol: Very similar to ethylene glycol or anti-freeze.
Carmine: Found in most red food coloring and made from ground up cochineal beetles.
Shellac: Yes the same stuff on your furniture, used a lot for gloss on candy etc.
L-cycsteine: A dough enhancer made from hair, feathers, hooves, and bristles.
Silicon dioxide: Basically sand used as a anti caking agent in shredded cheese and fast food chili etc.
Mmmmm Hmmmm!
Nothing like the good old boys at the U.S.D.A looking out for us! They classify these products as "generally recognized as safe". Generally? What is that supposed to mean?
This is just ONE example, not to forget they use a very similar process with processed chicken products.
Need budget cuts? Cut the fat and BS at the USDA!
