define the mission. define the desire. our constitution is quite safe. it really is. but we are being thrashed by an out of porportion money scheme that sends our brightest to wall street for millions while we lack in doctors. while we have 50,000 a year graduating as lawyers (like we need more), we lack in nurses. this makes no sense. something is amiss. and it is not Obama. or radicals. or this or that. it is a rot far deeper. and only we can change it. to say to stop spending our lives for the big buck, but to create. to expand.

I agree in part, disagree in part.

Our Constitution is not safe. The education system in this country is broken. Kids are not taught about our Republic and the Constitution to the same extent they were when you and I were in school. Some view the Constitution as a relic, or else as something that can be avoided.

What of the rule of law? That was trashed with the takeover of entire industries, with the end-run around GM bondholders to accept less than what they were entitled to by contract. Contracts are legal bonds. If they become meaningless, no one will have confidence in the word of the other party and things grind to a halt.

I agree only we can change things, and I intend to do what I can.

If you have a spare 10 minutes, or 5 if you're a fast reader (which I'm not) read this article. I'd be interested in your thoughts on it:
