The American Middle Class is being crammed down by inaction in Washington and unregulated Wall Street. Banks are conspiring with real estate brokers and appraisers to reduce pricing in the housing market, thereby destroying a major component of the life's savings of many Americans—their home. The 1% wants this process to continue, because once they cram down the Middle Class, they have what amounts to a "reset" of the economy at a much lower level, and they can ride it up again, much as...
•Why Saving the Middle Class Is Fair
Wall Street investment banks speculated without regulation for the last decade. They created risks at about 900:1. No wonder they were paying themselves $100 million bonuses. In Las Vegas, you can only get 35:1 odds on Roulette. When their house of cards collapsed, the life's savings of millions of Americans evaporated in a few months. Americans were called upon to "bail them out" with trillions of dollars, because they were "too big to fail." Now the Middle Class needs a bail out too!
Let us...
•Results of Class Warfare in the United States
The "Social Contract", as Jean-Jacques Rousseau explains it, is certain unwritten understandings by which everyone in a society operates. These can be changed, but as the French and American Revolutions and the Arab Spring have shown us, often only with significant upheaval. These changes often occur when the majority finally says to the powers that be that the status quo in the society is not good enough.
We have reached such a time in the United States of America. Bill Moyers quotes The...
•Flu Shots and Abortions Change History
I always urge all of my friends to get a flu shot. I wouldn't be here if my Grandfather's fiancé had gotten one. At the time of the great flu epidemic of 1918, my Grandfather was about to marry someone who was not my Grandmother.
Fortunately for me, she and her four sisters died on the same weekend from the Influenza Pandemic of 1918. A pandemic is an epidemic that infects a large proportion of the world's population on a global scale. Statistics vary, but reports put the number of...
•Referring to Socialism Is a Republican Tactic to Grind Down the Middle Class
Conservative media personalities try to throw the word "socialism" or "socialist" into everything they say about politics. It's time to call them at their game, and show how they are using psychology to manipulate the American electorate.
Words are symbols, which have deep meaning in our subconscious minds. For those in my generation and older, "socialism" means the old Soviet Union, the "evil empire" that dominated Russian life for over 70 years. That was a system that famously did not work....
•Who Broke the Social Contract
The Occupy Movement is going viral because the "Social Contract" is severely broken. Living was fairly comfortable for most Americans in the second half of the 20th Century. After years of war and depression, the 1% focused their attention on building the American economy. This meant huge growth for the economy, and opportunity for all. Americans could grow up in relative comfort, be educated, go to work, raise families, and die with a modicum of dignity.
So why are people suddenly in the...
•Fortunately Scott Walker Over Reached Enough to Wake Up America
What I want to know is why all those Americans who keep shouting about the U.S. Constitution are not shouting about the loss of our rights of Assembly and Petition Government for Redress of Grievances.
When my Grandson was 5 years old, he and I attended the opening of the Newseum on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC. One of the exhibits there was a series of short video clips where average Americans were asked, "What are the 5 Rights guaranteed by the 1st Amendment of the Constitution of...
•10 Big Lies Republicans Tell
"…in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses … more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously."
This is how Adolph Hitler defined the...
•The Man Who Pulled Solidified a New Nation
"The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power." Alexander Hamilton
There are many heroes of the American experience, but few can claim the stature of Alexander Hamilton. He was a revolutionary before he was 21, and a hero of sufficient note that George Washington named him his...
•Lessons on Our Humanity
Did you ever get a "talking to" from your father? One of my friends recently noted in his Facebook status that he had received "a talking to" from his father for supporting the Women2Drive movement in Saudi Arabia. He clearly has no intention of backing down from his position that Saudi women should have many rights, including the right to drive a car enjoyed by Muslim women in every other country of the world, including 46 other Muslim countries.
Many of the comments to this Facebook...
•Are There Lessons From 9/11?
It seems odd to be talking about the 10th "anniversary" of 9/11, because we have no real closure. Each of us harbors a queasy feeling at the base of our being that says the event is not over.
We know that despite the trillions of dollars that have gone into national defense, security systems, wars and reparations, on any given Sunday, not only Sunday, September 11, 2011, or on any day for that matter, something can happen that is even more horrific.
9/11 announced the existence of new...
•Naturalization Ceremony at William Paca House
This year we had a most memorable 4th of July. My wife and I attended the Citizenship Ceremony for new Americans at the William Paca [pronounced PayKa] House & Gardens in Annapolis, Maryland. What struck me most about the event was that these 38 new Americans understand better than many native born Americans what being an American really means. Each of them left a life, a family, and a cultural heritage to join us in "the land of the free and the home of the brave."
For we Americans, there...

•Importance of Symbols in Family Relations
My sister and I have not spoken since August 9, 2009. There has been a total freeze in our relationship. I know this sort of thing happens in many families, so I will leave it at that. She is the Executor of our parents' estates.
Today, Christmas 2010, I received a powerful gift from her, which illustrates many of the ideas we are talking about, so despite my resolution to leave the computer off today, I feel compelled to write these thoughts down. Although she said it was a bequest from...
•10 Steps to a Basic Joomla® Web Site
10 Steps to a Basic Joomla® Web Site I learned how to use Joomla® like a newborn baby learns about its environment. This article is intended for you if you are at that level. If you are an accomplished Webmaster with established sites, you should stop reading here. While I mention some software I use here, please do not take this article as an endorsement of them. This article is to teach you what the techies don't think to tell you in their "documentation."
