NATIONAL REPORT CARD??

In 13 Days We Will "Self-Grade"

 

In full view of the citizens of the world,  viewed through the capabilities of the most sophisticated and fasted communications systems we have ever known, the citizens of the United States will "grade" themselves on several highly complex issues.

 

Are we an "outward-looking" people, or an "inward-looking" collection of self-interests?

 

Are we able to transcend our "internal isolations" and see beyond our individual and group fortresses sufficiently enough to preserve the united character of our nation?

 

Will we "double-down" on the everyone-for-themselves mind set that has reigned for 30 years?

 

Should "winner-take-all" trump traditional values like character, truth, honesty, trust?

 

How many really believe that domination by white males is the "natural order" for the planet?

 

How many are ready to trash  "science" that has brought the planet its "progress" and regress toward religious "truths".

 

Will we vote to continue our recent practices of "never compromise"?

 

Will we continue to permit the wealthiest among us to shirk their traditional role in providing jobs for our citizenry; hide their money outside the nation; take no responsibility for the consequences of their actions or inactions?

 

Will we vote to dump our war debts on the poor and the middle class among our citizenry?

 

Will we realize that "the government" is really "the people" acting in concert?

 

These are a great many things for the voter to think about.  Will they think? Will they Vote?

Stay Vigilant!
