In the past, being larger and richer meant being better fed,
brighter, smarter, more entitled. Our
country started out saying that all men are equal (they didn’t say much about women or people who were what they considered subspecies. It wasn't an issue then.)
Now we have had a couple hundred years to mature we are returning to our
roots the way children do when they finally realize their parents are not as
far off the mark as they once thought.
Some of us have become a pesky power to reckon
with, so we are at a pivotal point in the history of
civilization. Comfort says we should
return to the way it has always been. Rich
men rule. Our constitution says that in a
country like ours, majority rules, but when
something that was never a threat before becomes a power to reckon with the
powers that be start playing rough.
More than ever the time has come when intelligent human
beings need to really think before they hand over any power to an
administration that believes it knows what is best. As comfortable as it might be to believe that someone will
just take care of us all and hand out justice with a fair hand, it is wrong
thinking. It is dangerous thinking.
We need to take care of each other and ourselves. This country is a work in progress.
