The American Dream

Amber waves of grain broken by the emergence of a new tower of Babel highlight a country starting to redefine itself as the haves and have-nots. Language is no longer a way to communicate but obfuscate so that the have-nots do not realize they are being disenfranchised.

In an age where education is being reduced to statistics that are easily measured and can be manipulated to mean almost anything, it becomes terrifyingly necessary to really teach people to think.

The times they are a changing - in what could be irreversible ways.

The grass roots of a country underneath those amber waves are being fertilized by anger and despair.

Desperate for sanity; starving for the simple chance to strive for the American Dream; frustrated beyond endurance; Americans are seeing their country portrayed like some third world place where a bunch of petty dictators are trying to wrest control from - each other and the people.

Can liberty and justice for all prevail? Is there enough honesty and empathy and strength to save us from ourselves?
