(And it goes on to a chorus, another verse and then it ends with) My Country Tis of Thee Sweet land of liberty Why are you sleeping, Tonight? A song I wrote which I think is appropriate

My country tis of thee
sweet land of liberty
Why are you sleeping
when there’s work to be done
Our father’s cry out to thee
Do you remember me
Or have you forgotten
how your freedom was won
So wake up America
There’s trouble among us
If you can’t see it
your freedom soon may be gone
So stand up for liberty
that your children too may sing
My Country Tis of Thee,
our song……
(And it goes on to a chorus, another verse and then it ends with)
My Country Tis of Thee
Sweet land of liberty
Why are you sleeping, Tonight?

I talk not of big government. What I do believe is essential for a healthy America is a more equitable share of the wealth in this country. It is apparent that our beleagured middle class is under enormous pressure. Young people today face a wall of lowered expectations. Many can not afford higher education and jobs are scarce,yet we still see obscene bonuses paid to ceos of the very corporations that are cutting back payroll to improve profits. Our schools are in shambles,the homeless dot the landscape of our cities and our children are becoming obese and indolent.Yes, I think it is time for americans to excercise their individual freedom.A rennaisance in the labor movement and protests by working americans at large would be a good start. No, not bigger government, Smarter government. One that is truly representative of all the people.A government unencumbered by the constraints of the aristocracy of big money .

Mr. Yablans;

Are you suggesting that individual freedom needs to be sacrificed on the altar of big government?

I thought that what the atrocity of 9/11 represented would wake the people up to the non-benign forces in the world, but apparently not. This is due in part (perhaps critically) to a press that has largely abandoned its role (there are exceptions, and this gives hope), and to the purposeful deterioration of our educational system(s). Critical thinking and respectful disagreement is disappearing from the public forum. There are, as this essay points out, career politicians who cannot be or become a Jefferson, a Hamilton (these two gents hated each other, but Jefferson wasn't given to hate I think) an Adams, a Monroe, etc. They are simply parasites. There are three rules in politics: 1. Get elected; 2. Get re-elected; 3. Don't let ANYTHING stand in the way of 1. and 2. Senator Arlen Spector is a good case in point. One could go on...Thanks for the article.

Keep a close eye on the “czars”, I believe they are the forefront of a new army of political officers, and will soon branch out into each agency to assure obedience to the party. Great article.
