The ‘sweet pea monologues’ final day…hasn’t this week’s entries been eye opening? …and not only for ‘Bill Clinton’ : ) as usual, my words in bold italics…
A few of you privately stated it was long, too long, yes, I know, 1000+ word blog entries a no-no (usually) and I’m sorry about that but I just did not see any other way to divide the info effectively. I didn’t mind reading the entirety of it 4x’s so I really did not perceive it to be that long, so again, my apologies…
To honor that sentiment though, I will ’summarize’ the past 3 days and this last day…
* Lawyers have gotten a bad rap, handed down by repubs to give the perception that little people can’t and won’t win or even have their day in court.
* Dems and Repubs – both sides have signs of corruption it just shows up a bit differently, and by all accounts here at least Dems are more altruistic and have some genuine concern for the average Joe/Jane, Repubs are rich white males who only want more, more, more and don’t concern themselves with who suffers for them to get it.
* READ the consitution, especially the checks and balances the 3 branches provide, re: the supreme court justices, they shouldn’t be legistlating ‘moral values’ – who would you have in charge of my/your moral values, values of the various cultures represented in the US population?
* one of the reasons this country was established under laws was to separate the church and state. I agree in theory, anonz, but the Christian right carries a lot of hefty clout, what to do?
Way over simplified I know, sweet pea, but if you have 2 better sentence/paragraphs please share.
I left this one paragraph as is – it’s important, not that all others weren’t, I’m just concerned about attention spans here, that’s all : )
The “spirit of enterprise” that you mention has been stifled by the deregulation that has allowed the dishonest corporations and criminals to gain a huge advantage over the honest business man. Your kind has forced them to look the other way at corruption, even to join in to survive. You and your-make-money-at-any-cost kind have poisoned the well of American entrepreneurialism with your political cronyism, no bid contracts, oligopolies, price manipulations, tax relief for the rich and big corporations, labor abuses, and deprivation of affordable health care for the people. You tell it…
You’re right that most people need lawyers to sue for their rights and bring to light the government’s abuse of their basic rights/needs. “Hard work” will afford the people nothing as long as the crooks can continue to manipulate the price of the goods and services that every American works so hard for. He just ends up working to give his earnings back to the corporation that gave it to him. I’ve been saying this for some time, just wait till I shred that subject soon, it’s a vicious cycle for average Jane/Joe’s.
Bill, you did get one quote right. “more power will only make our problems worse.” If the American people give the Republican party more power, this country will belong to the highest bidder. Yes, I agree, so please, don’t do it…any of you…
It seems you’ve all gone a bit mute over the political rant – mulling it all over? Or does it feel over your head, over the top, or over the limits of what you can stand from such a powerful party?
I am going to switch to a lighter topic on Sat, you know, just bc, and why not we’ll heading into the weekend…anonz, thanks for letting me use your words and for the week off, hahaha…
Feel free to comment and/or leave questions for me, anonz, or Bill Clinton, I’m sure he’s watching, maybe we can get him to come out and play again. c’mon BC, pretty please : )
