The Democrats have a long, proud heritage and it's time we focused on it! Especially the emphasis on people, service, community and country-

But I just wonder why Hillary Clinton scores the Dynasty Fatigue Label, as the wife of a President...and only the 2nd Clinton (actually, first Rodham) to run. Caroline Kennedy got some flack when she indicated interest, so quickly left the scene. But how many Kennedy men were and are in office...with nary a Dynasty Peep that I've heard?

(13,877 posts)was not old enough to vote, but those positive images have remained. I actually met Nixon once. But that's another story. Seems the corporations and globalization ships have already sailed starting back at the Industrial Revolution.
I struggle with it, too. But it's like saying we have to go back to cooking fresh food everything (which would be better for us)...no fast food, no deli, no frozen food. We're more used to it than we know. Things have moved ahead and turning back the clock/economy is not going to happen. I wish I knew what the answer was, but better minds than mine have looked at it. Everything we see or touch these days sources from a corporation somewhere, and we're not always sure from which country. It's overwhelming.
