39. Thanks, well said.

We know that many things are best done as a community, and with community funding. One of the most devastating results of the right-wing's actions is destruction of community. And by community I mean everything from one-on-one personal interactions between people, to participation in community service, to universal health care.

Whether or not that's intentional and planned or not, I don't know. But I do know that ever since Big K and Walmart began the forced shuttering of mom and pop local stores in the 60s, and now many people always keeping their face in a smart phone, we have become do a degree a population of corporate robots.

There was a brief spell back in the late 90s when I, like many, fell for the fascination of the stock market and would have been far better off keeping my money in the mattress. I was fooled into thinking it was a fair, logical system but then found out it was nothing but a big gambling house driven by greed. Some of the best examples I can think of are their demand that companies achieve never ending improvements in efficiency (which is impossible with human employees), their keeping of boards of directors behind closed doors, and the almost absolute protection of the wealthy's assets by hedging.

I may be too old fashioned but I fear we're heading in many dangerous directions, some of which may be impossible to reverse.
