True Colors are showing now and this is good
4 years ago we were not aware of the roll media really plays in the power and underlying agendas of neo thought.So much has been exposed and now the work begins.The battle we face now is as unjust as this war in Iraq, our military doesn't know it's enemy,there is no terrorist uniforms.The shmucks who blew up the towers had no uniforms.Our work is endless untill we can deal with the reasoning behind a world with terrorism and greed
that creates need.The strength of the right(which is an unfair term) lies in thier lack of infighting and diversity. WE HAVE WORK TO DO to make capialism work in fairness.The answers aren't in Communism or devout socalism,we watch them implode.The work will be in a new work ethic that wll enable us to ballance education and entertainment.

1. I have to disagree with you
Capitalism is proving itself just as failed and destructive system as Communism ever was. I don't see where true Socialism has been proven a failure, or Democratic Socialism.

3. Yep, the rest doesn't hold water either.

5. Democratic socialism will never get a chance to prove anything here
in the good ol' U.S. of A. "Socialism," like the term "liberal," has been slandered by the blind but faithful worshipers of free market.

The best we can do, in my opinion, is to acknowledge the problems with our economic system (and political system) and work damned hard to reform them. I believe in fair markets rather than free markets and that the govt. of the people has an obligation to make sure the markets are fair and that the system does not engender greater disparity in wealth and power between owners and workers. I see the possibility for a synthesis of some of the better aspects of capitalism and socialism within a nation have a strong democratic political system.

6. Democratic Socialism has never been tried here
So we could not know if it works or not. May I live long enough to find out.

4. If a new "work ethic" develops...
I sincerely hope and pray the government has nothing to do with its creation or implementation.

8. Yes, we were aware of the role media played.
We just hoped that reason would prevail. But not in Bush's AmeriKKKan base.
