We need to make it easier to be good: Letter to the Editor
We must find ways to make it easier to be good. We have a culture of death here and abroad. We have mass shootings and war zones in our country. Barbaric wars flourish in the Middle East and beyond. Fighting a war against a word like terrorism has backfired. Nations act as brokers and dealers in a global economic arena resulting in a new form of colonialism where nations find they must protect their interests everywhere.
We have raw capitalism. The free market is reserved for only a few. The free enterprise system is crushed. Millions have lost their jobs and their businesses. Free trade economics has failed and brought out the worst in us. A few are doing well while their neighbors get fired for the sake of more profits and stock values.
Pope Francis came and reminded us of the golden rule about doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. It is no longer just a biblical phrase. It is the only practical solution we have left. The culture of death now even includes the selling of baby parts for profit.
President Obama calls for new gun laws, but many wonder what he means when he talks about the new world order. We need to make it easier for all to be good.

Extra Note: Nicholas Goble, Ph.D candidate in physics at Case Western Reserve U. uses advanced statistical analysis of risk versus benefit of crime through the perpective fo the offender.
The article titled Minimum wage's effects on crime, tells about risks versus benefits with crimminal behavior being more common in lower-income households. Raising the poverty line via minimum wage increases would tip the scales in favor of legititmate sources of income, especially in the case of nonviolent, cash-motivated crimes. ( If we want to make it easier to be good, supporting low-income households is a good way to start. And Free trade economics is not the way to do it. )

Timeless Articles -
Our Journey in the Fields of Broken Dreams
Free trade has a long history of failures. It is 1937 all over again when President Roosevelt realized that his bail outs and stimulus packages were not doing the job in restoring the U.S. economy. He said he would not let the lack of dollars stand in his way as he announced the Lend Lease program. However this time around, our industrial base is no longer here in America. It has been chopped up into pieces and spread across the globe. The value of workers and labor has been deflated and degraded.
Spinning the News is Not New - Does This Sound Familiar?
If you think the media is spinning the news today and President Clinton and President Bush are experts in branding events according to their own desires, then take a look at Woodrow Wilson and what a mess he made. Here is an untold story behind the news in the global economic arena as our economy is based on making money on money instead of making things. The news channels have failed in telling it like it is.
The Unnetted - Workers Have No Voice in the Process of Globalization
News and Society: Pure Opinion •
Where are you in the global economic arena? If you are not part of any network, you do not exist. Lech Walesa who was a leader in the Solidarity movement in Poland and which played a major part in the downfall of the Soviet Union, says - I am only a consumer and know nothing about business and economics but I do know something is very wrong when 10 percent of the population controls 100 percent of the wealth. Workers do not have a voice in the global economic arena and a global solidarity is needed to challenge the imbalances of Free Trade and Globalization.
Success is Reaching Social Security Age Before Declaring Bankruptcy
The American Dream has turned into a nightmare for the elderly generation. They were caught by surprise by a economic storm not of their making. They thought everything was under control until the rug was pulled out from under them.
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is a Must Read
I read The Age of Turbulence by Alan Greenspan at the same time I read the latest book about Mother Theresa who served the poorest of the poor in India. Prior to that I read The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman which is his own imaging of a flat world rather than any economic application. Freidman uses a language of "flatteners". I should have read The Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins first. I am still mulling over it. It is too real. It will take time to digest this much realism at one time. The race to the bottom has hit bottom.
Free Trade Has Only Made Matters Worst When It Comes To Illegal Immigration
As illegal immigration takes over as a top election issue, a Wall Street Journal- NBC News News poll reports - by nearly a two-to-one margin, Republican voters believe Free Trade is bad for the U.S. economy, a shift in opinion that mirrors Democratic views and suggests trade deals could face high hurdles under a new president. However, there still is another untold story behind this news.
Coming To America But Not Made In The USA - Honda, Toyota Are Coming And You're Paying The Toll
States are paying millions of dollars to get foreign auto assemblers to build their plants in the USA. Taxpayers are paying the toll. Find out how you are paying to lose your jobs with your tax money paying for foreign companies to build their assembly factories here with parts coming from the wage slave labor markets of the world. This is an example of what you get for your money. State of Indiana will end up paying about $150 million dollars for the Honda assembly plant... only 2,000 new assembly jobs will be created while 20,000 auto parts manufacturing jobs are lost. The new jobs will take years if ever to bring in a profit for the community as a whole. Most likely it will never make up for all the jobs that are lost.
Mr & Ms Potato Heads Are You Unnetted? Time To Get Your Ears, Eyes And Mouth Plugged In
Are you "unnetted"? Are you still outside looking in at the celebration of the Globalists. Turn on ABC, CNN, Fox or MSNBC and get with the news to fit all potato heads. They will put your eyes in, our ears on and your mouth on for you. Take your choice of what is left or right. They will guide you through the process. Democrat liberals go to your left and chant the political correct nonsensical phrases.
Back to the Future with the Clintons Following Bush Who Followed the Clintons etc
What you see is what you get the second time around. President Clinton consummated Free Trade following the elder Bush announcement of the New World Order. The Clintons did their thing and the younger Bush followed doing his thing following in Clintons footsteps. Now we are asked to return to the Clintons' Land of "is" where Globalization and Free Trade was consummated.
Adam Smith Held Labor As Something Sacred And The Core Of All Societies
Free Traders use Adam Smith theories to support their Free Trade ventures in a global "laissez-faire" economic arena. They say they want total free markets with governments off the back of business. However, our Federal Government is precisely the main entity directing the flow of trade and commerce. Fast Track has made the Executive Branch the CEO of world trade. Teddy Roosevelt said his worst fear for America is when government and big business join as one. This is what Free Trade is today and it makes a mockery of Free Enterprise and what Adam Smith believed in.
If You Lose Your Job, All You Have To Do Is Get Another One In Our "Wonderful" Economy
With our low unemployment rate, if you lose your job, all you have to do is get another one. Ann Landers made this statement in one of her columns and she later reported a massive retaliation of readers after she made this statement. She had one of the largest mail responses ever from the angry unemployed who were looking for jobs for months and even years without success. Apparently our low unemployment rate methods of reporting does not match up with the streets. People like Ann Landers found out about it the hard way.
Welcome Dysfunctional Globalists And Dislocated Workers With No Voice In The Process
Welcome Dysfunctional Globalists. Did you ever notice workers have no voice in the process of Globalization and Free Trade. History tells us what happens when this is the case. What we got now is Bush League wars, the Clintons Land of "is", a dysfunctional definition of most everything and cooked statistics during the most massive dislocation of workers in history. What we got here is the failure to communicate the issues. Here is something you should know about bankruptcy.
Flip Globalist Flat World over and see what you get in the Free Trader world.
It is really all about you in the economic global arena where anything goes. Dysfunctional Globalist Free Traders celebrate while workers are betrayed. We have Designer Free Trade that is not trade. Free Traders call it a Flat World as Thomas Friedman does from the New York Times. President Bill Clinton and a Democrat controlled Congress consumated Free Trade in the passing of the unfair NAFTA and GATT trade agreements. President Bush followed in Clinton's footsteps. During this time, the USA has gone through the most massive dislocation of workers in its history.
We Chopped Up The Golden Goose That Layed The Golden Eggs. Who Said We Had To Compete Like This?
Who said we had to compete in a global economic arena? The American Workers are the ones who really won World War 2 and the industrial success story of all of history followed. Through the Marshall Plan, we helped restored local value added economies in balanced geopolitical settings in Europe and Asia. We gave others the Golden Eggs from the Golden Goose to duplicate the American Dream but then someone said we all must compete against each other.
Upside Down Economy - Public Workers Taking Over Unions as Production Workers Fade Away
News and Society: Pure Opinion •
Many are still blaming the unions for all our economic problems. It is like beating a dead horse because private sector production union workers have been wiped out of the game. Public workers make up the major part of unions now.
Globalism Breeds False Crusades And Black Knights
News and Society: Pure Opinion •
Are we part of the New World Order that was announced by the elder President Bush? Has Globalization and Free Trade spread national interests across the globe in a new kind of economic Colonialism? Has this produced the Black Knights who come to protect these interests in a false Crusade in the name of the new "ism" of Globalism? It seems as if President Bill Clinton carried the water bucket for the elder Bush in pushing a New World Order based on Globalization, Free Trade and Raw Capitalism. Under President Bill Clinton, bloody pre-emptive wars were ignited in the Balkans. President Clinton went to war to stop ethnic cleansing and prompted the same thing with different victims. The Second Coming of the Bush family came causing more wars in the Middle East and now the Second Coming of the Clintons is here seemingly to push Globalization to the next level in a New World Order. It is really this or something else? If it is not, will someone tell us what it is or does it just depend on what your definition of "is", is.
