inside out

Is it too late to say your sad America? When Ben Franklin explained the question of what kind of government was created, his answer was "a republic, if you can keep it". Deep, yes, and yet all the evidence suggests today that we have lost sight of what Ben Franklin said. When the government becomes selfishly counterproductive for the good of all, it ceases to be democratic. And as Ben Franklin said more than 250 years ago, "If you can keep it," our government has lost democracy over the past six decades.

The challenges we face now seem almost insurmountable. Today we have a government run by selfish bureaucrats, such a divided nation and a society that is no longer the middle class. Is it any wonder that many think that America has really lost the way? We remembered a time when a cup of coffee was worth a penny and where the pride we had in keeping our sidewalks clear was as before. If you look around you will find that the cup of coffee in many places costs more than $ 3.00, and our sidewalks are, if you have more, like obstacle courses strewn with garbage.

Let us remember a time when the promise of fidelity was made before the beginning of each school day. This too has been surpassed and even ostracized. Today, it is as if we were deprived of the salutary goodness that was the norm 60 years ago. Many of us, the baby boomers, have now stolen their retirement pensions
our fathers had We are now struggling with the rising cost of living and the only safety net left. But our own government is determined to suppress it as well. So many of us are no longer able to keep up with the rising costs of health care and all the other costs required to survive our old age.

What can we say, if you have elected officials who make decisions that affect us all, do not realize the consequences of those decisions or are unaware of reality, this policy has aggravated the situation, it is time to realize that the states doing so has really come back People have been seeing disturbing trends in government for many years. The will of the people has long since fallen on deaf ears. And maybe they'll listen, we've become incoherent, which the government is doing to the public. We may be desensitized or too apathetic to really see or worry if government policy does not affect us. But all too often, what comes out of Washington has a negative impact.

When the world gets out of control, it does not help that this provocative rhetoric comes from the Trump administration. Whether in North Korea or in our own media, many of us have realized how much we have fallen out of favor with the rest of the world. They say that there is no going back. We have to go on. But with the impetus given by the Republicans and the Trump government, it is as if we are backing away.

The truth about lies in politics

The truth about lies in politics Recently, I have heard someone say that once we believe in a belief or a philosophy, our objectivity decreases badly. We no longer try to discern whether something we read or hear is true and correct, we simply accept any information that corroborates our belief. This can be seen in the policy. Unfortunately, it seems a common practice for politicians and members of Congress to put themselves first, to play political parties, to accept money from lobbyists and big donors in exchange for their votes, while showing little concern for things that are good for our country and taxpayers. When these politicians are set up, try to answer difficult questions or get something wrong or illegal, which is rarely responsible. For too many politicians, the lie seems to be second nature. The main supporters of many politicians hasten to accept the political leader's assertions as the truth and go forward even when the claim is clearly false. Nowadays, it s...

New policies required for public discussion

New policies required for public discussion It does not matter if someone is a passionate supporter of President Trump or who can not agree with him on almost every problem or question, most would agree. We are currently experiencing very different moments in many ways. as just recently! The purpose of this article is not to support anyone, but to try to make America civil again so that Americans start talking to each other instead of meeting each other. We have had periods of considerable political discourse and disagreement, such as the civil rights parades of the 1950s and early 1960s, murders (especially of the 1960s), the anti-war movement of the 1960s, etc. ., presidential candidates, out of the United States, the political norm (as Goldwater and Wallace in the 1960s), the drama of the Nixon era, the Iranian Hostage crisis at the Carter era, the Russian antagonism in the Reagan era, the Clinton issues and the terror controversies of September 11 and the ugliness of racism, whic...

The media: Do traditional media use slander to control people?

The media: Do traditional media use slander to control people? Before the advent of alternative media, the mainstream media had almost all the control. This meant that it was normal for most people to believe just about anything this source had published. Nowadays, thanks to the alternative media, this source no longer has the same control as in the past. But, while their influence on people has diminished in recent years, it would be a mistake to believe that its source is in danger. Old habits die hard รข € People of all ages are attentive to the mainstream media, just as there are some who are not. What has definitely given life a lifeline is the ease with which a person can consume what they sell using modern technology. As long as someone has a type of device, he can download everything this source says, no matter where it is. It is not necessary for someone to watch television or listen to the radio because it would have been necessary in the past to collect informati...
