I'm not sure what to make of the last response to my post. What gods is he/her talking about? The great thing about America is everyone can express their opinions. Now, moving on.
Last night we had Washington's version of the horse and pony show. I thought the President did a great job by really saying nothing. The house was full, everyone sitting next to someone of the other party. The only thing they didn;'t do was to kiss and sing kumbaya. It was truly a Ronald Reagan type atmosphere. When the speech was over, they shook hands, and hugged and smiled for the camera's. It was so touching it brought a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat. This will go down as one of the greatest wasted speeches of our time. We are going to have a new government, a new way of doing business, and finally peace and harmony..............
Now that the speech is over, the Republican rebuttal started the old business again. A smiling conservative from Wisconsin took the first shot, then the commentator all gave their interpretation of the speech, then the liberal defended the attack because the weren't ready for it. The night, or hour of harmony was over.
The computer, or technology age has made the rich richer, and the poor poorer. It has made the thieves more advanced and has separated the classes. We thru technology have made everything more complicated. We need to simplify, not complicate. Gene Roddenberry's futuristic Star Trek had the technological age so advanced that money was not needed, machine did all the work assisted by computers. Man could use his time improving himself and those around him. Sorry Gene, Computers and technology are a means to an end, and that end is profit and greed. If we truely wanted to educate everyone, all schooling thru college would be offered for free. The first allocations would go to education and health, but there is no profit in that.
The only thing of value the President said last night, was that he would veto and bill that had ear marks. Why not just give the President a line item veto and not waste time sending bill to the President that are laden down with pork? Want to cut the deficit, cut the pork. It is that easy.
