Thanks for posting. I was also struck by the expressions on the faces of those listening.

Controversy about the Federal Reserve Act and the establishment of the Federal Reserve System has existed since prior to its passage. Some of the questions raised include: whether Congress has the Constitutional power to delegate its power to coin money or issue paper money, why it was passed on December 23 while most of Congress was away for Christmas, whether the Federal Reserve is a public cartel of private banks (also called a banking cartel) established to protect powerful financial interests, and whether the Federal Reserve's actions increased the severity of the Great Depression in the 1930s (and/or the severity or frequency of other boom-bust economic cycles, such as the Late-2000s recession).

do you think we should just go on standing behind drawn lines throwing rocks at each other? or is there something that actually we all have in common?

do you seriously think that all it needs is for a new president to be elected and everything will be fine and dandy? don't you think there are some fundamental issues here that transcend personalities?

whether he is trying to destroy it is not really within your ability to know. he is only one man.

Pledge of Consistancy

Scool-wide or class by
class, it's a daily ritual

Pledge of Allegiance

I pledge allegiance
to the flag of the
United States
of America,
and to the republic
for which it stands,
one nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty
and justice for all.

The words, adopted by Congress
in 1942, must be a part of
every New Hampshire school
day, according to the School
Patriot Act, a state law
passed in 2002 following the
9/11 terror attacks. It
requires schools to set aside
time for the pledge. Students
who choose not to participate
may stand silently or remain
seated.

Our human-ness.
Our humanity.

Often remaining unexpressed.

I was reading an essay with a similar view this A.M. by a writer who is a hundred times more proficient at getting my point across.... I will lazily paste it here->

by Judith Gayle:

There is a basic and decisive difference between the way a conservative and a progressive see the world. Let me give it to you, short form: conservatives are all about property rights while progressives value human rights. It comes down to people vs. property. Heart vs. head (wallet.) The founders would have understood these differences, which are neither Republican nor Democrat but older and more defining of consciousness than of politics. This is the difference between Jeffersonian politics designed to aid and protect the commonwealth and Federalism’s defense of states’ rights and the might of privilege (property owners.)

in full. here.

Our ability to see our sameness, as opposed to our differences appears to have been lost.

In times of crisis we [americans] need a bad guy, a finger pointed everywhere but at ourselves. We each share blame for our current troubles.

i would add that we probably all would like to see HONESTY in government whether or not we agree what methods should be used to govern.

we would like less INTERFERENCE in our daily lives and businesses, and more FAIRNESS in the way justice is practiced.

what else?

as for obama, he works for all of us. so "getting rid of him" is not really the solution, is it? the other branches are largely working against him, so how anyone can blame him as if he were the sultan of brunei is beyond me.
