"I know the system will work if we make it work but it will take great effort from many."
I felt a chill in the early 90's when Bush I (George II to Democrats and that means W is George III not a favorite among Americans) said that there would be soon a "New World Order". . He did not specify but I recall hearing that phrase only once before and that was from an Austrian with a little black moustache. People like me, the first in my family to ever go to college, won't exist in the future because they won't have a chance to go to college. And those who do won't be able to get jobs except at Walmart et al. Note the paternalism of Walmart type stores- you can't marry a fellow employee- and the hidden mikes and cameras which are as much there for employee surveillance as for customer theft control. After a generation or two there will be no educated middle class to ask the hard questions, who came up from the poor to see the light of day without the attenuation of social vision suffered by those born into privilege.
I think that sort of thing is the New World Order the Bush clan is working rapidly toward. Once those of us educated but not wealthy who can ask the hard questions are gone our children will be to burdened with three jobs and a small apartment and no health insurance and children going to private charter schools. they will have no time or energy or confidence to ask the hard questions in a hard scrabble Walmart governed existence. No dictator likes the middle class. They ask too many questions!
The American Revolution was kindled by the Middle Class -- merchants, lawyers like John Adams, and entrepreneurs like Franklin and Nathaniel Hale, the teacher turned spy. Maybe history does repeat itself more than we think. I know the system will work if we make it work but it will take great effort from many.
