If we want to be seriously realistic, I think we should be saying this to each other. Yes, the U.S. is unsuccessful. Really. Once we can own up to this reality, we can chart a path to proper and effective solutions. Until then, the slide to total depravity that we are suffering these days will continue until failure is exceptional, as all national failures are exceptional. Shall we join Greece and Rome in the list of exceptional failures of the eons? Let's be man enough to get our heads out of the sand and own up our unsuccessfulness so that we can get on with success. Please. mao _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
