I consider it the highest compliment when my employees go out and start their own companies in competition with me. I always send them a plant to wish them well. Of course, it’s a cactus.NormanBrodskyNorman Brodsky, founder and CEO of Perfect Courier

The loss or curtailing of many of our constitutionally granted freedoms in the name of security is frightening. The use of security as a straw man to divert attention from the growth of the military industrial complex has been quite effective. I do think that the American people are becoming more vocal in their opposition to the unilateral action that has defined the current president’s policies. I believe that dissension is the cornerstone of effective representative government that prevents people from serving the government rather than the government serving its people. If the freedom to dissent is threatened through implied retribution due to loss of privacy, then a fundamental tool of representative government has been allowed to purposely rust to the point of ineffectiveness in artificial elements. Freedom, though not free, is an inherent right that neither man nor fear should be able to take. Freedom, though not free, can not be attained at the loss of itself.

Comment on Hypocrisy, Deceit and Greed of Oil Companies on Display in Congress by jessie

My response to this post is . . . . . A M E N ! ! I suppose I am a conservative Democrat which can be a many “splintered” thing.

Just when I think my Democratic Party is in concert, I hear somebody out of tune. I despise the subliminal messages sent out to further confuse the already confused. We are not only two Americas, we are many parties with attitudes. The name of the game, as you have pointed out, is to win at all cost; i.e. power and profits.

We have become a country of Lies, greed, hardness of heart, theft, murder, etc., which must make Satan smile every morning. What I am about to say, coming from an 80-year-old white woman, will probably shock you. But, Reverend Wright is quoting from the Bible that I know when he says that the people whom we have put in power are wicked thus making America subject to Jehovah God’s CON DEMN ATION if we continue on the present path of things.

My mother never allowed the word ‘damn’ to be used in her house as she perceived it as a prayer for God’s action of total condemnation which we accepted as the dire action that it is. Remember Sodom & Gormorah, the great flood, the fig tree, the gourd vine under which Jonah took refuge from the broiling sun, the Jewish nation scattered to the four corners of the earth?

Must we tempt our Maker to the point of our own destruction? The sad part is the fact the innocent must suffer along with the guilty. I pray for the tender mercy of God to be with those of us who may still have mercy and kindness in our own hearts. Amen.

As for the economy, when the money winds up in the hands of the few, the masses are done. It is the flow of the money that makes our world go round. To further complicate our plight, it is now a world economy with which we must reckon. Now, it will be the country in whose hands the bulk of wealth lies that will own the rest of us.

This epistle simply proves to me again that “I’m too soon old and too late wise.” I don’t know the author of this line, but he, too, had reached a place of maturity.

Thank you for allowing me to share with you . . . .if, indeed, you have.
