Happy Days? Sending a battalion of plumbers...
Appreciate what you have and make it and you grow. An exceptional nation grows from expanding the special deeds making ability of its people, which then grows a more involved, smarter, and bigger middle class at home and abroad. It's just what America, and most nations need, amidst today's blabbering-media, post-bubble, trickle-down societies.

My best reading and thinking is often done on my bathroom throne.

On Thanksgiving Day evening, after Ciprofloxacin had stuffed away the diarrhea, I was back to my sanitary throne after weeks of a poneering Habitat for Humanity Latrine Building Project in the overwhelming slums of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The filthy, hard work and wonderful people will remain etched in my memory. But, as often happens, those poignant experiences made me wonder about the bigger picture as, like so many Americans, I looked down from my seat of power.

When we were by far the strongest economy in the world, some power-that-be scared many Americans about dominoes falling. It was an era when our enemies couldn't splurge enough to buy a dozen domino game sets. So we wasted $698 billion (inflation adjusted), lost over 58,000 Americans, left about 2 million Vietnamese civilians and about 1.25 million Vietnamese soldiers dead -- to stop those scary dominoes from falling.

We learned so much from our Vietnam disaster, we blew $4 trillion trumping-up an Iraq War where about 300,000 Iraqis died, because our public policy knowledge had been dumbed-down to the depth of a melted popsicle stick.

Raping Taxpayers for 50+ years - and it's becoming easier
(1 comments) This is a taxing piece about the economic warfare between and among the Morgans, Buffets, and the rest of us. "If the government cannot collect its taxes, a man is a fool to pay them." J. Pierpont Morgan. "There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning." Warren Buffett. And it has a lot to do with hypnotizing uninvovled Americans into buying Voodoo Economics.

Growing Habitat, AmeriCorps, etc. for today and tomorrows' New Orleans

This piece, based on doing some 2010 New Orleans Habitat work, is intended to help improve both Habitat and AmeriCorps, tying its lessons into the need to implement People's Lobby's American World Service Corps (AWSC) Congressional Proposals.

PCV service taught some of us that too many Americans have not had the searing experiences that might lead them to use our short earthy sojourn to pile up graces via practicing empathetic responses to crying needs.

If we had cost effective teams that reduced the need and desire to war, wouldn't it be smart to expand them?

Reading excellent books, however, is not enough. American and world citizens must do more than read, write, and express disdain about the state of community and world. They need to serve in correcting what is wrong with the state of community and world, which is why People's Lobby's American World Service Corps (AWSC) Congressional Proposals should be the action part of insuring that Life Rules humanely.
