If the grassroots efforts that backed Obama continues to do work to bring change on the grassroots level, it will be the leveling element to hate groups.

When good happens, anyone against it looks like —-…And stands out…

Well, there are many views of what WWII did to the economy. I prefer Dr. Robbie Batra’s version that the economy was recovering well UNTIL we went into the war. It just depends on the #’s you look at; esp GDP. Because the people definitely were worse off during the war with rationing and long war assembly hours.

The CONSUMER economy didn’t pick up until again until after the war when all our $$ wasn’t being blown up overseas like it is now too.

This is the war profiteers paradigm, not the actual one for actual people.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children….This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from an iron cross.”

Off to swim in the great ~~capitalist~~ wild west robber baron cesspool. (Thanks to the ever lovely Naomi Klein for the redefinition) “Scene of the trillion dollar crime, the 700 billion stick-up.”

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Namaste
