As in the song "Lawyers In Love" we have a land, a nation with too many in high places willing to do anything for money neglecting people, honor and principle but a change is coming. No more falling for the lie of living only individualistic and independent lives leaving us divided and conquerable by powerful special interests but a people, a nation collaborating for the greater common good in various groups all across the nation. A land of people working together to help one another with a vision moreover as Jesus would have us be. Love, Mercy, Forgiveness, Kindness....something about another Land. The change is coming

Our American Standard? Hypocrisy or Justice For The Entreprenuer

They love to say it's capitalism when the worker loses his job or loses it because it was sent overseas but when someone invents a better idea in the marketplace, is it capitalism for the big corporation with the lesser idea to go by the wayside? Does it work that way? When that happens the big corporation is allowed to engage in corrupt practices or buy off congressman to pass legislation to block or even destroy the entreprenuer with the better idea. From the case of the automobile entrepreneur Preston Tucker to the present case of blocking development of the electric car. No, capitalism does not apply to the big corporations or to the powerful, this dog eat dog fundamental principle of capitalism of which the powerful love to preach to the working man so love to apply it only to the working man. Oh they love to warm up to this cyclical turnover principle of capitalism when the working man is complaining of losing his job to those who take less wages in other countries as they tell you to tough it out and explain thats just the way it is with capitalism. But when any corporation of size is threatened with a better idea from a new or smaller competitor there is suddenly and conveniently no such principle of capitalism.

But it's not really about any principle of capitalism is it? It's about the working person, the less powerful person, the less monied person doing what the powerful person or corporation demands, period, where no rules, no principles apply. It's about the powerful controlling the game without honor, without integrity or the honesty to abide by the principle of what they themselves so solemnly preach to the common person. It is the hyprocrisy that just poisons this country and it's spirit of entreprenurialship where even the little guy is supposed to be able to apply his intellect, his imagination and with a better product that is potentially better preferred by the people to compete and come out on top.

So what happens? They snuff him out. So what do you do? You demand honesty and integrity in government. You demand honor that can be backed up by rules and laws, lobbying rules and laws for starters. You know what to do. Our rejected republican congress and administration embodied this hypocrisy, this corrupt levitation of the powerful. Capitalism and free enterprise can work justly, this government heretofore has just not had the character to make it work as such. We are all still here, tommorow still exists, there is still another morning, there is still another day. That's why it was invented you know,... to begin again.
