The Beatles "Get Back"

We are watching the new Beatles piece and I was reminded of the “Jesus” controversy. What is incredible is those are the same assholes we are fighting today.

A broken country

If someone had told me 50 years ago that people would not get a vaccine because of politics I would not have believed it. America as a nation has lost its way. During WW2 people did everything for the war and the nation. They put up with rationing and all sorts of sacrifices. Fast forward 80 years and America has become a nation of spoiled brats. This all started with Reagan when he promoted the individual above the good of the society and we now see it in so many ways. I am in high tech and when I see the disregard for society exhibited by some in high tech and I shake my head. We have a fundamental misunderstanding of freedom in this country. Few have ever studied this concept in college. Typically, it is a part of political science.
One party is pandering to the least educated. Our political system is showing its age. It does not represent the majority at all anymore and we are being governed by the minority. No society will continue to function when the least educated governs. It can be a blend of all the people but one segment governing is a disaster. The ideas of the future does not come from rural America. It comes from the most educated.
This is our most perilous time since the civil war.

Newt

I saw Newt commenting on Chris Hayes last night on the 1619 project. He said it was not important to anyone but African Americans. Newt is the last if the old time segregationist. He attended a segregated high school.
