Where Is the Love?

6. I'll tell you why...

It's because many (most?) Americans have been reduced to scraping for subsistence. Political philosophy, and the "Golden Rule" have little to do with day to day existence when your mortgage is behind. When your company announces layoffs. And when your family is sick.

I'm not talking about the wisdom or level of enlightenment required to see the advantage in team effort. Or the morality of the sense of humanity needed to care about others around you.

Those with neither the mental capacity for abstract/extended thought, nor the ability to see beyond the bill of goods they've been sold through American advertising, are trying to make it in a bad situation.

While slanted media outlets point to an ideologically based collection of bullshit to make enlightenment an even more remote possibility.

I'm up for solutions, but the self-aimed gun at the head of many of what used to be the middle class of America, is firmly pointed, and blindly cocked.
