The Red Brick Times

Man, armed with microphone and camera, wanders through Taxpayer March On Washington, interviewing crowd members on different issues. So cringe worthy, you'll dislocate your shoulders.

Wondering if what we REALLY need is a 'Political Darwin Award'.

Preamble to the Constitution:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Five goals:
1) Establish Justice
2) Insure domestic Tranquility
3) Provide for the common defense
4) Promote the general Welfare
5) Secure the Blessing of Liberty

Universal unbiased Fairness, Peace at Home, Security and Sovereignty, Shared Prosperity, Freedom from Tyranny. Simple wishes that are complex to support.

What troubles me is the rejection of the 4th tenet. But worse the ignorance among so many that the committment is embedded in our foundation.

"We, the people ..." has become distorted to "Me first, to hell with the rest".

It is what saddens me most.
