One felon’s ear nicked

eejoseph

If failure is written all over the wounding of a felonious American and must be laid at the door of the Secret Service what shall we write over the murder of dozens of children in their classrooms, and what shall we write over the mass murder of scores of ordinary citizens, and at whose door must we lay those homicides? “Serve and project” has expired as an American value.

Train a generation that has the presence of mind to bridge the gap between old and new

eejoseph,

What would you change about modern society?

The current  dilemmas in the United States, Bangladesh, Canada, and all across the Caribbean and in every religious republic put a spotlight on generational conflict and widespread lunacy.  Who would ever have thought that a party in the United States would think that people would believe the good old days were something to bring back?  It is a sheer sign of intellectual twilight that old people want to cling to the things their ancestors cherished and ignore the fact that the young people in every generation are the seedbed for visions of the common good.  The common good and collective security will end the fantasy of phony cosmopolitanism and the parade of faceless cultural identities hoping to be the dominant strain in the seats of power.   Both the mosaic and melting pot concepts have not delivered a safe society.  Now that Nazism, fascism and justifiable xenophobia are all vying for a spot at the table a dramatic turn is in order.  Traditional politics and even First Nations wisdom are falling short.  An end to the fragmentation of national governance seems to be the way out of our decline.
