Dependency? Is that Empowerment?

IF IT PISSES YOU OFF, I WANT TO HEAR IT!

People get it done here!

I can easily remember a time in recent history when America was made up of proud individuals who had been coming to this country for centuries.

In fact, since just about the dawning of humankind people have been migrating to either North, Central, or South America. Get with me here folks this might get just a bit 'aloof" for some of you, but hey, we either are learning or think somehow we've already learned it all.

Case in point gang: On the eastern seaboard of the United States of America, say from northern Massachusetts to the southern coastal areas of Florida more than 300 different Iroquois tribes or 'clans' banded together to form the Iroquois Federation.

The indigenous people of the America's are brown, black, yellow, red, pink, or Heinz 57 for that matter. Yet, one thing is for certain, research is showing quite clearly now that this generation of Americans will be the first generation of people who will not exceed or contribute as much as previous generations of Americans did.

What does all of this mean? In the simplest of terms, the immigrants who came in each of the succeeding waves from northern Europe, western Europe then the eastern and southern Europeans all felt as though they had to perform. They had far too much pride and dignity to let any person out perform them; albeit, their neighbor, co-worker, boss, even their own family members!

First they are proud people; second, they are competitive and respectful people; third, most of the immigrants that came in those waves wanted to become Americans! There was no such beast as the hyphen anywhere to be found in their names, that was blasphamous! We are Americans!


One must remember that these folks forged this nation into what it used to be. It hurts to say that but when I witness 'emergency summits' with OPEC to produce more oil for our consumption it makes me want to puke!
You see ladies and gentlemen, there was a time in America's history when we, as a Nation, had far too much pride and dignity, most of all integrity, to be enslaved by any mineral, regime, dictator, or nuclear weapon. To see that the main issues of today are how the Saudi's are going to increase output for our demand isn't quite that accuate.

One must remember that by 2020 the earth's population should reach 7 billion people! Now we all should know that at least 60 percent of those people are in India and China, perhaps the most industrializing nations today. In other words their demand is higher than America's is BUT that nonetheless does not make it even acceptable to be enslaved to oil or automobile industries, or any other tangiable items.

Let's get some integrity back!
