Our self inflicted wounds (#1472)

We are hurting ourselves because we won't stop hurting ourselves. We allow the cause of the hurt to continue while not addressing the pain and damage that ensues. We have problems here in our country and we are not addressing them. Institutionally, we are broken and the will to change that is rebuffed by those who are obstructing change. There is no loyalty to pain and suffering quite like what we have here in America. Certainly, in other countries around the world pain and suffering are being administered on different scales worse in actual human suffering than ours, but we have already moved beyond where those other countries are still battling for human rights, yet we seem to have a class of individuals who want to fight the hard won victories of our past in order to lessen them. How is it we allow that class of people to get away with holding onto power? That class of people is stealing form our brave forefathers/mothers who died in the course of bringing us those rights. I am utterly, and I mean utterly disgusted with that class of people who for no other reason than bigotry and greed have infiltrated our power structure and are destroying with decay our foundational principles. They have conjured up a smokescreen of prejudices in order to mask their goal of unfettered wealth for only those who are willing to steal it from our hard fought American heritage. As a result of their ability to power and wealth grab, our schools are less able to prepare our citizens with individual critical thinking which is so desperately needed in the 21st century and instead creates an underclass of individuals who are lead by propagandists instead of being leaders themselves. This truly is a moment in time for that despicable class of illogically principled carpetbaggers be given the boot out of power they should never have held.
