| R W Posner's article, noted at Buzz Flash and posted at politicalcortex, elicits emotions of "kaput" and "ersatz" experienced between 1st & 2nd WWs. Only this time fingers are not pointed toward Germany. Broken and synthetic as the US is, please don't come back with comments to me as though you think I've given up hope. The piece is good writing, evocative. There are ideas to ponder. |

Margaret Bassett passed away August 21, 2011. She was a treasured member of the Opednews.com editorial team for four years.
Margaret Bassett--OEN editor--is an 89-year old, currently living in senior housing, with a lifelong interest in political philosophy. Bachelors from State University of Iowa (1944) and Masters from Roosevelt University (1975) help to unravel important requirements for modern communication. Early introduction to computer science (1966) trumps them. It's payback time. She's been "entitled" so long she hopes to find some good coming off the keyboard into the lives of those who come after her.
