Michael's plan to restore America's Dream
That dream is the reason America is here. Its calling is to be the example of how things are done right, for other Nations to follow. That will never come from the barrel of a gun or an F-16 Fighters sent to Israel. We need to mind our own business overseas, by taking care of the states of confusion, we all at the LittleTON VFW call the same trash different day. Bring all the Soldiers Home. Dock all the Navy ships and paint them like colorful flowers. Why, if over 2 decades ago we were told we won the cold war, does the Nuclear Bomb still exist? Over a $100 million a day in upkeep costs could be much better spent on Butter and Bread.
Number 2: let's get people who have solutions to offer on the TV, instead of the slime oozing across our living room floors. At least we have Cyberspace now to attack the corporate owned Media, our founders could not have seen coming. I'll go as far as to see proper repentance by them, to use the TV profits to help run the Cities they have got rich by, while destroying its Society. The violent deaths will continue until we have all had enough of reaping what Corporate Empire has sown.
Some of those solutions those with insight will be offering are Public City or State Banking, funded by the trash cash we don't send to the dc machine. Yes, we will still send SS & Medicare, but we will defend ourselves with our National Guard. (I did 4 year part time, leaving my 1st IBEW Foreman's Job at 24. I say that was from listening to too many commercials in the 80s while only wanting to play pool as my 2rd job and commute for another 40+ hour job spending money to play the best in New England. It's not now like it used to be.)
Those Public Banks can be part of funding Worker Owned Cooperatives. Union Pensions could even pitch in for that. Hell, if we have a good sustainable model, why not even let SS invest in it? That would be better than giving Wall Street profiting even more off the backs of the people. Mondragon in the Basque Provence of Spain owns its own Bank, which reinvests in itself. And a Collage which trains its worker owners, who all have a vote it how the Coop (for profit) Business is run. Its Ceos earn mainly 5 times what the rank and file earn. It's a $23 Billion a year business. Am proud to be 25% Basque from my Mom's Dad James Cheverie (my middle name) was French Basque.)

I see a bright future ahead for those Coops when Farmers can grow hemp for the paper, plastics cloths and among many other things, biofuel we can produce from Hemp. I see that helping construction workers building all the new local plants.
And we really should to mind our own business on abortions, what people do in their own bedrooms, etc. But we need to remove the stumbling blocks whose fruits are the violent crimes in our cities. It was the Lamb 2000 years ago spoke these paraphrased words, "Woe to those from who the stumbling blocks come who cause the little ones to stumble by doing things they would not normally do, if not living in this pressure cooker of the USA.
I agree with Marty Stuart when he sings in Badlands, "I hear voices in the wind telling me the 2rd coming of the Red Man is closer than it's ever been." As Marty says Crazy Horse said on the same record, "I see a time of 7 Generations when all of the colors of mankind will sit under the sacred tree of life, and the world will become one circle again. And I mean Again!
Here is a Marty Stuart 3 Chiefs video off of Badlands where Red Cloud, Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse speak their last words on the edge of eternity to talking to the master, whoever he is, up above. Red Man's justice will come when all have enough, and we live one with Mother Earth.
I see a lot of Rock and Roll vision which goes along with the Natives: things about smiling on your brother everybody getting together and maybe I'll be there with you when we share the land. At this point in times like these, it will take some screws being loosened at the top so each Community can take care of itself.
