SHARE Friday, April 4, 2008 Killing the Goose: A Fait Accompli
You don't kill that proverbial goose if you want any more golden eggs. This time, the middle class can't come back because there is no industrial base, no consumer economy to keep it going. Those Americans have joined the struggling masses to await their fate in the next chapter of American history.

SHARE Monday, December 10, 2007 Forget the Tapes!
Artful deception from Bush/Cheney still hitting on all cylinders without Karl Rove around. If they aren't incredibley lucky, they are very very good, for by revealing the destruction of torture tapes, they ducked public debate on an impeachable offense: trumping up another war.

Eat your heart out Tom Brokaw. You have already done your stuff about your generation and it was your Dad's. This excerpt from "Little Rivers" concentrates on that time warp called the 'Sixties. At one point, Jan. 30, 1968, it seemed like time reversed and random chaos became the rule and even then, there was a lot more going on than anybody knew...
