TIDBITS AND LOOSE ENDS

OUR COUNTRY IS DIVIDED-- HALF PRIVATE SECTOR AND HALF GOVERNMENT-- ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER--

WE ARE ALSO A TWO-PARTY SYSTEM-- ONE CANNOT DESTROY THE OTHER-- THEN WHAT WILL WE HAVE? WE CANNOT WIPE CLEAN THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ON THE BALLOT-- THEN WHAT WILL WE HAVE? NO GOVERNMENT AND NO DEMS?

WHEN THE PRIVATE SECTOR FAILS, WE HAVE GOVERNMENT. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT FAILS, WE HAVE THE PRIVATE SECTOR. HORSE AND CARRIAGE-- AND WHAT ABOUT NON-PROFITS WHERE PEOPLE COME FIRST. IT IS ABOUT PROFITS BUT DOES ONLY SERVICE TO THE FEW.

THE ECONOMY IS CREEPING ALONG FINALLY-- BUT THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN WE NOW HAVE FOR 5 DAYS AND COUNTING IS VERY UNTIMELY. AND, ICE IN CHICAGO HAS TO DO ITS TASK WITH SOME RESISTANCE-- YES WE MIGHT HAVE MINORITY FRIENDS OR FAMILY INVOLVED. SOME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE FRIENDS OR NEIGHBORS?

WHAT WE GET RID OF THE CARTEL WILL PICK UP-- ANOTHER PROBLEM UNSOLVED. PEOPLE NEED MORE OPPORTUNITY IN THE COMING MONTHS AS INDUSTRY SHIFTS-- WE ARE AT THE TAIL END OF AN ERA AND THE DAWN OF A NEW ONE. GIVING PEOPLE ANOTHER CHANCE FOR GROWTH AND NOT DECLINE. THERE IS HOPE ON THE HORIZON WITH NEW INDUSTRY..
