The majority of Americans are learning the hard way how to conserve
non-renewable resources, protect the environment, and to share the
wealth with others who are less fortunate. This is being done not by
altruism, but rather by default. The unholy alliance between the
super-rich, government, media and academia has given rise to ever
bigger demands being made by fringe elements and minorities, with ever
growing attempts to marginalize and disenfranchise the white majority.
The upshot of all this is that everyone is forced to settle for less in
terms of material goods and to cut down on unnecessary consumption
which is often detrimental anyway.
Globalization will
necessitate tougher economic and financial controls and regulations.
This is already happening with increased regulation of credit card
companies to protect debtors from unscrupulous, usurious lending
practices and perhaps also from identity theft.
Quality health
care is gradually being extended to all strata of society. For this to
work, government must wisely uphold an ethic based upon respect for all
human life to insure that medical services are not reduced to a mere
commodity to be sold to the highest bidder. The frustration and anger
over the proposed health care reforms is genuine. The majority of
working Americans are tired of subsidizing those who are not loyal
American citizens and those who refuse to work and are only interested
in tearing down the majority culture.
Our greatest challenge
is to uphold our true values of charity and justice against the
prevailing tide of selfishness and greed. This will require real reform
in knocking the self-proclaimed nabobs, gurus and elites off their
imaginary pedestals.
