"We have no
government armed with power capable of
contending with human passions unbridled by
morality and religion. Avarice, ambition,
revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest
cords of our Constitution as a whale goes
through a net. Our Constitution was made only
for a moral and religious people. It is wholly
inadequate to the government of any other." -- John Adams, Address to the Military, 1798 |

| On The Lost American Culture |
| Assimilation, being civilized, operating with civility, accepting responsibility...? Each has already vanished. Any remnants we might perceive day to day are only fragments. These fragments are being starved. They will soon decay and drop from the American culture. |
| The USA has allowed too many not worthy into the fabric of its culture. Then they have been promoted based upon expectations of assimilation and skill potentials. After decades, they have demonstrated their inability to be assimilated and their unworthiness for elevation. |
| Too many of today's not worthy are unable to live by rules, regulations, policies, procedures, or laws. |
| All the while Americans are self involved and distracted by computer games, sports, analysis of their anatomies, driving through red lights and texting in all lower case, that most do not understand what they have and that it is lost. |
| Never mind that too many parents failed to teach decency and American schools failed to teach literacy -- or even the three Rs. |

The
social media
phenomenon
is analogous to the
mid-1970s'
craze and
infatuation
with CB
radio. It passed
and is not notable except in this
context. But it is not likely that social media will waste away to nothing. However social media is only what it appears to be: A place for lonely, self-involved people to waste time. Social media will survive because there are myriads of lonely people with a lot of time to waste and each has easy access to numerous access points. |

Good. That means you've stood up for
something, sometime in your life." -- Winston Churchill |

| Learning | Culture | Expectations |
|
Some of the most valuable experience of
life is gained by being submersed
in prayer mode, excuse mode, and rationalizing why some
stock holding, while underwater
should, will, must go up. More is learned going through adversity than gaiety.

It is a cultural
thing: Ladies wear skirts and dresses. Gentlemen wear pants. Starting around 1970 ladies were given and grabbed the opportunity to wear pants for work and play. Gentlemen, in order to differentiate themselves, began wearing pants that were frayed, sloppy, and wrinkled. Today it is difficult, and often times impossible, to determine if an individual is male or female... although often the female walks like a boy and the male walks like a girl. Neither ladies nor gentlemen exist any longer. |
Today many people
expect housing valuations to hit bottom, start to rise, and,
not too long thereafter, surpass the record highs of 2007. These people fail to perceive why housing valuations rose steadily without little pause starting after WWII on through 2007. These people fail to understand that housing valuations were continuously artificially inflated starting in 1938 through the actions of Fannie (1938), Ginnie (1968), Freddie (1970), & the CRA (Community Reinvestment Act of 1977). Each served as government's artificial inflator of valuation. The first three of these institutions used cash recycling. The CRA used ownership mandates. All worked in concert to ignite housing valuations once the prosperity of the American Dream became reality in the 1950s. Only a person blind to history, human psychology, and economic forces could expect housing valuations to return to the artificial highs of 2007, let alone to surpass those inflated valuations. |

| The Ten Cannots |
| You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. You cannot establish security on borrowed money. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they will not do for themselves. |

| "I love
the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength
from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the
business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is
firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue
his principles unto death." Thomas Paine |
| "These are the
times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the
sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the
service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves
the love and thanks of man and woman." Thomas Paine |

|
| War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. |

| From within the safety and comfort of the USA, some people claim that capitalism, liberty, and individual freedom as implemented in the USA is harmful. If that is so, how is it that the USA built itself into the most productive, most economically successful, and most desirable homeland where millions of people want to live? |
