The Real New Deal

When our country started out the forefathers did the best they could to set us up for success. They could not possibly foresee the path our country has taken over the years. With that said, they, like us, made some mistakes. How we handle those mistakes are the key to ensuring our future as a world leader in the pursuit of happiness and what is known as the "American Dream". Basically what I am saying is we need to admit we made a mistake and fix it the best we can so that everyone involved can move forward.
Our forefathers did not believe as we do today that slavery was a sin and wrong from any standpoint. When we realized our mistake we attempted to correct it and make up for our wrongs the best way we knew how. Well as we say "hind sight is 20/20". We screwed up in a big way.
Back during the time when men worked hard for their employers and employers worked hard for their people things were as they should be. We always had a scar on our nation over slavery. We knew it was wrong, but no one had any idea how to fix it. We opted to act out of shame and guilt. We gave people something they did not earn to make up for the wrongs we had done to them. While it seemed good to both parties at the time is was disaster in the making. One cannot fully understand the value of a possession without earning it themselves. It is like when well to do parents give their newly of aged teenager a very expensive car and expect them to drive it responsibly and take good care of that over-priced car. Most of us know from experience that this is not the case. You can only truly understand what you create; not what is given to you or taken from others. Only then can you understand the blood, sweat, and tears that went into building anything worth having. Just ask the Amish. They can tell you a thing or two about that. When it is time, all things needed are created by God through men and are to be used by all mankind to further our species together as one to explore our universe and display the true nature of man. Surely God or any other species for that matter, cannot allow us to encroach on other faraway lands when we simply destroy ourselves over and over again. I say enough is enough. Let’s call it what it is and stop hiding behind false promises and old wounds. Together we can heal our past and right our wrongs. Together we will overcome the evil that is facing us today. Only together will we prevail (and in this I mean the entire world not just the U.S.)… I challenge anyone reading this to get off your back sides and own up to your transgressions. Own your cultures and celebrate our differences like well portioned spices in a fine meal. Do not listen to the propaganda filling our ears everyday with the energy God gave us being used to spread this tragedy. Only then can we return to the course we left that was started by our great founders. People of the earth it is time to stand up and take your place as the brightest species earth has to offer the universe for if we cannot I assure you God, Allah, Buddha or Mother Nature, whatever you want to call it, will wipe us clean and try again. The people that need this knowledge already possess it and will come together in due time to allow us to proceed to the next step but first we must do has God has always asked and atone for our sins against one another and against Him. Trust me I know because he made me write this.
