Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

More Is Needed

By now it should be apparent that merely electing a new President has not heralded a new Renaissance in America. Even though the various "stimulus" programs and shifts in policy are welcome, something yet seems amiss. What is missing, in short, is a revision of the core way of doing business, called variously the profit system or capitalism. While this unjust system remains in place, the various efforts at stimulation will produce only marginal results. (And as I have said, what is seen as an alternative is not communism or state socialism.)

This post must be short, but I believe evidence for these statements have already been presented numerous times, and continue to be presented in the daily newspaper. Nevertheless, I shall endeavor in coming days to further bolster these bold assertions.
