What do they know about the needs of the majority? A bunch of entitled rich old white men with free health insurance and mega benefits making decisions which affect the majority of us-women, children, Hispanic , Black and Asian descent?

Incongruent Township, Defining Justice as Intolerance
The national landscape is fettered with little towns comprised of citizens with value systems out of the 1900's.
They are outraged with government spending. They believe we should all honor our debts. They believe in hard work, honesty and a days pay for an days work.
If only local, state and federal government practiced the same way.
If only banks, businesses, Wall Street and major corporations played by the same rules.
The town of Incongruence believes God will smite those who do not pay their debts-
oh! yeah - it doesn't count if you are a major corporation or a business owner.
The citizens of Incongruence would define themselves as "christians"
-you know, the ones who believe God chooses who goes to Heavan, and it isn't you my black, muslim, jewish, islamic, hindu neighbor
Home grown Incongruents believe more "christianity" should be in the schools, the government and on our money.
They send money to Haiti but allow the poor in their hometowns to live without electricity . They still have poor neighborhoods full of black, unemployed men (they consider them lazy, when in reality the unemployment rate for black men is double the national rate), yet they send "missions to poor countries".
Hang the poor- if they worked harder they would not be poor.
Incongruents believe poverty is chosen.
They believe their wealth is a gift, a reward, perhaps, from God, for doing the "right thing"
And last but most important?
Incongruents believe abortion is murder.
Abortion is murder, but having a child out of wedlock is a sin and should be punished.
For all you women who chose birth rather than abortion, you are to be commended-
but once you have that child-you are a whore-
Incongruent citizens will turn their backs on you and ensure you suffer like the slut you are..along with your bastard child.
Incongruent townships dot the USA like McDonalds.
Are they any different than the close minded, intolerant religious fanatics of other nations?
Incongruents believe the poor deserve to be poor. If they

Step Up to the Plate, States-if the Feds can't do it..
We aren't totally helpless in this morass created by our federal government. Their lack of cohesion, paralysis created by both parties, bickering, posturing and pontificating can be and should be overridden by individual states.
New Mexico's idea of moving money out of big banks and placing it in community banks and credit unions is a step in the right direction. Other states have provided health care for residents. Others have worked to create jobs for its citizens.
If the Federal Government and our legislators are so over run by lobbyists, so polarized , and so weak they are unwilling to take a stand on any issue, states need to step up to the plate. Democracy in the United States was created with many levels to provide autonomy and opportunity.
Let's seek alternative methods to deal with credit ripoffs, bank monopolies, price fixing and job loss.
States can do it. Show courage-United States of America.
Don't let your citizens down.
Seek out your best and brightest to solve these issues.

American Anger-the Two Year Old's Temper Tantrum
When Americans get angry they get destructive. Like two year olds we stomp our feet and break our toys. We don't much care what destruction we leave behind, we want what we want and we want it now!
Perhaps we weathered the great depression with greater aplomb as a younger country because we had the experience of citizens from other countries. Other countries with hundreds and sometimes thousands of years of experience as civilizations. Civilizations which learned hard lessons, some disappearing from this planet because they refused to listen, learn from mistakes, or considered themselves "too big to fail"
Our government is on a quest to destroy the very fabric of democracy built over the baby years we have been in business. We are babies compared to France, Spain, England and Italy. All major power players on this planet at various times.
Perhaps the wisdom of experiences and the lessons which can be learned by observing history would be helpful to our quest to grow and mature as a country.
Two year olds, as we know, don't have the maturity to reflect. The two year old's tantrum wreaks destruction, out of control, not understanding his own anger, only the desire to remove whatever pain or discomfort creating the chaotic feelings from within.
As citizens, we behave much the same,
pointing fingers, yelling and screaming, crying and stomping our feet, willing to vote for the biggest, most destructive bullies, much like us, who will express our collective anger, without reason, forethought or maturity,
We don't want to just blame others for our immaturity and destructive behavior, we want to destroy them so we don't have to accept responsibility for our own destructiveness.
For this reason, we will vote for those with the biggest bully voices, ignoring our own destructive and irresponsible behavior. We will applaud the destructivness of politicians who obstruct that which will guide us, care for us, lead us or protect us. We look for the bully with the biggest stick, the loudest mouth, the greatest ignorance to lash out, destroy and make us all feel powerful-for the moment.
That moment, that tantrum, when completed, is the great threat to our nation.
Our refusal to grow up and take responsibility for ourselves, our own lives, and our country's health and well being .
We have no one to put us in the corner to cool off, to get control, to learn to control our anger.
Let us hope we can learn to do it for ourselves. Right now, it doesn't look so good.
