I am appalled at times, at what is happening to America. Some of the loudest complainers, in my experience, are those who actually are using the system they are complaining about! (Folks out of work and accepting unemployment, quite cheerfully, I might add!)<br />As a 5th grade teacher of civics, I believe I am responsible for guiding students to look at the "common good" when we discuss controversial issues. Taxes are a prime example of working together for what is best for most.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923693784234135636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24806308.post-2847076887866080222011-08-14T09:25:56.998-07:002011-08-14T09:25:56.998-07:00Beautifully and powerfully stated.

Thank you for your clarity and your passion and your clear understanding of what being a member of human kind means.<br /><br />We need one another. We need to bind ourselves together into a community. Each member of that community--town, city, state, country--has a gift to share with the others. Those gifts make us one. <br /><br />All of us together chip in so that none of us has to carry his or her burden alone. This was a wonderfully sane posting today. Thank you again.Dee Readyhttp://www.cominghometomyself.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24806308.post-87675057349824498812011-08-12T12:31:12.642-07:002011-08-12T12:31:12.642-07:00Yay.

Thank...Yay. I came here form Elizabeth's blog. <br />Thanks for the full-length post on your blog as a comment to hers. Collective consciousness, I agree, is the key.Denise Emanuel Clemenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982725113569943337noreply@blogger.com
