This is a quote from Rogue Columnist –

I grew up in an America that had created the greatest middle class in the history of the world, a great civilization not just a great market. Where people were citizens, not consumers. Where we landed men on the moon and would always be on the forefront. Where Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream…” And we worked for that. But we’ve become a different America and different Americans. For King warned, “A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.”

I fully agree. I believe in the unity of citizenship and a cooperative ethic recognizing that we are all in this together particularly in these very bad times.
