Room to View


I have to look at the young people to see the present and our future with objectivity, if possible with clarity because how they live or will live affects me now. I love them. They are the continuation of my life, and the whole of humanity. They are the prayers we pass on to their children. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.10.13


The patterns, the structures that set the beliefs that conduct action from particular mindsets is more important to change than the definitive terms conservative or liberal. To preserve old traditions or be free. That is a better view of the energies that govern lawmakers, and the public, and say, "I am a Republican, or I am a Democrat.".

We can go back and forth with this, but within the Republican party's mindset was and still is a deep resistance to the basic commitment to do the things necessary to insure better futures for the coming generations. Deep within the ranks of the conservative consciousness there is a dogged insistence to be consistent in our inconsistencies. 

During the Bush administration the country watched in horror as the Congress (both sides) allowed a weak president much despised prior to 9/11/01) free reign to do and spend what he wanted for the weakest of reasons. Taking the country from surplus to debt is a triumph, a coup? 

There is a fundamental flaw in the thinking of the Republican party that is steeped in the Old South. It is no secret, and it is heavily defended with the language of liberal (free) thinkers easily because of the miseducation of a growing number of graduates from American schools... - Gregory E.
