"As I See It Today" could be the title of this new iteration of my main blog. The "It" would then be the following themes with which I intend to deal here: ~ history ~ politics, economics, government ~ family tree ~ people, places, ~ culture, society ~ dialogue and a bit of me

Not Much Left
What do we have left to give up?
I looks as though we have just about given up being us.
In the 1950s we gave up our war powers.
In the 1960s we gave up our military.
In the 1970s we gave up K - 12 education.
Remind me, what did we give up in the 80s and 90s?
Now it looks like before 2020 we will have given up our higher education.
The University of California seemed representative of State higher eduction:
* private capital already pays for more of it than we do;
* undercover quasi-ferderal projects have co-opted significant portions of it;
* we seem not to control the curricula;
* it looks like that before the end of next year students will be paying more for their studies than we do.
I seems that there is noting that we are not willing to give up. The worthless of yesteryear may have been willing to sell their soul to the devil. We seem willing to give ours away.
Who are we?

Fellow Citizens
We have the morons for strategists that we deserve.
The morons strategists are less in the military and more in our foreign policy.
