revolution 2 American style
fiction
edward w pritchard
Charles Dickens in A Tale Of two Cities writes of the aristocracy going about their depravities and routines as innocent wood and trees grew in France or far away Norway later to be used for guillotines to behead those same nobles.
In America in 2010 are there dusty contracts of adhesion,- mortgages,- health insurance master contracts,- or tax codes that whisper the same warnings the trees and wood did back in 1788 France?
Our majority of citizenry sinks back and falls behind. The gap between rich and poor grows in America, although both groups are losing relative position to the rest of the world. Is the situation sustainable. Will everyone peacefully and passively fall lower and lose what they once had?
The frontier is closed and the Indians have no more land for us to appropriate. Where will the growth come from to move America forward? Answer unknown, but its probably not educating everybody poorly and saddling them with borrowed tuition debt and fretting that we fall behind in math and science.
