  “Divide and conquer” is the tool corporations use to “bust the union” and the Bush administration is well versed on causing chaos among groups. There are plenty of “Labor Leaders” out there posing as Democrats carrying out those plans. Therefor, I believe that would be the case in the NAACP, NUL, PUSH, and SCLC.

  Why do we care so much about Bush?  In less than four years, He’ll be gone…gone , like last winters’ snow.  In a true negative sense, we’ve made him a god, instead of the demi-god he comes across as.  It seems to me, it’s all ” just a matter of time”.....and given a little more time, we might have a “government” that might care about “the people”, instead of “care less”.....about the people…..If it’s all about money, than how do we start the revolution?  Personally, I don’t know many people that make over a hundred thousand dollars a year…stack that up beside the Bushs’ millions( many millions) and tell me where do we start?.....I’ve heard the rhetoric before….and the money always seems to out distance the populace fighting for justice of the “common” man.  Do I care about color,  no…do I care about ethnicity, no….do I care about language, no…..but I do care about health care,  legal representation, housing, education, and developing a civilization that will ” stand the test of time”....

  My question….where do we start, this time?

  Thanks for another good read.
