I believe that was my point!
With power, comes greed for more power. That's why men cannot rule other men (or women) because you lose all equality when you are at the top of the heap. All you know is "you don't ever want to be at the bottom" and you'll pay any cost to stay the boss!

Bpitter2007,
You said some things that are not so obvious. The flaw in humanity is our greed at the expense of our humanity. I do not think the "they" would enjoy their wealth without it??

Peace Through Understanding and Justice
Those words are powerful and could change the world if we abided by them. Man's inhumanity to man has always been the downfall of peace and justice.
And in this country, there are racial questions that will never be addressed because the powers that be are the race that be! If Italians, Europeans, Auatralians, or the French were beating down our doors trying to get into the country, don't you think we would have found ways and solutions for the problem before it's gotten to the point it is now? When we had Ellis Island and the Stature of Liberty welcoming all new immigrants with open arms, before we were computerized even, it didn't seem to be such a mess then and no one was complaining.
Years later, in a computerized age no less, we seem to have the hardess time trying to deal with the influx of Mexicans coming through the back doors because no one is welcoming them in. And I don't hear a thing about other immigrants who are coming in on a daily basis. How are they getting in, through the side doors. If we are the country of "open arms" like we claimed we were back when, what happened? Why are we only discriminating against the Mexicans and none of the other immigrants? What's up with that?
Corporate America wants CHEAP labor so they can make goo gobs of money for corporate bonuses. So they will hire Mexicans and are glad to pay them lower wages. They don't want Americans applying for those positions because then they would have to pay too much and give costly medical plans and pay into social security benefits. Woe is them! It just breaks my heart :( -- don't you think?
American has basically become too greedy and wants to hold their wealth among themselves. And the "themselves" are the rich, the government, the powers that be, not we! So as long as they ban together, the average peons (like "we") don't have a chance to get any peace, understanding or justice.
And if you think about it, the Ann Coulters, and the rest of the "rat pack" blames everything on the "liberals" and they are the main cause of our despair. They could care less for peace, understanding, and justice. They don't give a good hot turd about the little people. Wy should they? The rich ban together to stay rich. The poor needs to ban together to acquire some of those riches for ourselves and hell with what they need. Let them go to France and pay out the nose for a nanny. Let them go to Europe and pay out the other nostril for a gardener. Let them go to Ireland to pay up the kazoo for a good housekeeper. If we stop them from using us like fishbait, then and only then will we be standing together and demanding what is rightfully due us.
We've got to remember that as long as there are people rich with power, there will always be injustice. If we don't stand up and fight for the right to exist on equal grounds, we will always be the underdog. It's up to us to change what is happening to us.
There are no supermen out there coming to save the day!
