The Fallacy of the Lottery

The Lottery is the best example of a misled and duped American people. The second is the voucher system in education. The third is tax cuts, whereby checks are sent to people’s homes. Talk about giving candy to a baby. When Congress and the President become so adept at hedging their responsibilities, it becomes easier to pass out treats to the animals to keep them satisfied. When asking what the qualifications of the President should be, remember he/she is a policy maker who should represent the best interests of the people. If one is going to represent the millions of people that live in the United States now qualified as _______ -Americans, the president needs to be knowledgeable about social science. Simply put because America is a nation of immigrants (both legal and illegal), to help them live together in some semblance of harmony it will take an understanding of their proceeding cultures. That means the concept of Globalization (which at its root is an evil concept of world domination) must take a back seat to multiculturalism and diversity in the United States. Who ever thought one totalitarian sect deserved to rule the world at the expense of losing the unique cultural history of each and every country that differs from the United States? That is why we are sitting at the edge of a black hole, because money markets represent nothing. Moving money around is a childish wasteful game. Producing money is the key to Capitalism. Wall Street has been playing ring around the posy for years watching businesses outsource our needed manufacturing jobs to foreign countries with cheaper labor. This disservice to the American people and irresponsibility to our infrastructure is being disguised by token programs that attempt to put a band aid on the real problems facing Americans. Gambling is no substitute for job creation and sustenance. Allowing parents to choose their children’s school is no answer, because if all Americans are created equal then each student should be treated well and the same. Sending Americans checks drawn on an all ready overdrawn bank account is ludicrous just as is bankrolling a violent demolition of a foreign country. To lead the American people in a direction of whimsical fancy rather than investing in their futures is heinous. How can the President address the mainstream, a common philosophy of life, when Americans are segregated into categories based on their originating regions? It is ridiculous to label Americans anything other than American, because from her inception America has been a country of immigrants. We have been smart enough inherently to know whence people came. To put a qualification of “African” in front of American subverts patriotism, because confusion is the result. Should the African remain true to African ideals or should they be absorbed into the all ready existing philosophies of American life? While no Negro will voluntarily embrace the idea of slavery, luckily Abraham Lincoln saw fit to change that way of life. It is unfortunate thousands of American lives were sacrificed for this purpose. The black race living in America instead of asking, “What your country can do for you,” should remember the monumental sacrifice that has been made for their freedom. The next time a ghetto mom extends her hand and asks for a handout in the name of slavery, they should be asked if they are willing to fight for their country in Iraq. Still we are waiting to reap the rewards of 9/11, that monumental sacrifice of American life. Throwing bubble gum to the American people from the caboose of a train is passé. Our country needs real life solutions to social problems, and that will take a scientist and a politician. If the President is not familiar with the discipline of government, how can he lead? Just as a CEO could not lead a corporation with no knowledge of its product or service, the President cannot lead without the specific knowledge of what Americans are meant to do. School for children is a majority of their lives, and not to focus on the education of our youth is proving to be a grievous mistake. Passing the buck has become the normal practice in Washington, DC and it will no longer be acceptable.
