With Liberty and Justice for All (Goodbye Mr. Chips)

Do these seminal words from America's "Pledge of Allegiance" include concepts of the civil rights movement?  While Francis Bellamy's infamous words adopted by Congress in 1942 do capsulize patriotic loyalty, the addition of an "equal opportunity employer" would have been fitting.  ?  Certainly liberty and justice for all were quintessential ideas in the forming of America.  The forefathers fervently were seeking freedom from the tyrannical rule of Great Britain.  I did not live during Colonial times, but tyranny is widespread throughout world history.  Wealth comes from forced slave labor, or at least slave-like labor, labor with little to no wages.  
Is it possible that feudalism still is the operant socioeconomic system in America?  Feudalism:  The dominant social system in medieval Europe, in which the nobility held lands from the Crown in exchange for military service, and vassals were in turn tenants of the nobles, while the peasants were obliged to live on their lord's land and give him homage, labor, and a share of the produce, notionally in exchange for military protection.  [sic] Never have I believed in Capitalism, because capitalism is a direct product of politics.  Without politics there can be no capitalism.  Theoretically, as Arnold Schwarzenegger often says comically in the new Terminator film, Capitalism may have meant to represent "free markets."  We all know free markets are controlled by the haves, therefore politics should be a necessary component of capitalism.  I guess it is.  There is a presidential election in a year, and all ready the wheels are turning churning out candidates with fury.  What is the responsibility of this president?  There are several items that should be paramount to an effective president.  You could call them "campaign promises," but often we know these are not honored.  Candidates promise something to get elected, and soon after being elected must pay back nebulous undocumented contributions with the appropriate political decisions.  The president has become a figure head manipulated by big business.  (George Bush)  Truly if one did want to become America's president for the right reasons, a preservation of liberty, justice, and equal opportunity, I can suggest a few things.  First and foremost drug advertisements must be stricken from television.  We must come to understand that the drug lobby, the pharmaceutical industry, and America's medical establishment have become corrupt.  The Affordable Care Act was a reasonable and effective strike against them.  The Obama administration, while successful at passing this legislation, will move on in a year.  Although the Supreme Court did uphold the law, Republicans surely will be fueled by the medical lobby to continue to lob grenades at the legislation.  All ready they have punished the American public for being eligible and receiving Obamacare.  It is unconscionable.  These insurance premiums in one short year have increased four or fivefold almost negating Obamacare's original intention, affordable health insurance for the middle class.  My premium from Blue Cross Blue Shield more than doubled.  ? The Affordable Care Act is not the total solution.  The eradication of the influence of "Big Insurance" and "Big Pharma" is the key.  While we as Americans may appreciate the convenience of big business making our medical decisions, we know it is a travesty.  We tolerate it, and often consequently we die.  Only if we bring fire and brimstone down on our medical providers do they do the right thing.  Otherwise regardless of our illnesses doctors continue to hawk their wares.  It seems to me they are not interested in the intellectual gratification of solving your medical issue.  They are interested in making money, hence "Try a colonoscopy.  I sure know how to do this procedure, because I was trained and have been doing them a long time."  But diagnosing an abdominal illness....  with no lab tests, not procedures, and no support from the machine.  I must digress.  They don't have time for you.  You are not making them money.  Drug advertisements must be stricken from television.  They are misleading, confusing, and laced with subliminal messaging.  Above all they are pointless.  If we could rely upon honest doctoring in America, doctors are the ones responsible for understanding drugs and their effects.  Why should geriatric America be laden with this responsibility?  It is simple.  It is a campaign of fear and intimidation.  Academia has become the same.  Tuition rates are ridiculous.  They empower academics, and this discourages learning.  I recommend a national system.  All academic institutions must be a part of a national organization subject to observation and the possible regulation of a qualified...  Oh sorry.  Do we all ready have a Department of Education?  They are just as sorry as the Department of Wildlife Conservation.  (if there is such a thing)  None of these federal agencies does the right thing.  They are pawns of big business.  No one has the little man's back.  If a university trains students to be academic doctors, then where are the jobs?  The jobs are held ad naseum until the professors get tired.  (This is a lifetime)  The opportunities that should be available to new graduates are held by their own professors.  ?  I suggest a rotation in a federal system.  This is not a "No Child Left Behind."  This simply is a mandatory visiting professor clause, which would require professors, tenured or not, to circulate leaving their jobs open periodically.  Professors should circulate, gainfully employed, but in different geographical areas.  What enlightenment could occur engaging new unbiased contingencies of the American population.  The ability to relocate is a large favorable accomplishment on a thickly padded resume.  Quickly it negates nepotism, favoritism, and political bias.  You may be a big fish in Chapel Hill, Mr. Chips, but try on St. Louis for size.  Yes!  I can imagine professional sports, great food, and jazz music a large improvement make over midlands North Carolina.  Erskine Bowles no longer has your back.  No one has your back.  You are on your own, one large and grandiose stipulation of an academic.  You must be an independent scholar.  Good luck with that.
