Wrong to me!

How hard can it be? The solution to what’s wrong with America? A reader of the Wall Street Journal writes that "children have to love reading, have a sturdy sense of self and lack a fear of the world." Sounds correct to me! John Bogle, the successful investment guru, adds that "our self-centered bottom-line society is focused on money over achievement, charisma over character, and the ephemeral over the eternal." Sounds correct to me! After watching and listening to an interview with Presidential hopeful, Barak Obama, I am convinced that the greatest waste of time and talent in America is ignorance. Rush Limbaugh, the popular conservative radio talk show host points calls ignorance America’s greatest expense. Mr. Obama’s purposeful pandering from a race neutral viewpoint went unnoticed. His appearance of sincere concern as a politician was noticed. His supposedly bi-partisan audience clapped repeatedly for claptrap. Solutions or rescues from our present state of division in America that Mr. Obama proposed, would in reality just divide us further into two classes. There would be on one side those who acquiesce to or receive the government’s largesse and on the other side those who repudiate help because they would rather responsibly pursue their self-interests unimpeded. What’s wrong with America would not be corrected but exacerbated by Barak Obama. Sounds wrong to me!
