How much more?

How much more can we Americans- awake to and aware of the big O's destructive and punishing ways - take?

California, New York and Illinois are the 3 least friendly states to business; Texas, North Carolina and South Carolina are the 3 most friendly states. Left vs. right. Liberal vs. conservative.

The obvious cries out to be acknowledged. As George Orwell wrote in 1939: "We have sunk to such a depth that the restatement of the obvious has become the first duty of intelligent men."

So sad, there are still too many foolish men (and women).
