Comment on The Greening of American Workers by Sam Dune

I find it just amazing and ever so “too bad” that so few air/water purity bills exist. Almost all the large industrial companies that continuously bleed bad air and water into our environment CAN afford to “clean up their act.”

I knew from something I read that those years had labor problems but you put a lot of history into this short essay. Thank you for the “education!”

Michele,
Thanks for your kind words, and for reading. We have to continue the work of developing a more peaceable culture, both here and abroad.
Kind wishes,
Susan

Susan-how wonderfully you put our American present into perspective with our American past. The only thing that has really changed is the size of the weapons, but basically you remind us that America has always been a violent country. I always learn so much reading what you write and the way you write about our history. Thank you – Thank you.

Comment on Why Democrats Should Embrace Simpson-Bowles by Baysaa

Yes, and this principle should be applied to all government departments and agencies. For instance, every time the Department of Homeland Security, CIA, etc, fails to do their job in stopping terrorists (i.e., the Detroit underwear-bomber fiasco), they should have their budget cut by at least 10%, and the top officials should be fired or forced to resign. As it stands now, they’re rewarded for their failure with more power, larger budgets, and so forth. It’s far past time for ministerial responsibility.

Oh, yes, I can issue stock and share the dividends, too. . . . would you care to invest?
Seriously, I hope in time to recruit other contributors to Continental Chicago and perhaps sell advertising on it too.

The night scenes are amazing, given the time period. ‘Course the lights and things aren’t so unusual nowadays but that’s one scene I’d like to have seen in person. Thanks for sharing!
