....that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain...that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom...and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish Can you answer any or all 3 of these questions for me? Im at a loss with a solution. I am one of the millions of citizens affected by our elected governments abuse of our trust in a system created by men who could not be bought by the wealthy and controlled by the lobbying interests of the most profitable and thus powerful companies. That said I 3 questions... I want to know how we stop the boulder of greed and political ignorance and the resulting debt from its run away speed power and destruction? What can we do as citizens to affect change when were forced to choose between the lesser of two evils to run this once powerful Nation into a future of us and them? What can we do to make the most profitable companies and citizens to simply pay their fair share of taxes to ease the grip on those that struggle living paycheck to paycheck consumed by debt? The inspiration for this post...Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Thanks for being my friend and for your time...Demian
