GOP tactics shortsighted
I’ve seen the greatness of our nation in defeating the evil Axis, eliminating polio, developing television, putting a man on the moon, creating smart phones and political parties working together.
We are now sadly in decline.
We have leaders who do not lead, a Congress more preoccupied with getting elected than doing business, many denying climate change, the Supreme Court saying “money is speech” and “corporations are people.”
And only one Republican candidate for president in 2012 repudiated these ridiculous claims, and he was the first rejected by his party. Money and greed consume our nation; the rich get richer and the poor get poorer; Karl Rove and the Koch brothers spend millions subverting our democracy.
The population of the planet is 7 billion, and shortly it will be 9 billion. National Geographic tells us the Pacific Ocean will be “dead” in 50 years due to overfishing and pollution. Jacques Cousteau predicted this 50 years ago.
