I still think America is the greatest country on earth.
Any honest person can plainly see, American capitalism cannot survive without exploitation. Let me share a perspective I first learned from Professor Richard Wolff. History will show you America has always demanded the exploitation of some people. The Native Americans were the first. When they were exhausted, who followed? Slaves from Africa. But America couldn’t keep them (except if convicted of a crime, see the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution). Despite everything, the slaves were ostensibly freed. But the fires of our modern day Mordor demanded coal. In the early 1900s, children worked the mines for coal, but that too was outlawed. Until today; child labor is back on the legislative agenda because capitalists refuse to pay living wages. Over and over, we’ll repeat the same old same old. Money has it’s own morality and it usually comes at the expense of someone or something. It’s never free.

Nana and the bear.
“Nana, nana, tell us a story!” As soon as Uki spotted Nana, she raced across the wooden floor of her grandmother’s living room, her small bare feet slapping hard on the worn grain. “Please please please, will you tell us a scary story Nana?” Uki opened her arms wide and threw herself at her grandmother giggling.
