Edwards and economic justice [View All]

[blindpig]

The primary thrust of the Edwards campaign was economic justice. Though tactical considerations were also a draw, I think most Edwards supporters backed him because of what he was saying about economic justice, about class. So now, whatcha gonna do?

Do you get out the old clothespin again, shrug and sigh, and just let it go? Do you abandon the bedrock issue ailing our society just because Edwards gave up? Of the two "choices" presented for your approval do you think that they will do anything to rein in the crushing power of Big Money? Viewed from that aspect, there is no choice at all.

Whatcha gonna do? Go back to whining about being marginalized, hoping things will be better next time? How long, Lord, how long? How's it feel to be a battered wife?

The message that Edwards was pronouncing was much bigger, much more important than his candidacy. He was marginalized for even bringing it up. If you care, are you gonna be silenced by one man's decision?

People are always hollering "Do something!" Maybe we should talk about that.
