my a-political hubby and I watched Schindler's List tonight. Then he floored me...

said we are going down that same road and we better be careful



this shocked me because he never really pays attention to anything political and is pretty oblivious to most things.

12. Have him read the history of Rome

A quick look shows that Rome, that was built on the middle class, started to bring in slaves to do the jobs that had built that middle class.


The loss of jobs, income and status led to the downfall of Rome.

As we look around us today we see that the middle class in America is under attack as the powers that be look for the cheapest labor costs in other countries, open immigration (illegal and legal) and with H1 visas..

3. He's right. And very astute.

He should read Naomi Wolfe's book - The End of America - Warning To A Young Patriot

OR

If he doesn't want to read it -- here's NW giving a talk on it at the University of Washington.

5. Either that or the movie Idiocracy could possibly be our future.

After seeing Idiocracy, I thought, "Yeah, that's happening right now."

6. I found it really hard to laugh at that movie.

It mostly just saddened me.

7. Been saying that for years

Tell him, welcome to the club, now that his opened eyes, look around and DO SOMETHING

We MIGHT be able to stop it

and why I teach History
