Reply #1: Discontent produces the motivation for change [View All]

[The Traveler]

Surely, discontent of the little people must be managed or public dollars cannot be safely spent on "retention bonuses" for AIG executives. So keep 'em happy with flat screen TVs and pills while we send their kids over seas to bleed for corporate interests. Don't let that discontent spread and become a popular movement for changing the order of things.

As a people, we have so much to unlearn ... and so many new things to learn. Exciting times, when you think about it. Rich in opportunity and dangers grave. The politics and psychology of denial so aptly described above provide no tools for seizing the opportunities or coping with the dangers. There is no strength there.

I want us to be strong again.

K&R, BTW. Thanks for posting this.
