Unfortunately I realize that many of these people are "dyed in the wool" and believe what they say with little hope of having reality change them.
The following is a manifesto from a blogger named "Mellaneous". Though he is an ideologically biased individual I do believe that my friend Mellaneous has a good heart. He flashes it on occasion. Still he is a committed progressive-fundamentalist.
As I read through his list of his ideal world I got the sense that he is unaware of the CENTRALIZED AUTHORITY that is needed to make all of the items on his list appear to work. In doing so this force must strip the basic humanity from "those who have" as it feeds those who are "the least of these".
This list comes from the mind of a person who really believes that this society should be ordered SERVICE 'the least of these'. Just think of the manicured life that we imagine for the wealthy people and flip it upon its head. Now we have people who are seeking to dispel from themselves the notions of selfishness and capitalism. As a result they look for a "the least of these" people, open up a folding chair and give them a foot massage and a pedicure right there upon the street.
Above everything I am happy that this type of mind has no POWER over me.
As you read through this think: WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM TO PAY FOR THIS? WHO IS PUTTING THE MONEY IN? WHAT ECONOMIC LIBERTY WILL EVERYONE HAVE IN THIS TYPE OF SOCIETY? And finally....WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE MONEY RUNS OUT?
Now that you got the KLAN to stop their NIGHT RIDING, Steve, what are you going to do with the Street Pirates who are assailing your people as they listen to "Hip Hop Voice Of The Street Pirate" Music?
CF since you asked. Hers a start
-It would be helpful to make sure that everyone living in those neighborhoods got a legitimate shot at a job, paying a livable wage.
-Absolutely outlaw all discrimation in hiring.
-Set up training centers in the various hoods to make sure that everyone was able to acquire a skill.
-Set up drug rehab centers in everyhood as many as are needed in each hood.
-provide real rehab and community support for those young people coming out of prison which would include transitional housing and job building skills
-Use ALL of US military capabality and technology to interdict drugs from entering the country. Make the CIA and other Big Business cease and desist from their drug dealing activity, (why do you think the drugs are so available because Pee Wee and nem shipped them in or flew them in?)
-Hand out long sentences to gun dealers who sold guns to people as part of a gun fair without going thru checks and balances.
-Make sure that the housing in the city was affordable and well maintained.
- Make sure that their children were afforded the same kind of education that the kids in the suburbs got, no matter the cost and the human resources.
- Use the churches and other volunteer organizations and social clubs to set up programs to catch up the kids that are behind with after school programs.
- use these organizations to begin to set up community education classes in which black history could be taught, thus restoring ones pride in ones race and ancestry.
- aiding this would be the absolute outlawing of all forms of discrimination
- set up the same kinds of businesses that are in other parts of the city as well as grocery stores with the same quality.
-use churches and social organizations to set up positive forms of entertainment for youth
- set up venues in which hip hop and spoken word and other art forms can be cultivated in a positive manner that would reflect the changes occuring in their environment
And of course I am aware that some won't want to go along but we'll just work around them.
