blue bits. red rocks.

American’s often judge George Washington harshly because he kept slaves. At least he looked into the eyes of his slaves. He knew their names. We here in American still have slaves, but we pretend we don’t because we don’t see them. We instead have sociopathic CEOs running our largest companies and political hacks like Tom Delay who lock OUR slaves away in overseas, unsafe, grimy factories, working under conditions that we would never inflict on our children or our neighbors. We haven’t ended slavery in the United States – we’ve merely exported it. And we should end it, while returning our jobs to America. We also need to invest in our infrastructure, and not just the obvious physical things like our old bridges and trains but more importantly our human infrastructure. Like most fully industrialized countries we must go back to times before Reagan ended free college in California and make it, at the very least, affordable again so our children aren’t graduating with the chains of decades of debt repayment around their necks.
