She's really getting misty-eyed about free market capitalism, not democracy or America. It's only one aspect of America that she is interested in lifting up -- the old Horatio Alger "rags to riches" part -- and there is nothing else, it seems, in America worth getting misty-eyed over.Diane M.

Glad I live near a patch of woods!<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, it's words, words, words. Bleah. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and liturgy tomorrow, thanks be to Godde, where I have to chant something I haven't learned yet.

I wonder if she gets misty-eyed over the founding of the land of the free that managed to accommodate slavery. I wonder if she gets misty-eyed over the internment of Japanese-American citizens during WWII.<BR/><BR/>How can she have a forum? Because this sort of fecking drivel resonates with not a few of our fellow citizens is the tragedy that enables this misty-eyed failure of a writer to have a public forum.<BR/><BR/>I wish I had not read this, Paul.
