It provides context for today's turmoil and recriminations."<BR/><BR/>Your last comment regarding resorting to arms already happened in our history. The Great Railroad Strike of 1877 and the Haymarket Riots of 1886 illustrate what happens when the pendulum of greed swings to far. <BR/><BR/>Out of these bookend events came a rebirth of the American economy that resulted in our being positioned for the economic dominance of American 20th Century.HISTORYGUY99https://www.blogger.com/profile/08332841159483231557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460560421524914967.post-68298579254807465762008-11-10T00:22:00.000-08:002008-11-10T00:22:00.000-08:00Glad you're non partisan, HG.

But hopefully by this comin' decade, there won't be 10 million jobless in America.<BR/><BR/>With that "many monks & so little porridge", things could really get messy, be it for local residents or aliens, legal or otherwise.<BR/><BR/>Many overseas are still attracted to the "American Dream" (yours truly included). But it's not gonna CHANGE things if it's corporations & gov't makin' all the money at the expense of worker - citizens. Or do the Peoples have to resort to arms against this new despotism? I dare not imagine...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
