The U S Government has become dangerous to all U S Citizens.
Fear has gripped the Government and many people of The United States, causing
havoc among all citizens. Not in history of civilization has such atrocities been realized.
Spying and torture has become a common practice to any individual living or not living the
productive life, people who live peacefully, people who are satisfied with their lives.
Once the Government considers a person or persons an outsider, they are
considered alien and a danger to the society. The government fears these people for their
disrupting the overall progress of the American Way. Growth and prosperity, has become
a major concern to those people dwelling in luxury and vanity, while individuals who are
satisfied with the common way of living are scrutinized and condemned for being lazy and
indifferent to any advancement.
America is the product of devastation to the planet Earth, and the realm of outer space.
The government has sold-out to the destruction of this planet with endless violations,
removing the material resources and destroying natural environment, ending nearly all
ecosystems for the natural forms of life.
The elderly, in their time to relax and enjoy the things they have accomplished, the
government relentlessly hounds, reminding the retired they are still useful and can be of
some consequence to the community around them. The government continues to rely on
production and progress, the very accomplishments that are burying any hopes of this
planet Earth from ever recovering from absolute destruction.
The End
I was really pleased to discover a committee by the name of "Higher Education, Lifelong Learning, and Competitiveness", as I think this is an area where the US has been paying too little attention. This slight will hurt our competitiveness, our citizens will be at disadvantage in the world, and we disrespect human potential by disregarding the importance of instilling lifelong learning throughout society. Not to mention, an educated populace is the foundation of participatory government.
Which is all lead up to say that I am seriously disappointed, disgusted even, that the subcommittee seems to be a solely reactive group, and does not appear to do any substantive work on enhancing and supporting lifelong learning, higher education, or otherwise strengthening US competitiveness through education.
