The fault in our stars
A beautiful movie about the goodness of people and the
fighting for a soaring human spirit.
But that fault is not what I Write about. At the beginning
of World War Two the US
was recovering from a decade long depression. During this period People had been
mobilized to build a Nation, Parks, Bridges an entire infrastructure. The money
for this endeavor came from the wealthy and was borrowed from the future as taxes. This
was fought every step of the way by the part of our country who looked at most
of our people as baggage. Why should money be spent on the rabble the
immigrants the indigents….
Then glorious War came We needed, soldiers, guns, ships,
airplanes a thousand times more
expensive then we had spent to build the nation… As the is case in all wars
before and following
The fault is that we (all of us) feel at ease in paying for
a war, bullets bombs and tanks war ships, things to be used for killing and
destruction in our current area. Socialism in the general sense seems to be
acceptable at war time and only then.
This said however, for
the first time in American History the last two wars were paid for completely
by borrowed Money.
These wars good or bad were necessary so we felt. The
question is shouldn't as much effort and enthusiasm be used for the welfare of
Mankind? Are we so competitive (us against them) that we allow this destructive way of life
continue?
Is this the fault in our Stars…..
