“Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; and adversity is not without comforts and hopes.”
But this nation is abundant in riches… although much is lost we have much to begin again with…
Clean air and water… safe neighborhoods… the rule of law… law loving citizens… decent educational system… roads and bridges… freedom of speech and religion… productive agricultural system… very strong national defense… overbuilt health care system… weakened manufacturing base… excessively large financial system… underbuilt energy infrastructure…
We have all the pieces of a sound national infrastructure… and although some, like alternative energy, require additional resources capital will flow there…
But what about our hearts? What about our longing to live in a free, just and open society?
That will come back… it will return with a greater strength than before…
But now fear sweeps the land… we withdraw… we stand back… we don’t spend…
The flame of hope and happiness is turned down…
Rest all… rest… light will come again…
