We can always do better.

I've never been enamored by American-style capitalism. I think the day will come when we look back on it -- as a ruthless and immoral system. Just the way we look back now on slavery. Yet slavery used to be a vital part of the American economic system. Staunchly defended by many of our founding fathers. Even George Washington had slaves. Albeit, he freed them upon his death. But Thomas Jefferson didn't free his slaves. Anyway, I have a feeling that someday capitalism will be in as much disrepute as slavery. It takes time to recognize some wrongs. Look at the history of civilization. We often reach the point of thinking we have it right. And that our way is the best way, if not quite the perfect way. We Americans will some day wake up and do the right thing. But eventually we learn that even the right thing has flaws...and we can always do better. --Jim Broede
