Our greedy primitive ways.

Everybody should be entitled to an affordable education. Yes, that means I'm for socialized education. Just as I am for socialized medicine. And social security. I want a socialized society. In which the basics are guaranteed everyone. Of course, this means a redistribution of wealth. A spreading of the nation's wealth. Taking from the obscenely rich. In order to afford basics for everyone. To serve the common good. This approach to life ain't gonna come easy. Because it'll require a change in attitudes. Away from traditional capitalist values. Not everyone should have the right to be filthy, monetarily rich. Only modestly rich. That's my opinion. And I ain't afraid to voice it. Knowing full well that I'm living way ahead of my time. This isn't a society that will come about in my lifetime. But it'll happen eventually. Because it's the right thing to do. The moral thing. Advanced, highly intelligent societies elsewhere in the cosmos probably are living in a socialized way now. We earthlings are still living in crude, primitive ways. We earthlings worship money. And a wide gap between the rich and the poor. A stratification of the classes. Survival of the monetarily richest. And to hell with everybody else. Yes, that's a primitive notion. Coming out of the cavemen mentality. Maybe it'll take hundreds of thousands of years before we earthlings throw off the shackles of our greedy primitive ways. But I'm confident that it'll happen. Some day. Socialism will reign supreme. --Jim Broede
