I know many of us are serious fans of Paul Krugman. This time he has overdone himself. What he writes is so pertinent for the coming election upon which rests the fate of our nation; as to the direction we are going. mb

MB Civic Editor Ian Alterman ran this. He suggested that it should run again. He's is right. There is an increasing disconnect between all of us. I don't despair the new technology. It is great at making much easier and faster. It is fine for short, quick messages. I miss the voice connection. Those I like and love sound so much better in person or at least by phone. My major complaint is that now I have real trouble reading my own handwriting. Kisses. mb

Maude Barlow has written a piece which should be taken seriously. Most of us readers have a real interest in history. We have somewhat of a comprehension of it's lessons. We are very aware that most of our politicians have little realization of the historical effects of the widening gap between the wealthy and the poor. They act if one can ignore the French and Russian Revolutions. I tell all my rich friends we have much to be concerned with. We, all of us, constitute the wealthy on a world wide basis. Yes we have poverty in this country and the middle class is on its knees. However in comparison to the majority of the world's peoples we are the wealthy. We are very outnumbered. That is why security has become such a mantra for us to be controlled by corporations, clergy, politicians. To feed the rich and starve the poor is to welcome serious problems. carpe diem mb
