ARE WE HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION?

Of course we are headed in the wrong direction.  Everyone agrees on that really.  Even President Obama says that wealth inequality is the most serious issue of our time.*  But no one seems to know what to do about it?  It sure looks like we are headed for a trickle-down economy where money is in the hands of a few unelected families who will be in charge of distributing their huge fortunes to the peasants.

We have made some small progress in reducing carbon emissions, but we need to show leadership in the goal of reducing carbon emissions.  I find it weird that the president is called upon to show leadership on this or that, but on carbon dioxide pollution we are to just wait for the other guy to do something.  I think that China is showing some recognition that it isn't right to live in filth and have started some plans to clean up emissions.  They are building lots of nuclear power plants, for example.

We seem to be surviving in this country by presidential executive orders in spite of all attempts to bring the government to a stand still.  Rather than doing their jobs, a number of representatives are talking about impeaching the president because he is still sort-of making things work.  What they seem to want is nihilism.  What an age we live in.

There are ongoing obsessions of men with women's bodies, and they can't stand the idea of women in control of their bodies.  They feel women are pro-creation machines with no other purpose.  I don't understand how women can vote for any of these people.
