Glenn Greenwald’s Fish Tale

[sheshe2]

19. HA!

You caught me five minutes out of a nap...something I never do, however I was up until 4 pm~

So my first post was a little woozy. That said I grabbed some caffeine and started reading. Great sub threads!

It makes you cry, reading President Roosevelt's words.

“It is our duty now to begin to lay the plans and determine the strategy for the winning of a lasting peace and the establishment of an American standard of living higher than ever before known. We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people—whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth—is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure.

This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights—among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty.

Greed before Need. How far we have drifted from or values.

Thank you freshwest.
