Indignation...




It is a psychosis when one's esteem is based on an entire culture's abasement. It is also, national suicide to insist that the heavy lifting of future STEM careers be held up by one culture, one gender over all others.

"Melting pot" then becomes less than lyric poetry: it devolves to self-delusional myth, "picket fence" fantasies and a recipe for national disaster as the globe becomes more complex and needs every citizen valued, valuable and rowing in our collective boat. The inane debates on birth control, gay marriage et al have not created a single job, a single educational opportunity for those at the bottom of the social hierarchy to lift themselves by bootstraps... with no laces!

"Pyrrhic victory" will be our epitaph.

"Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5
