JUST IMAGINE???

Just imagine:

Just imagine living in a country where hard work, skills, education, politeness and social graces were rewarded.  Imagine a time when knowledge, proper grammar, proper attire, politeness, consideration and professionalism were important when it comes to education and eventually earning a living.  A country that rewarded effort.  A country that traded goods for services, services for goods, and a freedom to decide for yourself what goods and services you chose to trade.  Freedom to decide how hard you wanted to work for more goods and services to trade.  Freedom to defend myself from anyone and anything that attempted to obtain my goods and/or services by dishonest practices or theft.  Freedom to decide and chose what, where, when and who to trade my services and goods.  Freedom to express myself verbally, written or any other means of communication without fear of government punishment.

Now try to imagine living in a country where hard-work, skills, education, politeness and social graces were NOT rewarded.  A country where the color of your skin is more important than actual skills.  A country where your feelings are considered more than your character.  A country where you're forced by law to trade your goods and services to everyone and anyone.  A country where you're forced by law to hire someone who is less skilled, less educated and less deserving simply because of the color of their skin.  A country that discourages you from using force to defend your goods and services.  A country that punishes people for expressing (verbally or written) who what where when and how they they chose to do business.

This is an example of what America once was and what America is turning into.
