ALIEN NATION AND ALIENATION

Society watchers have noted for decades that Americans are becoming more and more alienated from one another. This brings problems by the bunch. Loneliness, rejection, resentment, anger, indifference, withdrawal, isolation, and miscommunication are some of the negatives.

Add in our new alien nation situation and we have still more alienation. People need to integrate. Immigrants keep to themselves too much for their own good or for the rest of us.

We can all be more inclusive, less exclusive.

It's all so simple.

Thoughts While Loitering

- Let's hope the government doesn't create a Department of Alienation Corrections or start a War on Alienation. We can fix this problem (and most others) without the government.

- The heat's got me, but this is not global warming. This is summer.

Meetings & Events

- The greatest debate of the season will be held at the E'ola Convention Center. (Make that Dixie.) The Democratic candidate for president will exchange ideas with his Republican opponent. Bart Anderson will be the moderator for the dust-off between Senator Barack Tweedledee and Senator John Tweedledum on July 5, Saturday at 7 p.m. Tickets at the door. No loiterers, ticket scalpers, green people, anti-war protesters, global warmers, envirowackos, bloggers, sandal clodders, home schoolers, tailgaters, please.

- March with us in the parade on Main Street on Friday evening. STOP THE GROWTH. Join with us, you newcomers.
