The Biggest (NFL) Loser ... in 3-D!!!

If I could offer advice to a young rebel, it would be to rummage the past for a body of thought that helps you understand and address the shortcomings you see. Give yourself a label.

Effective rebellion isn’t just expressing your personal feelings. It means replacing one set of authorities and institutions with a better set of authorities and institutions. Authorities and institutions don’t repress the passions of the heart, the way some young people now suppose. They give them focus and a means to turn passion into change.

As if the socio-political change is a matter of removing one set and plugging in the other set. 

In the end, all Brooks once wants to do is point to the kids of today and say "aren't they being silly."

What Brooks wants to avoid is the messiness that comes from delving into the change where the outcome is not known before one set out ahead of time.  It wraps this up by saying those who see it in a different way are merely motivated by personal feelings, which is about as asinine as it gets.

Once again, as ever, this bill (as many legislative actions) provides only the facade that our Nation's leaders are legislating what the country needs and holding themselves to the same standards as their constituents. 

 In truth, the proposed legislation does not provide the same oversight and consequences for Congressional insider trading malfeasance, as the rest of our nation's citizens are subject to under current insider trading laws.  

We need to stand up and speak out that this is not good enough!  Please, blog - send emails - call - communicate the facts to the WH, media and your own local governmental body, asking them to pass a resolution to be forwarded to your state's congressional members as well as the WH. Don't attack either party as all are culpable.  A bi-partisan coalition none should support.
