Your article is but a tip of the iceberg of the catalogue of elite failures.The burning issue remains how to start to address this foundation problem. achives are full of study reports and many commissions and white papers are on shelves with little to show how to begin to face the issue squarely as a nation. Now is the moment that we are at at the Precipe to go beyond our individuality
and accept the collective guilt for we are are all guiltily and have failed the nation of our birth or acquired. Today the last Thursday in November is Thanksgiving Day in America. It is set aside to give thanks for the many blessings that individuals, families, communities and the nation have received. It is also a day to recommit to their values and ideals and reflect. May be our collective guilt calls for a national day of atonement, a day to reflect and to recommit to banish elite failure in our act of service to our fatherland, with no more iniquity against the poor and our neighbors, but to give and receive love as to see beauty in our nation that will continue to engender hope for a better future for generations .With best wishes to you all.
