    About this ebook

    Having lived through 62 years of the last century, I saw l hand not only the problems, but also the solutions that advanced us through it Now at the start of this century I see a disconnect between our status quo and our possibilities. Ive put some of my research and ideas into this book to challenge the negative notions of what lies ahead, and to look for some lights at the end of the tunnel. I hope this helps clarify and bring about the changes for a better future.

They have always been there in one form or another as we’ve gone through wars, tough economic times, various territorial expansions, and life style changes.

      Inbred in the American psyche is the concept of rugged individualism. Perhaps it started with people like the early colonist who had to be within reach of their guns. It proceeded from there as they purchased pelts and land from the Indians with things like axes, hoes, and guns—They then proceeded to move the Indians westward. The frontiers people we’re on the cutting edge of individualism, because they had to be so self reliant. But as they joined into settlements and towns they had to bend to the needs and differences of their communities.

      Today we still have our streak of individualism guarded by a weakened Bill of Rights. Now though it’s important to look at
