Sir;... If the wealthy can get the poor to live like animals in India, it is certain they will try it with us here...What they miss, and what you perhaps miss is that two can live as cheaply as one, but cut off as so many individuals we need to maintain all our separate existences, and need more to do so... I doubt we would ever have been reduced to the sort of poverty we know now if we had not had our communities constantly broken up and robbed of power by law so that now, we can barely even govern our own children without the law threatening us.... The common property of the United States has been taken with the same impunity as the commons in England and in the rest of Europe...It would not have happened if we could stand for our rights, and if our communities were there to stand for us...The only effective communities in the United States are the corporations which have the rights of a human being and a heartless, deathless, lifeless soul... Where is the individual who can stand against the corporation???Where is the member of the government who will stand against the power of money??? We already suffer a socialism of poverty to see the rich grow richer... As we see the national debt grow we see the national wealth decline... If the government will not represent us, and rather, represents the rich against us, we will see ourselves all reduced to slum dwellers, sojourners in our own land, selling for our last meal our rights... We don't need this...We don't need to look to India for inspiration... They have never been able to adapt their culture to the situation where many children were not life's best defense, so they will always know poverty, and they will always be expolted, and they will only survive exploitation by living thick in unhealthy unwholesome enviroments...Distress breeds intelligence, and there is no want of that in India, but the insight to use it is wanting, and the situation is the same here...Brains are turned to profit, and then the whole body is consumned...Thanks...Sweeney

Larry,
You are out of sight, consistantly. For the shame of it all is purely that the whole world cannot see and hear your work. I said it before and will again. You are one of the most important people in America and I mean it. God bless and keep you going and writing.
