Fare Thee Well: Kodachrome Fades away into history today

Kodachrome.... Gave you nice bright colors. ...

History has ended for that great stuff.
......Mama, don't take my Kodachrome, away....

and it's epitaph?
  ...A  picture of all the employees standing in front of Dwayne’s wearing shirts with the epitaph: “The best slide and movie film in history is now officially retired. Kodachrome: 1935-2010the Times article.”


OK, you wanted a Political discussion: Here goes. The background I believe that: * We're HEADING into a DEPRESSION. We're (now) IN a depression! * It's going to be as BAD as the last one. * I call this Depression 2.0 * The current failures only bring us 25% into the problem!! * According to Robert Reich (former Sec'y of Labor under Clinton): The only number that he EVER saw, defining the depression was that the unemployment rate hovered around 25%. * We need a new deal. * After 58 years of NO Health Care Reform (since 1950!) it will FINALLY be coming soon... * We've managed to WASTE a FULL generation (from Zero to thirty) with decaying social, educational, and interpersonal skills. * Our nation is no longer DOING (producing) anything. SO, from these few premises, I have extrapolated a great deal of items to FIX our society... But.... We need to make sure that a number of issues are resolved ALL at once. If we don't do them ALL at once, its like juggling three RUNNING chain saws, but dropping one! Here's what I came up with: We need to do the FOLLOWING to FIX our Society: * Create A Living Wage * Create a National Single payer Healthcare * Create a National 3-4 year draft (or alternate service) * Create a Federally paid Day Care starting at six months * Implement Tax Reform on the ULTRA Rich * Lobbying (Political Reform) * Education * Infrastructure (road /bridge/Systems repairs) * Lack of Training/futures * Truth and Reconcilliation Commission * A new "Manhattan" project, focusing on Energy INDEPENDENCE See my other blog: http://sos-newdeal.blogspot.com for more details.
