History and You, March 12, 2013
Rand Paul’s filibuster a few days ago was a symptomatic expression of something much larger and much more alarming than just a 13 hour rant. It’s a message that’s bleeding, and no one is attending the wounds of the nation. America is in a dire and confused state, because it has no leadership of the kind necessary to pull people together and harness the strength and resources of what we are as a force to rebuild our priorities. America doesn’t have that today; instead, it has a president that’s hard to respect, because he fragments issues and divides people with rhetoric of class warfare to incite ill will against one another. It is a man who currently occupies the oval office and pretends to care, but only about his own arrogance, which refuses to recognize the presidential incompetence that has given us the birth of financial disaster for all. Come and listen to more of this rant and quit making excuses!
History and You
Capturing the importance of the individual and how the past can put you in a position to make a difference in the present. History, as we have come to know it, is a collage of choices made, created, and driven by all of us. Our understanding of it only helps to measure how far and with what level of sophistication we can see the world and our individual place in it.
The individual, the everyday hero, who wakes up to work his day and returns home at the end of that work, is the focus of this show.
