The Other 100%

A thought for you, 

from a friend -

What of greater-ness,
our most fundamental - one -
that which makes us, we?

Yea, which many made one,
which though many makes us one,
calling us today...

Arise then, the we,
born of many distinctions,
called of one spirit.

Arise to the times,
this most fundamental thought,
and let us be great.

I, you, we -
one, one, one.

In Fareed Zakaria GPS,
it was asked one early morning
which segment creates the jobs,
the 1% or the 99%.

Let me share with you
my own thoughts about it.

My answer is neither.

It is innovation that creates work.

It is a spirit present in the 100%!

The power to innovate comes from this spirit.

Because what drives this innovation?

Care for the Republic.

A love for the nation
grown up from the soil
of a living knowledge of it
and a steadfast understanding
of it's truest labors upon the earth.

This particular love
drives the participation of the people
in their own progress and welfare,
sheltered by their own freedoms,
and defended forever by a Republic
dwelling in peace and amity with itself
and therefore, with all the nations,
under the guidance of heaven,
and the light of Providence Divine.

Care for the Republic!

It is America that creates the jobs.

Individuals contribute to it,
individuals reap from it,
but it is ONLY the nation
that guarantees it.

Break this one community apart
and all certainty falls away into chance.

By the way, Fareed - you rock!

Make the words disappear 

into meaning - and understand.

Think them at thy heart, 

speak it out loud, 

live it at large.
