Lets create a great resource of people.

Being a woman of a certain age I find the attitude of people in our country counter productive. If we could work together to create opportunity without central government it would be nice. The problem is without central government things like interstate transportation, a huge need in todays society, would be impossible to create. Individual rights could be compromised by certain groups that would like to see us revert to an earlier time with fewer freedoms for people of color and isolation from the rest of the world.
We may not need to have a world market for fresh food but we do need to have some business with other nations.
What we need is unlimited capitalism; That means an open system within our country that doesn't limit or give special consideration to one type of business over another.
Now that I get up early I find that I'm learning from the science channel about alternative energy sources. I would like to see wind power, turbines that can catch any wind from any direction, has little or no sound, electrical storage for night and cloud days a real chance to end the grid and put power in our hands. It would create new industry and more jobs.
Do we need to support the old way over new and inventive ways to solve our fuel problems? Corn grown fuel is still a burning process and is more polluting than gas? Ethanol is toxic, we were forced to put it in our fuel out west and then it was found to be more polluting. We need new industry to look at all the choices, create new kinds of cars.
This kind of electrical power is being used in Chicago to power buildings. Other places in America and Europe are using alternative power on a small scale on buildings to clean up the environment and to reduce the stress on the grid. We don't hear anything about them out west where we have plenty of wind but the local power companies don't want competition. We have coal mines that kill miners and add to global warming so why should we make better choices? It's a state industry so that means we should use it? WRONG!
I want a world where we are considerate of all people and respect people for what they can offer society. Retired people are not dead. We have intelligence, maybe we have to think longer, but we have the time to research and find what you need to make your life better. Lets start a movement to put the old folks to work for the good of the country. You can only travel so long before it get boring.
So kids, look at mom and dad as a resource, not just a babysitter, a real resource of information the can be used to improve society. I'm open to suggestions on how to put this together. I'm poor but I have ideas anyone interested in changing the world?
