Our innovation and America's ability to continue to lead the world in improving a global society is directly tied to <br />progressive methods that carry the best of our traditions. Status quo is not an option. Through proven practices in equality, America was the visualization of many great men's dreams.<br /><br />Judge Griffen's position statement resonates not just in the legal <br />circles of Arkansas, but permeates throughout the American Corporate <br />System/Structure. It is embedded in the fabric of America particularly in the quilted history of our South. It rhythmically beats strongly in <br />the heart of the Heartland and stretches like a warm blanket from sea to shining sea. Our distorted perception of peace has allowed the tail to wag the dog into the <br />perils of an un-trusted legal system, a failed housing market, an unregulated banking industry and the worst economic situation seen in my lifetime.<br /><br />Individual successes, like 'blacks & coloreds' who owned slaves in 1864 or electing/selecting female or colored leadership today, granted shall never be taken lightly. Appreciation is extended for the hard work, political, economic and social lynchings and assassinations that lay in the aftermath. The critical question for the civilized American society is, simply: When will the intelligent invitation for integration and equity in voice be extended and precede the fight against fear, homogeneous <br />status quo and the entrenched hypocrisy of double standards?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
