  • Saving Tinkerbell
    16 July 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    My November dreams have become restless nightmares now, as I toss and turn unable to find rest. Night figures haunt me, walking alone and in groups alone in the shadows, yet even through the darkness I can see their faces. Pale and gaunt, tight with anxiety, thin with hunger, steel eyes looking nowhere and everywhere. Looking back over their shoulders towards the future, like looking for yesterday to find tomorrow as they walk away slowly into the distance.
    Why do they (…)

  • The Ticking Clock
    15 July 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    The clock ticks just the same each second as the hands point to the different hours. Day, night, morning, evening, and still the clock just ticks away the seconds. Listening to the ticking obscures the facts that things are changing quickly and that many of us have no idea what time it is.
    Right wing pundits make veiled remarks and some step out into the sunlight and call for insurrection and revolution. It should be remembered that in the cauldron of human existence (…)

  • A New Beginning
    13 July 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    Political parties, like people, have a life span, but unlike people they are driven by their relevance. Political parties which are no longer relevant cease to exist.
    The Republican Party is a perfect example; its central core values of low taxes, small government and less regulation have been proven false and the Republicans have been exposed for what they are, the party of the rich, the party of less taxes for the rich, and the party of less opportunity for the poor. (…)

    It is well-documented that Joe Biden has been known to speak out of turn. Of course the flip side of such a reputation is the ability to say things meant in earnest and then to simply laugh them off. On Sunday the Vice President told George Stephanopoulos that Israel has a sovereign right to decide how to deal with Iran’s nuclear ambitions whether the United States agrees or not.
    His statements are beyond absurd, more worthy of a Dick Cheney or of Genghis Kahn. The (…)

  • The Message of Benjamin Franklin
    3 July 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    I was asked: what are you proud of this Fourth? Currently? Very little, but I see the future because the past is the future. These people that we were, are unusual in their patience and uncommon in their valor.
    When the rupture with the British Parliament first occurred, the Continental Congress selected Benjamin Franklin to go to London as the voice of reason. Franklin was considered the foremost American in the world. A man of science and of letters, he was respected (…)

    By David Glenn Cox
    I write with both anger and frustration at a people so insolated and conditioned like Pavlov’s dog that they have lost the ability to feel, to empathize with their fellow man. We had another murder-suicide here in Atlanta so I went to my browser and typed in Murder-Suicide. Out of the over seven million links, I put together a list for the past 30 days.

  • Spare Parts
    25 June 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    There are few people in this world that I wish hard tidings upon, some, but few just the same. Generally they fall into three categories. The first are the media rich who offer us suggestions as to how to climb to their lofty level without having wealthy birth parents. They are, for the most part, full of it! “Max out your 401K contributions every year and start a medical savings account. Don’t buy that new car every year; keep it for two or even three years, then use (…)

    The Ghosts of Detroit (Part 2) By David Glenn Cox
    It was Durant who invented the modern car company, different models in different price ranges with different features all made with basically the same parts. The problem was Durant was a victim of his own success, he kept on buying more and more suppliers and car companies that added little to the GM line up. He bought thirteen different car companies and ten parts companies and then the sales began to slump. GM would need $12 million to (…)

  • The Ghosts of Detroit
    23 June 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    For the most part they have been forgotten; they are just empty, vacant memories like the empty, dilapidated homes which line her once proud streets. It was a land once ruled over by giants, captains of industry and labor and political thought.
    Of course, some remember the obvious ones, Ford or Durant. Yet there were so many more who, by their brains and backs, created out of thin air an economic powerhouse unrivalled anywhere in the world. Young Mr. Ford was a (…)

    Endless War, Empty Goals By David Glenn Cox
    The headlines could be from 2003, 2004, 2006 or 2008, and nothing changes. “Rescuers Search Iraq Blast Site” “US Base Attacked in Afghanistan” “US to improve Afghan Training.” If this were World War Two, the Yalta conference would have been two years ago and President Truman would be planning to meet in San Francisco soon to establish the UN.
    The wheels and the machinations turn and yet nothing changes; the death tolls grow and yet somehow the (…)
