OUR CHOICES ARE: Adapt and change in a world that is changing, whether we like it or not, OR be forced to create a Police State to hold our anachronistic policies, practices and laws in place-And in America, today, we have chosen the latter.....and as only one pernicious example, of thousands-Ferguson is the result....To illustrate a critical area in which we need to adapt and change in a 21st Century economy: We have far more work that needs to be done in America, than we have persons to fill these jobs-And 86% of Americans believe that "Anybody wanting to work should be able to find a job"---So, why on earth in a democracy, do we have 9 million jobless Americans- per the 11/14 DOL Jobs report]? Proposed solutions are detailed. The History of How We Got Where We Are is divided into two parts, which, in part, overlap: From WW II to the present, and from the mid-1970's-when the world economy underwent a major paradigm shift, to present....In a comedic, but religious context we hear of persons asking God for a sign-anything-which will warn us that we are on the wrong path, and need to change direction.....and our Police State choice, above, is our sign.....too few are listening....
