Lisbon, You Have Problems

To see the problems you must first open your eyes. There is an Old Indian saying: "Never judge an Indian Til You Walk A Mile In His Moccasins." Well, you first must be willing to take Your Own Off First.

In the interest of bringing information to you, the readers, we are presenting the following as a source of information to "enlighten" people in hopes of getting "United" for the benefit of all our "States".

"Education in the United States has become an exercise in government and corporate brainwashing, used to achieve a citizenry devoid of analytical and free-thinking minds. The purpose, quite simply, is to retain the class warfare structure that has marked American society for decades. Education has become a tool used to make the wealthy richer and the poor more indigent. It is now a mechanism to separate the have nots from the haves, the higher castes from the untouchables. As it stands today, though certainly being eviscerated more and more daily, education is making of the masses impotent creatures of indifference, happily droned into complacency and deprived of a knowledge that once served to curtail the power of the elite that run the nation.

The result is the age of corporatism, the age of unfettered and unaccountable power and the control of the masses through media manipulation, societal fabrication and education eradication. As the world slowly passes through the sands of time the people of the United States, those living inside what has become a most hated geopolitical entity, are seeing the result of being dumbed down and of letting incompetents, warmongers, profiteers and deranged zealots run unfettered and unopposed, ransacking the globe, its people and land in the process.

Today we see the ramifications of a citizenry that has allowed itself to be made ignorant through its submission to those in power whose purposeful malfeasance continues to destroy the very essence of knowledge that grants freedom to enslaved minds. Iraq and the coming disaster in the Middle East are a consequence to the decimation of education in the United States. George W. Bush is a consequence of the dumbing down of America, to which he owes his very position perched like the vulture he is atop the dying tree of America that has been contaminated by his inept and infected claws smeared in human blood."

And if you really want to get a perspective on things read Tom Brokaw's book, The Greatest Generation.

"These men and women came of age in the Great Depression, when economic despair hovered over the land like a plague. They had watched their parents lose their business, their farms, their jobs, their hopes. They had learned to accept a future that played out one day at a time."


People, you need to get more involved for the benefit of Our Community. Don't be the last to leave the couch and the first to "Monday Morning Quarterback". It is going to take the efforts of all to make Lisbon the Town that it should be. There still is division among this town's leadership. And if you haven't witnessed it for your selves, the time is here to do just that. The School budget is in Limbo but yet the Town Budget gets voted on until Mike Bowie gets the vote he wants, with lots of "Hot Air" from "Cracker Jack Detective Tapley" making threatening comments at the last Town Council meeting under the watchful and approving eye of Police Chief Brooks.

Is This How You Want Lisbon's Future To Continue?
