This is a given.
 
I don't know if I want to think about it as a reconstruction, though. More  
as an ongoing construction - and a defense.
 
Little by little our rights are being chipped away, and we don't notice  
because we're distracted by issues brought into play by the  media (strings  
being 
pulled from behind the scenes), and - by the time we open our eyes - the  
deal is done and we're father down the rabbit hole.
 
The term 'underground' keeps coming to mind. But, delicious as that term  is, 
I would now say that we need to not hide - get right IN THEIR FACE - and  
hark back to the self-sustaining, community-based, regional people we're  
supposed to be.
 
Does this leave out the global-economy concept? Well, yeah. I am a total  
regionalist, but time marches on, and I have to get real. I have a 
hemispheric  
problem, and I would just love it if we - and Canada and Mexico - could just 
be 
 'partners', and subsist on all our common goods and services. We could do 
it,  but it's too late.
I fault Marco Polo (heh).
 
I guess I'm just leading up to the concept of greed,  It is what was,  always 
has been, and always will be, our downfall.

We are destroying ourselves from within right now.  But, "with our own  
liberal ideas?" Right now it looks like  conservative ideas-- 
deregulation and socializing big business--are  destroying our economy.  
Right now, after eight years of a  conservative in the Oval Office, we  
at each other's throats with  hateful words.

Seems to me the reconstruction starts with each of us  being more  
respectful of each  other.
