"As long as it continues, it will continue."

Be it nuclear proliferation, the climate crisis, the deaths of African American men in the USA or the different profiles of "The American Family," we have to recognize the paths forward for a moral outcome to communities.

One of the pressures that maintains the status quo or what causes poverty is the idea change is bad. Change will drive economies. 

In the USA, the families are challenged financially beyond imagination. There needs to be a change in the USA when it comes to labor and wages. A person who works 40 hours per week should have a living wage. 

Health care has to be maintained as the best outcome for the country. Health care improves quality of life and insures a high quality work force.

The USA has to refocus on children and EXCELLENT schools where guns are a fantasy from an "Old West" flick. Schools, mental health and achievement have to be a part of everyone's best outcomes. 

The global community has to come together to bring about the world we all long for. It has been generations that have lived under the threat of nuclear war. That is insane in a world where poverty is being eliminated. Why bring people out of poverty to contribute to a vibrant economy if what still faces them is nuclear war? 

"The Deterrent" is a farce which requires huge investment that eliminates the very social programs needed to improve the quality of life and equity for everyone. 

I think Pope Francis is one of the most gifted Popes I have ever witnessed. He welcomes all into a community of wholesomeness and comfort. I like him a great deal and you won't find me ever speaking against him. By the very US Constitution he allowed to exist and there are many reasons why that is the case. It benefits the USA to have Pope Francis as leader of the Holy See. 

"As long as it continues, it will continue."

Do we want change? Then things can no longer continue as they are.
