Letter from the Editor

Short Letter

People of America, men and women, young and old, rural and urban, for The Way Forward Bet on Science, Reason, Common Sense.

People of the World, in the Americas and Australia, in Europe and Asia- people young and old who are children of immigrants or children of children of immigrants going back generations, let your imaginations soar. Providence has shaped our experiences in the Americas and Australia from the first beginnings of the voyages of discovery.

People of America, on Democracy trust the Founders Jefferson, Washington, and Lincoln. That Democracy's future still lies in the words of George Washington in 1789- "I rejoice in the belief that intellectual light will light up in the dark corners of the earth; that freedom of enquiry will produce liberality of conduct; that mankind will reverse the absurd position that the many were created for the few." James Madison omitted these words from the original Draft of Washington's Inaugural Address of 1789.

People of America, on Climate Change bet on Science, for 500 years since William Harvey and Isaac Newton Western Civilization was based on Science, Asian civilization drifted, the results speak to us, they were a tragedy for Asia causing centuries of pain and suffering.

People of America, on the Economy and Cost of Living bet on what works Common Sense for policy, set the rules for fairness in Taxes, fairness in Competition, Invest to compete, support fully the Nation's Industry and New Endeavors. Bet on direct government aid to homeowners, to parents for childcare, for small businesses, and education as an investment in America's future. Providence has provided a way to pay for this when everyone pays what firemen, policemen, and teachers pay in taxes.

People of America, on Cost of Living and housing, childcare, on science and chips, bet on what FDR called "bold, persistent, experimentation,"  work on improving the process, if the process is good the results will follow, invent new solutions do not stay idle. 

Ephesians 5- 8, (King James version):

"For ye are sometimes darkness, but now are ye Light in the Lord: walk as children of light. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light, for whatsoever doth make manifest is light."

Bhagavad Gita 7-17 (Swami Swarupananda, Juan Mascaro/ Jose Abeleira)

"Of them the wise man, ever steadfast, and devotion to the One, excels, for supremely dear am I to the wise, and he is dear to me. Noble indeed are they all, but the wise man I regard as my very Self, for with the mind steadfast he is established in Me alone."

"De todo ellos, el mas grande es el hombre de vision, que siempre es uno, y que alma el Uno. Pues yo amo al hombre de vision, y el hombre de vision me ama a mi. Estos quatro tipos de hombre son buenos, pero el hombre de vision y yo somos uno. Su alma entera es una en mi, y yo soy su Via suprema."

George Washington, Draft of his First Inaugural Address,  1789

"I rejoice in the belief that intellectual light will light up in the dark corners of the earth; that freedom of enquiry will produce liberality of conduct; that mankind will reverse the absurd position that the many were created for the few."

"If the blessings of heaven showered thick around us should be spilled on the ground or converted to curses, through the fault of those of whom they were intended, it would not be the first instance of folly or perverseness in short sighted mortals."

Joe Biden, DJT and the Renewal of America 2016-2029

The election of president Biden marked a turning point for America, putting an end to four decades of wars in the Middle East and South Asia 1980-2021, tackling a once in a century pandemic with a massive vaccination drive, and direct assistance to households to ensure a return to normal life. Setting America on a pathway to revival and growth with massive investment of trillions of dollars in its crumbling infrastructure, investing in job creation, and raising incomes plus benefits of ordinary Americans. DJT set the infrastructure and American manufacturing revival agenda in the first term 2016-2020 that Biden and a bipartisan Congress pushed through in 2020-2024. The election of DJT for a second term continues this story, with the private sector taking the lead, Cultural Literacy and Reading, Health and Wellness America's obesity issues tackled by RFK Jr.,  investments in energy and in the rebuilding of the American Navy in the way Teddy Roosevelt built the Navy as Navy Secretary in 1897-1898 and then Vice President and President 1901-1909. DJT has also taken the lead to build a new trading system using tariffs as a tool for a level playing field, to bring manufacturing back to the US and reduce its concentration in China where a serious mistake was allowed to happen under previous administrations 1990-2016. This is a story that is being told everyday in Lyrarc.com. A story that needs to be told because in too many parts of America there is a sense of skeptical perception, a lack of knowledge about the profound changes taking place. There is also a sense of hope for ordinary Americans after decades of drift in the national life since the 1990's- wars without a purpose depleting resources, lack of investment in American infrastructure and manufacturing. Nothing will be the same. America will never be the same. It is not just technology that is shaping the future, it is the direction that is being shaped today, each and every day for The People, Yes!

Distortions in the investment allocations that happened during the last decade with infrastructure, public health services starved of resources, worker incomes fraught with difficulties, global supply chains neglecting the national interests of the U.S., Europe, India and other countries, waste of investments in novel ideas, are exposed during this pandemic. The result being a loss of hope for a brighter future for people in many countries. Accompanying this was the growth of China and the dilution of national pride, a decline of a sense of nationhood, of cultural literacy, in America, Britain, Europe, and Allied countries of Asia, Latin America and Africa. Walt Whitman extolling the virtues of America, Carl Sandburg extolling the virtues of the American worker and a sense of "The People, Yes"  virtually disappeared, turned over to dull drab language of economists and politicians, making us derelict of responsibilities to country.

Fifteen decades ago A. Lincoln stated- "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise to the occasion. As our case is new we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and we shall save our country."
