Values of Greatness
Re-Enter Contemporary American Lives

How much can we do?

How fast can we do it?

After listening to the new President of the United States Barrack Obama give his inaugural speech I wonder how much can be done.

Can America truly update the technology to ALL of it’s societies useful tools and buildings to enhance the quality of life for Americans and the rest of the world?

A lot of accomplishable goals have been set.

I am truly interested in seeing each goal get accomplished, even if it takes more than the 4 year term of the newly elected US President.

The election of an African American man in the United States after slavery, the diminished human spirit of Jim Crow Laws, and a continued oppression of African American male ideas and spirit to overcome oppression based on ignorance and discriminative arrogance proves that the “change” that the Obama Administration assures it’s supporters during the campaign process is possible. 

Honor, Truth, Hard Work, and Faith are all qualities of the best Americans and American leaders that sacrificed their lives so that contemporary Americans can have the privilege of freedom.

These are all old school values.

I believe that President Obama’s inagurational speech re-introduced, embraces, and encourages old school values to be used in making well informed decisions in every day 21st Century American lives.

Encouraging values of great humanity like that of the Americans who started the first FREE country in the world is a request to a young minded America to be bigger than what they may be, so that their country can move in a direction re-affirming what it already is.

America is a young country that has overcome slavery, segregation, and both world and civil war making it a great country.

With ALL American societies, or cultures, embracing of great qualities a young America can truly live up to it’s full potential.

That potential is limitless, because Americans are FREE!
