"Yes our Constitution has enshrined the Principle of Universal Love to some degree, Steve, but cares about our Constitution? Not even the President does. No President has spoken about the General Welfare Principle during the recent decades much less implemented it."
"I agree," said Steve. "It's sad what we see being done in America in general, with our Constitution? The American people spit on it. They spit on the principle of the General Welfare. They destroy their own industries with the blind and perverted zeal of a Don Quixote as if their industries were a great evil. By doing so, the American people are acting against themselves in the most ferocious fashion, nicely obedient to the demands of empire. Why can't anyone see that? We've become underlings to artificially induced insanity. Everything that we human beings need for our physical existence is produced in a factory, in an industry, or had been produced and delivered by equipment once made in a factory of an industry. But all of this is being shut down in the brave new age of deindustrialization as if industrial production was an evil demon that has to be killed. Then, in order to avoid the consequences of our industrial devolution, America forces other people around the world to produce the goods for it that its demolished industries had once produced. You can't call this competent existence. When the Constitution was created people still spoke the names of Homer, Aeschylus, Pythagoras, Solon, Socrates, Plato, Archimedes, Eratosthenes, at least to some degree. But now, hardly anyone even recognizes the names. We've lost our link as a society with the foundational principles of our civilization which is all that we've got to provide for our physical existence."
"LaRouche still speaks the names of Homer and Aeschylus, Pythagoras, Solon, Socrates, Plato, Archimedes, Eratosthenes, and so forth," I interrupted Steve.
Steve nodded. "I know, Peter, I and fully aware of that. That's why society is slandering the man. Society treats him like an idiot, because it doesn't have an ear to hear a single world of what he is talking about. That's a natural response of a society stupefied by cultural warfare, Peter. A society that lives in the sewer like a rat, and thinks like a rat, will treat anyone as a fool who doesn't 'measure up' to the yardstick of the sewer. It's natural that those who live like rats make a sport of trashing of those people's name according to the common 'courtesy' of a rat. That's natural, Peter. The rats have to treat these people like outsiders, especially LaRouche, because he is an outsider to their sewer-bound world. I would be shocked if the rats would treat him like a brother. He doesn't live there and neither should anybody else. If his name is being slandered in the White House as you say it is, then the White House is advertising to the nation that it has become a sewer. That's a tragedy, Peter, which reflects itself on the whole nation. That is what we need to heal for the sake of the nation and of humanity as a whole. That is why the President should resign for reasons of incompetence. He wants to throw nuclear bombs around while the economy is disintegrating under the weight of his policies that idealize looting, and while the financial system that should be supporting the physical economy has become an empty shell. What comes out of this sewer doesn't smell at all like a civilization to me. It stinks. It stinks worse than a sewer."
Steve paused and shook his head. "What's to become of our country?" he said. "We are throwing our workers on the scrap heap and make slaves out of the rest of the world, and then the President stands up and wants to throw nuclear bombs at the very people who are feeding our empty shell with their lives. The Samaritan would never do that."
"But the priest and the Levite would," I interjected. "We can't allow this in the nuclear armed world."
