Getting Real Real

In all honesty I have not been a big Thomas L. Friedman fan the past few years. Probably it was due to him beating that "world is flat" metaphor to death.

But today's Op-Ed brings him back to the forefront of editorial awesomeness. The sole reason is that it is brutally honest.

This country is facing an economic and social crisis. The longer we put off the unpleasant, yet necessary, solutions the tougher those solutions will be to implement and endure.

When we celebrate Independence Day this Friday, will we have the strength to look deep inside our collective citizenhood and commit to making some sacrifice to get this nation back on track, or will we remain mute and powerless to the future.
