How the American Dream Grew
If the seed of the American Dream was planted during the dark days of the Depression, germinated at the New York Worlds Fair of 1939, it was nurtured and cultivated during the sacrifices and deprivations of WWII. By wars end

Inherited Dreams
Though it would be my parents generation, those who lived through the Great Depression and later rolled up their collective sleeves, pitched in and sacrificed for the greater good in their fight against tyranny-who would be knighted by Tom Brokaw

For over half a century, Americans soaring confidence had always promised a sugar-frosted future filled with frost free fun and abundance and economic prosperity. But that Buoyant bubble of optimism has since gone bust. Along with our jobs, retirement funds

Today is national coffee day, which is ironic since it’s likely that your morning cup of joe wasn’t even grown in America. The world’s biggest coffee producers are located in the “Bean Belt“ — basically the tropics — with Brazil ranked as the biggest coffee producing country in the world.
Good coffee growing conditions require high altitudes, tropical climates, and rich soil, and there is only one state in the good ol’ USA that fits the mold. Hawaii has been producing coffee since the mid-nineteenth century — before it was even a state. The British warship H.M.S. Blonde brought coffee trees to the islands from Brazil in 1825.
Although coffee is produced on all the Hawaiian islands, it is Kona coffee, which is grown on the Big Island, that is revered as the state’s best. Kona coffee is grown in the rich volcanic soil on the slopes of the active Mauna Loa volcano where frequent island showers keep the plants nourished and protected from intense sunlight. Kona coffee produces such a deliciously rich, aromatic cup of medium body that coffee buyers have pushed Kona prices up in recent years, making it one of most expensive coffees in the world.
So, wake up and smell the American-made coffee:
Editor’s Note: While Hawaii is the only state of the 50 that grows coffee, the crop does grow in the American territory of Puerto Rico.

I thought I would share a book review of the new Hitler biography. Of particular interest in the review is the factors listed for Hitler’s rise. See if those factors don’t fit someone we know.
