NJ Today

Our society is seriously flawed.
That mitigates against making small modifications to set things right and more strongly indicates a need for dramatic action: Big, revolutionary changes.
Of course, nobody likes making big changes and revolution scares the wits out of them.
That does not change the fact that we have to engage in massive restructuring so we can afford to send our kids to school, care for our sick people, employ all those who want to work and enjoy a standard of living comparable to or better then the one we know.
We can do what needs to be done, but we have to start doing it now.
All that 'doing the right thing' takes is enough faith in ourselves and enough love for one another.
I am disturbed by those pollsters who seem to have concealed the fact that Jon Corzine is not 'electable' in a contested primary even though he could prove 'unbeatable' in November.
Worse yet are those who call themselves Democrats, who accept corruption and incompetence from someone like Corzine simply because removing him is a difficult task that would require courage and effort.
Jon Corzine is not 'electable' in a contested primary because just 37% of Democrats believe he deserves re-election. He has closed hospitals, wasted opportunities to create jobs, improve state finances and cleanse the pervasive corruption that plagues New Jersey.
Jon Corzine is a waste, but he also bought his way into Democratic politics in a demonstration that there is no moral superiority in being the one giving out bribes as opposed to being the one taking them.
Having betrayed his promises and failed to achieve his potential, former Wall Street baron Jon Corzine should be fired.
Democrats believe Jon Corzine should be fired, but we are not going to replace him with a Republican just a year after George Bush made such a mess of our nation by plunging us into multiple wars, showing unparallelled incompentence with Katrina and wrecking the economy.
Independents believe Jon Corzine should be fired, but they too are unlikely to embrace any Republican so soon after Bush. No Republican has gotten 50 percent in a statewide New Jersey election in 20 years and there are 600,000 more Democrats now than there were in 2007.
Only 1-in-10 New Jerseyans feel that the structure of their government, including both state and local government, works well enough as it is now.
The cost of living, property taxes, and health care, along with the political corruption that makes it impossible for our government to address any of these problems, should require New Jerseyans to act like Americans, or people who do something about it.
Jon Corzine must be stopped in a Democratic primary or he will not be stopped at all, and New Jersey will surely suffer for it.
