Violation of the American dream
Those seven workers recently laid off by El Paso County are victims of a government system unconcerned about the citizens of the very community they claim to support. What ethics are involved in terminating older, experienced workers, some with nearly two decades of service to our county? Avoidance of the county's responsibility to provide retirement benefits to these workers, as a cost cutting measure, is without a doubt the major issue here.

Martin Luther King Jr. has been dead for about a year longer than he lived. Today is the 40th anniversary of his death. Assassinated as he prepared to lead a service in support of striking sanitation workers in Memphis, he was just 39.

He did nothing less than arouse the conscience of America, to rally people of goodwill, to force the nation to work toward its stated ideal of equality under law for all people.
