I Bring Fresh Flowers

Robert F. Young

I Bring Fresh Flowers by Robert F. Young - A touching tale of an Astronette—and why the gentle rain from Heaven has the quality of mercy.
You know Rosemary Brooks. You have known her for many years.
It is said that when she was a little girl her favorite poem was Barbara Frietchie, and it is told how she would sometimes poke her pretty head out of her bedroom window, survey the suburban street with her blue-sky eyes, and cry, "Shoot, if you must, this old gray head, but spare your country's flag!"
Yes, you know Rosemary. You know her very well.
Like all little girls, Rosemary grew up. But Rosemary did not change. This is not to say that she did not turn into an attractive young lady. She turned into a most attractive one indeed. Fragilely beautiful, airy of tread, she should have been the reigning rose of every dance she went to, but she was not. Rarely did the young men of her acquaintance ask her to dance, and never did one of them approach her and say, "Come into the garden, Rosemary, for the black bat, night, has flown." She did not go to very many dances in any event, and looking back, one realizes that the few she did attend, she attended primarily to please her mother. The reason behind Rosemary's wallflowerhood is simple: the young men of her acquaintance knew that with her, God and the United States of America came first, and that accompanying her through life, or even accompanying her home from a dance for that matter, meant being relegated to a back seat. It is alright for little girls to be Barbara Frietchies, you see, but not for big ones.

The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

Economic inequality is one of the most pressing issues of our time. While some individuals amass enormous wealth, millions struggle to afford basic necessities. The gap between the rich and the poor has widened significantly over the past few decades, raising concerns about fairness, economic stability, and the future of society. This growing divide affects nearly every aspect of life, from access to education and healthcare to political representation and social mobility. Understanding the causes and consequences of economic inequality is essential to addressing the challenges it presents.
Historically, economic disparities have existed in every civilization, but modern inequality has taken on new dimensions. The rise of globalization, rapid technological advancements, and financial deregulation have contributed to an economic system that disproportionately benefits the wealthy. While free markets have driven innovation and lifted millions out of poverty, they have also concentrated wealth and power in the hands of a few. In many countries, the middle class—once the backbone of economic stability—has eroded, leaving a stark contrast between the privileged elite and those struggling to keep up.
Government policies play a crucial role in shaping economic inequality. Tax structures, labor laws, and social welfare programs determine how wealth is distributed within a society. In some cases, policies favor large corporations and high-income individuals, exacerbating disparities. Meanwhile, stagnant wages, the decline of labor unions, and rising costs of living make it increasingly difficult for working-class families to get ahead. The debate over economic inequality is not just about wealth but about opportunity. When financial barriers prevent people from accessing quality education, healthcare, and stable employment, economic mobility declines, reinforcing cycles of poverty.
