What Would Jack Do About Today's Hot Topics?

The question today is how would Jack London react to the economic recession we are currently enduring? It has already been stated in this blog the political opinions of Jack London. Let me offer a refresher… Jack London was a socialist supporter, and in fact ran for office under the socialist ticket. The fact is, Jack London was in favor of the most popular stance on an issue. For example, the hot topics of our day are illegal immigration, economic recession, gays in the military, etc. I could infer that since Jack London was from San Francisco, California that he would be liberal in his political ideals. The reason for this, obviously, is the simple fact that the major political views of the residents of San Francisco leans to the left as much or more than any city in the United States. Let me just say to be clear that this is in no way meant to be good or bad. I am objectively attempting to make observations and report my findings based on information known about Jack London.  Jack London would be a controversial political figure if he were alive today. His far-reaching ideals would put him in the fore-front of the political realm. It would be very interesting to see what ideas Jack London would take from today’s society. Jack London, although controversial and a bit of a political flip-flop, would have had an arsenal of hot issues to write about in today’s time. The world will never know, but it sure is fun to imagine.
