lawless rulers

 Who are the functional anarchists?

People exercising their Constitutional Rights and Duties to protest against government policies that do harm,

or Office Holders with an attitude and practice of doing as they please with no regard for established law?

 

 

 

Republicans ought to be doing all they can to get money into the pockets of the suddenly unemployed to counter the clear Anti-Trump sentiment growing from his abysmal Covid response.

 

 

 

Trump (and friends) is truly brainless -- we don't need the PO to "vote by mail" but plenty of Republican owned businesses (especially during pandemic restrictions but generally as well) need to mail products and bills, and many Republican old rural folks desperately need to get life-maintaining medications by mail.  Why does the GOP want to destroy its constituents?

 

 

 

 

of course if we do the same nothing but complain the same indifference will happen

people seem to think that talking about politics, taking umbrage, being outraged or even coming up with their precious intricate theories will somehow become the national cause

if we want a government we can depend on to be by, for and about us, we have to do the work, the organization, the outreach, the million little details of day by day difference making, as if our lives depended on it and as if we are actually citizens in a citizen run country

 

 

 

the point of free expression is not that we get to make our speech and leave, but that everyone gets to comment, make our points, have a conversation about our common concerns

 

 

 

 

it all comes back to education -- did you learn to think, carefully, critically, and to know how to locate reputable resources for information?

 

 

 

let's stop and think instead of rah! rah! for our side:  police are not one person or one small group; there are huge numbers of police of a great variety of abilities and attitudes

 

some police are wonderful people who want to help wherever they can

 

some police are horrid, brutal people who want to feel powerful by harming others

 

some police are sometimes more to one of these positions, sometimes more of the other

 

police are people with all of our foibles, irrationalities, decency and demons

 

and like the rest of us, need to be made responsible for their bad behaviors under rule of law.

 

 

 

I have been thinking about this human subset that seems to be intent on destroying our common planet, our common humanity, our health and lives and possibilities -- how have they been allowed to thrive and even be elevated to our highest offices to destroy us all?

 

 

 

media does not control anything -- we choose what we take in and how we manage our information.  Stop denying responsibility for your own mind.

 

 

 

 

 beyond modern economic theories, isn't the fundamental question what an economy is meant to be, a system for the useful interchange of goods and services that all are well served?

 

 

 

 

 

People, you can, you know, develop better/more honest and interactive relationships with your kids.  They don't have to be dependent on the greater world to feel loved, valued, a part of something meaningful.

 

 

 

 

 Kids are doing so poorly in schools because schools are doing so poorly for them. We need a better way to educate, and in the 21st Century that way will probably be online (unless we go post-Apocalyptic back to scribing on sand with sticks).

If we need kids occupied while their parents work, we could devise neighborhood “study cells” with paid volunteers supervising groups of kids taking their classes online.

The need to get appropriate resources for online access is about much more than kids' education, but the economy in general.

 

 

 

 

we  must remember that Governor Kemp outrageously stole his election through professional voter fraud (fraudulently denying voters their votes) to get to destroy the people of Georgia
