needs deeds desires

 

many years ago I realized their are no true

dichotomies/binary choices -- there are always

several paths, not merely one or two --

self-discovery is not about narrow definitions

but about broadly reaching, dancing, being

 

 

 

 

In true democracy

government has no power

The People have the power

Government is our tool

 

 

 

What directs the specific thots/behaviors

we manifest outside of our control?

 

 

 

We need places to go

whenever we need some place to go

to be with other people who need

some place to go to be seen, to be able

to say what we need people to hear.

But where is the profit in that?

 

 

 

For too many people life is too expensive

to have much time to trade without

monetary recompense.  For the few who

have no such compunctions, the ambient

ethos demands efficient profit

maximization.  Where does that

originate?  How has it spread?

 

 

 

Perhaps we are limited by framing

ourselves as identities rather than

experiencing beings?

 

 

 

 

you do understand that government

is a concept or a structure, but not a thing

that has a mind

minds are the people who work in government,

who form governments, who are the masters

and subjects and participants and critics.

Who is this "we" that has the power, ability,

and mindfulness to make the desired changes?

 

 

 

 

I recently ran into an old pro-planet t-shirt from

the early '80s -- over 40 years ago we knew,

we even yelled and screamed and signed petitions

and tried to get that difference made

 

What is wrong with people?

 

 

 

 

we need to deliver -- the information about exactly

what WE want (there are millions of us who want

different things differently); the support for the

people who show a genuine desire to serve US;

getting out the vote (not just mine, everyone's I can

influence); getting involved in local politics so we see

and know who is doing what and how it is being done;

work to get the better candidates -- find them, support

them, get their word out (but first learn who they are,

how to recognize who will do the job

 

 

 

 

The so-called inflation is not about the money;

it's about the goods that are not keeping up with

normally expectable demand because of Covid related

policies and manufacturing policies even before – and

kept exacerbated by Putin's invasion of Ukraine

and the consequences.

 

The solution is not about money, but about businesses

doing what business does, providing goods to the

consumers (if they would get beyond the manic profiteering).
