the systems we have devised/evolved
for distributing power are clearly
flawed. They have been based on
clearly flawed thinking about what
humans are, what we need, want
and can do, based on dead philosophies.
What is the solution you want to
implement? What is it a solution for?
What result do you expect?
When did "Conservative" come to
mean bullies?
People, generally (though, of course, not
always) want to be the hero of
their story. Often what
seems,
from our point of view, malicious
or wrong may be meant to be
beneficent or good, from a viewpoint
based on different precepts.
When
this is the case (and dhow can we know?)
isn't it more efficacious to engage in
calm, patient, even kind conversation
to clarify what we each see, believe,
want to make happen?
It seems so much good is not
allowed to be done for lack of
money.
One might assume these losses
of societal betterment are due to
a need to conserve our limited
resources, that they be available
for what has been deemed best
use. Yet, LOOK! where are
these
resources, this money, going to be
spent -- what is the method, who
are the arbiters, what ends for our
resources are they deciding?
It's not that what you do/believe/want
is wrong -- it's that it gives you
fear/anger/anxiety, not joy.
I have a need to share. Yeah, the
writing and posting what I observe.
And I notice, not fully engaging with
entertainments with this insistence
on thinking about how to share it.
Strangely, this feels like restriction.
What media chooses to highlight
forms the public story.
I am thinking of writing a fiction,
based on the realities of far too
many victims of a sick society.
Basic plot:
a woman is raped, pregnant,
legally prevented from getting
an abortion, even when there are
serious medical complications.
The woman dies horribly, but
"Yay! We saved the baby -- though
it does have severe health issues
requiring extensive expensive care,
and no parents." Who
will take
this responsibility?
