It's not about those lauded

policies

It's about entertainment and

revenge

How about devising systems

for people adversely affected

by businesses or government

groups, to easily report their

issues with verifiable assurance

that these reports are consideredd

an important service of information

for the employees of that system

to figure out appropriate and

effective responses that do

clearly improve these situations.

The trend to concentrate Wealth

and Power leaving very little for

the great bulk of us --

We are so very many, if we could

but find our way to get together,

we could, if we would, make that

real change that trends toward

everyone having our fair share

I can't do it.

People more likely dismiss me

as weird than respect me for

my outsider observations.

I can't convince or persuade 

people to accept citizen

responsibilities, do the work

-- yes, on top of all the brutal

work of daily living --

even knowing it takes so long,

and is never all you wanted,

hoped for.

I can't convince you to give that

monumental effort, to learn and

discover ever more that can be

done, and how.  After all, my failing,

aging mind and muscles are ever

less able to continue what I once

could do --

I am no role model.

I offer this confession of inability

as a plea.

I can't.

Please, do what you can to

give us all a better change.

We love them

because they are them

or it doesn't count

What characteristics do you want

to see in a political candidate you

would be glad to vote for?

These nonconforming people you

fear, treat as enemy, merely see our

world differently.  They are not

seeking violence against you.

Because they see differently they

can sometimes solve problems you

can't, do work you don't understand.

Not competitors, but complementary.

Instead of wasting all that energy and

treasure in hating, defending against those

who offer no harm, use those resources

effectively that we all have more and

better.

I see Biden as a basically decent man,

who wants to do what is best for the US.

Yet, there are so many countervailing

powers, needs and desires, making it

quite difficult to know what will be the

best poliies that can be implemented.

For Trump, it's so much easier.

Without moral compunctions or any

interest in others' benefits, he can merely

impose his own best interests on all of us.
