welcome to your place in history

 

there would be much less need for money in politics
 (just for headquarters, staff, fees, transportation 
and such) if we did our due diligence as citizens, 
learned and shared who these people are, what 
they have done, how effective they have been, 
what they value, so we would neither need 
ads nor be swayed by propaganda 




sometimes I have to wonder about people 
wasting their precious human lives on 
stupid hates and nasty actions
can't they find more pleasant activities?




DEI is actually a method to ensure 
the best employees, unfettered to
old notions based in unthinking prejudice




America is SO READY for a female POTUS
 -- welcome to your place in history 
as part of this election!






voting is the basic duty of a citizen in a democracy 
(necessary, not sufficient)
it doesn't matter as much that your vote "count" 
as that you do your due diligence and participate

the problems in our democracy mostly stem from 
We the People abdicating our role as self 
governors, allowing "parties" and "media" to take over 





we have money in politics, yes because 
monied interests want to rule -- but that 
wouldn't matter if citizens did our jobs of 
being informed so we would have no use for
or interest in their advertising and campaign tricks
What has taken our freedoms, allowed 
the wealthy to make the rules, is their clever 
trick of getting most of us so caught up in 
this and that, so poorly educated, so 
anti-intellectual, that we don't even realize 
we have a job we're not doing to self rule



Those who do the work to create an enterprise
are only part of the process.  Also necessary
are those who provide the labor to reach
the enterprise's goals, and the
users/consumers of its products.
For the business to do well, all of these
must be well served, as well as the
greater community.



At its best, government is people
with the appropriate expertise
doing those jobs to help us better
do ours.



These "Christians" so sexually obsessed.
Have they read their "Holy Book"
and managed to ignore its vast
teachings and philosophies,
intent only on prescribing other
people's sexuality?



If private industry, given the
opportunity, won't provide what the
people actually want (other than
working to convince us to take what
they offer), it becomes obvious we must
make the changes to give that job to
those who will do it.
