Slapped hard in Massachusetts and lacking in any strength of vision for a necessary American Transition towards a sustainable and independent future - The President seeks to strengthen his hold on the center by adopting Republican strategies.
American Powered USA. We could be (I believe we will be - eventually) a model for the Planet. The reality is full speed ahead with the Corporate, Federal partnership as if our life depended on it. Get that GDP growth line pointed up at our reassuring 45 degree arc onward into the future. Life depends on it. That's the way it is and has always been - some believe.
Many people think we are trapped in a system, that we have no choice, we must stay the course. It was (freshly) pointed out to me just a day ago by a friend that Slowing Down is not an option for Wall Street. If we slow down then stock values fall, falling stock values is a disaster for those who have attained their great wealth which is quite a few. As a matter of fact the American Dream quite obviously morphed over the last 40 years in America. McMansions have sprouted up along with millions of poor quality (crap) sub divisions. It's a divided America with the few, controlling the wealth and pretty much controlling the type of People who become our elected representatives. With the rest of us scuffling scraping by. The Democrats make their way as the party of the People by way of what seems an institutionalizing of compassion. As if our victimhood is only relieved by the beneficence of a Non-Profit world backed by all our wonderful non-profit organizations mostly backed by Corporate largesse.
A vastly different vision is needed and I think is and will emerge. I believe the Tea Party movement contains many of the positive seeds that offer hope for America in a Transition out of Foreign dependence, Federal Dependence, Corporate Dependence. Of course Life is Interdependent, no man or woman is an Island. We are social creatures and we need social co-operation to survive. Every home in America can be energy generators. Every home in America can be generating a small trickle of wealth to it's inhabitants and sending back energy to the grid. A four day work week is completely attainable and is needed some people can get by on a 3 day week. We need an immediate moratorium on Immigration into America. We have a serious transition ahead and we no longer accept an infinitely expanding population as a good thing. The goal is leaving our children the world and country in better shape than where it is now. Space is survival - the congestion of population in the USA and the world diminishes our Freedom. The world of gambling on Wall Street is.. what it is - but it needs to be seen as the abstract game playing it is. It has nothing to do with real wealth. The American People need to experience real wealth, a solid home of our own in safe and friendly communities, good work and a healthy environment that allows nature to be as rich as we are. That's the good life. Life is a mystery and a most challenging endeavor. It could be seen as a game though not to be taken cynically I hope, and like the temporary players that we are, we all will relinquish our time on the field to the next generation. We can't be destroying the play ground on our time on Earth. The children must have a great future. On the coins of America note the words 'Liberty' and 'In God We Trust' as frequently appearing as a friend of mine said back around Christmas, there are lots for words for God, it doesn't matter what you use.. Life, Love, Allah, Krishna. There is one uniting uplifting spiritual power on Earth. If we have Faith in that Power then we can experience Liberty. If we have Faith then we don't need to be running around in a Security State. We have the freedom to choose, we can slow down our lives and make them richer. Yes there are hard times unavoidably ahead, because of our ignorance, 'the momentum of blindness'
but we have to, make that I have to, stay positive.. Yes We Can Can.
