"New Words For New Recognized Strata of American Society"
These words will be a term to honor members of American Society that have lived lives for their nation that goes beyond the normal efforts of Citizenship. These people are truly "Elite" through merit and service to their nation and People.
This word will be a combination of the following words, (if possible):
Citizen
Dedicated
Patriot
(1) Padeci- Patriotic Dedicated Citizen = Four years college Six years military service 75% of adult life spent in any level of government as a volunteer, (such as a member of "Eyes Of The People", or as an office holder. Our highest Citizen Honorism for all who have achieved lives beyond the "Citizen" level and beyond the "Deci" Citizen level. These are entered into the "Book Of The Padeci" as exemplary lives of social responsibility and grace, which is placed upon a "Shrine to the American People" in the "Rainbow House Of America" in Salinas, Kansas, at the "Heart Of The Nation".
(2) Deci- "Dedicated Citizen" = Two years college Four years military service 50% of adult life spent in any level of government, (community, county, state, republic), as a volunteer, Our Second highest Citizen honorism for all those who have achieved superior lives of social service beyond the "Citizen" classification.
(3) Citizen- All the adult People of America, born here and "culturalized", who have achieved compliance with the qualification requirements of the "American Earned Guaranteed Income". (See diary article)
(4) Consumer -All the adult and adolescent People of America who are part of the American Economy and Society, but who have not achieved Citizen Level yet. These include the legal immigrants, the mentally and physically challenged and the non-violent and non-incarcerated criminal element, who strive, in varying degrees, to achieve full Citizenship status.
This, hopefully, will not be the most numerous of the American Populace and will only be a temporary strata from which the higher levels of Citizenship will draw from. But sadly, it is recognized that some Individuals will never attain a higher level of participation in American Society than that of "Consumer".
This has stigma, but the "higher" echelons should never base their Individual Achievements in the American Hierarchy, on arrogant comparisons with those who have started with less ability as regards these considerations. Indeed, a mark of the True Elite, (especially the "Citizen" level), is the willingness and success to help as many of these, who have to struggle harder, to attain their ranks. America becomes stronger with every victory in this social challenge.
An America, in which no one is mere consumers, is an ideal worth striving for.
