The cyclic power of true government would have such a multiplying kind of momentum that when it finally takes root on Earth there will be no stopping it. With the little guy truly empowered (his bottom up democratic power) and many others like him elect a true representative of the people, then such a person could then do the job of real top- down -representative- democracy, and then you are in business.
Until we have a synthesis of the ways of third world peoples, like the Indians, with the ways of the now-dominant white man's ways, we will not have anything remotely resembling true democracy.
Therefore, my interests are with trying to start a small real local community. Many others are doing the same. I read that there are, in the U.S., 100,000 people living in "community" today. I feel this is the only hope of this planet.
