How long are we going to continue to "Lose Again?" How does that play out for you? Do you lose again with Trump? Would you also have lost out with Hilary? My vote is "yes" on both. "We lose again!" So, let's cry in our beer ladies and gents while we get sloppy a** drunk in order to hide our depression! Ok, you don't like that idea; then smoke a joint.
Alternatively, let's stay sober and empower our self and our neighbors! That's the only way we are going to regain our innate birthright as cooperators within the family of Earth.
What is the reason I write on Oped News? I believe we can't rely on politics and politicians. Though Oped speaks to politics, I do feel some people are open to change. At least I hope so. Besides, I believe in Kall's notion of bottom up governance. Lets make that dream a reality!
We definitely do not need the corporations ruling and ruining our life and our loved ones' lives. Meanwhile, in our corporate "get up," we have been identified as having the same symptoms as a person having cancer, i.e., growth gone wild. How many billions of dollars are there in a Koch Brothers computer chip? Never Ending Growth again speaks to a cancerous growth.
Its all an illusion and we buy it. This is the theme of the movie Matrix. You can't fight an illusion with guns and violence; they backfire. You can only help establish an attractive and resilient alternative. As Bucky Fuller said, don't fight the old; create the new. We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims. https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/r/r_buckminster_fuller.html
Yes, I am also saying human consumption is a sign of our being a cancerous growth. My wife says, "Burl, that's too strong for your reader's Psyche to handle!" Perhaps, but somehow we need a good swift kick to the pattern that has unfolded and manifested as the takeover of our lives.
How do we empower ourselves? Definitely not with Donald! We hold the true trump cards: our labor, our heart, and our values. We are the ones responsible. Otherwise, we escape from freedom. Can we foster a return to self- sufficiency and get away from our escape hatch?
It's scary to take responsibility, isn't it?
