Which means what?  It means we have to turn to our own creativity, intelligence, and daring to find NEW ways to express the power of the people.  The illusion is that politics has "left us behind" and we have to eat crumbs.  The reality is that WE HAVE LEFT POLITICS BEHIND (my God, look at the polls!), and taking the cue from our genius Constitutional forefathers, we need to start another political/social Renaissance.

 

See, that's what we need.  We need a political Renaissance.  That sounds good, doesn't it?  It's not that the game of traditional politics isn't working. To the contrary, it's working perfectly . . . but not for us.  It's doing EXACTLY what it was created to do -- which is to keep pig, pig rich people pig, pig rich people.

 

So, time to leave the game! Time to find TOTALLY different ways to honor and express the will of the people.

 

And you know what, the will of the people of our country is NOT that 99+ percent of us should keep being cattle consumers while the Bush's, Gore's, Saudi's, Paris Hilton's, and Rupert Murdoch's live like literal Gods and Goddesses. 

 

See, that is what's so crazy about this arrangement.  It's set up AS IF the middle and lower classes just LOVE being have not’s.  Gee, we just love it that an elite can spend more money in an afternoon on his/her health than any one of us spends on our children's health in a lifetime.  Yeah, we think it’s great that elites have so bloody many cars that they don't even get around to driving them, or how wonderful it is that an air head heiress is actually seen as a role model by literally millions of pitifully "disadvantaged" children.

 

It would take a 900 page book to list the ways elites live in God like worlds compared to all the rest of us and to suggest that we actually "like" this arrangement is the ultimate adding insult to injury.

 

No, we don't "like" it; we bloody hate it and resent it beyond description.  We're all God's children and our God given and Constitutional birthright is NOT TO LIVE LIKE CATTLE, which none of us should have to do since the wealth of the planet (especially if nurtured) is a cornucopia for us all.  Those little straight lines separating the different colored states (and countries) mean NOTHING to Mother Nature and the biological human species.  It's all paper pap to keep elites, elites.

 

So, back to square one.  How can we create radically different social forms to honor the will of the people?  We now know politics is ANTI will of the people.  Well, we're the people, so let's create something entirely different.
