Greetings good citizen, the mood across 'progressive Murika' is one of jubilation, the party popularly known as 'Democrats' chalked up a win in a die hard Red State.
It is being touted as a victory for the much maligned and deeply flawed system referred to as Democracy...but is it?
You still only get to choose between candidates you don't know and they run not on their own policies but those of a 'party' you have zero influence over. Am I being harsh pointing out that in any other situation those circumstances would be viewed as an 'epic fail'?
Not your fault good citizen, the parties have been operating like this from the start. Zero irony that the chief difference between them centers on taxation. Democrats are criticized for 'tax and spend' while their alleged ideological opponents 'mandate and don't fund'
Both are unnecessary but that speaks to the criminal situation we have and isn't 'party' related [save the parties acting as a smoke screen for the regular looting of the public treasury via the War Machine...]
Whenever your doubts were aroused you were reminded that your politicians were doing 'god's work' [by keeping us safe, bringing home the bacon via those defense contracts to provide the troops with shiny new turnip twaddlers (even if nobody knows what they're for or how they work...)]
Sort of like the politicians themselves.
So, still feeling 'victorious'?
Probably not a good time to point out that we could convert from the current BS system to A Simple Plan and not skip a stroke, would it?
Oh, there would be 'disruptions' [mostly due to confusion over 'who's paying us and where/when do we get our money?] but once the kinks are smoothed out things should start operating more smoothly than anyone ever imagined possible! People like 'simple' and under ASP everyone has a simple job to do and knows how to do it so everything runs 'smooth'.
Oh, the 'contrary' will still [temporarily] be with us but they will either get with the program or be invited to leave. [Which is to opine that those who thrive on chaos would finally meet their match. If EVERYBODY can make ten an hour doing it the planned way and you can only make two doing it YOUR way, guess what, 'YOUR WAY' isn't 'better' no matter how much you insist! [And if you persist in insisting your membership in society will be revoked!]
We all KNOW of countless examples where things are done a particular way to 'appease' the pig-headed. Those days are gone!
I'd think that alone would be enough to get you to hop on the bandwagon but that's the power of the 'Devil you know'. You may not like Ol' Scratch much but at least you know how to deal with [him/her/it.] This new thing got teeth where they can't be and barks from the other end...how can that be possible? Sort of gives you an idea how long you've been 'doing it wrong'.
Here's another point you've considered but dismissed because nobody does anything about it. Often times you do things the 'hard way' solely to dissuade you from questioning procedure! It is to re-enforce the message 'our way is the ONLY way!' [Not that EVERYTHING is screwed up, it may be quicker to just slap it together but if you don't have it securely attached the failure rate will reach 100%]
This is often flawed or old design that the 'profit driven' don't see the need to alter, just one more example of the pain caused by money!
This is why the patent office will be shuttered, ideas are NOT 'property!'
But the boneheaded believe otherwise and we ALL suffer for it.
I could write a book on the 'gullibility' of mankind but man is, er, 'allergic' to criticism and chooses to 'disbelieve', making the whole exercise futile.
Let us return to the platitude "A better world starts with YOU!" [but we both know 'voting' for change and actually achieving it are two separate things.]
The feckless have their 'tax cuts', the child molester's loss in Alabama is of no consequence to the 'self-absorbed'.
If they need to do more damage to the public weal they will just pull the strings on their 'pretend' opponents, paying or punishing them according to what they agreed to in their contract for campaign financing!
I'd think twice before you break into your 'happy dance'
Victory is still a long way off.
Thanks for opening your mind,
