Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Chinese Proverb
Now I wonder if politics and government were fish, would you be starving as you are now? What I am saying is that our political leaders are truly a reflection of its followers. We can’t proclaim the ineptitude of politicians if we aren’t making them do what we want. Even before we can do that, can't we come to a point that we know what it is that we want?
Do we understand our political landscape?
Do we know what a political landscape is?
Let’s be honest, politics is not for the faint of heart? It’s messy and dirty. But it’s our messy dirty politics. We need to be vigilant in our need to be involved and be informed.
I know that many are saying that:
I have two jobs, three kids, a spouse, and a partridge in a pear tree. Your job exist because the government gave your employer a permit to conduct business, your spouse and you have a legal binding contract called a marriage permit that is given by the government. Why are you asking about the partridge? Like a politician…I made you look... at what didn’t matter…stay on point.
That is the first thing a good follower needs to do. Stop following deception and misdirection. What I am about to say will piss off my friends on the left and right…
Neither side represents you. There is no left…there is no right. If you were consistently pragmatic you would see that. These politicians are feeding on your frustration and your anger. All the while you beg and plead for help from the very construct that placed you in the position that requires help. Small businesses crushed by government interference as it assists the monopolies in selling you lower priced products while paying its workers less than the products themselves.
While the electric car has been waiting for you to invest in it, you have had a government that keeps investing in fossil fuels.
While your military is equipped to send a hundred special ops soldiers to kill Bin Laden, your government sent thousands to die in a country that had NOTHING to do with us being attacked. Now we have given them a reason to attack us…
What I have listed is pragmatic solutions to a problem…not left…not right…just smart. Smart comes from being informed, smart comes from being involved. Sure, you could run for office to give better options, you also could take some time to see what you need and what your representatives have done…the options would be limitless.
Let’s quit being center, right, or left…be smart…be pragmatic…be problem solvers…
I will never deny that we need better leaders…but don’t we need to be better followers in order to find better leaders?

Confuscious say: he who gets hit by big truck, will never get hit again.
That seems to be what is heading our way. If only we could derail this outcome. But stop! This is not a train, nor is it a BIG truck, so whatever it is, it's a machine nonetheless of a political, religious and traveling merchant design.
It has taken human earth history to evolve up to this point. It is of our own making and permitted by our own desire to self regulate our so-called civil engineered society.
We almost must have the prime directive of non interference dismantled and develop the pathogens that will disrupt the creature that has come to life from a machine.
We the people have been labeled as the deadly cause by the real threat, the controllers we have given permission. Through we who suffer, came those who conquer.
Those controlling are the those who are self consuming the human dignity we gave to it. The operations of any system design are mechanical and the machination of its maker.
We are the makers of this system
and its design. A design that has spoken itself into breathing in the belief that it is alive and must dominate the earth's resources to survive.
My logic dictates to me that we must return to logic in nature
and live without tech-NO-logic design. Get back to our origins of harmony and recycle ourselves into humans resourcing the art and design of nature intended.
Our abuse of misuse and our conduct with misconduct and our misconstructing the purpose, has lead us to know now that we have misconstrued and misinterpreted our reason for being.
We need to design a science, a hunger for learning the old ways that did not take control of the senses but acted upon natures desire to feed normal reasoning with concerns of justice for everything, including the planet.
We'll call it "Plan It, then Plant It for life" and the worry will vanish.
