"Inclined as it..."

 ok let's all try to get along....

ain't gonna happen...people have been whipped into a froth of angst and anger and animosity...nothing new under the sun...or in the shadows either...the soon to happen election for the head of the executive branch of the U.S. government as well as a myriad  of other elected officials all across the american nation...ain't it great...so many people around the world do not get the opportunity to vote for any representation in government...whereas allowing the people elected to serve office does not always come easy...

as for my own view of the governance of whatever place i happen to be living it is becoming increasingly apparent that democracy is like AA...it works if you work it....soooo...it seems as citizens of a democratic nation such as the USA we need to be vocal about what lengths we will go to stay democratic....when i hear the word "dictator" my first reflex is to say "assassination"...you see this nation has never required its citizens to bow, salute, or in any way appear less than anyone else...ain't it great!...one person...one vote...hooray!

 yes , there are problems in any government...some people think it is time to "change"...some people think change by "force" is the only way...there is "persuasion" then "coercion" then "force" if i remember my 10th grade speech class correctly...however...forced change in government  is usually the result of "armed and forceful" people using "force of arms" to implement the changes sought...it never goes as planned...the "velvet revolution" in Czechoslovakia implemented change in government without bloodshed...when their elected leader (who was a playwright) got into government he realized that he was not qualified to administer government so he allowed the professional administrators to do what they do so well...run things..

to be more forthcoming my own observations indicate to me that change is needed not so much in government as in the way people orient themselves in the world...most people follow the course of least resistance and go about their daily lives in a way that does not make them think too much about the reality of what so called "civilization" has resulted in...you know the result...look at the news for a few minutes and you will observe a hell of a lot of discomfort for a hell of a lot of people... but as the snowflake said "i am not the cause of the avalanche." 

that's about enough of my view of government, and the "human condition"...

"Inclined as it itself is to all extremes, a group can only be excited by an excessive stimulus. Anyone who wishes to produce an effect upon it needs no logical adjust in his arguments; he must exaggerate, and he must repeat the same thing again and again." Sigmund Freud
