That book about Hillary's campaign that I've been reading, is a reminder that
political party leaders function in a world in which the use of statistical
forecasting, focus groups, predictions and fashioning the most effective
methods for manipulating the public is what politics is all about. It's the
advertising industry writ large. And it is driven, very much, by individual s'
career ambitions. So yes, we're living at a time when the anger and unrest of
people which result from their needs not being taken into account, is becoming
more obvious. We're seeing the environmental results of over use of the earth's
resources by corporations and the breakdown of society as a result of the
combination of technology and mass society combining to deny the importance of
individual interactions and human values. And if you have incredible faith in
the human spirit, then it's a time of great opportunity for positive change.

Misunderstanding of Economics
Good Sunday morning, Bonnie and All.
Although I did spend years as a member of the Democratic Party, not the
Democrat Party, and served as precinct committee person back in the days when
we were Committeemen, and worked within the Party trying to keep it as an open,
member driven Party, , after years of token membership I tossed in the towel
after the DNC and the Super Delegates and the Party leaders all finished
roasting Bernie Sanders and giving us what amounted to Left Overs in Hillary
Clinton.
We are privileged to be living in a time of great change. Well, privileged
unless we are in the growing portion of humanity living in abject poverty. But
we are witnessing the changing of the guard, the end of Capitalism and the
potential of a People's World. My personal fantasy would be a world with no
national boundaries. A world where all people have a voice in governing
themselves. A world where we humans truly become the caretakers of Mother
Earth. A world that no longer has greed driven power hungry people making war
upon one another.
Well, that's a partial list, but you get the idea. As long as we, the People,
allow ourselves to be turned against one another, and Trump is doing a
wonderful job of this, we will be headed for extinction. And with us, the
entire planet as we know it.

I
cannot for the life of me figure out why people like Ronald Reagan,
Dan Quayle, Sarah Palin, Bush Lite, much less Trump so invigorate the
minds of the Republican Party they'd even imagine them as Presidential
material. As I've said before, the far right has so overrun
Republican ideology I left the party I grew up within with few
regrets. They have no room for intelligence or intellectualism, and
see progressives and moderates as being the equivalents of Communists.
Not that they understand the reality of what Communism and Socialism
were ever supposed to be.
