Our grandchildren are not going to understand if we don’t take our country back from the warmongers, the violence peddlers, AIPAC and their Likud Israeli allies. But foreign involvement is just one of our issues. People who are not overwhelmed by the hopelessness engendered by acquiescence to things as they are can do amazing things. Today on NPR I heard that while educational accomplishment continues to stagnate in the US, Poland, basically a developing country with massive childhood poverty, has passed the US by in standardized testing of 15 year olds in science and math. They are now in the top tier with scores close to the top in the international ratings.

It’s not enough to try and lay blame for all our ills; we can start taking much more personal responsibility for putting our legislators feet to the fire, but even more important, we need to become far more involved in understanding the issues more deeply, and helping to devise the solutions. When the Poles were in the bottom grouping, they took that old fashioned maxim “when the going gets tough, the tough get going” to heart, and accomplished what our “good guys” (supposedly) can not accomplish.

Personally, I believe our totally misplaced confidence in experts and “interested” parties, and our subsequent blaming of them for our failures, a la Obamacare, says more about our unwillingness to accept the idea the buck stops with us. We need to start proving to ourselves democratic citizenship means self-government. Experts are needed to give us factual and technical input, but not to foist what in too many cases is a special interest viewpoint.

But I recognize all of this is simply to restate exactly what you were sayings!

Ha, and there’s ron ginsberg …. using the blessing of ‘god’ as an atheist … Jeez I’m outta here.

It is we who are changing. After five decades of wandering in the wilderness of dystopia, the answers are simple and most if not all can access them. It’s called intuition, inner tuition. It’s known as right-brained functioning, where all creative inspirations germinate. Humanity was always intuitive, able to telephathically and psychically connect with other humans, animals, plants, trees and the greater cosmos. It is indeed time to return to proper function, higher intelligence for if we do not, we know the outcome being so clearly demonstrated before our eyes.

I too, have thrown away my cellphone many years ago along with the TV. Mobile communications are a shoddy shadow substitute for our innate (and threatening) ability to connect anytime, anyplace anywhere with anyone through telephathic means as was always the way before our ‘civilisation’ from wild free beings of integrity to dumb imprisoned factory farm cattle. If we bothered to actually speak to the animal cattle, they would tell us to wake up to our insanity and return to our true, loving, supremely intelligent wisdom.
