or feel it enough where the madness does not drive to distraction and a shrug, the impotence of goodness and compassion versus all- that other stuff ruling the world like a brothel master, what can we accomplish to get rid of this brief period of civilization? The solution offered by Christianity is to mind the next life by TRYING to build it here, but accepting that the power to do so cannot be violent, money based, humanly socially possible, and even the concept of human justice limited if not inaccessible. Hence the cross to bear in this corrupted life. I would like an alternative. Non-violent ones have been offered for a few situations, but not any for the roots of the problem.
Practical research on actual election evils and solutions have been posted about on here. Probably about as many trolls have seen and twisted them to their further advantage as any professional party activists. This is where we have arrived today as JFK said with the most savagely ironic imagery- a trajectory now revealed a very long term plutocracy corruption than leads to the destruction of both modern parties, the shedding of service to the electorate, and inevitable dictatorship. The decline inevitably involved a LOT more enforced stupidity, shortsightedness and blatant crime than cynical prognosticators could ever conceive. Dictatorship bypassed(so far) the military for key club rich guys, dumber than bricks, limbo-ing successfully under the low bar of American politics in its indefensibly worse state ever.
For two years I watched my wife succumb to disease. I could weep with the energy of the sun for all suffering now and the future, but I wept for the loss of hope that she could win a bit more life during our brief victories and endurance. Still do.
I had my rants as far back as Nixon, maybe Eisenhower but that was my father fuming at the televised GOP convention. Nothing as madly apparent as watching the repeats of American history rotting and decaying against all otherwise progressive potential into a swampy soup of mixed rants, violated ideas, ideals, and no objectives. And it is the predators who really lash out! That terrible perverted energy. Those unregulated dragons. Those wasters of the Earth. Those happy few.
