More or More or Less about Empire

So first off, learned to speak Jedi, which is a curious language where bits of sentences
get reversed in unexpected ways, which could have something to do with Forth,
not sure about that.

So Carrie Fisher pasted away unexpectedly yesterday, and really connects closely to
this whole issue of Empire, what it is, and all that.  An iconic figure for sure.
She in some ways painted a picture with her life.   But we end up made sad ( jedi ),
by their passing.

> So empire,  and what it means now,

The two party system in the U.S. looks like it has broken most of the other systems
in place to protect democracy.   What I am talking about is a crisis caused by a
dysfunctional confusion about marketing and politics, which flows now into government
and the structure and efficacy of government, and now resulted in
serious problems that will not be easily mended.

So first examine the problem.   A system based solely on " personality ",
where we elect someone based on who they are, and that person is
really unknown to us because it is a person we construct in our minds, who
is projected to us by an elaborate and extremely effective method of marketing.

We are mixed up if we think that works.  In fact you can also make the
statement ---->  we are mixed up.

So it really needs to be fixed.   And of course I will get back to you with the
solution, but probably not that soon.  Of course I did address it in the first
post in this blog,  but I really have to go back and think about - if that would
really work.

So,  as a nation,  we have some serious work to do to resolve these issues,
Seriously.   And that would be as a nation that is united behind creating a
better future for ourselves and everyone else.  Because we can.  But
a better future takes a lot of thinking and a better future, is a future,
not a past.

More about flash lights

So Mr. Obama is ending his role as world leader on the global stage,
and if he only led us around in 2920 circles, I'm pretty happy
about that.

Meanwhile, the situation about flash lights.

When I observe the situations evolving or existing currently on our
tiny, humble little home world, it seems to me that most issues
have been couched in a binary way, pro and anti.

Now, number one, it is pretty hard to believe that everything should shake out
that way, but beyond that it's incredibly confusing, and disturbing, because
in many cases there is no compromise on these issues, you must be pro
or anti.

It seems nuts to me.

But beyond that, our tiny sphere seems to be covered in issues of this type,
and here is where the power of the flash light, and I am using this
flash light to represent the U.S. government, needs to be working which,
if you go back and look at the last flash light post, has a lot to do with
the polarity which exists in a extreme bi-polar, but very hierarchical,
political situation currently in this nation and which appears perhaps
more divided than previously.

The only way I can see that we can get our own flash light working
in this country is for a real change in thinking, because we
need more perspective not less.   Mentally we need to sharpen the
focus of our inquiry to allow us to break through this entangled
jungle of bi-polar issues which surrounds us.

Why do we need to do this?  Because as a species we need to move forward,
we can't stay always in the same place,  and to move forward we need to
examine clearly the way to go forward.

Threats New And Etc

So on 21 oh man , there is and entry ( The Truth ) which links too

Einstein Letter

and high lights this quote:

Dr. A. Einstein - " Above all, he must endure the consequences of military 
secrecy which is one of the worst scourges of our time and one of the 
greatest obstacles to cultural betterment. "


So we are threatened today, and we are continuing to be threaten and our cultures
are also being threatened.   

But more and more I suspect these profound thoughts are read and people then 
go  ,,,, hey,,,,  " military secrets " what a great idea !! and do just the opposite of
what's recommended.

But okay,,,, let's try and reduce the threats to which we are all exposed,  but
let's try doing that in a rational way...

So,  this is like an instant replay ,,, but so much more relevant in present
reality.
