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.
