It's Time For A Whole New Government

I have a dear friend who has been tweeting about the health care bill, and the issue appears to be upsetting him greatly. I tend to believe that the American public in general is upset as well, and rightly so. What if you woke up from cancer surgery and the surgeon told you he had put a bandage over the affected area and that should take care of it? I know I'd be screaming “Why didn't you remove the damned cancer?” We don't need a bandage on our health care problem, we need a whole new system. Unfortunately, we need more than just a new health care system. We need a whole new government. What we have for a government no longer works in our world. I'm talking about the whole republic/democracy enchilada. How much longer can we pretend to sustain our culture with an ideology that comes from the ancient Greeks? Do you honestly think that mankind can't come up with something better than those people who lived almost 2,000 years ago? Come on! We are the generation that has connected the whole world. Surely we can put our heads together and come up with something better. Marxism, communism, and socialism are also obsolete ideologies. There is a very dangerous fallacy entrenched in our society. This fallacy is that only ancient wisdom is trustworthy. People today have the ability to create or discover new revelations about what will work in our time. And it's time that we wake up and decide what it is we want as a community, as a nation, as a world. There is power in unity.

Of course, there are those who tremble at the idea of the American people revolting in the streets and demanding change. Those people are the corporations who have a grip on the economy of this country. They operate under a paradigm of ownership that is detrimental to us all. It's time for the people to revolt and take back their power from these mongrels. NOBODY OWNS ANYTHING! Ownership is a flawed, temporary mental construct. Ownership gives the illusion of power. For too long the average citizen has been duped into thinking they are too stupid or uneducated to understand the underpinnings of our ancient and dysfunctional government. Did I say dysfunctional? Yes, as in “our government is no longer functional!” How does this dysfunctional system continue to control us? By keeping us divided against ourselves. By keeping us fearful. I may not have a PhD, or use all the correct vocabulary, but I darned well know what I want as an American citizen. I also know that as long as corporations continue to dominate Congress, my inalienable rights continue to get flushed down the toilet. It may be that our founding fathers knew very well that the average citizen would never really have any power because they were elitists. However, I believe there can be a first time for everything. All we need is consensus. All we have to do is agree on who we are and what we want. Let's do it. Let's take back our country.
