Manifest your own destiny.

Wouldn't it be neat if vast pissed off middle class in the United States all got together online and formed a new party to compete with the the elephant and the donkey? They wouldn't even need any sort of campaign funds or anything. Just hold an online poll of who people would like to see as president and then at election day everyone can write that name in and boom Jon Stewart is the president.

Do you think there might be a concerted effort to reform the stagnant political process that is U.S. democracy then?

Simple Really.

It is interesting how the world works in regards to lifestyle. I believe that today our lives are generally easy and at times maddeningly complex. Madness being an entirely personally subjective term. I would submit however that our lives are meant to be quite simple and relatively challenging. Relative to your individual ability to survive said challenges and so appreciate the hardship.

My evidence for this placidly bold statement is the impact of the aforementioned ease on our ability to use this planet to live on.

When we cherished our tribes fire as a living thing the planet could absorb the carbon emissions. By taking the easy way we have, one and all, and our fathers before us, doomed ourselves to a repetition of our species sad sad history.

I often wonder if it will be a sort of dark ages after the fall of the Roman empire kind of fall or will it be the kind of fall that preceded the birth of Sumer. Only time will tell I guess.

I see red roses too.

What a world we live in. How is it that we manage to focus so much negative attention on the things that make us different. Why isn't any emphasis placed on all the things that every being in our species has in common. Off the top of my head there are too many to count.

We all breath , and our bodies all carry oxygenated blood cells to and fro. We all expel waste in a like fashion. We are all born, and we live until we die. During that time we all seek out those things which bring us pleasure and avoid those things which bring us pain. We can all laugh and we can all cry. Even those who hold back from doing either still carry the innate knowledge of the process behind the action.

We all have eyes to see and ears to hear, and even as I wrote that I knew it wasn't entirely true, but we do all have minds that think and process information and so a deaf child still has ears and may discover completely unaided what their intended purpose was.

The point is that we have evolved a society where we recognize our communal responsibility towards every person in regards to sanitation and safety yet we have failed to grasp the notion that every uniqueness is another facet of our true universal strength. Instead we hate that which differs from our own way and regard those things as a challenge to the goodness of our lives. Madness, systemic insanity, I say.
