A Republic Turning On Itself Part 1 of 6


Have you read  Animal Farm? When I taught and tutored teenagers, it was a must read for my class. The book is a very insightful story about how things crafted with great intention go bad. It reflects the development of a system of order and society. This literature gives fundamental clues to "human" nature under the simile of an animated, and intelligible animal farm. It shows the rise and decline of civil arrangement's of consent or coercion and de facto agreements due to governance; routine and order. Ultimately the book is the path reflected through story of what happens when people and society implode under unsustainable governance and poor living science.

Poor living science is nothing less than society failing. Failing consistently over time to address, redress and contain basic civil elements that affect the quality of life for its population. State plus individual economic growth, historical psychology, politics, human rights and the idea of the "right to more" are basic civil elements for most societies. Now in our society, we Americans are in the throws of civil rebellion. Most Americans as do most people have a fundamental believe in their individual "right to more". Whether it be an individual belief or a belief in your tribe's, clan's, or government's "right to more", it is fundamental part of how we are as modern humans. Here in the U.S.A., our seemingly out of sync political and socio-economic realities with three budget and morale draining wars; has gotten us in gridlock due to unsustainable governance and poor living sciences. This combined with collusion (or appearance of) for whatever reason with big businesses, especially media, entertainment, commodities, and energy sectors have put most aware and politically active Americans on quiet and active alert.

Having studied as much history as most of you, it is obvious that the current economic crisis and rising unemployment are not disconnected to the democrat (liberal)  vs republican (conservative) view of funding and shaping our mere realty. The two party system of living, which most of us participate, is out of bounds with the daily views of their constituency. Further, the media stronghold on information corrupts potential knowledge acquisition. If you are bombarded and targeted with skewed, biased, slanted, inconsistent, and intentionally vague "news", you will eventually believe almost anything. Or, at least; call into question your own intuition and historical sense of realness. Simply, you cant trust most of what you here or read. Then, you may as well not trust yourself. Your system of living is in part due to a system of information which funds a view of reality. We grow because we know to. But growing at a decling, negative rate, is really what the crux of the issue is!

Decling standand of living is the issue affecting most Americans.
