Countdown to the Election

Tuesday, March 25th

Yep! I’ve got a cold, and it’s sucking all of the energy out of me. That’s enough feeling sorry for myself. It’s time to talk about the future: As we build this “non toxic” political infrastructure I’m always discussing, it seems to me that it needs to include a communication process that people are willing to use: one they don’t find intimidating or threatening. By that, I mean that if you have a problem with they way government works or you are unhappy with the system, there should be a means to communicate to the existing leadership in an environment where you feel you are being “heard without being judged”. If you are shy, poor, uneducated, undocumented, or just not “system savvy”, there is no real way to get your point across. We need to insure against “arbitrary leadership” (people that THINK they know what the problem is and how to resolve it) by building new pathways of communication.
