You think you’ve got problems…
We’ve been reading up on Civil Disobedience haven’t we?
I’m not sure that it isn’t obvious to the intelligent American that something is dreadfully wrong with the method. It’s abusive. For the last 200 years we have bickered with each other about loose and strict interpretations of the constitution. We have an entire branch of our government dedicated to the principle that we may not know what they were talking about back then.
I do agree however that the American public at large is very much asleep.
“Only his vote can hasten the abolition of slavery who asserts his own freedom by his vote.”
But what do you propose be done about it?
The government must certainly recognize that its doing things awry. It feels guilty about it enough to pretend that its practicing some sort of oversight, but not guilty enough that it feels the need to stop doing things awry. The majority of elected officials have been essentially swept up in the machine of power politics, believing that the re-election can be purchased with their vote on one bill or another. What really frightens me is that it can. Can that be stopped?
I’d like to think so but chances are, until the American public recognizes the nature of the beast and takes deliberate action not against, but with its government, the status quot continues.
The sad story here is that people, and especially to include elected officials, are inherently good, but are weakened in the ability to support the public at large by laziness and non-committal action.
Can we get this article printed out on pamphlets and dropped over major cities please?
