BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS TO SAY IT
Daniel Ellsberg seems to suggest the difficulty of speaking truth to power.
NEED TO IMAGINE
Indoctrination may be called the short-circuiting of imagination by outside intrusion.
WHEN LEGISLATORS ARE THE OBSTRUCTION
In the US democracy has been associated with capitalism. This is an erroneous framing by hierarchical Establishment that supports the capitalistic interest in power and control as opposed to the democratic local-community participation by the public. In the USA the authoritarian governing style of hierarchical capitalism is a foundation for dictatorship. In other words, the USA has lost the ability to lead or innovate. And so we need to notice success in other nations pertaining to public self-empowerment.

And by US, one means us, not USA.
What won’t money buy in the USA of material stuff, power, and influence. Not much. The same doesn’t apply to human rights or environmental rights, in which the opposite seems to be the FACT.

Power can be derived from the allure of wealth while other power is derived from integrity. Eventually the pain to the electorate from bedazzlement of wealth may be replaced by recognition of power as a result of integrity. It’s like turning an ocean liner.
