Are Americans Unready to Boil?
(6 comments) Sometimes the greed and arrogance of Ruling Classes makes them careless and social waters heat too quickly. Sensing doom, alert citizen-frogs escape or revolt. Or they stay complacent and boil. In colonial America the greedy British motivated our Revolutionary War, but with oppression now coming from within, will Americans wait too long?

Americans Unready to Revolt, Despite Revolting Conditions
(36 comments) The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal national poll results vividly show a population incredibly dissatisfied with their nation's political system. In other countries in other times such a depressing level of confidence in government would send a signal to those running the government that a major upheaval is imminent. But not here in the USA. Why?

Open Letter to Congressman Ron Paul
(12 comments) In last night's debate among Republican presidential candidates you proudly described yourself as a "champion of the Constitution." However, you are missing a major opportunity to demonstrate your courage and allegiance to our constitutional republic. More than virtually any other member of Congress, you should appreciate the wisdom of the Framers in giving us the Article V convention option.

The Evils of Lesser Evil Voting
(23 comments) With many progressives regretting giving Democrats a majority in Congress and many conservatives regretting putting George W. Bush in the White House, it is timely to refute lesser evil logic. The deadly decline of American democracy results in large measure from lesser evil voters electing lesser evil politicians. We will only get the best government by voting for the best candidates. Otherwise, we get what we deserve.

Finding Hope In A Dismal World

Economic Armageddon Is Coming
(9 comments) Unjustified and mounting economic inequality is planting the seeds for global economic conflict. What the future holds: Lower Class economic slaves fighting to survive in a medieval, ugly and bleak world that so many science fiction stories have portrayed. In that hell their best option will be to rise up and revolt against the rich and powerful Upper Class.

Time to Write A Gingrich Wrong
(2 comments) Few Americans have heard of the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment. In 1995 under pressure from the pompous and nefarious Newt Gingrich the small agency was de-funded. Clearly, Gingrich wanted to eliminate good science and objective thinking from policymaking and George W. Bush has carried on that mindset. Spend a few minutes looking into OTA and then tell your Senators and Representatives to restore OTA.

From Economic Apartheid to Political Revolution
Do most Americans really believe that the game is not rigged by rich powerful elites to preferentially benefit them? As certain as the law of gravity, the game IS rigged, and more than ever. When will the stranglehold of the Upper Class on the political system that criminally distorts the economic system be busted? When will Lower Class consumers that drive the economy revolt?

How Bloomberg Can Become President
(5 comments) Running as an independent, third party candidate and relying solely on his own money, Michael Bloomberg definitely can win the presidency in 2008 – if he follows my advice. With his own vast wealth and honesty he can single handily revitalize America's political system. We need a breath of fresh air after the bipartisan stink that has fouled our nation for far too long.

Democracy Dreaming
(4 comments) America was given a representative democracy within a constitutional republic where laws that protect all people trump majority rule. Standing between majority-won elections and government power are elected representatives: writing, overseeing and implementing laws. But when you can no longer trust the elected representatives what happens to American democracy? It becomes an oxymoron.

Taking Democracy Seriously
(2 comments) Voting is the heart of a healthy democracy. With our persistent low voter turnout, the heart of American democracy is barely beating. Five reforms can dramatically re-energize voting in America. They could be placed in one constitutional amendment and ratified by the states in time for the 2008 presidential election.
