Transform, Part II
It is much easier to point out a problem than it is
to imagine a possible solution, and it is much easier to resolve a problem in
your imagination than it is to formulate an actual plan to deal with it.
Even more difficult is implementation, and the
difficulty increases by an order of magnitude as the number of people increases
who have to be trained and oriented to the task at hand.
The most difficult thing of all is to evaluate your
work and progress, this is made even more difficult when the goal is fluid, requiring
a dynamic process of evaluation and change re-evaluation.
In order for us to come through the era of COVID-19
as a whole and functioning society, we are going to have to transform, we are
going to have to have a plan, we are going to have to work together, and we are
going to have to face the fact that the goal, more than being fluid is actually
unknown.
We do not yet know where we are going, because we
do not know the full scope of the problem, we are going to have to stay active,
exercising our imagination in an ever changing present, forecasting our way to
an ever changing end, evaluating and re-evaluating, imaging and re-imaging the
path forward.
Nothing good will come from this experience so long
as we are lying to ourselves about the scope of the problem, and deceiving one
another to satisfy our petty egos and indominable IDs.
The first step we have to take is to admit to ourselves
that we are all in this together, we need each other to make it through.
The next thing we have to do, and I mean WE the
people of the United State of America, is to take control of our government, to
make it work for us, not the political class, and the top 10% of money earners
and wealth hoarders.
We have the power to demand the change we need to
see happen, we can do it if we stick together, and over the next six months we
have to focus on that task.
Many of us are out of work, we have more free time
than we have had in a long time. Let’s get out there and win this election for
the people.
Let’s pass Universal Health Care, let’s pass a Green
New Deal, let’s pass Universal Education, let’s rebuild America, wipe out debt,
repurpose empty office buildings to house the homeless, get our fellow American’s
off the streets.
We can do it, we can return America to the people,
we don’t have to put the top 10% of the money hoarders in the poor house, but
we do need them to pay.
Our government is meant to represent the will of
the people, by the people, for the people, of the people. We have to stand up
as the majority and demand that the government exercise its mandate, to defend
us from this virus and all the nasty things that will flow from this era of economic
collapse and uncertainty, to promote the general welfare, and to ensure the
blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.
