Frankly, too much wealth in the hands of the exclusive few is dangerous...

[tex-wyo-dem]

To democracy, especially when those exclusive few have a lot to gain by buying influence and manipulating the political and legal system.

That is the unfortunate situation we find ourselves in today. The well of our democracy has been poisoned by the likes of the Bushes and the Kochs who possess more wealth than God, who have no problem using their influence to gain everything they want while putting the rest of us and the entire planet in danger.

It's the oligarchy...and this story is as old as the hills.

1. Doh!

Who can't get that now? We tried to get something close to Democracy, and here we are.

When you accept it and know it is a given, we are at the most pivotal, dangerous and meaningful juncture in history. We either get that and react in a way that is appropriate, or we could consider learning to love and embrace our condition along with the slavery of our kind along with a potentially short-term life-expectancy for our species and the rest of the creatures that we share our planet with, right now.

This is the endgame and it does not lightly demand anything other than our total commitment, sincere action, and even the idea of putting our very live on the line for the sake of the outcome, whether we like that idea or not. Keep in mind that a slave owner does not want his/her property to make itself useless by its own hands, whatever method it chooses to do so.

4. Thanks for asking,

but I think that, as you read here and other places and make a sincere and concerted effort to break-out of the Matrix, the way that is appropriate will naturally emerge for you and you will connect with others, in various ways, that will substantiate your understanding.

I would not be one to tell you what is appropriate, yet I can suggest that there is an appropriate way and leave you to discern the why and how of it. That is not evasion, but respect.

Intelligence, to me, is also about knowing just where you are and knowing what to do when you are there. Who am I tell tell you more about that natural and intrinsic process? Trust yourself, maybe?
