Dear Readers:
Guest writer Patrick Kennedy, a true patriot and a man of great thought and conscience, has written a wonderful article in the most recent post on http://theglobalfuturist.blogspot.com/. I do not agree with all of his ideas, or even with some of the assumptions whcih have led him to these suggestions...but I believe that he is what democracy demands -- deep thought, questioning, debate and proposed solutions to real problems.
Democracy is a gift, but it requires maintenance, monitoring, vigiliance and vigorous and aggressive participation in order to to avoid a deterioration of feudalism or fascism. Are you are blamer, or a problem identifier and solver? Whether we are speaking of your marriage, your business partnership or your role as a citizen -- can you honestly say that you are participating in the "Honor Guard" which keeps democracy alive, and viable.
Too many blind followers and too few questioning, innovative problem-solvers, eventually leads to a society ripe for rape by the privileged amoral few. democracy requires independent critical thought, just as much as it requires motivated teamwork.
We need thinkers, doers and problem-solvers. Ther will always be plenty of fools and sycophants to cast their ballots in favor of whatever seems "stable, simple and popular."
Be reminded: Nothing great has even been accomplished without effort and resistance. The sun must always fight to shine through the clouds.
Read Mr. Kennedy's wonderful White Paper at THE GLOBAL FUTURIST (http://theglobalfuturist.blogspot.com/). And then think about who you would like to be in this new society which we are building through technologically-enhanced networking.
Faithfully,
Douglas Castle
