Fix the Internet and the Government

 First rule of programs: GIGO, garbage in garbage out. There is no "garbage filter" on the social media internet. Free speech limits "yelling fire" in a theater. It limits libel. And Facebook and twitter, etc. are mostly just gossip. We are a society exchanging lies, stupidity, and obfuscation, as well as thieves, and foreign governments trying to undermine our "government". I don't know how to filter for "morality" and even 'legality'. I do know that if you let garbage be your main product you'll get customers and spread garbage to the unaware, poorly educated, and viciously self-pitying. Education has failed us. Economics has failed us. Government has failed us. The internet has failed us. We need to fix them and the society will improve. What's the chance? Minimum. An improvement in the Government is possible, but improbable: assocactualdemocracy.com .

Trump'sgone, Back to Reality, Damn..

 Our Representatives fight hard for power. They fight hard for progress, progress in a base level of economic security. Nobody should fear hunger, homelessness, and ignorance for their lifetime and for their children. Power is bought and sold in Washington, as it has been for 10,000 years of civilization. Strong men arise with promises and Revolutions must remove them. Then the removers prove "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" and revolution after revolution we have proven autocrats are for autocrats, kings are for the Nobility, Representatives are for the rich who bribe them. We must change the FORM of government. Throughout history hope has stimulated each generation that they will get good government. After 10,000 years we must see that none have worked. People must directly govern themselves. An Actual Democracy, where public debate leads to voting, directly on laws, not on 'others', Representatives, wise men, our superiors, the power hungry elite. We're doomed, unless we work for a rational, scientific, humane, world. Know anybody doing that?

Work for Actual Democracy, talk about the need for people to control their own lives and vote for laws, Presidents and Judges and don't have them pushed down our throats' and serve "The Man", not us. The whole world of governments take money from the people and steal 20% of it. And give us little for the Money. War gets 20% of money in the world. Think it have some return on that investment. Death, it just brings more death. Pestilence and Death, poverty and ignorance. Will we ever stop it. We don't have to love each other but we can at least quit punishing each other for being alive too and having children too. "They come and take your job. They are the enemy. We need cheap labor that lives for nothing and can't read, talk, or ask for justice.

Take control of life. Get us out of the concrete jungle where red of tooth and claw is the only way of life. Get humane and quit getting lies and get results. Vote for your life to be controlled by you. Vote for laws, Executives, and Judges; vote for sanity, truth, justice, equality, vote for humanity.

Arrest, Try, and Punish Trump and his Enablers...

At 78 I've been through a fair swath of America's history. And, I even know how to read, and I have. Things like H.G. Wells 'Outline of History', Arnold Toynbee's history, probably 50 years ago. Personally I heard Truman speak, Eisenhauer, Edward R. Morrow, etc. And I've watched the 'lunatic fringe' get oligarch money and become the 'Tea Party' Republicans. Then the Tea Party Republicans become Trumpster Republicans. It was still the Lunatic Fringe, with its leader a full blooded lunatic. The rule of law was destroyed. The Deep State of Federal employees was replaced by the Shallow state of uneducated stupid, lunatic fringe 'acting' administrators. America failed. It failed badly. We were lucky Trump was such an inherent fool and lunatic. I know Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, etc. all took over governments and countries and that their harm is still all around us. If we let Trump go unpunished, untried, for all his crimes, America will never stay a vital Country on the way to a more perfect nation. Never. Without law you don't have anything except dictators. Time for us to choose. Don't punish the Republicans, try and convict them for their crimes against our country and against our Constitution. Good men don't do what they did! But they will again, or others will again, if we aren't adherents to the equal application of the law. Arrest and try Trump, and probably others, in the Federal Courts.  

Response to MYT article on "going forward".

What is "forward"? As in Biden can lead us "forward". The end point, "a more prefect nation" hasn't been defined and the method of getting there hasn't been defined. We are like children climbing a hill. We don't know why, it's harder than walking around, and we don't know what we should do when we get there. To me forward is a base minimum income, if you want more get a job, work hard, do it well, contribute, and make a few dollars more. So better and more secure economics. Protected "life, liberty, and property" that can't be taken away without "due process of law": charges, indictments, proof, jury or scientific measurements, and equally applied to all people, no matter how who they are, what they look like, how much power they do or don't have. Equal chances to get educated, to learn the wonder and glory of the Universe of things and of people. And how to get them and give them and share them and want them for everybody  

To raise children in a secure home with a secure food, clothing, and shelter and the chance to guide them, laugh with them, teach them and learn from them, to laugh and cry, sing and dance, give and get with them and from them. 

Good Riddance Donald Trump and Republican Traitors

 The Republican party and Donald Trump advocated the violent overthrow of the United States Government. They took part in the attempt to overthrow the government just as the Russian government was overthrown in 1917 and the German government in 1933, by occupying the seat of government and removing the elected legislative representatives of the government. The Republicans were, and as far as I can tell, still advocating the Republican take over of the government, by any means. They whish to make the Republicans the rulers of America, the controllers of the treasury, the courts, and the laws. They are not safe, honest, or faithful to the Constitution. Danger walks the halls of the Republican National Committee. Vigilance, and voting, are the cost of freedom.

Resonse to Trumps Insurrection.

 Dennis v U.S. 1951, It is illegal to advocate the violent overthrow of the government, under the 1940 Smith Act. The incoming Attorney General must arrest, convict, and imprison Trump and Cruz, and all who advocated the violet overthrow of our government. Defend the Constitution.

We are under siege by those who deny democracy should remain our form government, those who want a Dictator, Monarch, Ruler. "We are now engaged in a great civil war" to determine if democracy can long endure.

Armed insurrectionists, supporters who acted to destroy our democracy, in support of the Republican advocates of the violent overthrow of our government because Trump would be King and they would be his Princes of power.

We will not accept this rebellion, this take over, this destruction, this stupidity, this Republican Party backing a fool to lead us into slavery and destroy our freedoms. Votes count. Elections count. These are expressions the Republicans have used and are now turning turning on its head. Stand against this repudiation, attack, destruction of our Nation. Armed insurrection must be opposed with all our power, hopes, fears, and truth. Stop this Republican back armed attempt to steal our nation, our future, and our hopes for a "more perfect Nation".

Trump and sedition Jan. 6th, 2021.

There was the 1917 Communist take over of the Czars government by the people invading the seat Government and throwing out the Representatives. And the 1933 Nazis invasion of their Legislative building and dragging out their Representatives. We were just lucky that Trump is 3 times dumber and three times more cowardly than Lenin and Hitler and didn't help plan the takeover but "hinted" at it thinking "his followers" would know how to take over a government and keep the Electoral Colleges results to be verified and Biden declared the winner. Trump is just incompetent at every thing he had a chance to take over America, by force, but didn't want to guide it because 1: he didn't know how, 2. He was afraid he'd fail. So, naturally, with his kean leadership skills, he failed. I'm simply advocating not giving power to people who have no government or executive experience, and who might have some small understanding of what a democracy is and how it works. We got lucky we got a fool and coward for our would be Dictator for Life. An uncontrollable bright President would have simply stopped the election, instead of opposing it's result. Just lucky, because the Republicans are all for taking over power and to hell with law and order; and justice and freedom and America. Stay vigilant America, it's the cost of freedom.  

Poor people made to wait much longer to vote, NYT 1/4/2021

 Oh my. You mean people of color or living in poverty are treated poorly, contemptuously, inhumanely, in the United States, especially on election day? Here's news: that has been going on for two 4 hundred years. It has been supported by the Supreme Court: remember Dred Scott decision? I think Dred Scott was a cited precedent in "Citizens United". Blacks, Indians, Foreigners are not people, they are animals to be bought and sold by the rich and famous, and don't you forget it. We say "equal before the law, due process of law, and shoot blacks down in the streets! Hell of place America: the police go unpunished for murdering our citizens. And you take umbrage over the poor being made to wait to vote. In 1960, 100 years after the 13th, 14th,and 15th Amendments were written, we had to pass a "right to vote" civil rights act! A HUNDRED years later. 94 years later we finally said the black citizens of the United States were entitled to GO To SCHOOL. It caused riots in the streets that the Government, a century after the civil war, where 600,000 Americans died to end slavery, said the African American Citizens of this nation were entitled to GO TO SCHOOL. 160 years after those Amendments, we still have a vicious attitude toward Indians, blacks, foreigners, people who look different, talk different, are different. America is NOT the land of the free and the home of the brave. We are prejudiced, stupid, lawless, and believe we are superior. Will we ever grow up?
