Where you can torque a document, written for a world so different technologically from where we are now, to support aberrations to the intentions of the founders, what are we to do? System-change is in order, but how to get to that? We're better at understanding the problem than at coming up with solutions to the question I lead with: "If you ran, the world, what would you do?" Thom, why don't you open that question to us? How can we-the-people do an end-run around government to deal with changing our worldview to where we would care about each other as much as we care about ourselves, and how about collecting a dossier of what people who are good-hearted would do?

Thom still promotes capitalism, I believe. What we need is more socialism, and less capitalism. Capitalism is greed, and leads to inequality, injustice, and the accumulation of wealth and power upwards. This is proven. We can see it with our own eyes.

It's end stage capitalism where it's hung on past its due date. Nobody with their head on straight would argue with that. Best to not think in labels , though, for what to do. And I like my suggestion to Thom, to open a dialogue, but he isn't very open to suggestions.
