Ask most people and they will give you different answers about the best form of government.
I had my Uncles father-in-law tell me one time that the communist system was best.
I have heard people proclaim no government at all is best.
However every society from the most primitive to the most advanced has had government of some sort. Ideally such government would and should protect us from each other. However any government should do more. It should guarantee all it's people (human beings not artificial creations) shelter, education, health care, enough food and the opportunity to contribute to the well being of each other. That is the minimum that any government should do. Other things like building bridges, providing refuge to those who flee other governments because of lack of work, education, housing or justice and provide a public forum for all. I invite everyone to comment and add ideas for a better government. Remember the smaller and more open the government the better. Do we need ten thousand laws in order to govern our self?

Today
Today the political party with two heads has long since passed it's usefulness for the rest of us. The Republicrat Party and the Democran Party (same/same) are a conduit of bribes for the extreme rich. Neither despite their rhetoric do anything for the common people unless forced into it by the common peoples extreme anger. However they take bills written by and for the rich, and pass them for the money. The best thing is to outlaw these parties and outlaw such activities.
Going along with my first rant today is the forever status of corporations. We have gone from a United States which revolted over the granting of a corporation with exclusive power to handle all trade between all the colonies and any other part of the world. They had also Gave to Congress the sole power to create money. Today the big banks create money and the hell with us. It's time to break up the big banks, the big communication companies and the big oil companies. All these act in criminal manner with no danger of any meaningful punishment. The best way is to strip them of corporate charters. That and jail the people who made the criminal decisions.
We need to force the revocation of the anti Bill of Rights measures in the Patriot Act and the NDAA, or jail the people who have violated the constitution or both.
We need to do away with the CIA/NSA who seemingly are above the law as well.
One of the best and safest ways to bring peace to the world is to limit the department of War to it's Constitutional limit of defending against invasion of this nation. Our military today is projecting legally or not our military presence and in many cases undeclared war over 110 other sovereign nations.

Rights
Today with the President thinking of executing another American by drone I have to ask, What about that persons Constitutional Rights?
Today with cop's doing illegal warrant less searches, what about the persons Constitutional Rights?
Today with our government bugging our phones/collecting, e-mail, mail and phone data, What about our Constitutional Rights?
Today with the poLICE using force and dubious devised reasons for arresting people for peaceful demonstration or demanding redress of grievance, What about our Constitutional Rights?
Today with all our Media being owned and operated for profit by a handful of people, How can we trust the TV/magazine/newspaper news any more.
Today when the two major political parties are owned and operated by and for a small handful of people, how do we get our voices heard?
Today when banks can and do foreclose when that bank does not have the mortgage and doesn't know who does, what about our right to shelter?
Today with the cutback of food stamps, what about our right to food?
How many people have even read all of our rights, both under the Constitution and under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which is a treaty we are party to?

Elders Wisdom: The mark of a good leader is not his leading into war or
controlling of a large army or police force. The mark of a good leader
is he/she who empowers the people so that armies and police are not
needed. The person who finds ways to meet the needs of his/her people
without use of fear or lies. The person who leads by example instead of
soothing words.

Today
Today is important. Today is the day you can do something to bring peace to the world, honesty to government and justice to America.
Talk to everyone you encounter. Discus what you would like to see changed in the world, what services and assistance you would like to see provided to minorities, small business, women, medical needs and even community needs.
Write down every idea you hear, come up with yourself or borrow from other sources including ideas for peace, the environment, government both local and national, education or housing. Then share your list with others. Ask others to share the list after they add ides of their own. Get together and discuss the ideas and how they could come about. Include elders, children, homeless or whatever in the discussion. When you get ideas that resonate with everyone, take them public along with how they could come into being.
This is what democracy is all about. Each and every one of us having a voice in making decisions and a voice in the decisions that effect each and every one of us. Not just in your community, state, region but in the Nation and the world.
Enjoy the friends you make as you do this and remember it's your world too.

Nuclear Weapons
The Nuclear Arsenal is the ultimate terror and war
crime weapon ever invented.It doesn't provide
security, it's existence is justified by the most
stupid logic ever. It's very purpose for years and
years has been MAD (mutual assured destruction) which
deserves the name MAD as whoever came up with it to
justify these terror weapons had to be certifiably
insane. As did the politicians who went along with the
destruction of our Mother the Earth and all her
children as a policy. Just think the reason for the
weapons is to leave Earth as a burned out lifeless
shell. Pass it on.
