For REAL DEMOCRACY

Hey, Fellow Americans, in order for America to remain a Democracy, you’re going to have to give up your fantasies and your alternate universe and your propensity to blame and hate “others" and to be afraid. Not only Democracy but any kind of real life is demanding and requires a lots of attention, honesty, courage, self-restraint, and a willingness to pay for it from each of us. Real Democracy requires an educated population (Jefferson: The "Nation that expects to be ignorant and free expects what never was and never will be") and we have - thanks to the Republicans - been deliberately dumbing down America. See other blog. Real Democracy requires still more - that you do your share and cooperate and compromise and take care of others and be fair and tell the truth about life. And, above all, Real Democracy requires you ALWAYS TO VOTE - ALWAYS!!! and to be as well educated and informed as you possibly can and to keep at it. The Fox News / Republicanism / TeaParty lies and fantasies and ugliness need to be left behind and in a hurry too. It’s time to grow up because time is running out for America, and when our Democracy goes, so will your guns. The folks taking them away won't want you to have any weapons! Time is also running out for your planet - you know, where your children and grand children will have to live ...IF THEY CAN...
