Throwing the Political Dog a Bone

As a Child of the 70’s who has stood in Opposition of My Peers and Community Elders Establishment it should come to no surprise to both sides of the political spectrum in Washington that I speak out about the issues facing the Children of the 21^st Century and Their Elected Officials. For why I recognize the problems faced by the current Administration and Congress given the position of the Loyal Opposition, knowing that many on the Left and Right are acting out of the same Fear and Ignorance that forced the Elders and Powers-that-Be of the 70’s to intercede in the Public Discourse of the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s allow me the Freedom and Courage to speak frankly about the Bold Experiment set forth by the Founding Fathers of America.

For one who still does not believe that it is wrong to look at the Cup of Life as being Half-Empty or Half-Full, but realizes that the Cup of Life does not exist in a vacuum. I can accept the new National 35 MPG Average proposed by President Obama and the Democratic lead Congress as being Politically Correct. Even though Common Sense and Common Wisdom dictates that if the Average American was able to purchase a car or truck designed to get 25 MPG when gasoline was still $.99 cents a gallon as the price of fuel goes above $2.00/gallon in order to Protect and Serve the Purchase Power of the American Consumer, Small Business Owner, and Taxpayer the average American should be able to buy a new vehicle that will let them keep the same ratio of usage. So without stepping on the toes of My Peers lack of understanding how to build a Sustainable World of know the same Common Knowledge as Their Children let me throw the Political Dog a bone in Hope that even the Followers of Al Qaeda and the Members of the NO-nothing Party can discover the Common Ground needed by the Government and Society of Man to lay the Foundation that will put the Human Race on the Path to the Promise Land.

Because why I was told 30 years ago that I was not old enough to confront the Hopes and Dreams of the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s to build a Better World, I know now why the Idea that I am now not young enough to confront the Hopes and Dreams of the Children of the 21^st Century to build a Better World than Their Parents surely will be enough to confuse even the most Conservative or Liberal of Man. Yet, is a burden that I am ready to accept freely and openly as proof to My Elders and Powers-that-Be that a Man of Limited Intellect has enough Faith in the Natural Course of Human Events to allow the Forces of Man and Nature Authority over what is to be. In view of the fact that even on my best day I am unable and unequipped to explain how and why the Individual MPG of Things matters to the average citizen being able to keep and maintain the Wealth accumulated in their Lifetime.

 

Yet, just as Common Knowledge forces me to admit that the American Auto Worker has been mass producing cars and trucks designed to get 25 MPG since the mid-1990’s so it forces me to recognize that many of My Democratic and Republican Peers lacks the Self-Intellect to know that the technology exists today to make an American Transportation System that will allow the Nation to boast that it can achieve a National MPG Average of 100 in the next 10 years. For even though the Law of Man prevents me from taking part in such a Political Movement or burden the Government and Society of Man with such technology. Given the Unbridled Right to prove to My Peers Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders that it is possible using the Accumulated Knowledge and Wisdom of the last 30 years, let me invoke My Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights as an Unlearned Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature in order to prove the Impossible of Man can be achieved by the Freewill and Self-Nature of the Children of the 21^st Century using the Principles and Standards found in the Documents of America and Humanity.

 

Because why I’m not going to comment on how that I know one of the keys that lead to a Better Future rest in the Hands of Those Who Are more powerful than me. Nor am I crazy enough to say that the Arguments held by My Democratic and Republican Peers against Their Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders does not matter. As having walked with a different Drummer and taking the time to learn why Parents must always remain Adults, all I can do is look at Grandma and Grandpa in bewilderment as I see Their Children stand up to Their Parents’ Authority to be Ignorant about building the Self-Sustainable Green Society the Children of the 60’s an Early 70’s were not or could not overcome as Their Generations took to the Streets to demand that those who choose to lead the Human Race follow the words that they preach. Even this Anti-Authoritarian of Freewill and Self-Nature has to set in Silence over the Power of the Human Race and the Cardinal Knowledge and the Wisdom of the Founding Fathers of America and the Ancient Ones of Songs.

 

However, seeing that an “Individual MPG Average” is a word that can represent the amount of energy required to make something made by man work and that it can be converted to electricity output I do believe that the Architectures of Society can find the Common Ground needed to lay the Foundation of Government and Society so that they are better able to handle this thing called Generational Change. Because why I’m not saying that it is easy to build an Uncivilized World, I have to take My Hat Off to those Citizens who claim to be Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders and willing to fight the fight of Their Heritage in order to discovering how to keep having Peaceful Revolutions, For why I am not sure if President Obama and the Americans Barons like Mr. T. Boone Pickens by themselves can go around this tine strong arming the Leaders of Other Nations into listening to Common Sense and Conventional Wisdom. I am sure that with the help of “We the People” in Charge of  the Leaders of Commerce and Industry (both Public and Private) can explain to the Charlatans and Vagabonds of Society what the American Consumer, Small Business Owner, and Taxpayer needs, expect, and require by a Government and Society that many of My Peers say cannot be built. For starting dollar for dollar, does anyone care to debate me that if an Individual was able to self-invest in the Individual MPG Average of Things that make up the things built by Man Government and Society would have no choice but to recognize them as being Self-Sufficient? So why somebody is going to have to explain to me what the Individual MPG Average of an electric car would be if none of the electricity was made from fossil fuel. I could understand if at this time that why it is a whole lot more work than the Left and Right want to do in order to get their heads around the subject. But seeing one can go over 300 miles on a tank full of gas, I do believe that the American Auto Worker could build a Zero Weight 100% Electric Car powered by Man-made wind if given the full Support of the Government and Management capable of giving its owner the pleasure of an endless (within reason) supply of Individual MPG Averages.

 

Yes, Authority has a Double Edge Sword; and though until the Democratic and Republican Leaders of America and Humanity decided to build a Bridge to the Future at the turn of the Last Century, there was no call for Change from the Status Quo. And why I have no problem in allowing My Peers and Their Children of the 21^st Century to invest in building an American Transportation System that would put the Barons of the mid 1800’s to shame. Knowing My Peers and Community Elders will Call the Ball long before I do, My Hope and Dreams are that both My Democratic and Republican Brothers and Sisters can set aside those issues that separate Their Parents’ and Grandparents’ Hardliners long enough to give the White House and Congress direction so that they may get back to the Business of “We the People.”

 

Because why I still have no dog in the fight between Americas’ Democratic and Republican Leaders or as an American Layman Citizen conspire with the Loyal Opposition of Politics or the Establishment. It can be said that the signs of the time, they are changing. And though a small step forward, given the fact that the Present Administration was left in a Pit of Debt and Obligations the Ideology of increase the Self-Worth of every American by using the Taxpayers Money to invest in the new National 35 MPG Average in the next six years toward the Future of building an Energy Independent by the President and Congress of the United States of America. For given the unlimited opportunities to increase the Individual MPG Averages of the American Consumer and Small Business Owner through the Products and Services of Private and Non-Profit Commerce and Industry I am sure that is more than enough Added Value to the Dollar to offset the cost and lose of wages in Labor and Management as America looks to become a Global Service Society based on the Political Philosophy that together the Individual, the Nation, and the Society can become Self-Sufficient from the Chains that keep “We the People” confined to the Limit of the Sky. I do believe in view of the fact that whether one cares to believe it or not, America has already turned away from the Ideology of the Race to the Bottom and embraced the need to properly address the Issues of Man that has seen the Followers of Civilization turn once again against the Government and Society that has given by Freewill them Unalienable Right to be Wrong as a Human that Mans’ Known Universe has been forever expanded.

Having spent the last month working on some articles I hope that you can use the information to promote a debate between the Left and Right that is more productive than the one going on now between the Democratic Party and the No-Nothing Party trying to take over the Republican Party. For why I want to hear the Argument of Stupidity held by the Children of the 70's Children. Realizing that some on the Left and Right of Society are still stuck on the Argument of Stupidity held by the Youth of the 60's and Silver Spoons of the 70's. It is My Intent and Wishes that the following insight will give My Peers, Community Elders, and Powers-that-Be insight into the Cardinal Knowledge and Wisdom held by Their Children.

For why I stand in Loyal Opposition to President Obama and Congress over the issue of America becoming Energy Independent. Looking at the year 2099 I do not believe the Charlatans and Vagabonds of Today or Tomorrow can find refuge in the Knowledge and Wisdom held by the Charlatans and Vagabonds of Yesterday. Since now All Other Loyal Opposition of My Peers seem to believe that the Children of the 21st Century lack the ability  to build a Better World than the Youth of the 60's and Silver Spoons of the 70's or the capability to address the Issues of Man  that others including their parents say are impossible to solve.

Because from Energy Independence to Poverty, I see no other Course of Action than to allow Commerce and Industry to make Government and Society Self-Sufficient.  Since I do believe that Man & Woman in America and Humanity really do not want me to win the Race to the Bottom.




Entering the Political Thunder Dome

Asked by the media a few weeks ago if I thought President Obama could lead the World out of the economic crisis let me enter the Political Thunder Dome so that I may freely express my personal opinion on the subject. For what if Congress would have passed a $3.6 trillion dollar Federal Investment Plan and the American Automotive Manufactures delivered to the Whitehouse a politically viable solution that would show how to make America Energy Independent before the G-20 Summit. Would we even be having this conversation now?

Yes, why I will allow My Community Elders and Peers explain why they do not want me to take the Political Argument of Man any further. However, seeing that some in America and Humanity still cannot or do not see the Wisdom of given President Obama and the Children of the 21^st Century the Societal Tools they will need to pass on to Their Children’s Children the same opportunities given to the Youth of the 60’s and 70’s. Allow me the pleasure of removing All Doubt about Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders Freewill and Pure Stubbornness (and that is saying it nicely) to build the Hierarchy of Society and Parents of the Human Race a Better World.

Yes, told by My Community Elders and Peers to keep Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders honest and within the frame work of the Founding Documents set forth by the Founding Fathers of America and the Ancient Ones of Songs I’ll allow My Community Elders and Peers explain why Americas’ Elected Officials can call a report one thing and this American Layman Citizen can get away with calling the same report by a different name; however, seeing that there is those Citizens in America and Humanity that doubt the Power of “We the People” to change the World for the Betterment of Mankind. Permit me to say to My Fellow Children of the 70’s that this is a Fun Game in Deed.

For why personally I do not care if the Bad Boys of Detroit want to keep building cars powered by foreign oil. Bottom line as part of “We the Corporation they work for “We the People” do they not? So as such I do believe that the new models they show the Establishment and the American Public better be capable of getting America off foreign oil. For why it will not only help lower the level of pollutants in the air everybody breaths, but with a modified version of the GM Volt Power Plant to provide the Government and Societal Fleets as well as the family car the ability to sell to the power grid excess electricity. The creation of a new income for the American Consumer and Small Business Owner by Private Enterprise will help lower the burden on Labor and Management in meeting today’s demands. Will it not? So to answer the media boldly, yes President Obama and Congress can lead the World out of the economic crisis if “We the People” act like Ladies and Gentlemen of Logic and Reason and leave the Argument of Stupidity for My Community Elders and Peers to figure out.

Answering My Peers Challenge

Holding an Unbreakable Argument against My Peers Authority over their Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders I’ll let the Children of the 21^st Century debate their parents and community elders over Mans’ Ability to build a Zero Weight 100% Traction Vehicle powered by man-made wind and Zero Emission Power Plants built out of the concept of 4 wind mills and a wind tunnel. For given the opportunity to discover a new source of Personal Income through the Vision of President Obama and implementing it with the Pickens Plan, I have heard that lone voice of a Conservative cry in the Wilderness that they want to be on the other side of that debate. So please, allow me to answer My Peers Challenge and show the Phantom Enemies of America and Humanity that they are wrong about the Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders and Citizens being able to build a Sustainable World.

For why I am not sure exactly what it will cost to Retool Americas’ Service Based Economy from a Disposal Society to what My Peers and Their Children will desire. Limited to a Self-Sufficient Sustainable Green Society, I do believe that My Peers and Community Elders will draw the line at me making every 10-Year-Old Child $1,000,000.00 a year for at that point who needs Parents. I wonder if those on Wall Street would care to explain how they can expand the National and Global Economy without a new viable energy system that does not rely on fossil fuel. Because why I may not agree with the way President Obama and the American Barons are going about making Government and Society Self-Sufficient, having grown up learning to spin through that argument I doubt if My Peers and Their Children will find it to unbearable to think of ways for Commerce and Industry to help them come Self-Sufficient. Knowing that every American is going to need about an additional $500.00 per month for the next 10 years to cover the $10 trillion dollar debt; I wonder if Rush and Company would care to say that it is wrong for a Citizen to get paid for driving up Main Street and down Wall Street in the near future.

No, I’m not going to tell President Obama, Congress, and My Peers what they should do or yell at the Children of the 21^st Century own Argument of Stupidity. Hell, I’m not even going to tell the Powers-that-Be that if they do not build a Self-Sufficient Sustainable Green Civilized World that the Human Race will fail the Test of Time. However, able to voice My Personal Opinion freely allow me to say what I would do if Your Parents and Grandparents permitted me to cross that line that separates Man from Beast. For protected by Limited Funds, I’m not going to say President Obama and Congress should not order the American Automotive Industry to mass produce the 250 million plus cars and trucks equipped with a modified version of the GM power plant that does not rely on fossil fuel. Because considering that Government and Society Fleets make up the biggest share of those numbers, I wonder if under the Proper National and Global Guidance how much energy that many electric cars can produce given the American Love to Drive. Since knowing that every 20 mega Watt of Electricity produced and sold for a $.05/kWh equals $1,000,000.00, I do believe that in fairness to everyone the Bad Boys of Detroit could stick a torn if they were to design a vehicle that matched those numbers with the average mileage driven per year by an American.

So I ask the lone voice in the Wilderness how wise is it not to be on the other side of that Argument? Because why that is only the point of what Life Lesson, I do hope you can see why America must steer away from the Race to the Bottom and work as Individuals, a Nation, and a Society to aim Government and Society toward a Sustainable Green Civilized World. For having spoken with many of the Children of the 21^st Century I can’t see where they have a problem with helping to make every American Economically Viable and Financially Independent. For why I may have the right to have it all, I have Faith in My Peers and Their Children to be wise in how they use their Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders in order to clam the Political Winds of Change.

Just Because We the People Can

Not wanting to rag on groups like Al Qaeda and the No-Nothing Party, but having heard the lone voices lost in the Wilderness cry out for political justice allow me to point out to My Democratic and Republican Peers and Powers-that-Be that Americans were told they would have to change from the Disposable Society of the 1970’s into a Society to be determined by My Peers and Their Children. Since, as an American Gentleman who told the Children of the 70’s that I would stop at nothing to prove to My Community Elders and Powers-that-Be it is possible for a Simple Man to make every American Citizen economically viable and financially independent. I do believe that it is in the inherent best interest of all if I allow Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leadership and your Peers to explain why this Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature is forbidden by the Laws of Man and Nature to make every 10-year-old Child on Earth a million dollars a year. Because why My Peers may have the Unalienable Right to be Ignorant of building a Sustainable Society, tell me President Obama and the Children of the 21^st Century cannot or should not change Americas’ Government and Society from the Disposable Society of the 70’s to a Nation and Society seeking to discover the building a Self-Sustainable World. For why the Vision of an electric car that can actually pay you to drive up Main Street and down Wall Street may seem like a dream in the far off distance. Having taking My Civil and Constitutional Liberties a little further just because “We the People” can I do believe that a cleaning of the Spirits will help My Peers and Their Children see the Path they must Travel.

Because why it may be easy for this Simple Man to build a Self-Sustainable World, knowing that it is My Peers Wishes to get their Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders learn how to build a Self-Sufficient Sustainable Green Civilized Government and Society that can make Every American economically viable and financially independent. As an American Man, I have to respect the limitations placed by the Founding Fathers of America and the Ancient Ones of Songs found in the Upanishads of Sanskrit, seeing that I cannot tell President Obama, Congress, and the Children of the 21^st Century that they are Politically Wrong wanting to take the Public Debate of America down the Path of Enlightenment toward the Promise Land.

For not knowing the actual cost in dollars it will take to build a Better World, but knowing the Children of the 70’s and Their Children can fix the problems left to them by their parents some 30 years ago by learning the Life Lessons from the Sons and Daughters of the Great Depression. In all honesty, I have to say that it was the 1950’s that made America the Super Power she is today.

Challenging the American Citizen

Knowing that the Children of the 70’s and Their Children can use Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders plus Their Lawyers to do the following DOES NOT MEAN that the Wizards-that-Are and the Powers-that-Be are going to have the funds to magically reinvent the way “We the People” live our everyday life I want to challenge the American Citizen. For knowing that almost every American needs about $1,000.00 extra a month to become economically viable Consumers again, I wonder how much the Private Sector is willing to lose in order to maintain the Status Quo. For that is the only alternative I see being offered by both sides of the Political Coin?

No, in the next 100 days I would like to see My Republican Brothers stand up and demand from President Obama and the Democratic Leadership a better accounting of What Is and What Should be done to get the American Transportation Systems on the road to being Self-Sufficient. For why I know that it may seem crazy know, but why can’t American Industry build a tractor trailer that can run on the bio-waste generated at the Commercial and Industrial Complexes that they service. For it is with that type of Logic and Reason that America can say that they are dealing with two problems with one stone. Yes, haul my trash off and allow me to pay you in fuel may send chills down the spines of some; nevertheless, in using the Limited Resources every Generation is allotted I can think of worse things to do with the organic waste generated by Labor and Management doing their daily chores.

Because why I can see the day when the Home of Man has a walk-in Pantry that grows all the fresh fruit and vegetables for the family, having grown up respecting My Democratic and Republican Fathers and Grandparents Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights to be Ignorant of a Sustainable Society I hope that the Children of the 21^st Century realize why those Citizens over the Age of 70 are not looking forward to another Social Evolution with the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s failure to understand the meaning of “Limited Resources.” For like me, Knowing and Thinking is one thing, but what can I do in the next 5-10 years to get both sides of the Political Coin of Life to understand what a Better World means. Yet, that is the challenged faced by Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders as well as the Children of the 21^st Century. So how far can they push the Old School Democratic and Republicans to loosen the anchors that have kept America and Humanity headed to the Bottom of Government and Society.

Yes, the No-Nothing Party and Al Qaeda may have the guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights to believe Americans today are dumber than they were 30 years ago on things that matter; however, having stood up to Their Elders and Powers-that-Be a long time ago. I wonder how many Americans are ready to jump the same creek that Government and Society built a bridge over less than 10 years ago. For personally speaking, I want your Parents to hell off My Side of the Creek.

I Want It All

Why I can honestly tell the Youth of the 21^st Century that My Peers will not allow them to have it all. I’m not going to tell them that their grandchildren cannot have it all. For given the Argument of Generational Limited Resources and the Disposal Society that your parents agreed to build some 30 years ago, I do believe that you and your children will find it harder to convince the Elders and Powers-that-Be of the 21^st Century that Man can produce all the resources Government and Society needs to provide every citizen with all that they want and desire. So why “I want It All” may have been a Rebel Yell of the 1980’s, unless you can produce a Whiz-Kid that can prove to your parents and grandparents how they can produce gold out of thin air (Plasma to be PC) than America and Humanity will be governed by seeking ways for Individuals, a Nation, and a Society to become Self-Sufficient.

For would you give me a penny a pound for all the resources thrown in the landfills or alongside the road over the last 3000 years by Man. Since I know that a Robotic Rat could be designed and built in the near future to separate the organic and non-organic material as well as sort the non-organic material by its chemical composition. Because why I could make the argument that every Super Power of Yesteryear has been buried by its own garbage, the Historians and Scholars of Man can make the same argument by showing that these Nations ran out of resources needed by their citizens. So why the Left and Right can keep fighting over what “We the People” should do with all the Bling-Bling of the Disposable Society of the 70’s, I do believe My Peers Children will find it easier to show their parents and powers-that-be how to expand the Generation Limited Resources required by Commerce and Industry than fight them over the continuance of doing what Man has done for thousands of years with things that no longer suit his fancy.

Yes, many Americans now recycle, reuse, and reinvent new ways to use that which was consider trash by the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s; however, not knowing of a single community that can proclaim to have reached 100% Reclamation of Waste. I do believe that President Obama and Congress should put the Taxpayer Dollar to work so that “We the People” can find a few Political Viable Solutions over the next 20-40 years that allows the Private Sector to find new ways to use the trash created by Government and Society. For given the record of some of the Corporations of the 20^th Century, I do believe that the Left and Right of Society will find it next to impossible to say that Man cannot make a profit in collecting the trash of Individuals, Government, and Society and returning it back to Commerce and Industry so other products and goods can be created for I cannot even say what can be made by introducing some material to a Solar Plasma Furnace.

So please, why my intent is not to show your parents and grandparents how silly they have been over the years or to take sides in the Political Battle of Man. Given the Task to take on the Authority of My Peers and Powers-that-Be as well as those citizens over the age of 30, I hope that I can spark a debate between the Left and Right of Society on what is the best way forward. For able to prove groups like Al Qaeda and the No-nothing Party are hiding behind the apron of their Mother, I do believe that the lone voices lost in the Wilderness can and should challenge President Obama and the Democratic Leadership Vision for a Better World.
