say <strong>the</strong>y are indiscernible, <strong>the</strong>y are integrating two o<strong>the</strong>r ideas in order to discard <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
Greens may be <strong>the</strong> newer party but <strong>the</strong>y are still just an old response to old issues. In<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r words, is it more about doing it <strong>the</strong> Green way or NOT doing it <strong>the</strong> Republicrat<br />
way? Few would argue that Greens, if in power, would create a better effect for <strong>the</strong> world<br />
as a whole, but that ideal qualifier is not considered by most; Hawkish behavior makes<br />
for a more entertaining The Government Show (an essay unto itself) than peace <strong>and</strong><br />
harmony.<br />
Greens <strong>and</strong> Democrats are probably seen as <strong>the</strong> same by Republicans as well…<br />
This 3 (2) way grudge match is zero sum. It's less <strong>and</strong> less process <strong>and</strong> more <strong>and</strong> more<br />
spectacle. The Direct Democracy perspective is so far beyond <strong>the</strong> spectacle that I can<br />
look at it objectively <strong>and</strong> accuse <strong>the</strong>m all of being ill-conceived, subjectively well<br />
intentioned, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore useless to <strong>the</strong> planet as a whole. Call me a bleeding heart<br />
liberal treehugger; fact is, my life depends on <strong>the</strong> biosphere, not a billion dollar a day<br />
military budget. Greens <strong>and</strong> I agree <strong>the</strong>re, but we part ways on how to go about spending<br />
a billion a day on a sustainable infrastructure, health care, education etc…<br />
I know why <strong>the</strong> right hates <strong>the</strong> left <strong>and</strong> left right. Each contains stupid people who ruin it<br />
for <strong>the</strong> reasonable/humble/aware/not-too-attached-to-labels crowd.<br />
While conservatives, liberals <strong>and</strong> greens are busying <strong>the</strong>mselves with popularity, failing<br />
to acknowledge <strong>the</strong> valid points of all, <strong>the</strong>re are people unsatisfied with any party asking,<br />
"hey, y'know, maybe politicians, parties <strong>and</strong> three branches aren't necessary?"<br />
Is your view really that of any party? Aren't <strong>the</strong>re factions of your party or representatives<br />
that you don't want to be associated with because, in consensus reality, you're seen as that<br />
jerk too?<br />
"Well what's <strong>the</strong> alternative? Communism, anarchy, monarchy, tyranny, oligarchy, blah<br />
blah blah…ALL OLD IDEAS!<br />
If I said "LETS BURN THE CONSTITUTION" – figuratively of course – some would<br />
say how unpatriotic that notion is. O<strong>the</strong>rs would say <strong>the</strong> current political system is doing<br />
just that. America is <strong>the</strong> result of people being proactively intolerant of <strong>the</strong>ir current<br />
social system. <strong>For</strong>tunately for <strong>the</strong>m a pristine l<strong>and</strong> was available for exodus, needing only<br />
genocide <strong>and</strong> slavery to get <strong>the</strong>m on <strong>the</strong>ir feet. They brought with <strong>the</strong>m some old ideas<br />
along with <strong>the</strong>ir ideal. Clearly native tribes of both continents were going to have to deal<br />
with "new."<br />
Tribal warfare was replaced with alliances with <strong>the</strong> invaders. The culture clash made old<br />
new; that is, permaculture for us – guns <strong>and</strong> smallpox for <strong>the</strong>m. I mention this because<br />
history can <strong>and</strong> must repeat itself except all <strong>the</strong> bad stuff that goes with a revolution<br />
needn't happen.
