SUPPORT PEOPLE, NOT RULERS
It is a tragic fact that America, the beautiful Hope of the rest of humanity, usually chooses the wrong world leaders to support. This is due to our own fundamentalist close-mindedness, egotistical stubbornness, and self-deluding naïveté about life. It is also because, no matter what our glorious Constitution, Bill of Rights, and good-hearted American Myth say....our nation's crucial decisions are still made for extremely short-sighted, immorally pragmatic, and greedy financial reasons. It is entirely possible for us to support oppressed people who rise-up against every corrupt and evil dictatorship...but then those who are really in power in America would lose money, and we would all have to sacrifice immediate comforts. Can you imagine how the overwhelming majority of people on earth would react towards America, if we actually helped them, rather than their rulers? What a lovely dream.

My blog is for vulnerable communication from my heart, mind, and spirit, meant to touch readers who are passionate about creativity, art, life, and cultures.... Nastiness and personal attack are expressions of bitterness, not meaningful communication. The internet drowns in negativity, but not this site....Thoughtful criticism, however, is not negative, but an affirmation of ideals, hopes, and caring. Positive comments are more useful if they are not meant for my ego, but to share compassion and love....Thanks for reading, feeling, and sharing.
