Well, to begin with it's just the two of us seeing what we start to generate. I'll do my thing and you do yours- and if by chance we start to create something that leads to us getting to that place where we really want to go then tramps like us hey maybe we were born to blog. Here are some basic points that fall under the rubric of what are we trying to do and why:
First a few whys:
- The basics of mainstream politics, business, corporate media, and the over-riding influence and corruption of all of these by the effect of the Military Industrial and Congressional Incumbency Complex is strangling the potential for legitimate Democratic (on all levels I.E. social, economic, and political) mobilization on the part of and in the best interests of the vast majority of Americans.
- Many people are out there who would like to see fundamental change in this ongoing and worsening reality are frustrated, isolated, ineffectual, and left to follow the sham of our every four year ritual of choosing and executive branch administration where all potential "serious" choices are pre-screened for us by wealth, the global corporate grid, and those who benefit disproportionately from the current setup of things as if it's just another contrived sporting mega event- albeit with more insipidly false advertising.
- Any legitimately progressive voice or agenda is by fiat (of the mainstream corporate technocrats at the control panel of our options) and definition already "outside the realm of legitimate debate.
And as for what we are supposed to do about this depressing and deteriorating state of our American Democracy:
- First off, there are plenty of people out there who are already doing inspired work on numerous effing levels in opposition to the reality of our collective situation. With regards to them we want to identify them and make contact with them and propose to them our fundamental proposals as far as what we ought to be trying to do. These are somewhat clearly articulated at www.dialogdemocracy.org but...
- Another big thing we got to do is for me, with the help of you Soolay Brew (the new and now most hippest pronunciation of the "Bro or Bruh" colloquialism- trust me on this point) and any one else who joins our effort is to make that dialogD Web Site a full functioning organizing and fundraising Web Presence related to all to all of what, again, we are trying to build this thing into.
There is much more to add to this, obviously. But right now I am just excited to be actually feeling like I am getting into the thought of actually doing something and not just mulling things around or writing with no real reader out there.
