You can govern yourself. You can govern with others. You can learn about political planks and political platforms, how to do governance, and about political organization. It's about active citizenship, civics, a more perfect union, and we the people. It's about participation. So, the focus of these many posts is on democracy, justice, citizenship, governance, co-operation, and democracy.
Do we feel incapable?
Do we no longer know how?
What is it?
Don't we want a republic?
Are we no longer interested in democracy?
Why have we put our military in the hands of others?
Why do we no longer have a citizen army or military of any kind?
Why did we give up our war powers?
Why do we no longer teach our children or youth civics and governance?
Why have we surrendered our very word to others?
What does citizenship mean to us now?
Who are "we?"
Where is our education for governance?
If we just give up most of our children won't even be useful as slaves. How will they be able to take care of themselves. Does it not seem that we are living in denial. Are we unwilling to see reality? How do we go about maintaining a we?
Have you co-operated locally?
Do you have any questions?
Do you have any answers?

What happened to the teaching of civics and government? Are parents doing the teaching? Is it really true that we are no longer willing to govern ourselves? Has democracy just become a waste of time. Do we really love becoming serfs and slaves? Why are we unwilling to take responsibility for our own governance? My whom do you expect to be governed.
What does government mean to you. If you don't do it yourself its them that does.
You can be ready, willing, and able to govern democratically if you decide to. There is some learning and enough help and cooperation if you look for it, but does it make sense? What are the likely results of abdication?
