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.
I am sorry, YouTube tells me that this Martin Luther King and Gandhi video is no longer available when published in Colombia.
We do not know enough about Martin Luther King and his deep love for our ideals. How many of his hundreds of speeches have you read or listened to? How many in those in the year or so before he was assassinated?
We need to redevelop our agile political minds to keep a bit of freedom. Among the critical practices we must learn to practice are governance, and politics. Governing ourselves means taking care of ourselves. Governing ourselves as a culture, society, and political body if not done by us is not done. We learn to take care of ourselves individually. To take care of a culture takes a lot of us and there are a lot of us. Do you really crave to be governed by a person you have never met. Has your club taught you to organize to govern? has your union, your political party, your city council, your uncle, your mother, your father. Have they all abdicated republicanism and democracy? How many civic classes have you been given that teach much more than the bare bones of present government's formal structure how many in organization? How many have you taken? Your education is not given; it must be taken.
