                The ''comments" app for this blog has disappeared and I have no way to replace it. However, several of the associated blogs still have each have an active "comments" app which you may use.

Your Common Law

We live and thrive better with our knowledge of Common Law. It helps us to live and thrive in greater clarity. Its empowering. With a couple of viewings of this video you will understand common law more usefully than do most of us.

Talking Better is Getting Better

Use Them or Lose Them

                                                        The best way to keep our constitutional rights is by using them. The best way to defend our rights is by using them. It is our responsibility to protect our rights. We have a right to co-operate. We do not co-operate well when we are disorganized. Our right to organize includes our working people. We are in this together. We are the only ones around to protect the laws and rights we have claimed.

                                                                                                    rcs

We Can Do Democracy

 Governance With RCS: YouTube tells that I cannot show this video with  R. Nadar in Colombia.

                

             It seems that someone belives we are not all ready to practice self-governance. They are probably right.

 I'll repeat what I had to some time ago about this nice little video:

                Forty years of lack of practice are resulting in loss of our hard one democracy. We have passed our governance into the hands of others and now we are passing into superfluoueness. Do we believe ourselves useless?

                I suggested to U.S. citizens that a reread of Our Declaration of Indepence may be useful. When we do not use it we lose it.

                Nadar is reminding us of that which we can do. Listen carefully for what can be done. He says that it takes only about 1% of us to be strongly effective an I believe that he is correct. However, if we will not teach 20% of us to do democracy we may not deserve it.

                We can learn to do it by doing it, has been said. I have heard it said that "practice makes perfect."  I do not believe that; however, from experience, I know it helps. Who has told us the meaning of democracy and how we can work it? Know matter, we can find out for ourselves.

                We already know something about co-operation, and some of us have usefuk ideas about democratic organization. We have begun on the way to taking care of ourselves and that is the way of self-governance. 

                We can learn how to more effectively co-operate and organize. Some of our grand- parents and great grandparents did. 

                Some of our youth have good ideas of freedom: freedom to claim duties, freedom to claim rights, freedom to claim free communication, free elections, and more. And they already know that very little comes to us without a cost.

                Check the meaning of superfluous and of democracy.
