Carlyle!

Your ideas may not seem so revolutionary in context, but the idea that you are talking about them and making them available for your voters to see, THAT IS REVOLUTION.

I too agree that we need to break down the system and to rebuild it. From scratch.

I don’t feel that anyone was wrong in building the current system the way it is right now, because really, as a society we were just guessing as to how it should be. But now we know that lots of things don’t work, and a few things that do.

It’s like Ben Franklin and the light bulb. He managed to discover 212 ways of how NOT to make a light bulb. But he only needed to learn ONE way to make a light bulb. This process of elimination and determination got him there.

What we need now, is to recognize that our process of elimination has gotten to extensive and we need to know down the janga tower and start over with what we know works and doesn’t.

Thank you for your thoughts and ideas! I will spread them everywhere :)
