The first & most important community we live in is local. The family compound and the village existed before the kingdom, the empire, or the republic. If we don’t get ‘local’ right we won’t get anything right. Do you agree or disagree, or is there something more important to be said? Let me know.

Local Government – Vital, and Unfit for Purpose
History and experience persuade me that local government is the most important government we all live with, no matter where we live.

The UCP Government of Alberta often emotes about non-issues, perhaps because they are incapable of dealing with real and substantial issues.

This is akin to Pearl Harbour for Iran. For the USA, the Pearl Harbour shoe is on the other foot.

As humans, each of us who is not immediately within their grasp is being humiliated by Israel, which is degrading humanity in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. It makes some of us, but not enough of us, angry.

Democracy has died in the USA. Some good people are trying artificial respiration. Many others are standing in silence, hoping for a resurrection. American democracy didn’t die in one fatal event. It didn’t even die of 1,000 small cuts, although these were administered in the final hours.

The President of the USA has absolutely no interest in the nation except as a stage on which to distract his audience while he, or his family and/or his friends of the moment work a grift or advance an agenda of plutocracy.

It is a mistake to explore any of the President’s words or actions as though they prioritize the ‘good’ of the USA, however anyone imagines he conceives it. The man has absolutely no interest in the nation except as a stage on which to play out his petty rages or on which to create a distraction.

Elon Musk is about to learn that any company “too big to fail” is usually, eventually, too big to succeed. The world may soon discover the same truth about a country “too big to fail”

It is a mistake to name the President of the US. (1) Naming him is oxygen. “I don’t care what you say about me, as long as you mention my name.” (2)
His enablers will still be there when he is gone. They need to be tied, now, to the as yet unknown consequences. “The Republican administration”.
