Politics and Culture - American Profiles In Radical Independence

 
“I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Politics and Culture - June 2011

From Left Field: Decisions Concerning War

June 29th 2011 09:50
There is no greater decision for a man or woman in a position of leadership to make than the decision to engage in or stand against war.

In a modern culture addicted to quick and concise decisions it’s become far too easy for many people in the conversation to take complex issues and bundle them into yes or no answers

Contradictions in the Conversation

June 26th 2011 09:33
Part of the price that comes with living in a society that hold’s the importance of convenience over the basic principles of common sense is dealing with the destruction caused by contradictions used as societal facts.

When it comes to dealing with the greatest concerns that exist in the world; solutions that begin with the greatest intentions consistently move to the forefront of conversation but the final message always gets screwed up somewhere along the way

From Left Field: Extreme Expectations

June 22nd 2011 09:00
In the history of mankind there has been no greater threat to the survival of the human race than the use of extremes to replace the sweetness of simplicity.

The kind of simplicity that comes from common sense approaches has been replaced by the use of extreme language and bravado in a world where it’s becoming harder and harder for individuals to have their voices heard

Running Around in Circles to Find the Same Solutions

June 19th 2011 11:40
After watching last week’s New Hampshire Republican Debate to begin the process of nominating the next man or woman to run for the office of President of the United States of America, under the Republican banner, I am convinced now more than ever that the decision has been made for our nation to continue running around in circles.

A decision representative of all the mistakes that lead to the current disastrous state of the world economy, the nuclear fiasco that is still happening in Japan, a food crisis that is not being met with solutions, a freshwater crisis around the globe and the lack of knowledge among the populous about the depth of the growing mess that is happening under their noses

The Entitled Generation

June 12th 2011 12:05
A generation that grew up without the threat of social or physical conflict from war has now been entrusted with what some would consider the impossible task of fixing the messes of those who came before.

A task that asks a generation centuries removed from the turmoil caused from a global slave trade and centuries of oppression to somehow come up with solutions that will change the world

From Left Field: “Making a Difference”

June 8th 2011 13:01
In a world ruled by extremes and obstacles that appear to be un-movable it’s become far too easy for the majority of civilization to sit on their hands and think they are making a difference.

All my life I have had to deal with stereotypes

The Naked Truth and the Well Dressed Lie

June 5th 2011 14:46
Part of the unspoken agreement that comes with living in an industrialized society is the false expectation that all members must live within a continuous web of lies to shield a closet full of ugly truths.

Lies dressed up in the finest clothes as fabrications about the level of danger citizens living in modern society face on a daily basis and the hollow words from politicians that continue to deliver promises about keeping things the way they are or making things like they were without asking supporters to make crucial sacrifices

From Left Field: “Failing to Ask the Tough Questions”

June 1st 2011 12:48
All across the United States of America the effects of an election year are beginning to pollute what should be logical conversations.

Conversations that require a tough approach in order to solve problems that should have been taken care of decades ago have been replaced by the simple two letter word “No
