We the People - social media social sculpture - involving artist in the imagining the future together, the future is watching and waiting for us

excerpt from note to Obama Transition team http://change.gov/page/s/contact

“ We are to guard against ourselves; not against ourselves as we are, but as we may be; for who can imagine what we may become under circumstances not now imaginable - Thomas Jefferson to Jedidiah Morse 1822 ” more Thomas Jefferson food for thought quotes

Obama needs to engage we the people if we are going to have a creative and humane society we artist need to be part of the conversation along with other stake holders in imagining the future - both on and off line - especially now that the government trust and economic melt down has created an even larger gap between rich and poor between the haves and the have nots - we need to energize individuals to feel like they are important and can do something in their/our own way in our/their own back yards too, to make a difference and one way is to have conversations with we the people and for we the people to do our part for the future we have to be fearless and stop pretending we are zombies and going along to get along even though we know its wrong - we have socially meaningful dialogs between ourselves and our leaders who are us about what concerns us and not just talk and complain but do something about it and flap our wings and change the direction or create a storm but put into action things which are not harmful to each other and to our planet our home - we have to be better guests - the future is watching and waiting for us

 don’t you just love it - i call it the politics of poverty - the poor have to bail out the rich - and the guy who ran one of the largest brooookerages is the guy who wanted 700 billion to play with no strings attached (3 page proposal) to bail out his cronies - the latest sweetened bailout is now 450 pages pure electioneering spin for the public soap opera - these guys in congress and big business and media are poor looooosers who want a bail out or else they will take the rest of us with them on their bumpy road to humpty dumpty meltdown land anyway - and just to refresh your memory these were the very same guys a few years ago who made it hard for the working folks to file for bankruptcy - there is more to this then meets the eye and why is this happening around election time i ask myself in you -  so who res-skews the rescueeeer

on the Politics of Poverty - there is a reason why there is so much poverty - “We the People” who make up this IdiotCracy/DemoCracy/Media-oh-Cracy on the backs of  the poor people the workers, the soldiers, the drones - we are like toilet paper - they use us up and throw us away - look at the people coming back from wars - the poor don’t want to be poor they not lazy they are some of the hardest workers around - they often work themselves to death and when i lived in brasil in 1992 people would work hard and at the end of the day would still not have made enough to feed their families - and with the price of this manufactured chaos of oil, food prices, banking meltdown its the poor around the world who feel it the most - this 700 billion buy out is also on the backs of the poor and the middle class if you haven’t figured out who the tax payers are - but the point is somebody benefits from poverty, war, violence, fear and its not “We the People” - it is said that the trade of kings was in war and propaganda - we have to stop pretending we are zombies and stop going along to get along -  and flap our mouths and wings and say what we know in our hearts - the power of one person is more then the power of none -

Thomas Jefferson knew very well that this was going to happen and wrote and spoke about it even on his death bed - he worried for us the children of the future

commentary: on Jeff pulver blog “Thoughts when asked: “What do YOU do?”

when people ask me what do i do it seems that lately what falls out of my mouth and mind is that i am a dreamer - i use to tell people i was a recovering artist but they looked at me somewhat strangely and lately i find myself in a state between dreaming and thinking and thinking i am dreaming and dreaming i am thinking and dreaming i am dreaming and thinking i am i think and then again sometimes i find that i am just thinking about the world and things and at other times i find myself dreaming about what a wonderful world it could be and then i wake up to find it was all too real and i go back to dreaming - hmmm row row row your boat life i but a dream
