People who have their lives in order and may be getting bored often like to praise the virtues of chaos and the opportunities to be found in that state. Well, with this new wrecking ball approach to government, the good news is, if there is any truth at all to the virtues of chaos the opportunities should be opening up rapidly.  This writer’s relationship with chaos is a whole lot less sanguine.  In previous posts I have warned against the use of raw power because a raw powered wrecking ball will always carry a ‘power tax’ to the user and this nation is going to pay a mighty high ‘power tax‘ in the very near future. 

When this Project talks about Nurturance Community, the reader numbers sink a little.  I suspect it is because a lot of people are almost obsessively focused on the current careless, wreckless, chaotic power displays and less focused in the long term recovery of democracy and culture.  The new minority party seems to be sorting through the yesterday’s broken pieces of strategy and language hoping to hobble something together before the next elections. That approach may not work.  This Project will let the reader numbers sink a touch if that is what is needed because sometimes singing in the choir and moving to a nimble quintet is required. The solution won’t be found in the scrap heap of past failed efforts, but rather our position for the future can only be found by looking to the light that we have left.  That glow out there is called the future and that future is illuminated through our youth.  Us elders can and must help, but we aren’t the future.  The Good Decision proposes the Nurturance Community, a revamped Vocational Community and the new Mentors to represent the shape of our future built around a radical revision of priorities for community, culture, politics and spirituality. The energy of the next vision must highlight not ours, but our next generation’s opportunities and health.  Stay tuned, for while the wrecking ball wrecks, we can redesign and show up refreshed at the polls voting for the next seven generations instead of the most recent 100 billionaires. That would be really good.
