“One lives a good life through making good decisions and continually going to that place in you where you find your good.”

The Next Democracy

Given the critical times we are in this Project has proposed a very short, succinct body of language to re-introduce the idea of democracy to the 21st Century. We no longer can afford to compete for points on the scale of mutual hatred. We must find language that addresses the critical stress point of democracy in our world today.

  • Good, Debate, Lies, and Moral Equivalency

    When did it happen that a person could prevail in a debate simply because that person got away with the most effective lies, omissions, and immoral moral equivalencies? If you watched the US political debates this year, there must have… Continue reading

  • Good, Inconvenient Truth, and the Clearcut of Human Services

    With the current administration no one can predict with any certainty what is going to happen. The pre election promises and proposals imply a concerted effort to clearcut segments of human supports and services. Remember what we learned after achieving… Continue reading

  • Good, Gender, Abortion, and the Danger of Mixed Memes

    Initially many of us spent a bit of time wondering what a ‘meme’ was, but after a while it was too late in smart company to actually ask: ‘what the heck is a meme?’ without appearing a little dull. We… Continue reading

  • Good, Tolerance and the Boulder of Violence

    This Project’s focus on good cannot have much validity unless we address the edges of tolerance and intolerance.  The world has too much evidence of intolerable violence in motion right now.  Our country is going to be pushed to the… Continue reading

  • Good, Suffering, and the Reconstruction of a Culture

    This nation of the United States appears to this writer to have a medical system that leads in the world in reducing the experience of physical pain.  The tragic irony is the United States just might also be a world… Continue reading

  • Good, the Inventory of Loss, and Resistance

    The Morning After This writer predicted that half our nation would be suffering grief no matter who won the election. I am now in the minority of grief while apparently a majority are celebrating. This is called democracy, and presumably… Continue reading

  • Good, Duty of Witness, and the Nation’s Next Story

    This concludes this election series of posts. In not too long the votes will be counted and possibly be in the process of being recounted and re-recounted. The possibility of violence exists coming from the transfer of power; a feeling… Continue reading

  • Good, Fascism, Socialism and Play Ground Insults

    Lobbing gross insults across the line is a pathetic way to run a campaign. We hear people shouting ‘fascist’, ‘socialist’, ‘communist’ and so forth while many have only a vague idea of what is contained in these exchanges.  The current acceptance… Continue reading
