Today dream is tomorow reality...This is our dream...WE BUILD OUR SOCIETY ...one member at the time...

   "No man is an iland, intire of it self; every man is a peece of The Continent, a part of the maine; If a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Man-nor of thy friends or of thine owne were;
Any man death diminishes me, because I am involve in Mankinde;
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee..."
                                                                                               Ernest Hemingway


Mitt Romney will run for President representing GOP and Francois Hollande is the new French President...
Two piece of info that mean so much...having in mind that they represent two political and economic policies, diametrically different as they come...
Europe is under Conservative rule implementing austerity measures more or less since the Global Stock Market crash in 2008...
Francois Hollande run against Conservative Sarkozy, against austerity, he run on platform of few peculiar anti austerity measures: increasing the minimum wage, increasing the Social safety net by hiring, putting money in ordinary people pocket directly, but not by borrowing in order to stimulate the french economy, but by taxing the wealthy who make over one million euro with tax rate of 75%...
We on the other hand, we witnessing a spectacle of unprecedented Media Propaganda Warfare...
We as people are under siege: Corporate Media saturate the air with cleverly design commercials that glorify one candidate and vilify the other...they don't present information, they taking side...they chew the data for us, and give us all the talking points like a bid on the betting score...
Both Party are playing political games "we are right, and they are wrong"...
No time to doubt...red or blue...time to pick a side...
Red or Blue, the Questions is now...Red or blue...no purple...
How to make a decision between Red and Blue? What can be sanity test between them?
How to make a distinction if you are not economist, if you are not politically savvy?
How to make a decision and practice your civil right to vote and participate in our democracy?
My response is simple: The next President will shape our way of life for Generations to come, shaping the politics that will change:
- the way we educate our children,
- how we provide health care to everyone in our Society without discrimination,
- our will to commit portion of our resources to our safety net: social security and basic welfare...

Let dissect every one of those standpoint on red vs blue...


EDUCATION
Education is escalator for the future...
In this time and age on global competition on the World Market only a Nation that invest in Human Capital aka Education can really prosper.
We all agree that Education is not just ticket to higher wages and climbing the middle class ladder...its about building a Nation of critical thinkers who will contribute in betterment of everyone lives creating new innovations..
The question we need answer to is how do we make higher education available to every child that wanna pursuit excellence?
- tuition that every student should bootstrap himself to get it on his own or with government help...
- administration processing fee as admission to any college in the country on the merits of prior scholar accomplishments...After all "Mind is a terrible thing to waste"...
HEALTH CARE
Let get this cat out of the bag: I don't like ObamaCare...
I like it as much as i like my medical insurance... expensive beside that don't provide me with care i really need cause have all sort of obstacle, caps, limitation and deduction...
But its all i have, and beat the hell out of NoneCare...
The question of Health Care is not pro or against ObamaCare, nor the question is privilege or human right...au contraire...
The question is:
- everyone should be responsible for its own health care providers coverage on a open Market;
- should everyone be incorporated under one system of health care that will provide medical assistance to everyone who need it...
SOCIAL SECURITY AND WELFARE
In reality Social Security is retirement income for many people, their saving that they are counting on when they get older & ages slow them up.Pension of a sort...
The question of Social Security is not the question of system deficit, or percentage of contribution, nor participation... its a question of the age of retirement...
Is being seventy better choice to retire...is seventy truly the new sixty?
On the other side we have mass of our citizen that need assistance to make the ends meet...most of them do work...
The question of Welfare is not who should be eligible, nor the layers that build the strata of Government assistance, nor the term limits of it...the question of Welfare is why people who work still need Government assistance...
Can we set standard of living that will dignify everyone work?
Can we set a standard of living no working man can go below?

How we answer those question depend of what we believe in...
Who Are we as people...it's 21 Century...we come so much ahead of the Stone age when Druid dance under the moon and pray for rain...What do we believe in today?
Do we aspire to go ahead of our time, do we look upon the stars...or we can only find solace in the past glory of generation long gone?
Do we belief that part of us will never be whole if we left half of us in the gutter of poverty...
Do we belief that people who are willing to work eight hours, five days a week deserve wages that will never send them on food stamp support? Can we set the working man free of need for Church, charity of State assistance...can we give back the working man a dignity of Independence?
Do we belief our kids need an equal shoot, not cause of pure natural sperm selection or their zip code of birth...but cause they are willing to learn and excel?
This isn't a time to doubt...it's time to search one soul and stand for its beliefs...what do we belief in?
Some of us wanna grow the pie..they believe that Growth will somehow set the things strait...Grow the pie...ever wonder maybe we need to better the ingredient we use to make the pie, add nutrition rather then make it bigger, sweet & shallow!
This upcoming election it's a choice of beliefs, not who can sale better commercial or propaganda...
After this election we as a Nation will have to live with Consequences of our choices...there will be no etch a sketch option after a month, there will be Laws pass trough Congress and sigh by the President, Laws that we will have to obey and live by it Generation to come...
Its a choice where we wanna live in: in a Human Serengeti where only the strongest survive, and all the rest are left behind to slowly but surly become oblivion...Social Darwinism of highest order...or we can acknowledge that no man is an island on its own and that we can build better Society then Human Serengeti...
We are the one who build our Society...
I believe that Future is never in the past...it's always ahead...new time offer new solutions...its up to us to catch up with the changes that the horizon offers...we just need to board a train that will take us there...
Instead of living in the past, instead of cherish what was normal or good yesterday, we should look what are the options today... get on board of a Maglev train...
I don't wanna be slave owner who feel good cause he never use a whip to control his slaves... I don't wanna be slave owner...period!
I believe all people are created equal,and we should treat them as equal...principle not slogan...
I don't accept that we cant build better society on few basic principles...I accept even less the excuse that we have no money to do so...
Money are not obstacle to solve any problem in any Society...money don't build houses...human hands build a house from bottom up...Money are never obstacle...they are illusion, a whip that modern day slave owners use to control people today...
Think about it...not long a go we print so much money to safe Wall Street, to cover projected profitability of banks...trillions and trillions of dollars, every State, not just us...Europe...
We could have build Eden on Earth with them...
Money are not obstacle to build anything...our core beliefs are obstacle to build better Society... Take the money out of equation and let see the naked Human: What is his values when his strip of his possession?
What is left of him is what make him Human...ability to love and care.
We Humans created money in the dawn of time to easily exchange values of our good and services, now money exchange values of us as Human...illusion...money, race, religion, sex, gender...all bricks we create and hang around our neck...
We are not able to fly and liberate our souls cause they holding us back...
I believe that people are good by its Nature. Deep inside we are all the same..on the surface our blood seems blue,but cut will reveille its bloody red...
I believe that we can perfect every issue that is cause of animosity among us if we agree on basics with mutual consensus..
I believe that we can't control the forces of nature, that accident will happen but those things, those basic thing are our choice to make...
We are the one who build our Society... It's Human to love, not to hate...it's deeply Human to care, not to fight... to laugh not to cry...to enjoy art, not destruction...to sing, not to torture...to dance not to stump upon...
We are better then any species that ever walk the face of the Earth cause its deeply human to live and help each other as one...That care lift us above any animal, that ability to understand one another
We can spend days and years in discussing the tools we can use in order to get there, how to accomplish our basic goals, but to start the debate we must agree on those core basics...
We gonna build any Society if
1. We agree that children need equal opportunity to pursuit education,
2. Sick need undeniable health care,
3. Elders need granted retirement and
4. We can afford to provide to every family higher then minimum level standard of living...
Its a start...Are you in?
