Still dissatisfied, I'm as certain now as in that first blog post I wrote last December, that concerted action is the function that can achieve the critical mass needed for change. I vowed to write, and I will continue to do so.
After this post (my 50th), I've decided to stop writing as "I'm dissatisfied". As dissatisfied as I am, I've realized (partly through writing on this blog) that the ideas that come from understanding and questioning my dissatisfaction are more important than the dissatisfaction itself. Therefore, I've begun a new blog based on an idea born out of my dissatisfaction.
Purple is an inclusive conceptual coalition: neither red or blue, liberal or conservative, right or left. It's not a party but a work coalition because we need to collaborate to solve the problems we face individually and collectively at all scales of society.
The self-evident truths and unalienable rights referenced in the U.S. Declaration of Independence (equality, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) are not secured by our government as envisioned. Unfortunately, "...all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." - The U.S. Declaration of Independence.
Hopefully, to guarantee the rights and promote the truth, members of the purple-coalition will live up to the promise of support that ends the Declaration: "we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
