Just who is in charge

A pivotal time is underway. Though it will be not often reported and divined, now is the time to be a revolutionary, in a benign sort of way, of course.

Politics is about us, the citizens. Politics is not about the hard working politicians who are themselves. Politics is about we hard working citizens who do not choose to be a politician, but are selfish enough to demand results. Most of what citizens want is security for their family. This is universal. And none expect guarantees for outcome for their children and grandchildren, they just want opportunity for these same kids. After that, they are on their own, like normal. Welcome to being a revolutionary, Western style.

No way is the world of humanity close to communicating the differences between the east and the west. But the trends today are forcing this idea of friction between the two eastern and western ideas. Figure it out to one’s satisfaction, if one can. Most can’t, these days.

The American way is that we can figure it out, just by being ourselves. Though time will help, a lot. It will be interesting to see how Hindu family plotting and interncine societal politics balances with our more naive cultural practices. Of course the combination will be part of the melting pot idea. Good on the melting pot idea. And forget us. How will our American kids sort it out? Most "seniors" won't like it, be they here in America or in the "old" country, India. And of course, some new ideas go to failure. This could be the case.
