Reinforce success, not failure

And voting is the main way to do it in the USA America. And voting’s effects will apply quicker, like over a decade or so, if more citizens vote at all levels, to include school boards, cities, counties, states, and federal.

The main idea is that most citizens will vote for their own interests, and their family’s interests, and their futures. Why else would most busy citizens take the time to filter out all the sales pitches presented to them by all the media means available, which are extensive these days in USA America.

I suspect that certain types of political leaders will “bubble” to the top over the coming decades. Those who value facts and truth and offer perspective, and then supporting laws that support the same, will gather an increasing influence if the voting citizens believe them. Whether that influence is to make things better, or just survive the problems from our past, is too hard to predict. In the end, the elected politicians who attempt to represent their voting constituents will predominate, as in get reelected. In other words, we the people are the solution, not the elected politicians we have chosen in our past. Now that is a big change from the last decades, like since the 1950’s.

Reinforcing success suggests supporting two ideas. One is that our USA American Constitution is worth both protecting, and enhancing. Second is that enhancing suggests starting again some amendment ideas, like a balanced budget amendment at the federal level, and term limits for legislators at all levels. After all we have already term limited our federal President, so why not our federal legislators?

Since this common citizen is not a politician, nor ever aspired to such a position, I still offer why I use the expression “USA American”. Mostly I want to differentiate between us and the rest of the new world, which I hope is the face of the future for humanity.

And things are not all doom and gloom. As much friction and criticism our USA American education establishment deserves, the difference between the highly educated citizens and the basically educated citizens is declining, I think. To me, most of we common citizens are able to have a respectable quality of life, which is special in this present human world. One has only to live overseas from the USA to best understand this idea.

Now of course it could be we USA Americans we have “dumbed down” all to get there, but maybe something else is going on, too. Let the voters decide based on their lives and results. Mostly the results are quality of life and happiness.

So, to conclude, I suggest we reinforce success, not failure. And the best way to do that is to vote, at all levels, school board, city, county, state, and federal.

Now there are other alternatives, like royalty, dictatorships, oligarchies; well you decide. Just who is going to impose their will, the citizens, or the rulers at the time? And are whoever is in charge at the time going to reinforce success, or failure?

On such questions are revolts and revolutions and civil wars made.
