America’s politics of epiphany

[DLH]

Epiphany is an “Aha!” moment. As a literary device, epiphany (pronounced ih-pif–uh-nee) is the moment when a character is suddenly struck with a life-changing realization which changes the rest of the story. Often, an epiphany begins with a small, everyday occurrence or experience.

I was never deeply into Politics until Obama became President and Harper became the Canadian Prime Minister.  What really interested me was how grown Men and Women behaved when they got a taste of Power and Authority when elected to play the “GAME” of “Politics”.  These people are supposed to represent the Tax Payers Interests and the Well Being of the Nation as a whole.  No parts, people, ethnic group, culture, environment, economy, etc., should be ignored or shunned at the expense of greed, corruption and vote-ability. 

But that’s what’s happening and has been happening now for more then 20 plus years at an alarm rated and level. Yes, it was happening well before that, but Political Parties, in general, had more integrity way back when and tended to cooperate with the opposing party when it really affected the Nation and Publics well being and interests.  That’s not the case anymore.  Most people voting think things will get better when so and so gets voted in because his or her platform addresses the Nations and Public interests.

Reality Check!  You need mature conscious Politicians, and I don’t mean one or two. There needs to be a majority of conscious selfless Politian’s from all sides of the aisle to cooperate and put aside their differences and agendas. Only then can a Government take care of the people, the Nation and the World.

Unfortunately, most of us, and most Politian’s are not conscious enough to see reality for what it is.  The Political and Media rhetoric and sensationalism, the anger towards others, finger pointing, ignorance and "Drama" will continue for a very long time until the Political Train Crashes.  I hate to say it, but the Train Crash is not going to happen soon enough.  The simmering Pot-of-shit hasn’t boiled over the edge of the Pot yet to put out the fire beneath it!

The following News article I have attached really puts things into perspective. Not only US Politics, but also most other Countries in the world, other than some of the Scandinavian Countries, which seem to be a little more conscious then the rest of ours…..

It’s well worth a read….

Just thoughts and beliefs!
