Another World Is Possible
The US is moving away, deliberately or not, from our overrated position of being the strongest imperial super-power — both militarily and economically — that the world has ever known. I say “overrated” because being an empire has not done a good job of generating real happiness, health, justice, and safety. If we want better […]
This year, my holiday greeting is Healthy New Year! My biggest wish is for everyone to have great motivation to do what we all can do uniquely — and in solidarity — for a better world, especially for those people whose days of birth happened much later than our own. What can we do? Many crucial steps […]
This blog is in two sections, first, a look at why state propositions were approved or not, and then a look forward toward solutions we actually can implement starting in 2021. My November blog email “Why landslide for Democratic PRESIDENT, and majority for Republican PROPOSITIONS?” received 60-some thought-provoking responses. People agreed that many voters were […]
Why do you think California voted overwhelmingly — by a margin of 30 points — for the Democratic PRESIDENTIAL candidate Joe Biden over Republican Donald Trump, at the same time that California voted more in line with Republican endorsements than with Democratic endorsements on state PROPOSITIONS?

In the August edition of my monthly blog, HERE, I asked that voters consider a way to “Stop Trump, and pressure for what you do want!” In response, I received a lot of strong opinions and I’m grateful that most opinions were expressed with civility! Take a look at the REFERENCES at the end, with […]
PLEASE SHARE THIS so that family, friends, and colleagues can consider making their votes count as much as possible in this year of pandemics and protests, peril and possibility. To say we do not all agree on how to vote this year is an understatement! The following process may help maximize the power of our […]
There Are Solutions is my favorite political slogan, and in this year of crisis 2020 there are many solutions in the air. One of my favorite political quotes is by Thoreau, “If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations […]
The reality of someone having a billion dollars is almost impossible to grasp. You change one little letter in millionaire, from an “m” to a “b” and what’s the big deal? Why even think about it? We think about it because when we have billionaires, we have a big problem for democracy, which is government […]
