Dear Future Leaders,
Whatever your campaign is based upon, please make a brave attempt to think outside "the issues" and in terms of the common man, the viability of the methods we here in the real world carry on to survive. Please consider issues the common man may not even know put him asunder, such as corporatism, media bias, terror-mongering, the global finance scams at the root of this real estate crisis and the crash that preceded it, or even just the thought that someday we may be as hard-up for food as we are for oil, due to the systems of production and distribution, and therefore control.
I hope that you would put forward some truth, and not simply pander to the general public's worries concerning high-interest loans, gay marriage and immigration. ... and how best to fight wars. Those who pay attention to your campaign should find themselves enlightened and intrigued by your platform, not merely placated.
What's wrong with our economy? We don't produce anything anymore! And if we do, our system is bested by countries who still educate their population and believe in innovation! Create a more rigorous education system that will turn out critically thinking individuals to innovate industry methods, instead of wage slave workhorses and business managers who will look to their CEO for innovation. The media is also a big problem; draining the population's wealth, time, mental capacity and manpower on useless entertainment that, when exported, only benefits a few companies, and a few industry hotspots' economies.
What's wrong with immigration? We're focusing on regulation, not human welfare. If America were truly the land of oppurtunity we would have an immigration branch of a Laborer's Protection Agency. Because if we had a group of people working as hard to protect laborer's rights as we do protecting the borders, we would not be worrying about illegals getting illegal work; we would be concerned with the illegal work!
While simplistic, these points bear repeating in the search for creative answers. There most certainly are people who would restrict your rights because of who you are. And without restricting their rights, but protecting all rights, we can actively defend the right to be frustrated, and promote it as a cultural value? Those who believe the sea is of co-cola and the world balances on the back of a stack of tortoises can argue 'til the cows come home, simply for their own gratification, and not for the winning of hearts and minds...
More to come, perhaps.
