Politicians play with words; office holders use words to attempt to comply with Constitutional interpretations. Supreme Court jurists reason with them in order to twist meaning to comply with a 'Party-politics' view of the Constitution. I guess, the saddest thing in the world is the 'unreliable' use of language in a democracy. What can we depend on? Politicians use vacuous words to promise everything and when in office, do the contrary. Agencies stay within policy requirements of their agency and seek to enforce an ever-changing, nebulous Constitutional interpretation. Ah, but the Learned Brethern, the 'protectors' of our Constitution', use their great learning to 'create a hiatus' in the 'political winds' so that "legal fictions" can begin to usurp the "general welfare" of real individuals by giving then 'license' to be involved in the political process. How on earth did we get so stupid? Or maybe, its that the value of an economic system has replaced the value of a real democracy. The basis of the economy is a medium of exchange called "money". The basis of a democracy is the Freedom and Equality of each individual. Money is an economic value; a "medium of exchange", not a democratic value. Money is a medium of exchange, and as such, should circulate. Thats what its for! Of course, some 'hoarding' is necessary to prepare for the individuals future, but not in only 1% of the population. I'll bet that the 1% are either corporations, owners of corporations, or directly, or indirectly, related to corporations. The Court already protects these "fictions" and now, thanks to "Citizens", it has allowed one 'fiction' to support and buttress another fiction called "money" by allowing corporations to participate in a democracy under the guise of a 'freedom of speech'; "fictions" among millions of real individuals. What direction will the Nation take? "Alice in Wonderland" is a fiction, but there's more substance in it than our 'politics'. We have to learn to 'do' politics instead of just talking politics. We need to 'sink'our words on something solid or on the 'Bottom' of our triadic form of government.
