Sometimes, the only way to discuss the Old Problematic of the One and the Many is in abstract terms. Of course, abstract terms on 'this Level' of discourse are 'large inclusive Concepts'. But, this type of discourse should become 'applicable' and hence the 'need' to be 'a little more specific'. The 'One' easily becomes the 'Nation', the 'State', the 'Top', or 'The Government'. Usually, 'in all these cases' the 'Top' is always an 'Institution', a Governing Institution, because its necessity 'as such' applies to a 'Bottom' which is populated with 'Many Real Human Beings', living in a 'Condition of Togetherness'; usually referred to as the 'Social' or 'Society'. But the latter has acquired a 'Bad Political Connotation'; to wit, 'Socialism', so I prefer the words 'Condition of Togetherness' to help 'loosen ourselves' from 'said connotations'. The so-called 'Many' becomes 'the Peoples', the 'Population'; each and every 'Real Human Being' that's is under 'Government'. The 'One and the Many' is now perceived as the 'Government' and the 'Governed'. Although we use the 'same word'(Government-to Govern) to refer to the Top and the Bottom, the 'Dualism' is not completely 'accurate'. There is a 'great gap' between the 'Two' terms and 'each' is 'very different'. The 'Top' is an 'Institution', an 'Institutional Top' established by 'Real People', and the Bottom is 'Real', consisting of 'Real Human Beings'; the very 'same ones' that 'established Government', as an Institution, in the first place. The Problematic now becomes, 'Who is to Govern'. In a 'Real Democracy', we all know the answer to that, 'The People' Govern. They establish a Government 'of the People', 'by the People', and 'for the People'. But, that also creates a Problem. Who, as Real Individual, is qualified to govern? Or, stated Differently, which candidate is better Qualified to Govern? Of Course, I'm familiar with the statement, "Anyone who wants to Run for Office can do just that". But, does that mean that anyone can assume the duty to Govern the Bottom, whether or not 'She' or 'He' is qualified? Can a Medical Doctor treat you Medically, whether She or he went to medical School or not? Can a Lawyer Represent you in Court, whether he or she went to Law School or not? Isn't it time we start setting qualifications for assuming the Highest Office in the Land? Money, Wealth, and Economic Knowledge and Class is not enough. Haven't we learned anything these past years? Where are the Real Politicians?
