Democracy has 'Power at the Top'; like any 'Other Form' of 'Governemnt'.

'Democracy', as a Political Entity, has 'Power at the Top'; just like any 'Other Form' of 'Government'. A 'Form of Government' is a 'Political Institution' and consequently, one must ask, "from where does a 'Form of Government' get its Power? All 'Political Entities', Large or Small, are 'Created or established' 'Political Institutions'. Early Tribes, Groupings, etc. usually had 'Leaders', 'Chiefs', who were 'selected' from the 'Wisest', 'Strongest', 'Fastest', or the 'Most Cruel'. Some just 'took' the Position by 'Force' and some 'Inherited it' by being a 'member' of a 'Powerful Family'. Later came the 'Divine Right of Kings' which 'attributed' their 'Right' to Rule to the 'Divinity'. All these Forms are now 'Obsolete' except, and just in case, there still exists, a few 'Isolated Groupings'. 'Every Grouping' had its manner of deciding who would Lead them. Of Course, today, every 'Government' has a 'Top of Power' and a 'Bottom of People'. That was the source of the so-called 'dilemma' of the 'One and the Many', or 'How to Organize an 'Institutional Political Entity' with a 'Top with Political Power' and a Bottom with the 'Many' Human Individuals. If 'Human Individuals' are 'Free' and Equal', as in a Democracy, 'Law and Order' must exist. If 'Law and Order' exists, 'The Many' need to be Governed. But, 'Governing' is different from 'Ruling', hence, the 'basic difference' in the 'Forms' of Autocracies, Plutocracies, Oligarchies, and Democracies. But, 'Democracy' is the only Form that emphasizes the importance of the 'Many People' at the 'Bottom'. The Essence of Democracy are the 'Many Peoples' at the 'Bottom' and the 'Top of Power' is there to 'Serve the General Welfare'.

Democratic 'Government' is a 'Form' of Government; 'Real Democracy' is the 'Nature' of the 'Bottom''.

Democratic 'Government' is a 'Form' of Government; "Real Democracy" is the Nature of the 'Bottom' of a 'Form of Government'. The Top of Power follows 'Democratic Principles' as it 'Governs' and the Bottom of Government is where all the 'Real People Reside' next to each Other. The People are 'Real', not Constitutionally created "Persons" like 'Business Corporations'. The 'Real Persons' Live, Die, and Suffer. They are not 'Institutions' and if they are included as 'Citizens' of a 'Nation' they should be properly 'Governed' and not 'Ruled'. All Political 'Positions' are of a 'Representative Nature'. That means, the Positions were created to allow a 'Representative' from the Bottom to serve and only for a short Period of Time, in some 'Functional and Democratic Capacity'. The 'essence of Democracy' is 'all the Real People' at the Bottom. Without Real Individuals, i.e. 'Real People' there is no Democracy.

That was no 'Trial'; it was a 'contest' between 'Ideologies' and 'Party loyaly'.

That was no Trial; it was a contest between Ideologues and Party Loyalty. How did anyone expect 'Party Ideology' to vote against itself? The 'Representatives' have already 'separated' and each has formed their own 'Party Preferences'. It should have been a search for the 'Truth' and for 'Competence' and that doesn't have anything to do with 'Party Lines'. I don't mean 'Political Preferences', I mean 'Truth'. How could an 'Ideologue' go against His/Her own Party Ideology? Some did. The Highest Political Offices in the Land and they turned it into some 'Political Contest' about voting along 'Party Line' instead of voting for the 'Truth'. Even the 'United Nations' appears to know the Truth. 'Party Loyalty' had no part to play in this scenario. It was not supposed to be a Political Contest between the 'Parties', it dealt with Political 'Behavior', human behavior. Usually, Politics 'seeps' into 'Normal Conversations'; this was a case where 'Human Behavior seeped' into 'Politics' and that 'says more' than any 'Party Ideology'. A perfect example that 'Human Behavior'; 'Decency'; and 'competence' qualifies a 'Representative' for 'Public Office', not Party Ideology. Politicians consider 'Party Ideology' as some 'inflexible criteria' for putting 'Public labels on themselves' and then refusing to step outside the Label. Being 'locked' into 'Party Loyalty' destroys 'Human Decency' and 'Real Political Understanding'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Party Loyalty has just demonstrated its 'Frivolus' nature.

Party Loyalty has just demonstrated its 'frivolity'. Imagine Two of the Highest Political Institutions in the Nation have 'divided' along Party Lines. Each Party Line has its own 'Ideology', yet neither could see that the real issue was not an Ideological Issue; it was more of an 'Incompetence issue'. It was a 'Personality Issue' not an 'Ideological one'. The Issue dealt more with 'behavior' than with Political Ideology. The behavior was an attempt to extract a 'Deal', more so than a 'Political Solution' among 'Nations'. A 'Nations' Ideologies apply to 'National Issues', more so than 'International Issues' After all the 'Party division' is about 'National' and 'Local Government', not about 'International Relations'. That's a horse of a different color. Nevertheless, a 'Leader' must be 'competent' in both the National and the International Arena. Dividing among Party-Lines and voting among Party Lines is frivolous. It demonstrates a 'lack' of 'Personal Flexibility' between 'National and International' modes of behavior. How sad, 'Leaders' unable to distinguish between mere 'Ideological Party Issues' and 'Real Political Issues' on the International Sphere. 'Voting' along 'Party Lines' is 'childish'; 'inflexible'; and 'demonstrates a weak reason' for 'Serving' in a 'Representative Capacity' in a 'Democracy'. Where are the Real Politicians?

A Political Campaign for the Higest Office in the Land has descended into 'name calling' and "sheer Mockery".

A Political Campaign for the 'Highest Office' in the 'Land' has 'descended' into "Name Calling", Insults, and Sheer Mockery. What has happened to 'Political Language'? Even a Movie made in Hollywood where the Language is 'comparable' would be 'distasteful', 'Mockery', or a 'Comedy'. Of course, if the 'Opposition' does not reply with 'equal distaste', it places itself at a 'disadvantage'. That's what happened in the first Debate. The 'Appeal' was made to the 'Back-yard Barbeque Crowd' and it was 'never challenged'. Has Politics descended to that level? Can Political Language still refer to the "Constitution"; "the General Welfare" and "Freedom and Equality" of the 'Individual' at the Bottom, or has Politics 'lost' its Language? A 'Politics' without a 'Proper Language' cannot survive. Of course, I do not speak of 'Political Correctness'. That's Empty, Vacuous, 'Insincere', and 'Hypocritical'. A Proper Language is Important, but I speak of a 'genuinely Proper One'. Insults and Name Calling will not work. Especially at the 'Highest Level' of 'Public Service'. What Kind of leaders do we have? A 'Top' should always set an 'Example' for the 'Bottom'. But, when the 'Top' talks like the 'Bottom'; and 'without Political Discipline', its only 'Natural' to 'worry' about the 'Quality of Leadership' driving the Ship of State. Where are the Real Politicians?

Many Political Entities call themselves 'Socialist':and 'Republics': but 'Govern' like 'Autocrats'.

Many Political Entities call themselves 'Socialist': 'Republics': and even 'Democratic', but 'Govern' like 'Autocrats'. The Real Difference is in the 'Form of Government', or the 'manner' in which they 'Govern'. But, they do not seem to 'hide that difference'. But, an actual 'Democratic Leader' that tries to 'Rule' instead of 'Govern' stands out in His/Her preoccupation with 'Economic Issues' and 'other Issues', instead of 'Civil Issues' like 'Freedom and Equality'. For Example, how long does it take to 'eliminate', or at least, 'to address' 'Racial Inequality' in the 'Social'? It was done in the 'Educational System'. In a Democracy, the 'essence' of any 'Social Institution' is to address the 'condition and status' of the 'Bottom'. Otherwise , its not a Democracy and its 'not Governing'. All Political Entities exist only for the Purpose of 'Governing' or 'Ruling'. They are 'Social Institutions', not 'products of Nature'. If a Nation purports to be 'Democratic', it must serve the 'Bottom' or the 'Peoples'. 'Democracies' Govern, they don't Rule. One doesn't have too look far to see some of the 'Atrocities' perpetuated by 'Autocratic Rule'. But, the problem in a Democracy is that, 'Someone' can be 'Elected' to the 'Top', who then attempts to 'Rule'. When that happens, the 'Top of Power' is in turmoil. Most 'Revolutionary activity' occurs at the 'Bottom'. When it occurs at the 'Top', 'Democratic Ideology' is being destroyed, and when that goes, the 'Democratic structure' unravels and 'cannot hold together'. The 'Top of Power', becomes 'unhinged'. Where are the Real Politicians?

In a Political Entity, the 'Top' is 'necessary'; How is the 'Form' of Government justified?

In a Political Entity,the 'Top of Power' is 'Necessary'; all Political Entities have their own 'Top' and 'Form' of Government. Why is there a difference? There are many Forms of 'Government'; some 'Forms' don't even 'look like' or resemble a 'Government', as we know it. Some, like the Family; we must surmise, grew out of a 'Closeness' between the 'Individuals'; and some among other Individuals being born in 'proximity' to each Other; like a 'Tribe or Group'. Then something must have happened; a particular 'land area' began to 'Feel' like 'Home' and then 'began' to be considered 'as Home'. My Land; our land; It was 'Given a Name' and whether 'mental' or 'actual', the 'circumference and size' was 'delineated' and called 'Our Home'. The above 'sequence' can't be justified, but the process must have been 'similar'. Different 'Races' came into being and different 'Areas' acquired a certain 'Identity' and 'Independence'. The 'Immigrant was Born'. A Human Being who will never understand the trajectory, acquires an 'Identify' and 'must survive' in the World. Of course, 'Human Kind' begins to establish control over his /her Land and 'Nations' are Born. 'Identifies' come into existence, then 'control', then 'Power at the Top'. Politics is Born. Since all Human Beings are Equally Human; 'no 'One' is 'Superior' to Another. Of course, 'Nations' are 'Institutions' and justify their 'existence' and their 'authority' differently. A 'Political Entity' takes 'Form' and the 'Institutional Power' at the 'Top' becomes defined; Monarchy; Autocracy', Oligarchy; Plutocracy, and much later, 'Democracy'. 'Power' at the 'Top' and the 'Many Peoples' at the 'Bottom'. From the 'Divine Right of Kings' to 'Government of the People', 'by the People' and 'For the People'. Only a Democracy respects the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'each and every' Real Individual at the Bottom. Hence the need to 'transfer authority' to 'Govern' to the 'Top'; 'Representative Government is Born', but 'only' for a 'short period of time'. The Center of Gravity of 'Governing' in a 'Democracy' is always the 'Many Peoples' at the 'Bottom'. The 'Top' is always 'Representative'. Where are the Real Politicians?

The Relation of the Top and the Bottom arose from 'Necessity' and the 'Need for Government'.

The Relation of the Top and the Bottom arose from 'Necessity' and 'Eventually' for the 'need of a 'Political Entity'. Obviously. 'Many Peoples' cannot 'Govern themselves'. The 'Political Entity' must be 'organized' in a manner where the 'Many' or the 'Governed' have a say-so in the 'Form' of Government. That's a Democracy. Since all 'Real Human Beings' are 'Equal and Free', no one Human Being is more qualified by virtue of just being Human to become a Leader. Hence, some criteria by which a Leader is 'chosen' must exist. But, where is it? Anyone can Run for Office, but what are the qualifications of that Person. Of course, everyone knows that's the 'Purpose' of a 'Campaign', but most Campaigns' are reduced to 'empty Promises'. But, that's what we call 'Politically Correct'. That's 'Empty' and 'Insincere'. That's not what I'm saying. If one listens to the arguments of the Senate and House, the Language and Motivations for such 'Leadership' are not being discussed. The motivations have to be 'relatively selfless' and a Leader must have a 'comprehensive' knowledge of the 'Real Political situation', and, very important, the possession of a 'Political Vocabulary'. How can an 'Economic Dialogue' be used to 'make comprehensive' Political moves? It can't. That's an Economic move and Politics does include 'Economics', but 'not to the exclusion' of a 'Political Vocabulary'. The 'basis and Nature' of a 'Political Entity' is Governed by a Political 'Vocabulary' and not 'solely' by an 'Economic One'. Leadership in the 'Business World' differs from Leadership in the 'Political World'. Where are the Real Politicians?

The 'Relation' of the Top to the Bottom does not always include the 'Many Peoples' at the Bottom.

The 'Relation' of the Top to the Bottom does not always 'include' the 'Many Peoples' at the Bottom. All Governments have a 'Top with Power' and a Bottom with the 'Many'. The Relation of the 'One' and the 'Many' exists in all 'Forms of Governments'. But, many distinctions arise when it comes to the Form of the 'Political Entity' and the 'Many Peoples' at the 'Bottom'. All 'Tops' have Power to Govern. One cannot have a 'Top' of Power without a 'Bottom' of 'Peoples'. But again, the Peoples are the 'Governed', and one must ask, do they have any 'Political Rights' and if so. from where do they get these Rights? Of course, a Government is an 'Institution' and not a 'Natural Phenomena' but, the 'Peoples', whether at the Top or the Bottom are equally 'Human'. As Human Beings, all are the 'same' and one 'cannot assume' that any 'One' Human is 'Greater' than the 'Other'. Again, Power to 'Rule' is 'different' from 'Power to Govern'. One important feature is that 'Power' is an 'Institutional Phenomena' and in the 'Democratic Form', the Top gets its Power to 'Govern' from the 'Peoples at the Bottom', through the 'Ballad Box'. The 'Institution of Government' is 'authorized to Govern' by the 'Constitution' and the 'Many Peoples' at the 'Bottom'. An Autocratic Form of Government does not Govern; it Rules. That means the 'Peoples' at the Bottom do not have any 'Political Rights' to participate in the act of 'Institutional Rule'. Of course, 'Democratic forms' can also 'fall' into that quandary. An Individual, 'unsophisticated and unqualified' in the workings of Government can be voted into Office and She/He may try to 'Rule' instead of 'Govern'. Simply from his lack of knowledge of Politics. This happens when an individual does not 'understand', or simply doesn't care, that 'Democratic Government' is about 'serving the Peoples' at the Bottom and not about the 'mere exercise' of 'Political Power'. Political Power does not exist except as an Institution and in the Democratic Form of Government, the 'Peoples' at the 'Bottom' transfers that 'Institutional Right' to Govern by means of the Ballad Box. Of course, many things could go wrong, but there should be some sort of qualifications to run for Public Office. When Trump was asked what qualified him to Run; he said "I build big Buildings". Governing establishes a 'Relation' between the Top and the Bottom and that Relation must be used to 'Serve the People'.

The most important Relation in a Political Entity is the relation of the Top to the Bottom.

The most important Relation in a 'Political Entity' is the 'Relation' of the 'Top to the Bottom'. If we are talking 'Politics' or 'Political Entities', we are talking about a 'Structure' or a 'Form of Organization' that allows for 'Governing' the 'Many' by 'One' or the 'Few'. The Top always has 'Power' and the 'Bottom' is the 'Governed' or the 'Ruled'. But, many other 'factors' enter into the Relation. Every Political Entity must also have a 'Social' and an 'Economy'. No 'large group' of 'Human Beings' can 'hold together' without some 'form' of 'Political Organization' and it has gotten to the point where the 'Economic Arena' has acquired importance. These 'factors' all 'effect the Social', and the 'Political'. The importance of the Economic is unquestioned. But, one must ask, why? Simply, the Political is under authority of the 'Political Form' of the Nation, while the Economic is 'Capitalistic' and whose 'Unique Productive Form' is somewhat 'unrestrained'. A Nation cannot survive without an 'Economy' and therein lies a subtle 'danger'. The 'Economic' permeates all the 'Real Individuals' at the Bottom. That's why the Supreme Court created a 'Person" in contemplation of Law' protected by the Constitution. An Individual lives within the 'political Form' of the Government, but is not always in contact with its 'Institutional Nature'; while the 'Economic' permeates every 'moment' of an 'Individuals Life'. We cannot survive without Government, but we cannot survive 'one day' without the 'Economic'. Its very easy for a 'Political Entity' to be dominated by the 'Nature' of a 'Capitalistic Economy'. If the Economy is Capitalistic, 'economic production' becomes 'very important' and the 'Corporate Nature' seeps into the 'Political' and acquires 'dominance'. No 'Real Individual' can compete with a Social formed by 'Corporate Structures' or 'Legal Persons' or 'Legal Fictions'. So now, we use our Time to Count our Money and forget about our Freedom and Equality. We literally 'create' a 'Class Society' by 'embracing abstract Fictions' called Money. The Economic 'Pours in' and the 'Freedom and Equality' goes out the Window. Where are the Real Politicians?

In a Political Entity, the Media and its Objectivity is very important.

In any Political Entity, the 'Media' and its 'Objectivity' is very important. Without a 'Media', the 'Bottom' would never know what the Top is doing, and often times, there are things that the 'Top' does not want the 'Bottom' to know. All Political Entities create a 'Relationship' between the Top and the Bottom and the proper function of the Media is to keep the Bottom informed about the 'functions of the Top of Power'. Its a very important 'Political Relation' and one that establishes a certain 'Political Relationship'; in a Democracy, between the 'Representatives' at the Top and the 'Many Peoples' at the Bottom. The function of the media is to monitor this 'Relation' and report it to the People at the Bottom. Without the Media, the Bottom would never know what is happening at the Top of Power and the Top would never know what the Bottom is thinking or doing. Of course, the most important Requirement the Media has is to be 'Objective' about the Reportage. But, the Problem that inheres in such a Relation is that the Top is the 'One' and the Bottom is the 'Many'. There's that old, 'ancient Problematic' about the 'relation' between the 'One and the Many'. The One and the Many is an essential relation of Government. It must exist. But we've discovered that in the formation of our Democracy, the first thing the Representatives did was to divide into 'Political Parties' each with a different 'Political Ideology'. Already we have a difference. Now, ask yourself, if the division was a "Party Division" into Democratic Political Ideology, why cant the Parties act 'Democratically'. Why is there so much animosity between the 'Parties' that they argue about 'Procedures' instead of Substance? The quest is for the 'Truth' of purported 'Political activity' and not about what can be 'withheld' from the 'Peoples at the Bottom'. Who do the Parties Represent? Why are the 'People' confused by shifting 'Political Talk' that does not address the 'Real Issues'. The Real Issue is about 'Competency' and 'Leadership'. A Nation cannot be 'driven' with 'Economic Principles'. Where are the 'Real Politicians'.

In a Democracy: when the 'Top' acts arbitrarily; it no longer represents the Bottom.

In a Democracy: when the 'Top' acts arbitrarily: it no longer represents the 'Bottom'. Democracy is a 'Representative' Government and 'Leaders at the Top should Represent all the 'Peoples at the Bottom'. 'Shuffling Government Funds' from Military Funds, to build a 'Wall' that contributes to 'Isolationism' is not only, not Democratic; its dangerous. How can a Leader of the People who gets 'all his Political Power', only as a 'Representative of the People', endanger the 'very People' who elected him to 'Office'. That is not 'Democratic'; nor 'Republican'; that's not even 'Governing'; its closer to 'Ruling' a Nation. In a Democracy, 'Leaders' who do not have the 'Peoples Welfare' in mind should not be in 'positions of Leadership'. All 'Democratic Politics' is about 'Representing the People'. In a Democracy, there is no other reason for 'Politics' to exist. In a Democracy, the Bottom is Free and Equal and for that reason, 'Democratic Politics' becomes necessary. But, its 'Political Principles' that become necessary; not 'Economic Principles' and not 'Arbitrary' and 'Pet Projects' of 'so-called Leadership'. To use 'Political Office' for 'Personal Gains' and 'Personal Projects' is clearly a misuse of Political Power. In such cases, either a 'Representative Leader' does 'not Understand' or She/he is 'clearly using' the Elected Office for 'Political Gain'. In the first case, the 'So called' Leader does not 'Understand' Political Principles at all, and in the Other, the Leader does not have the 'Selflessness' required for 'Leadership'. In either case, that kind of 'Politics' leads to a 'Disorganized Bottom' and that raises the issue whether the 'Political Parties', will 'cling' to their 'Ideology' or whether they will try to 'benefit' from the 'mayhem and confusion' caused be the 'Top of Power'.

When the Top of Power 'destabilizes' in a Democracy, the 'Bottom' begins to 'splatter'.

When the Top of Power 'destabilizes' in a 'Democracy', the Bottom begins to 'splatter' in every direction. No longer a 'cohesive Bottom' of 'Freedom and Equality', the bottom becomes 'unmanageable and antagonistic'. The general sense of stability weakens and the different 'Races' and 'belief systems' begin to 'turn' against each other. Democracy has Power at the Top, but if the Top does not exercise its Power in a 'proper way', there is 'nothing' to hold the Bottom together. That occurs when the Top is governed by 'economic Principles' or when there's a lack of 'Political Knowledge' at the helm. Governments, all Governments, whether Democratic or Not, are 'Political Entities' and when they are not 'Governed' or 'Ruled' by their 'Political Ideology', they 'weaken' and 'eventually disintegrate'. But, if the Political Ideology holds together, there is a possibility for their 'Bottom' to hold together. Governments as 'Political Entities', or 'Real Governing Agencies' have a better chance of 'living in a Condition of 'Political Togetherness' then 'Billions of Individuals' living without any kind of Governing Principles. Why is it that Different Political Ideologies can live together in the World, while Billions of Individuals cannot. The answer is Politics. But Political Leaders must learn to hold their Nations together and 'resolve' Political Differences with 'Political Principles' and not 'Economic Principles' or 'Personal Inclinations'. 'Political Entities' are 'Huge' and should be 'disciplined Entities', while Individuals have 'less' Political Inclinations then do 'Political Entities'. An 'Individuals' 'immediate concerns' are more attuned to 'Personal Life-Styles' and they leave 'Political Concerns' to the 'Political Realm'. An Individual cannot hold together a Political Entity, while a Political Entity can hold together the 'Many' Individuals at the Bottom. The Issues are issues of 'Political Entities', 'Political Power', and 'Politics'. In a Democracy, that requires a 'thorough Knowledge' of Political Principles and the 'Right Spirit' for 'Governing'. In a Democracy a 'Leader' cannot 'Govern' with 'Personal Inclinations'. A 'Leader' needs a thorough Knowledge of 'Political Principles' and 'Politics'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Democracy is a 'functional discipline' that 'Institutionalizes' the 'Bottom' as an expresseion of 'Freedom and Equality'.

Democracy is a 'functional discipline' that 'Institutionalizes' the 'Bottom' as an expression of 'Freedom and Equality'. How is this to be accomplished? Of course, 'Political Discipline' is the discipline that must be made 'functional'. No other discipline will suffice. Economic disciplines are also necessary aspects of a 'Democratic Social'. But, economic discipline 'cannot drive' a democracy of 'Freedom and Equality'. It can drive, and does, the 'Corporate Economy' of 'Legal Fictions'. But, it has no control. The Corporate Society has torn loose from governmental Control and is pretty much on its own. Legal Fictions were created, as 'Persons' in 'contemplation of Law', for 'protection', but now they run 'amok'. Abusing their status as 'Constitutional Persons', their sole concern is always 'more and more' of the 'same'. But, the availability of their 'products' or 'services' never comes into view. The 'Business Corporation' needs to be re-designed. They need to be more responsible and they need to be 'more democratic'. After all, they got 'Constitutional Protection'; why not 'Democratic Duties' as all other 'Persons' in the 'Social' have. How can a Person at the Bottom, without any technical knowledge, participate in 'economic activity' ( work) if they are not equipped to function as 'technicians'. They say, many 'new jobs' are available, but only the 'Few' can 'function there'. The Business Corporation is not a 'Real Person' like you and I, so why should it get 'special treatment', or Constitutional Protection? Since, the Law has created the Business Corporation, why shouldn't they become 'more democratic'. Business Corporations are 'necessary', but so are 'Democratic Duties' of 'Freedom and Equality'. After all we are a 'Democracy'. Where are the Real Politicians?

In a Democracy, the problematic is 'how to enable the 'Institutions' at the 'Bottom' to reach the 'Many'.

IN a Democracy, the problematic is 'how to establish 'Social Institutions' at the 'Bottom', that actually 'reach' and 'benefit' the 'Many'. Its relatively easy for the 'Top' to say the 'Bottom' is 'Free and Equal'. Many 'Autocracies' claim to be 'Democracies'. Of course along with the statement that everyone is 'Free and Equal' is the understanding that 'Law and Order' is also an absolute necessity. No 'One' can Govern 'Many' without there being in place the 'Social Institutions' and 'Law and Order'. Law and Order spells out the 'activities' that are 'prohibited' so as to allow the 'Acceptable' to become 'Institutionalized'. Those 'Acceptable Acts' become the 'Basic Activities' that becomes 'Institutionalized' into the 'Social'. Indirectly, 'Law and Order' establishes 'Social Mores' that become 'Socially acceptable' by prohibiting 'unlawful activity' among the 'Many'. The 'Individual' at the 'Bottom' is 'Free and Equal' and anyone who chooses to Run for 'Public Office' is 'Free' to do so. But, shouldn't there be some 'Requirements and Qualifications' to do so? At present, there is nothing to prohibit someone with 'Autocratic tendencies' from 'Running' for Public Office. Of course, such a tendency is not as obvious as one would think and that is not the 'sole characteristic' to 'guard' against. As we have pointed out, a '100% businessman' will possess certain 'Autocratic Tendencies' to operate a 'Corporate Fiction' successfully. Individuals who have never served the 'Public Good' can also have 'Autocratic tendencies'. No Individual who is a 'Corporate Success' is free from such 'unconscious motivations'. They all 'talk' about improving the 'Economy' but, in most cases, that ambition is limited to some 'favorable treatment' of some favorite 'Legal Fiction' or to giving 'Tax reductions' to the 'biggest Income Producers' in the 'Social'. What about Freedom and Equality, Racial Discrimination, or Class Discrimination? It never includes 'those Individuals' who need it the most or those activities that will 'Balance Out' the 'Social' into a more 'Healthy Social', or that 'Serves the "general Welfare", as provided by the Constitution. Where are the Real Politicians?

The Ancient Problematic of 'The One and the Many' has evolved into the 'Few and the Many'.

The Ancient Problematic of 'The One and the Many' has evolved into the 'Few and the Many'. There has always been an Issue as to how any 'One Individual' can Govern the 'Many Individuals' at the Bottom. What does He or She posses that the Others do not. Of course, The Divine Right of Kings Form of Government relied on the fact that the King was Divine. At first, I imagine, their was a belief that the 'King and the Divine' were in touch with each Other. Later, there evolved a concept that the King had 'Two Bodies'. One was Divine and the other was 'Like Everyone Else'. The 'Divine Right of Kings' concept of 'Rule' comes from this arrangement. Other 'Forms of Government' evolved from this 'basic Concept'. The 'Autocratic' concept retained the idea that the 'Top Ruled the Bottom'. It didn't Govern, it Ruled. There are 'Many' different forms of Governing that retained this 'Line of Authority', but 'thinned it out' by creating 'Agencies' at the 'Top'. But, it was the 'Democratic Form' that really changed the 'Ancient Styles of Governing. Power was in the 'People' and they 'transferred it to the Top' by the Ballad Box and created a 'Three Branch Form' of Government. The Bottom are 'the People' or, the Legislative Branch; The Top is the Executive Branch; and the Third Branch is the Judiciary. This 'Form' allows 'Movement' from the 'Bottom' to the 'Top' of 'Power'. Hence, there was a limitation placed on how long any one Individual could serve in the 'Highest Office' in the Land. But, since any Individual at the Bottom could try to Serve in the Highest Office in the Land, other problems evolved. Was the 'Intent of the Individual' to 'Serve' the People, or to 'Rule' the People, or to 'Govern' the People in accordance with the 'Constitution'. As you can see, the 'Problematic' of the 'One and the Many' still 'visits us', but in a more 'Diluted Form'. It seems that if the 'Intent' is to 'Govern' according to the 'Constitution' and the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'every one Real Individual' at the Bottom, there would be no 'Racial Discrimination'. Real Freedom and Equality would reign. Legal Fictions ( Fictional 'Persons') like Corporations would not be 'favored' over 'Freedoms and Equalities'. Where are the Real Politicians?

The only thing that can be more powerfull than 'Political Correctness' is 'Creativity'.

The only thing that can be more 'Powerful' than 'Political Correctness' is a 'Creative Politics'. A Creative Politics can really tackle the Old Problematic of the 'One and the Many'; 'Power' at the 'Top' and 'The Many' at the 'Bottom'. An 'Autocratic Government' has 'Power at the Top' and 'People at the Bottom', but the formula is much 'simpler' than a 'Democratic Form'. In such cases, the 'Top has Power' and the 'Bottom' has no 'Freedom and Equality'; and if it does, its never spelled out. Hence, the Autocrat is Free to 'Rule' as he 'wishes'. A 'Real Democracy' has a 'Written Constitution' and the 'Organization of the Triadic Form of Governing' is spelled out in clear language. In a Democracy the Power is in the People at the Bottom and that Power is transferred to the Top via the ballot Box. Any one serving in High Office 'serves' the 'People at the bottom'. Of course, that creates many Problems, because that 'Ancient Problematic' raises its ugly head, viz: the One and the Many. But, that only allows room for the 'Creative Spirit'. Instead of 'just following' the Letter of the Constitution, the approach to Governing becomes 'Creative'; a Creativity that does not depart from the terms of the Constitution. No Longer just 'Politically Correct', but a 'True Spirit' to 'Serve' the People at the Bottom. A Political Entity that actually 'Serves' the People. Of Course, the Bottom is a Multiplicity of Peoples and that makes the Political Task of the 'Top' much more Difficult. No easy Task, the Top must become 'Creative', but within the 'Bounds' established by the Constitution. 'Political Correctness' is mere compliance with certain 'Political Practices'. Its 'empty', 'vacuous', and 'insincere'. 'True Politics' 'serves' the People and tries to establish 'Institutions' at the 'Bottom' that will 'protect and 'develop' the 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Individual'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Politics is 'not Science'; nor Art, but it's 'Creative' and hence 'closer' to an 'Art form'.

Politics is 'not Science', nor Art, but it's 'Creative' and hence 'closer' to an 'Art Form'. The 'Creative aspect' of Politics requires that the 'Top of Power' should exercise a little 'creativity' to 'Serve' the 'Needs' of the 'Social' and every 'Real Individual' that 'constitutes it'. Of course, that's a 'Tall Order'. How can an 'Institutional Top' possibly 'Serve Millions of Individuals'. We must be careful not to confuse 'Real Individuals' with the 'Condition of Togetherness' in which the 'Social' exists. The 'needs' of the Social does not necessarily mean the 'Needs' of Each and 'every' 'Real Individual' in the 'Social'. Of course, all Real Individuals are Free and Equal and that does mean 'all' 'Real Individuals'. But the Term 'Social' does have its 'definitions' and 'applications'. The 'function' of 'Power at the Top' is to 'create Social conditions' and 'Institutions' that help the 'Real Individuals' at the Bottom 'realize' their 'Freedom and Equality. Of course, the Top has other functions, but none is more important than to 'realize' and 'help' actualize the 'Individuals Freedom and Equality'. That factor is what makes a Democracy a Democracy. But, its important that Each and Every Real Individual situated at the Bottom also realize and understand the 'Function' that 'they' must play. A democracy needs 'Law and Order' and the manner by which 'Individuals' comply with 'Law' helps to create 'Order'. That's the Purpose of Law and that's what 'creates Order' in the Social. Neither exists without the 'Other'. A Top that helps establish Law is a Top that Governs with Democratic Principles, not Economic principles. The reason for that is that Economic Principles are Dictatorial in Nature. An Economy strives in one direction and one direction only; towards 'Profits' and 'More and more of the Same'. A Polity must be governed by 'Democratic Political Principles'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Politics is closer to an 'Art Form' than to a Political Science.

Politics is closer to an Art than to a Science. Obviously, a Two Party System has different ways of Politic-ing. Of course, Two ways of doing the same thing is not very scientific, nevertheless the Goal is the Same and that is that Both Parties should be 'Governing' the 'Peoples' of a Nation or one of the States of that Nation. So, why the Difference. Well, each Party of a Two Party System has its Ideology. But, each Party 'Governs' the same 'Territories'. The Parties have introduced into these Territories a different approach to the establishment of a Democratic Form of Government. But, our Government, whether Federal or State is a Democracy, a Government "Of the People", "by the People", and "For the People". Its a 'Peoples Government' and it has a 'Written Constitution'. The 'Liberal' and 'Conservative' Tag alludes towards an 'attitude' towards 'Governing', but 'Constitutional Governing', it must. The 'Political Stance' of each 'Party' refers to 'different attitudes' towards 'Governing'. But, they must 'Govern', not 'Rule'. At the moment, our Democracy is unraveling. Sad but True. The 'seat of Power' is occupied by an 'Autocrat' that cannot 'understand' what Democracy is. 'Led' by 'Principles of Economics', 'Freedom and Equality' has been 'sacrificed' to the 'Holy Dollar'. We have never been so close to a 'Plutocracy'. Unfortunately, its the 'Top of Power' that is 'unraveled' and the 'Lack of Democratic Principles' is disrupting the 'Freedom and Equality' situated at the Bottom. We have never needed more 'Sanity' in 'Governing' and 'True Leadership' at the 'Top of Power'. Where are the 'Real Politicians'? Its their 'Job' to correct the 'unraveling' of 'Real Democracy'.

A Political Entity is a 'Political Institution' and hence not a 'Natural Phenomena'.

A Political Entity is a 'Political Institution' and hence not a 'Natural Phenomena'. As a Human Institution, it is a 'Creation' and as a Creation, it must have its Institutional 'Component Parts', and its Institutional 'Motor'. In a Democracy, its 'Parts' are the 'Three Branches of Government' and its 'Motor' is the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'Each' and Every 'Real' Human Being under its 'Political Authority'. The Bottom, the People in their 'condition of togetherness' empower the Top. The only reason I say 'Real' is because the 'Social' and its 'Economy' is now populated with 'Real Persons' and 'Legal Persons'( 'Legal Fictions' called Corporations). Of course, they are recognized as 'Fictions' and as 'existing' only in 'contemplation of Law'. An Economic Institution( Business Corporation) created by Law as a Legal Fiction which contributes towards the creation of 'Economic Classes' better known as 'Haves and Have-Nots'. A 'Democratic Economy' becomes 'Politically Empowered' by the Law that protects a Business Corporation as a 'Person', hence a Legal Fiction. BUT, a 'Fiction' is a Fiction, whether Legal or Otherwise. Nevertheless, it 'establishes' the 'Corporate Nature' as 'Fundamental' and hence, its 'Size' and 'Productivity' becomes 'Fundamental'. A Fundamental 'Legal Person', or 'Fiction' that helps create 'economic classes', or 'Haves' and 'Have-Nots'. How, then, can a Democracy strive towards Equality. Don't mistake 'Social Equality' with 'Economic Equality'. The two are different. All 'Real Individuals' are 'Equal' and 'Free' and hence it can be said they have 'Social Equality', but not 'Economic Equality' because we live in a 'Capitalistic Economy' where Competition is Basic. Of course, when Constitutional Law holds that a 'Business Corporation' is a 'Person' in 'contemplation of Law', its creating an Economic 'imbalance' because Business Corporations can be as Large as they want and some are 'Huge'. Of course, they can be Taxed 'accordingly', but they are not. The Corporate Tax was reduced thereby augmenting the Imbalance. A Democracy where the Taxes are further reduced to augment already existing economic Imbalances in the Social further creates a 'Capitalistic Economy' that creates 'Haves' and 'Have-nots'. That's getting pretty close to a 'Corporate Society' or a 'Plutocracy'. A 'Business Corporation' can be protected without it having to become a 'Legal Fiction'. A 'Fiction' is a 'Fiction', anyway you cut it. 'Business Corporations' need more 'Democratic Duties' to 'offset' their 'Economic Autocratic Powers'. Where are the Real Politicians?
