Constitutional language creates an Institution. The Constitution literally constitutes
us. When the Constitution was crafted, language was not problematic although it
signaled the arising of political Parties. There is nothing wrong with having
political parties with different views so long as their positions reflect a different
view of what is best for the People at the bottom. The problems arise when a
political position merely reflects, in a different form, the old problem between
State government and Federal government or is used for self-aggrandisement or
for the benefit of those fictions called "corporations". The corporation, a legal
fiction, has become the beneficiary of the Judicial Branch. Although they are
essential and important to the economy, isn't it ludicrous that an abstract entity
that exists "only in contemplation of law" has been given, with quite a stretch of
the imagination, the priviledge of contributing to political campaigns, on the basis
that they have a right to Free Speech. Its obvious to everyone that political
campaigns are becoming a thing for the rich. We now hear of " war chests" in the
millions. Where are the People? They exist at the bottom and merely look up at
the " money wars" taking shape above them. Money, another abstract entity
devoid of blood, character, and spirit, which is empty, vacous, has no identity
and whose only value is quantitative. ( "I have more than you".)
Truly, money has become an empty, vacous, abstract God that shapes the world.
   What has become of pure, simple patriotism? Well, we know where the men
and women who fought for the Country are: their spirit and devotion lives on,
but their blood has been spilled.
