Maybe the hardest thing to do is to have a small vision, and then struggle like crazy to bring it into reality, and then find out that only a minority of people who want that vision to happen. Majority rules, you lose!
Maybe the easiest thing in the world is to have a HUGE VISION, and the belief that there are MANY WAYS for this vision to happen, including elections. Yes, last year, there was the November 2nd way, but there was also the December 31st way, and the August 2nd way, and so on!
Politics doesn't trust 10 or 15 year olds to think, because they aren't 18 and they aren't registered to vote! Politics tells them to wait until they are old enough!
What would happen if Libertarians listened to the wild, great and cool ideas that are constantly being produced by young kids (and some us young kids who were born in the 50's!), and said: "Hey, we're gutsy, let's do 2 or 3 of these ideas!"
And the Libertarian Party and some loosely non-affiliated Libertarian folks went out into the wilderness of South Dakota, and they made the desert bloom!
Lysander Spooner wrote and published a book in 1879 about abolishing poverty!
Isn't that visionary? Can we do this?
New Jersey Libertarians are going to run 60 candidates (out of 80 seats) for State Legislature next year!
In Hawaii, it takes just 25 valid signatures to be on the ballot for a Statewide race!
If the Libertarian Party, even with wisdom and principles, is as serious as the 2 Big Parties, and thinks on the same level as they do, problems won;t get solved! Wasn't it Einstein who said that a higher level of thinking was required to solve problems?
What can we do to elevate or thinking?
Maybe think like a bunch of excited 10 year olds on a perpetual summer vacation, where everything seems possible!
If everything seems possible, its only because our thinking makes it so!
