Congress, Creativity, Connessione

September 27, 2013 — 3 Comments

Watching the US congressional dramatists perform for the nation I wonder how these folks make contact with reality. Systems thinking, or connessione provides a holistic, integrated, well proportioned view.  The interests of many networks can be connected for the good of the entire system.  Our congressional employees seem stuck on the idea that hostile, unproductive bickering is what the taxpayers deserve.  Fractured care for our precious resources is eroding the national confidence.  Rather than forming natural helpful alliances bills are created with purposeful conflicts of interests from the get go.  It looks as if these representatives of the people are on some kind of very bad bummer trip, unable to view any kind of broad picture for fear of heavy freak out.  They use their imaginations and creativity to whip up disharmony rather than working to connect the whole.

How can we use our own creativity as taxpayers to force these clowns to get it together on behalf of the American people?  Can we imagine them working for us rather than wasting our money?  I find that difficult.  In the season of Halloween let us consult history and the ancestors to learn from the past.  How did our ancestors off insane rulers?  There have been plenty of them.  We must connect the dots to understand the deep lessons history teaches.  We must find the strength and the will to create a congress that works for us.  We are capable of balance, even if we are not witnessing it in our elected officials.
