Ours
All that is required, to save our species from it's self, is that we all agree, together, that everything here is Ours: our Property, our Responsibility, our childrens' Future.
Everything; all the houses and factories and highways and tens of millions of machines to make anything we can imagine, that's all ours. It's paid for- much of it several times over, which is completely unfair and unnecessary.
Similarly, it is unfair and unnecessary for people to work excessive hours at jobs that have no real satisfaction. Society is best served when individuals exert their best effort, of their own will, upon the course which suits Them.
Now, we have the Technology available to test each person physically, emotionally, mentally and magnetically, to find who they really are and how to use that for work. For a lot of people, who are strong and like to be outside, who want to heal the planet, it'll be windmill installation.
New, column-style, wind powered generators on our houses means we can abandon coal fired power plants and stop the sick, shameful, strip mining the Appalachian Mts. All those people will have new jobs, cleaning up the mess.
So will all the people who currently build oil and gas powered vehicles, machines and power plants, because we'll switch to Biodiesel, Ethanol, and Methane gas. More jobs- installing unobtrusive composting units for homes, and larger, vegetation only, ones for neighborhoods.
All genetically engineered crops must be Destroyed- that “corn” is a menace to all mankind, as are the patents. Same for “fast food” and the companies who push it on us.
Big Tobacco is a bunch of gangster drug dealers- period.
Right now, the most Wicked among us are in charge. They have our Consent to abuse their authority over us. We vote them into office, we buy the products they pimp out, we accept the cultural memes they demonstrate, and fear.
Television tells us what to buy, who to be, -today, and off we go the store to get some “consumer products”. Everything you don't need, bought on credit and broken. Seems kinda stupid, when everything is ours anyway.
Seems like we keep all the jet skis and bass boats down at the lake, have some guys who like taking care of them, and whenever you want to go to the lake, you can. Same for bicycles, gym memberships and nice restaurants.
Best of all, we don't have to pay, because it's all Ours. All we have to do is abandon the current prevailing attitude called “Hooray for me and fuck you”, and replace it with a new one, like “It's all ours”, or “For your kids too”, or “Love”.
So, we all agree- all the people that never vote, which is More than all the people that are registered (so we win) and elect a Completely New Government, top to bottom- as in “the ones on top are going strait to the bottom” in 2012.
No politicians means no politics. No lobbyists means no corruption. No lawyers means no lies. No trough means no pigs, which is the end of Corporate Zombie America too.
We can just Stop. Stop wasting our Resources, stop wasting our Time, stop pouring poison into our planet now. We can, instead, devote ourselves to cleaning up our mess- just as you would, finally, take a weekend and clean house... When you can't stand it anymore; the stuck on funk, the air of helplessness, the Inertia of your beliefs- and you have to move everything, scrub the walls, empty the closets, go to the pawn shop, have a yard sale and burn the rest.
Government exists solely as a means of organizing the collective effort to ensure the security of it's citizens. This sacred duty extends from the furthest corners of the world to the kitchen table of every American citizen.
We have hospitals. We have staff, equipment, drugs- abandon the “business” and we can treat everyone easily. Use all the so-called “alternative” medical therapies, only allow the production and distribution of Healthy food, and watch as the “civilized” diseases disappear, along with obesity, diabetes, fibromyalgia, depression and stupid.
We have more and better houses, apartments and warehouses than we have people who can “afford” them, and tools, equipment and machinery, sitting idle, for “sale”. We, the People, can decide to allocate these resources as we all agree is best- eliminating poverty, homelessness & the “ghetto” diseases of crime; violence and prostitution.
By assigning crews to build the ideas we like, with the person who thought it up responsible, and the ones who know in command of various specific tasks, everyone will have an opportunity to contribute as much as they can.
By returning to natural farming methods, with the assistance of modern technology, many farming jobs will become available, including humane animal husbandry, and every flat roof in the country will become a garden & coop.
Free, mandatory, maximum educational investment; as much as you can take, up until you decide to go to work. Continuing education in whatever you do, & advancement.
Food. Basic Healthy Diet is no charge, including vitamins. Any restaurant will serve you, any grocery store- all you have to do is make an effort of ten hours a week.
Even crazy people and the elderly can do that much!
Hours
The Means is your new phone, the Method is Our new system: work an hour, get one. Hours worked is Hours paid, at any productive endeavor- any society approved job.
Ten hours a week at the windmill factory and you're cool: small apartment, good food, medicine, entertainment too.
One person, working forty hours a week at a job they like, could provide a comfortable house for a small family. Two people working part time could afford a larger family, a larger house, pool, vacation, restaurant tab, and etc.
Say an Hour is worth half a day on the jetski, or lunch for a family, or good shoes, unlimited tanning, or new video rentals, for a month, or an amazing romantic dinner for two.
You give the piano teacher an Hour per hour, babysitter too.
Your new, free, blood-sampling-security super-phone calls you when it's time to vote on something, and stores your Hours, medical records and resume/licenses for work.
Surf the web, text your homies, get an education, all free.
Methane/electric motorcycles, bio-diesel trains, and trucks in surface tunnels supporting cantilevered raceways for electric cars and twin rails for high speed passenger cars.
Complete environmental cleanup, eliminate waste, recycle everything, discover new and better ideas and tools, go about our business with a will- a purpose we agree on, and treat this planet as we would a starship, or as a colony, alone in space, for which WE are responsible; and agree to manage our resources as if our lives depend on it.
