The Wealth of WholeHealth: Part II, Politics

Politics: From the Greek (politikos), meaning civic or civil. Ironically, civil discourse seems to have largely vanished from the public square. Our Missouri state motto is "Let the welfare of the people be the supreme law." Civics has to do with citizens, the beloved community a citizenship where justice reigns.  Right, and if this seem believable to you, if this is your experience today, you will want to read on:

“A good government implies two things. First is fidelity to the object of government, is the happiness of the people. The second is a knowledge of the means by which that object can be best attained.” James Madison, 1788.

 Consider the Wealth of WholeHealth as a movement today no different than the Abolitionist, the Suffragettes, the Civil Rights activists who were not asking for New Rules, but rather demanding their constitutional rights. It is the means to an end, standing on truth already given. This isn’t just a NEW IDEA.   Rather, we merely going back to our original state, where we are  stewards of equality, freedom, economics, learning and well being for the world. Therefore, if the job of our generation is to bequeath the blessings of the Wealth of WholeHealth to our children then I say we need to start Movin and Shakin to make the Shift now. We are not moving forward folks we are not even going backward. We are on a slippery slope of collapse if there is not and new ‘infra-structure’ integrated for an evolution.

Both political parties in this country today unfortunately would appear to be no more than mere hand maidens to an unjust economic order by which corporations have undo power on our political situation.  We have one political group saying to the people, “Yes, times are tough we feel your pain, but government does not have the responsibility to heal your pain, that is what non-profits and charities are for.”

Another political party looks at the suffering of the people and respond to them, “This is horrible, why this is so bad, we are committed to do whatever it takes to fix this, Yes, we can!”  Unfortunately, they are no more capable of challenging the ‘status quo’ that makes all this inevitable than the other party or the non-profits and charities.  Why?

Because we have a corpratocracy that unilaterally, like a vacuum cleaner sucks out the human life, wealth & resources of America into the hands of a few without blinking.   Both political parties will be raising around a billion dollars each of their political campaign while citizens of this country are without jobs, losing homes in mass, our children dying of starvation, the scope and scale of disease is epidemic proportions, and people without affordable healthcare and we call this equality?

The Declaration of Independence has as their first principle: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”  I ask you, “How happy are you with this practice? AND How is this reality impacting the health of the people today?”
