There a...I made a mistake in one important number. There are 325 million Americans, not 225 million. So maybe we number 14,000 on our side, not 10,000.<br /><br />To get 10% on our side, we need 32,500,000 people, a 2,314.3% increase from 14,000. That increase must consist of active minded people, and the projected majority must be active minded people, and they must be unshakable, as a monolithic block. If they're divided, like Republicans of today and the minority is a monolithic block, like the Democrats of today, that minority is, effectively, the majority.<br /><br />Among all active minded people, we must be a monolithic majority, especially if we face a monolithic minority, which is probably what we'll face. We start now, with maybe 14,000 which we assume is united by choice, and shoot for 32,500,000 in the face of, I might discuss that later.Mike Kevittnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495065931245897039.post-38809552028456075042018-01-21T12:39:44.382-05:002018-01-21T12:39:44.382-05:00It's a starting point.

A study I learned about via Ilene Skeen (https://www.facebook.com/ilene.skeen/videos/10155910756383468/) concludes that "Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found that when just 10 percent of the population holds an unshakable belief, their belief will always be adopted by the majority of the society." (https://news.rpi.edu/luwakkey/2902) So all we need is 1 out of 10—a tough project, but more hopeful. And we have those Founding principles. In the words of Harvey Milk:<br /><br />"On the Statue of Liberty it says, 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free . . . .' In the Declaration of Independence it is written 'All men are created equal and they are endowed with certain inalienable rights . . . .' That’s what America is. No matter how hard you try, you cannot erase those words from the Declaration of Independence. No matter how hard you try, you cannot chip those words from off the base of the Statue of Liberty."

The contradictions were subordinate and incidental pieces of philosophies contradictory to that contained in the Founding Documents. But, the philosophy in those documents, that of individual rights, was the only philosophy in them, there was no other philosophy, only subordinate and incidental pieces of those philosophies in incidental contradiction to the philosophy in those documents. So, that philosophy was prevailing over the contradictions, but only for a while, because the people were never, by their choices, up to that philosophy. Today, the people are moral degenerates, by their choice. They REJECT that philosophy, all the way.<br /><br />This country was, and is, great, but only in its philosophy, non-contradicted in writing nor in action. I've read that the best of the Framers, in their time, had good reasons for allowing the contradictions into the documents, hoping their posterity would weed them out in due time, in any way they might have to. Their posterity was never great enough for it, was less than the country left to them. Today, the people, in their cold blooded rejection, don't deserve this country. They deserve the slavery they hanker for and wish upon us, us 1 out of 22,500.<br /><br />This country was never great in its people, but only in the non-contradicted philosophy in its Founding Documents. The Founders (Framers) were great enough to put it in writing, formally and official, after the Revolutionary War and subsequent challenges, even with contradictions, just to get it through, on the books. After the philosophy in the documents, the Framers of them are the greatness of this country. The rest has been, overall, downhill to now. Today, everybody apes for consciousness in inanimate matter or from beyond, in either case, a mono-theistic 'God' of all consciousness.<br /><br />The philosophy in the documents are there, but otherwise, this country is gone. The degenerate, untoward people are irretrievable. Us 1 out of 22,500 must separate, somehow, and go it alone and start over. With what we know, and with 10,000? of us, that might not be too bad a starting point. How 'bout it?Mike Kevittnoreply@blogger.com
