Over the years, I have become completely unimpressed with the ability of
political action to solve the social problems I care about. There is virtually
no difference, in any way which matters to me, between either of the two major
parties. Given the predominantly conservative inclinations of most Americans,
at least when compared with "average" Europeans, there is, IMNSHO, no chance in
hell that anyone who can accomplish any good, as I define it, can be elected
anyway.
>From my own value standpoint, I can only come up with two options for change:
1. a continuing global revolution against Western, especially U.S., hegemony
*** IMO, the defeat of that revolution is the real object of the so-called
global war on terror (or, as the U.S. government now calls it, "the struggle
against violent extremism").
2. spiritual transformation
Personally, I suspect that both of these may play a part. Political action? No
way.
