Excellent observation. We have to find a way of allowing ourselves to 'count' as human beings without their official vote count. I do not see the purpose in voting and yet.... I have tried 'officially spoiling my ballot paper' (left to right bottom to top cross through I believe) in order to be counted but not counted but I do not feel I wish to sanction the system in any way now. Nevertheless it is the system we have got. I cannot find any sensible way to protest other than to go out into the world and be a bright energy, to embody the society I would like to see. I see that people are drawn to that, I notice it, maybe it works? I remain open minded. If I talk to people about politics at all, I urge them not to allow themselves to be divided by power. That is what the power wants, to divide and conquer. I like the work you are doing consistently spreading your clear and simple message. Thank you.

The bright energy approach makes sense to me. People who are enemy-driven in their thinking get caught up in the heat of battle without noticing that they're still fighting for someone else to rule them.

Yes! What an excellent way of describing it. I will remember this.

The challenge for today’s culture is to relearn the traditional skill of independent critical thinking. Too many people are willing to take the easy way out and accept what the media and their peers are telling them, even when the intuitive alarm is blaring, “Careful! That’s comfortable but is not the whole story!”
