Open Letter to Kucinich for T Party

Grand T Party (GTP) for Sustainable Economy

Anyone who thinks growth of human population, human technologies, and human pride can go on forever in a finite world is a madman and a specialist.

mc k9's variation on economist Kenneth Boulding's statement that opens The Great Transition book

Dear Dennis Kucinich,
time for still another overview of humanity's situation
time to think boldly about DK and Ron Paul y'all
Ron has more supporters coming on board
so make an alliance for T(ransition) Party arrival this fall
just a few of the 60 or so peace-minded liberals
make many concessions to 5 or 6 reps on libertarian right
in order to UNITE firmly on the need to:
end imperialism
restore the Constitution
keep the federal budget both balanced and shrinking
bring all the troops home
cut the war budget 10 to 15% each year
phase out the military industrial corpstate complex
in all 50 states fairly, steadily, evenly
use the 30 hour week to employ everyone who wants to work
help citizens shape the local eco-businesses of a free market
(the only free market is a local sustainable market
the only local sustainable market is a free market)
keep well regulated militias in their states
(2nd amendment & 10th amendment)
planting trees, shielding wilderness areas,
helping Mother Nature restore the precious balance
that keeps us alive, alert and ready for "next Katrina'
honor, defend and uphold entire Constitution & Declaration
i.e. the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God"
and all the amendments (with possible exception of the 16th)
with special emphasis on tenth amendment (states')
and ninth amendment (human) rights
9th amendment privacy rights
make birth, marriage, death none of the govt's business
liberals & libertarians make common cause to lead T Party
perot independents, nader reformers, toward the goals of
nuclear disarmament, peace and ecological balance
to get this peace & ecology alliance going
we must do everything reasonable that tea partiers are asking for:
i.e. shrink fed & state governments, reducing the size of Fed govt
by cutting the Pentagon budget before it bankrupts us completely
lowering federal taxes fast, simplfying tax law to 3 flat taxes
one page of instructions
send single payer health insurance to the 50 states
or reduce medicare payments as we extend minimum medicare
to all children and later to everyone
common sense land reforms that make possible
steady increase in number of small family farms
so that more and more food is local food
doesn't have to be transported
you make this bold alliance for transition
to old fashioned understandable, honest, sustainable economics
suddenly people will see very clearly that republicans didn't
and don't actually conserve anything
"progressives" can't define, much less create
"progress" since borrowing topsoil from conquered "neighbors"
and from the future
has been the opposite of progress for over 3000 years
atomic bombs and atomic energy progress????
DK, i've been asking you for many years now
to give up the "progress" growth development myths
join forces with the few true conservers (the verb)
save our species, and many others, from extinction
NOW! Not tomorrow. NOW!!
Sincerely,
mc K9
PS #1
this proposal has the added bonus
splitting the Republican party
& hopefully destroying the fascist portion of it
the Transition Party or "T party", for short,
GTP will replace the GOP gradually or swiftly
in many predominantly rural states
and our foreign policy
will finally shift toward peace making
a grateful world will continue to buy
some of our 'transition to sustainability' bonds
we can solve all our real problems by decentralizing
increasing genuine democracy
PS #2
libertarian socialism has never been tried
must be local can't be national or 'nazi'
anything "too big to fail" will fail eventually
PS #3
ask Ron Paul's office to propose a Peace Department
in 250 words or less
PS #4
propose an Eco-Balance Department in same spirit
250 words or less

true conservers conserve truth

true conservers conserve truth

Constitution claims the minds of originalists
link Declaration's language to each word in Bill o Rights
aboriginalists link floundering fathers
to the constitution behind the Constitution too
their hopes for our sustainable non-totalitarian future
in balance with Nature through and through
"laws of Nature and of Nature's God" guide us
not God's Nature, Nature's God!
let's get unilaterally unliteral
& sing bacteria in the sod
hum bacteria in each human gut
& in the forest floor
it's Gaia and Gaia only
knows what each bug is for
we have strayed from laws of Nature
splicing genes and shuffling species
cloning clones killing forests
sending drones
we have defied and lied to Gaia
who keeps winking but must deplore us
pause many times each day
meditate on shrinking speciation
see great great grandchildren
gazing on desert desolation
who are we to destroy
our great sustainer
the Creation

local reskilling for interdependance

"The Great Reskilling" (#5 of N=7 Great Transition themes)
seems deadly serious with killing inside but we hear rescue too
& recognition of blake's hands & fingers feeling grains, eternal sands
feeling rebirth of four fold vision seared & obliterated by satanic mills
great themes of Reskilling, Localization, and Interdependence
(#5, #4, & #7) ad up to 16 Buddhist "middle ways" of right action
can be taken up immediately by any small but dedicated group
anywhere people looking for jobs, useful work, well spent 20 hr week

"local reskilling for interdependance" as a slogan here in USA
can be picked up instantly by energetic teapartiers by green anarchists
by formerly enraged resenters, but now engaged Buddhists
by quaker/shaker revivalists quietest for centuries stomping blues again
by saliant ecostarians by ANY little group that wants to place a modest bet
on the joyous sustainable future NOW -- & seven generations out!

another sonette solution

republicans know only perpetual war of terror
and total corpstate waste
democrats try hard to destroy the world with progress
growth, development & 'good taste'
this leaves a huge gaping whole
where healthy conserving ought to be
an emptiness filled with passives and bewilderds
trying to find a place

libertarian socialism of the jazz band
the working paradigm of nola's 2nd line
Declaration of In(ter)depenDance
is something for each body to define
tuba mira contains the poems & slogans
spargens sonum is our design

buried a young fox

found young fox dead in the road this day dawning
stopped the car & put on the blinker warning
wet from rain red blood bled from the head
same fox watched from our window many a morning

picked it up by the tail and put it in the grass
big black ears will hear no more -- alas
started to cry but told my eyes to remain dry
acceptance, yet roadkill makes me visit the past

how many mashed bodies have i pulled to the side
dug hole between pawpaw seedlings let body slide
filled in, piled stones, someone may find the bones
a dwarfish ballad hides humility behind pride
