Poor society. The disintegrating middle and the road warriors of legend.

Poor society.  The disintegrating middle and the road warriors of legend. 
Whence there was once a strong and vibrant middle class around to reflect upon and infuse society with the banalities of the bourgeoisie and the stabilities of the safe and secure and the passing appreciations for the good things on earth and the worlds that projected and protected them ....
The rosy lens of that once upon a time was set in a different milieu, in a world where a broad swath of all aspired to be thinkers and tinkers and aspired to take a critical look at the passing parade.  The paradigm shift had not yet occurred.  The battles and jungles that serve as the fine and mellow templates of societal norms had not yet been firmly established.  Might had not yet made right.  Dominance had not yet broken through as the word of the heart.
Poor society.  The disintegrating middle and the road warriors of legend.  All hail.

Lower standards for acceptable ideas, ideals, principles, minds of value surface ... the dumbing down of admired behavior rises.

Lower standards for acceptable ideas, ideals, principles, minds of value surface ... the dumbing down of  admired behavior rises.

The world gets smaller.  Globalization gets stronger.  Communications get quicker.  Interactions get more open, less filtered.  Mean levels of active, interactive populations decrease their levels of sophistication, awareness, shading, critical abilities effecting global, national norms, acceptable thought.  Samples affecting global discourse are larger and larger, less evolved, less intellectually curious, aware, questioning, doubting.  Lower standards for acceptable ideas, ideals, principles, minds of value surface ... the dumbing down of  admired behavior rises.

Passions, need, want, revenge, autocracy have greater, unchallenged intellectual worth.  From the bottom floats up mores, ideas that attract.  Values of what was once deemed to be the essences of civilization can no longer be supported.   Based upon the premises that they are those of an enlightened mind, and enlightened population ..... these premise are in doubt.

New parameters have new standards.  Vast ideas of moral, cultural equivalence come without questioning standards.  The mights of guided passions make may rights.  The embraces of those seemingly disenfranchised or less powerful allow for less questioning.  Standards move over time.  Some directions are ominous.

The rise to rule may go ..... Synthesis works in the lands of the healthy

The rise to rule may go ..... Synthesis works in the lands of the healthy

Once again.  All political systems, dream political systems, mock political systems, scam systems delve into the prospective, possible, proposed balance of rights, obligations, powers between and among the individual, the society.  Rights, powers, times of same supersede or not those of the other.

The rise to power may with the individual be unchecked.  The rise to rule may go towards the homogenous whole defining standards, behaviors, mores, allocations of resource.  Totalitarianism may crush from either direction.

The fight is always joined by those who flock to the seek the wings of the spectrum.  Loyalties, hopes, hatreds ride with the aims of those who see power, unbridled through the filters of their orientations.

For ever and always we have irresistible forces, immovable objects.  Synthesis works in the lands of the healthy.  In the lands not so conflict is enjoined.

Resource, will, interest desire are engines for action. Vibrant public spheres is what we got.

Resource, will, interest desire are engines for action.  Vibrant public spheres is what we got. 

All good capitalists know that a society puts its resources into areas it values, areas that provide efficiency and worth.  Since we, here at home, value the checks and balances of politics and power it follows that our time, treasure, attention and energy be allocated some in that direction.  And it is.  The hammering of partisan virtue and candidates for sale show that the wars of money and effort are there to balance the public trust.  Resource is efficiently allocated and the government is a good power broker and all benefit from the process.

Watchdogs and  kind, media, press, interested parties and such are in an era of access to funds, abilities, cooperation and interest so that they can serve well their function as fourth and/ or fifth branches of government.  They provide bang for the buck opening up the lines of power that push and pull at the all of everyday life.

Resource, will, interest desire are engines for action.  Vibrant public spheres is what we got.  None rancid.
