New bricks? Where do we find theses new bricks, how do we install them? the path toward separation and Independence is clear. To burn down a house that is already burning is not so difficult a thing to accomplish.
As for trusting anyone on the new foundation that is a bridge we have yet to cross, and hopefully one we shall see and time before us to layout carefully.
As to your fruitless community efforts, I can only say I sympathies with your plite as I see it being the future of all our plites should we remain united with such a universality corrupt population as that which perhaps dominates your city, and certant areas of theses “united States”.
It is my opinion that once men have been made so depended upon the explosive and thieving machine that is big governed their souls having been lost their body serve only the evil that is the machine.
The city of Sodom that is your home perhaps cannot be saved, you should in my humble opinion look to your options to make like Lot and leave. As a Civilization it seem increasingly likely that we will have to do like wise(thou Revolution(IE: Secession)).
That is the point that is being made here.
Got it, so I have a couple choices here.
I can pick up and leave my home, friends and family due to the ‘plight’ of having failed at electing a more honorable mayor. Hmmmm, let me think about this....I can stay and work towards change, or cut bait and run, do I have that right?
The bricks are a metaphor and you get ‘them’ with decent people who are ready and willing to do the work to rebuild.
When you make a judgement that ‘man’ has collectively ‘sold his soul’, all I can only react with dismay. I hardly see our nation through that lens and 2010 being at least some measure of how dead wrong I believe you to be.
So, when you get your revolution going, let us know - I’m sure many would join up, but until then, it’s just idle chatter.
