Traveling from Then to Now, I'm looking for ways to explain how a simple world, appearing complex, is still simple. Trust Yourself. Not the famous, rich, glamorous, lionized or glorified.

Indiana Republicans under attack from Trump as state-wide Republican lawmakers stand back at allow it to go on.
Question: How does anyone vote for a Republican to enable this kind of governance? And then whine: "I didn't sign up for this?" Did the military?

This may be true for getting elected, but is a problem legislating and governing. If there are 100 philosophies, where is the governance? If each of the 100 is more invested in THEIR philosophy than compromise or acceptance, we are in stasis. I have suggestions. Only.

The Supreme Court (John Roberts) ruled that companies are people. They have individual rights.
But in fact, they are cannibals. They feed on what OUR Society builds, pay little taxes and fix their own prices. Highways, internet, healthcare, education, wages, income. They are parasitic cannibals.
