My Letter - Day 2 - Where is yours? Those who stop trying go nowhere fast!

[libertypirate]

Did you know that more people die each month from their insurance situation then died in America’s worst natural disaster?

Why are the perpetrators of this so welcomed at the table to compromise my future for their own?

What makes a corporation so valuable that it has been given license to choose who lives and who dies?

Why does profiteering with a corrupt and immoral business model matter, and the needs of people so easy to compromise?

This is what I don't get if you regurgitate the insurance overhead back into the economy don't you kill two birds with one stone. You've just freed all that overhead which could be directed easily back toward economic growth. And you have stopped giving these machines license to fail us more.

Day 1

[Goldstein1984]

1. A letter a day

I'm on board. Every day - one letter to all of my elected officials.

2. I think that might be asking much of people

Although I do understand the sentiment, I would rather people do as much as they feel they can do. When we commit to more than we can accomplish we've predetermined our individual failure threshold.

Thus feel good about what you can do and try to remember to always do a little more is a better formula for success of this sort.

I share my letters with the hope that others, literally by my example do the same.

[Goldstein1984]

5. It isn't a problem for me, I think it's part of the solution

I probably already write three or four a week, sometimes more. This is something I can easily do.

Usually, they're something simple like one a wrote a few weeks ago:

Dear Mr. President,

You really screwed the pooch by recognizing the election in Honduras.

Regards,

My Name

OR:

Dear Mr. President,

You are a learned man.

You know who starts wars;

You know who benefits from wars;

You know who dies in wars.

I expected better from you.

Regards,

My Name

3. people who think that they're making a difference are so...adorably cute.

in a naive kind of way.

4. Naive enough to know that at times of great social change it falls on the

backs of individuals to force a new view of the world.

[Goldstein1984]

6. I think of it this way...

There may come a day when violence is the only way left to us.

I want to be able to say I tried every nonviolent method at my disposal first.

[readmoreoften]

7. I agree 100%

By any means necessary. Exhausting peaceful means is an excellent use of time right now.

8. The first failure is when you stop trying! /nt
