NEW POLITICAL VISION
Where there is no vision, the people perish: . . . – Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)
BACKGROUND
I have a new political vision. I envision a country where citizen politicians outnumber professional politicians, where politicians communicate their values and vote their values unencumbered by monetary considerations from large donors to their campaign for re-election. I envision a country where peacemaking is the preferred method of conflict resolution and war-making is only used in extreme cases of self-defense. I envision a country where people believe it is more important to help each other than to accumulate vast amounts of wealth. I envision a country that is willing to live with less, rather than destroy the environment in which it lives.
