Democracy in Action in Libya

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-19680785

This could be an interesting turn of events.

Who was left with all the power when Qaddafi was overthrown?

The militias.

It's true they have a government with official backing from the international community.

But it very well be that the militias have become the real power brokers in Libya since the fall of Qaddafi.

And it appears that people are not happy about that.

Good for democracy.

In fact, this is democracy in action.

But where it will lead, I don't know.

As it is with most revolutions.

Which is why/how it's best that they be avoided.

Better to acquiesce to the needs of people, rather than try to keep putting a square peg in a round hole.

And carry out the needed revolution in private, rather than in public.

Democrats.

It's your choice, if you win and have control of House, Senate and Presidency.

Keep things as it is.

Or change it up to make it work effectively for everyone, including and not limited to, those elites whom you have taken treats from.

Think about it.

Cause this is the end of the Age of Capitalism, so to speak.

Unresponsive.

Callous.

And driven towards both the destruction of the small self through the destruction of the larger self that is the social and environmental world that you find yourself in.

And it's only in your brain that it's going to be different, I think.

Silly brains.

Think about it.

Silly brains indeed.
