The New Commoner

A broader form of capitalism called Proprietarianism offers wealth, enhanced lives and greater control of day-to-day living to common citizens. It offers the opportunity to build communities and relationships. The philosophy IS oriented toward business, but NOT necessarily big business. More "Mom & Pop" size businesses give more people more opportunities to conduct their own lives their own way.

Wonders

I wonder if it is possible, in today's climate, for a hacker to arrange for the president to butt-dial a drone attack on a major U.S. city?

I wonder if the NSA database has already been used to persuade some lawmakers, department heads, justices, etc. to think, vote or act in certain ways? That might explain some of the weird stuff coming from D.C. lately.

I wonder if it is possible to get a mulligan or a do-over on our government. Couldn't we just make a new one somewhere and cut the old one loose? Let's see... Omaha is pretty centrally located - how about there? suggestions?

I wonder if ordinary folks (like you and me) could get some local petitions going to amend our (U.S.) federal constitution. The petitions would be meant to persuade our various state legislatures to ask for a constitutional convention. Under U.S. constitution article 5, they can do that. Some amendments I would propose are: term limits (one term each) for Representative, Senators & Supreme Court Justices; Limits on government agencies; Abolish Income tax etc.

I wonder if we could go back to the old designation of "The United States are" instead of the currently popular "The United States is"?
