Bureaucracy corrodes DEMOCRACY
We read in our newspapers - themselves highly bureaucratic in
their power structure - that the RIGID FBI bureaucracy works against
the very purpose of the organization - INFORMATION gathering and
analysis- inseparable from its practical activities.
I am reminded of the scandals in the Catholic Church : how
could the bishop not know about all this, how could the Cardinal, the
Pope not know ?
Here in Rhode Island : How could our Mayor " Buddy " Cianci not
know about the low-life corruption right under his nose ?
We should realize that DEMOCRACY is confined to a very limited
area of our life: on election day we get to vote for tweedle-dum or
tweedle-dee. On the job - working for the COMPANY or in some government
office - DEMOCRACY - independent judgment, QUESTIONING the big shots is
not to be tolerated. Fear and intimidation reinforce the pecking order.
The last thing that is respected is TRUTH !
A nation of rude and brainless robots is determined to save
Democracy -and protects us from more brainless robots - who kill
themselves and many innocents for the greater glory of Allah .
The average American worker is living in a stunned trance.
He fears waking up one morning and realizing that his life is meaningless
because he is NOT free, not even free to THINK the truth !
Just tell the TRUTH about ANYTHING and see how fast you climb
the agonizing ladder of success !
