Democracy -
of the people; for the people; by the people.
|
| Continue the Experiments |
|
|
Thus, cheerful and optimistic as always,
Benjamin Franklin wrote friends in France that
"we are making Experiments in Politicks, but that
American affairs mend daily and
are getting into good order very fast."
|
"we are making Experiments in Politicks..."
When did you stop the experiments.
Why did you stop the experiments.
Stop means End.
End means Dead.
When you stop your search for Excellence,
your growth stops; your development stops.
No Growth; No Development means...
It is Dead.
Democracy is a Living thing.
Democracy is just like a living tree.
You need to take good care of it.
You need to water the tree.
When you stop taking care of your democracy,
When you stop watering your plants,
it will die.
"...but that American affairs mend daily and
are getting into good order very fast."
That was the dream of your Founding Fathers.
When did American affairs stop improving?
Do you expect American affairs improve
automatically without your involvement?
Benjamin Franklin had been experimenting with
Electricity, Lightning, Fire Service, Library and
finally with the Constitution towards the end of his life.
What is your excuse for not improving the Democracy?
|
...American affairs mend daily and
are getting into good order very fast."
|
Automatically...do you expect?
Do they mend daily and
Are they getting into good order very Fast?
Ask Yourself.
You know the Answer.
American affairs deteriorate very fast.
That is the inconvenient truth.
Who is going to fix it?
It is Your Responsibility.
It is the Responsibility of each American.
When each American realizes the Truth and transforms himself,
America as a whole transforms.

At the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia
on September 18, 1787, a Mrs. Powel anxiously awaited the results,
and as Benjamin Franklin emerged from the long task now finished,
asked him directly: "Well Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
"A republic if you can keep it" responded Franklin.
|
"A republic if you can keep it" responded Franklin.
This statement is valid for all times.
Republic will survive only if you can keep it.
Republic will be dead, if you can not keep it.
Ask your inner self, Do you still keep your Republic?
What do you keep now - is not a Democracy or a Republic.
What do you keep now - is Political Entertainment.
It is an Entertainment by those Politicians & CNN.
You keep repeating this Political Entertainment every four years.
Do you see a George Washington or Benjamin Franklin or
Thomas Jefferson in the current Presidential Candidates?
Was this, the current state of America, the dream of your Founding Fathers?
Do you see any of the current leaders as the Founding Fathers of Modern America?
"A Republic, If YOU Can Keep It"
The YOU is YOU.
It is Your Country; Your Democracy; Your Republic.
If you label yourself as a Democrat, You can not keep the Democracy.
If you label yourself as a Republican, You can not keep the Republic.
If you realize the fact & truth that
You as the People of America, then
You can keep both Democracy & Republic.
