this is actually expanded post built off a reply to this post:
the model i think we should strive for is a non-governmental civil society. the reason that we are so stuck with these 'higher powers' jerking us around is because we have gotten lazy, used to them taking care of us, not well, just enough so that we don't do anything. we have no alternatives, no where else to turn.
if the government doesn't take care of the streets and the parks and the people and the law and the order, we are just at a loss, i mean, we don't even have another alternative.
if there is that empty field next to your house, we have no recourse to utilization. if the street signs are messed up and there are poth***s, we are at their mercy...
and now we get ignored. its a monopoly. if they don't fix it, at this point, no one else can. there is no alternative system...
this is what we are trying to do here right?
i mean, the plot is that the governments call EVOKE when things get rough. but seriously. they don't call out to anyone. can you imagine the government just sitting down and saying 'hey, we can't do this, we need someone else to do this'. cause if this was the case, why would we go in and fix things for them and then let them go on doing the same old thing?
maybe the people would be the ones calling on EVOKE... maybe we need to start doing things for ourselves....
