I spent some of yesterday afternoon immersed in Indries Shah's THE WAY OF THE SUFI and presently I am a scant 28 pages from its completion . I had hoped to find the mystical qualities that enriches Zen Buddhism, and to my delight there is significant mystical Qualities in Sufism, as well as the same WTF inscrutability . I LOVE that . What I did not expect to find was any political 'isms' that characterize THE TAO TE CHING and among them ANY that would prescribe a remedy for Modern Day democrats' affliction, their inability to directly communicate with what is commonly referred to as "the General Public" . I mean it this way : there's "Out There" and then there's "WAY THE FUCK OUT THERE . Sufi's have spent what seems to be EONS in an effort to provide the Teaching to just us reg'lar Folk and when that Teaching has been less well received they insist that it is because the Instructor or Teacher has NOT taught at a the level of the student . We hear this same accusation from democratic strategists who are near bitter because of mis-communication, Cynicism resulting . Most Folks are not Philosophers, nor do they have a penchant for Political Science, and even most of their Religious Activities are devoid of direct contact with National and World Concerns .
Thing is this, Candidates MUST afford potential voters the Policies to which they attend, meaning, those Policies that will contribute to the general Health and Welfare of the voters they are 'courting' . These 'policies' are correctly referred to as "Kitchen Table Economics" --- it's Kitchen Table because that's where bills are addressed and paid . Here it is where the ISSUES aren't really issues so much as they are COMMON, EVERY-DAY >>>COSTS<<< . Technically, it's all about ARITHMETIC and as such, the NUMBERS, in dollar amounts, that need to be balanced in order to maintain and secure one's and one's Family accounting .
The Voters' Question is savagely blunt : What are you gonna do to help ME and my FAMILY ? It don't get no plainer .
