"...government in its best state is but a necessary evil, in its worst state
an intolerable one..."
Thomas Paine: Common Sense, published January 10th, 1776
Another Call for America's Second Revolution
The Gazette is an on-line newsletter concerned with
the renewal of
public life - or as we too often write, politics.
Its main focus is America, but its
principles are applicable to most forms of democracy.
The original issues of the Gazette
were published in 1998, and concerned laying out a
general set of conceptions along the lines
of this website, but applicable to public life in particular.
These PAST issues have a certain validity
in themselves. Also being published are
a set of PRESENT issues, which will be an ongoing
commentary concerning contemporary happenings in the
light of an organic and spiritual
view of public life, social existence and the general
conditions of modern civilization.
The Greenville Millennium Gazette is being published on-line from Greenville,
New Hampshire, beginning in the fall of 1998. It's editorial aim was to at
least play a role in the year 2000 Presidential primaries in New Hampshire.
This
did not happen. Nevertheless, the Gazette continues, and now
finds a new role (see below).
Issues of the Gazette consist of two types.
The original issues, seven in number, are listed
under the term THE PAST
. They are important
mainly for the development of
a certain theme
of possibilities latent in public
life. The more recent
issues are listed under the term
THE PRESENT
. Here will
be found ongoing commentary on
day to day political
matters, as the author considers
necessary.
THE PRESENT
Issue # 8 - containing various
comments about current events
THE PAST
We live in dangerous times. Economic and racial violence boils
beneath the surface of American society. It is an open question whether
we can navigate these perilous waters without some great tragedy.
Our freedom's have been eroded for more than a
hundred years, by the gradual
replacement of our American Republic with a corrupt
and profit worshiping
tyranny of concentrated wealth. The great
decisions all now go against the needs
of the people; and only the corporation's interests
are served
by our morally impotent elected officials.
We can do something about this without resorting
to violence.
But we cannot do what is needed by remaining passive.
The central question is not what are the corporations
going to do next,
but whether we are going to continue to tolerate
the continued
economic enslavement of ourselves and our children
for the benefit of a few.
A
Second American Revolution is an absolute necessity.
Yet it is not necessary to
tear apart
our society in order to heal it.
The real question we need to ask
ourselves is whether we love America?
Do we care enough to undertake the
necessary tasks?
We can have a
Non-violent Revolution!
So ask yourself: Are you willing
to get involved?
To take risks? To hope?
To try?
The time to act will pass by, if we do not begin
now.
Seize the Day! Get involved in Politics!

you will need.
The Greenville Millennium Gazette
is unique
in that it borrows some of its style
from the days of America's founding,
and so includes: news analysis, editorial
material,
a seriel novel, as well as a philosopher's
page
