In order to have freedom, there are responsibilities.

There's no problem solving because there is no true identification of what the problem is. We just muddle around and around, dealing with symptoms. I learned long ago that if you don't identify a problem, you don't solve it. It's what I expect of our elected representatives and absolutely expected of Obama. In his books, he led me to believe that he understood root causes. He's missing that now.

:

Take one problem. Crowd source the description of it as a proper problem, not a symptom. Teach people how to perform this kind of process. Start with something simple. Save world hunger and endless war for when we get really good at things.

Hope there's an easy way to follow and track ideas, without having to scroll through page after page.

Our new site is based on the notion that here in the United States, you can express yourself however you want. Hey, It's a Free Country, right? But we also know that political discourse has reached a point where people are talking past, not to, each other. We've been asking our guest bloggers "What does the phrase mean to you?" and "What's broken in politics, and how do we fix it?" Now we want to hear from you! Take the Free Country survey below. You don't have to answer all of the questions, just tell us what's on your mind.
