I use to wonder why the right wing is so strong and the liberals so weak and the progressives so marginalized. But I have come to realize that is because the right is always out there working hard to take this country away from everyone else. They are up early and doing what ever it takes as long as it takes. The liberal just want to make nice, feed at the corporate trough and not rock the boat to much. And progressives well, hmm, why are there not more of us?
Janice Joplin tells a story on one of her songs. She says that the chick down stairs is always getting laid. And she isn’t. Janice says the girl is cool but not that cool. So she wants to know her secret. So Janice does something she doesn’t usually do. She gets up early and stakes the girls apartment out. Janice follows her and finds out why she is getting more than Janice.
The secret is that the girl tires harder. So than Joplin sings the truth.” You got to try harder.” I was listening to Steve Jobs of Apple fame and he said something like. “The secret of his success is to build wonderful products that people really want” We have to develop visions that inspires people and live those visions long enough and beautifully enough to inspire people to dance with us.
The liberals vision is weak and corrupt. Look at the Democrats. The right has many visions that they live. Fox is one that came true because they made a media that inspires people even though the inspiration is toxic. Air America went bankrupt. What does that tell you? Listen to Janice.
