The Purer Democratic Path Forward…
Since we are hardly ever ready for change, we may as well pursue it now!
“Change undermines our fantasy of sovereignty.” – James Hollis, Living Between Worlds.

My ideas have always tended toward the advanced, and comprehensive when it came to resolving any major social issue or public policy. While this may be a very lofty perspective, or even sound arrogant, it’s also a curse. The experience I bring to the table is not nonexistent. Though that experience does not necessarily rise as high as my ideas range wide. The curse is associated with my ideas either being ahead of their time, most charitably, or being pure idealistic illusion, again charitably. Less charitably, I’m a futurist crank, or a lost-in-the-clouds kook.

After returning to college in the mid 1990s, I wrote a college paper about improving mass transit in the Twin Cities, i.e. the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metro area. Each student was asked to write about that same subject. If I remember correctly, the professor had experience in developing public policy. Anyway, my idea centered on a technology that would inform all riders exactly where their bus was on a map, how long before it arrived, and each transfer required on their route.
