This blog is not about politics.  It is, in part, about the benefits of putting power in the hands of people to decide things for themselves.  This link with the slightly misleading title "Vermont Votes to Impeach Bush/Cheney" is a terrific example.  Where else on Earth could this happen but here?  I almost wrote – what other country on Earth would allow… – and then caught myself.  In America we are not ALLOWED our freedoms.  They are ours from birth.  We, the people, allow the government to administer the country.  Democracy is bottom up.  There are so many things in life where we’ve been trained to believe that certain things are "allowed" us when in reality the power is all ours to begin with.  Anyone who’s ever gardened knows what I’m talking about.  "You mean I’m not just stuck with the crap I can buy at the supermarket??"  We’ve just been brainwashed.  The power to take control of things in your life is yours (to take ).  And it’s addictive.
