BRIGHTMOOR INSTITUTE

website by joe coleman

ENLARGE CONGRESS

The purpose of the web site, the cyber institute is to

examine the conditions of the worker, AND MAKE

THE CASE FOR A LARGER HOUSE OF

REPRESENTATIVES-WHO HOLD THE PURSE

STRINGS.

I will consider the course of events in Brightmoor

(NW Detroit) while I lived there.

Brightmoor is an area that has been destroyed as

a viable neighborhood. Twenty-five years ago it

was like Mayberry.
 

I am open minded and intellectually honest, if not

too well educated. I will do my best to explain what

happened there. This is a future goal. For now this

page examines the following:

PRIVATE OPULENCE-PUBLIC SQUALOR

Above is a phrase from a John Kenneth Galbraith

book. He wrote many books about economics and

advised President Kennedy. he was a Harvard

man and stood about 6'7" tall.

The US is a very rich nation. It is therefore puzzling

why we don't have public, one-payer health

insurance like the established European states.

Germany has used the same cradle-to-grave

medical plan it now has since the Kaiser ruled in

the 19th century. It even survived the 3rd Reich.

What is it about us? I believe politics have

disintegrated to the level of selling chewing gum

and dish soap. When the candidate spends more

time on "gay" marriage than he does the ability of

the system to provide for the sick, aged and infirm;

it is worse than George Orwell 1984 time. It is a

disaster.

I am a loyal American, to my knowledge no other

people live under such a good and liberal

constitution. This is by definition a liberal

democracy. The denigration of the word liberal in

the popular speech is sad. No matter who is in

power the US is a giving nation-in relation to the

contributions of any other nation.

How is it that we seeming cannot offer health care

and we run deficit budgets?

The best thing that could happen is we get more

democracy; or at least a little bit closer to what the

founders and authors and ratifiers of the

Constitution of the United States of America

deemed we should have!

It is not generally talked about that the constitution

calls for a member of the House of Representatives

to sit for no FEWER than 30,000 people.

Presently we have 435 members in the House.

Many states have more senators than

congressmen or congresswomen.

This number is fixed by Public Law number five of

the 62nd Congress (PubL 62-5) a 1913 federal

statute that tailored the final number to what was

deemed then to be the capacity of the Capitol

Building. In this time of building hockey rinks in

Phoenix and a whole city out of thin air like Las

Vegas; harnessing our representation to the size of

any physical structure is unnecessary and gives the

terrorist element the notion that we are so attached

to these symbolic things that we could be damaged

by the loss of them.

We ought to show the world that we can evolve; that

the nature of self government is vital, alive; and that

violence will not have the last word in this world; that

the ability to organize our lives and live together is

stronger than our resort to harm, no matter how

justified it seems.

The worries about campaign finance would be

erased if the elections became so unpredictable

they couldn't be bought or foretold; let the chips fall

where they may.

Leadership

The loss of our charismatic leaders of the sixties to

bullets is something we have not come to terms

with. Are we to accept that the most popular and

inspired leaders must all meet a similar end? That

is if they make any headway and grasp the ring of

power? Click on image of RFK to access truth

telling about those assassinations.
