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.
