My name is Joseph Young, a Millennia...Dr. Kaiser, <br /><br />My name is Joseph Young, a Millennial and I am the father of Civicism, a new political ideology for a new order, and I seek to contact you because I have taken a great interest in your ideas and experience. Such ambition from a young man may seem foolhardy, but had I failed to find confidence in myself I would be without any confidence at all. <br /><br />Civicism is an ideology that believes in the Significance of the individual and the importance of constructing successful relationships between individuals. Our relationships are based upon expectations (future conditions) that we strive to uphold and if we are successful in constructing these expectations, we have a successful relationship. <br /><br />A successful relationship in Civicism is where individuals, for the sake of their opportunity, will possess Dignity (Place expectations) and Responsibility (Uphold expectations). These expectations must be Fair (Without bias or harmful intention), Rational (capable of resolving Concerns) and Wise (promote positive behaviors in others; a throwback to Virtue Ethics). Finally, the relationships will be defined by Inclusion (Incorporating all needs within the relationship), Compassion (Understanding and seeing worth in the concerns of another) and Individuality (Accepting independence of the Concerns of another). When these expectations are all upheld and differences are resolved, then we have achieved Justice (Resolving the concerns of all parties) between individuals. <br /><br /><br />Therefore, a Civic strives to ask of others, do what they are asked, hold positive intentions toward others, achieve their intended desires, promote positive changes in others, include what others want, understand what others want, accept what others want, and redefine expectations to allow for success between all interested parties. <br /><br />Although that sentence may make common sense, I can assure you I lack common sense, for I have spent two years composing it! <br /><br />Civicism is both original, because it constructs its own language, and restorative, because it is a throwback to Democratic Socialism. More importantly, I recognize a lot of Civicism in you and therefore I seek to find as few allies as I can manage. (Dean Baker and his CEPR buddies are the others that come to mind). I am not sure if you are capable of helping me, though, and besides an enjoyable conversation, I will probe to see if this could be a productive relationship. <br /><br />If you are interested, send me an email at jyoungr@gmu.edu; I have prepared a lengthy essay that has yet to find an editor willing to take the challenge of editing it. This essay is a philosophical understanding of Civiicism, in its most concentrated form, before it is broken down into metaphor and emotions. At the very least, perhaps my ignorance may be entertaining for you (although I can assure you my grammar will not!) <br /><br />If not, I hope your retirement goes for the best! <br /><br />Finally, I would ask that you refrain from publishing this comment on the internet, as this comment was a means to contact you specifically. I tried the fourth turning forums, but was unable to reach you. <br /><br />Regards,<br />Joseph YoungAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460215708996644977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746692.post-54990392261604269012012-08-27T21:13:33.435-04:002012-08-27T21:13:33.435-04:00Well put - however, do you think Obama has shown A...Well put - however, do you think Obama has shown ANY ability to lead this country? I don't think so. He continues to contradict himself and after trying the first time to stimulate the economy (which didn't work) he wants to do it again?sinmurrietahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01428448294949002989noreply@blogger.com
