Designing responsible, proactive statutes and public policies. A society that has chosen to move toward social stability and then to sustainability would see abortions and unwanted children as a symptom of an earlier unresolved social problem. Such a society would have already become aware of the painful reality that unplanned and unwanted children have on functional, loving and nurturing family dynamics. Each additional child makes the family less and less sustainable and functional because there are less and less human, financial and social resources available for every existing child, the new child, parents and their local community. Over-population beginning in the family setting, (with or without a husband/father being present), and extended globally, is the primary cause of material and social Unsustainability.
When we recognize the linkage of “the one affects the whole,” as described above, we have begun to see that contemporary statutes and social policies have less and less relevance to the functionality and stability of societies.
When we recognize this connection and the embellished ramifications of Colorado Amendment 67, we begin to see how over the decades national and state statutes and social policies (approved by the public or their representatives) have reinforced the paternalism of government while decreasing the personal, social, political and economic responsibilities of citizens. It is bewildering and infinitely confusing to listen to the two political parties in the U.S. Many ordinary voters ask, “What are the conservative and liberal points of view?” During this 2014 mid-term election year I have not heard one rational question or answer relating to “Does it work to help develop social stability, social sustainability and increasingly responsible behavior on the part of individual citizens?”
New political party strategy. In this election year political parties look like they are groping to develop a connection to voters that would promote their candidates. What voter would deny their vote for political planks and candidates that support social stability and a maturing relationship between the voter and their elected and appointed public executives, government? America and all developed democratic nations need political planks that seek to create solutions to social issues rather than applying their “finger in dam” fixes to perennial social problems that reek of social decay. The process to do so already exists. It only takes the will to try that is wanting.
