Too Much Power

It has been very aptly stated that humanity can handle most anything — money, property, social mores; everything but Power. We simply are “all thumbs: when it comes to our orchestrating this thing called “authority.” The scenario never fails to deliver a chaotic chorus. From the beginning of time (to our knowledge) the human mind, spirit, and wherewithal… has fallen into disarray when entrenched with the prerogative to render a hearty “yea or nay.’’ For some crazy reason, we are not capable of harnessing the melody that delivers mirth. The best example of what I speak, is born out of observing the Chief Executive of our Nation — as they dare to repair the blemish inherited. No phrase (or reasoning) can convince me that “Founding Fathers” meant for any man (or woman) to “tilt the wheel”— as has been our treat. In short, the President of these United States is insidiously entrusted with more power than he (or she) can intelligently maneuver.

To expand the narrative, no one person should be able to approve Federal Aid — intervene on National Monuments — close the well (water or oil) — or quell arguments surrounding Third World — or grease the trapeze for ballot harvesting! That speaks volumes surrounding autocracy. That error in creating courage and clout years ago has become obvious. The original mentality allowing Executive Action may well be approved — albeit the practice of unrestrained journeys into a (hither-to prohibitive slate) — now dictates that Amendments be introduced. To trample on the sample of Democracies, Rights, and Liberties, as one voice screams the route; is tantamount to rule by a belligerent. While we often embrace controversial Proclamations — the methodology of assuming the role as “emperor” is always questionable. To invite a consensus (of corporate intelligence) is always a better posture, regardless of who occupies the High Seat!

In the interim, elected personalities (with a balanced representation of all ruling parties); should formulate binding rules that do not hinder a CEO from Chairing the Meet on Policy, but clearly depart from real estate which “taps the strap” of rational governing principles. The presence of ego and greed will likely prevent such from ever happening.
