Argonauts: 31; Roughriders: 21; TDG: 0 — I don’t watch that many sports. But for some strange reason, I like watching the Canadian Football League (CFL); I probably catch one game a week on TV. I never had any interest in playing this rough game. Just watching. The CFL is a strange league where Canadian cities compete…

Co-ops are natural soil for the TDG — In July, a fellow from the UK somehow found the TDG. We started talking on LinkedIn and then later switched to regular email. Peter Gregory belongs to a large co-op in the UK. He was finding similarities between the governance in his co-op and the TDG. His co-op has divided…

Book Review: “The Yugas” by Joseph Selbie (2011) — “The Yugas” references two books I had read 40 years ago: 1) “The Holy Science” written by Swami Sri Yukteswar in 1894. 2) “Autobiography of a Yogi” written by Swami Paramahansa Yogananda (a disciple of Yukteswar) in 1946. The first book I found unbelievable: I couldn’t fathom how humanity’s destiny…

But can I overcome my Medium Addiction? — I joined Medium in April 2019. By June 2019, I figured that I was unlikely to find success in promoting my alternative democracy on Medium. I was not getting the results I was looking for. Yet I stayed another three years. “Why?” you might be asking. Two reasons. First, Medium…

Coming to a country near you! — I’m a fan of the Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov, which I’ve read three times (maybe four). Mr. Asimov prophesizes that democracy is not forever. It has a shelf life of two to three centuries. Then, society reverts to an oligarchy of some kind. It’s just human nature. And Mr…

Twenty-five years and what do you get? — This year marks the 25th year I’ve been working on my alternative democracy: Tiered Democratic Governance (TDG). Here is a quick history of this project. My Political Days: 1986–1992 To change the world, I thought I needed to be on the inside of a political party, where my superior intellect would be of better…

Should we continue? Should we quit? — Watching the last two years of the Biden administration has been painful. It seems to me that this administration had been given three golden eggs to win elections: federal minimum wage, student debt forgiveness, and enhancing Obamacare. These were vote-getters for 2022 and 2024. Even if these initiatives failed in…

It’s time for a new way! — In a previous article, I was critical of those Medium writers who were suggesting that the Supreme Court was an illegitimate institution because it overturned Roe vs. Wade. They have all sorts of logical reasons for their position. The Supreme Court Is Not the Problem Nor is the constitutionmedium.com Since 1997, I have been working on an alternative democracy. This idea…

Nor is the constitution — Style Warning: It is my preference to spell “constitution” without the capital “C.” This is my signal to remind people that this document is far from perfect. With the reversal of Roe v. Wade, more than a few Medium contributors have been deriding the Supreme Court as an illegitimate institution…
