Photo by   Brannon Naito   on   Unsplash . First published on Medium . . We must take the watchdog concept and process to a much greater level. No person, politician, party, or profit pursuer is immune from the influences of power. The facts are absolutely in. We all know of someone close who has failed to make the cut. If you are human, you have been tempted to take the   supposedly easier   path rather than fight the power, and even fallen short of perfection yourself. If you think your perfection is still solid, you may be less trustworthy with power than those who admit to a fall, or a fail. . Since transgressions of power will happen, with potential in every entity, our citizenship requires us to be massively more vigilant, and always strong when fighting the power is required. To accomplish this task, we need an extensively watchful, wary, skeptical eye doing the work, along with counteracting stature and influence. That solution is what I present below, b...

Questions such as this keep me up nights. Well, at least get me up earlier than usual. Or keep me mostly awake during the day… Via Urban Dictionary. . Do I sell such an idea by putting my finger up in the air to gauge which way the political marketing wind is blowing, or do I explain it the way I believe it must be explained to show how strong my confidence is in it? Okay. Fine. Then what if that takes decades to get to the right person? And I am gone, and the person who finds it says, “I wish I would have known about this idea earlier, or the crank was still...
