More Snow Melt

Red Thursday

My response to "Invalid Entry"  by Lorien for Thursday, September 24, 2009 leading entry for "Follow the Leader" .

The problem with political systems is that they work when not taken to excess. All political systems ever practiced by any segment of the human race works for a little while and under certain circumstances. Once the system is taken to excess then it begins causing difficulties.

The problems with any system begin to appear at the grass roots level in the basic components of humanity. Families are the basic components of the human race and of political systems. Individuals are the basic components of the family, but the family is the basic component of society and of the human race.

We have to weigh the good and bad in any political system, in any system, against the way it assists family unity and survival. If the family doesn't survive then humanity won't survive. In order for the family to survive it must have some type of unity, just as the human race and society must have unity to survive.

The survival of political systems, society and the human race depend on the survival and unity of the family. Without the family there would be no political systems and no society.
