FIVE:
For Christmas I would like a return of the past recognition of media as the 4th branch of government where, as interpreted by me, it's specific mention/protection in the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution codifies a segment of media outlet business plans as one more check and balance on government for The People.
FOUR:
For Christmas I would like the return of the Fairness Doctrine which, also as interpreted by me,
declares media a public communications service and. keeping in the spirit of it's
4th branch of government status, subjects it to an
obligation to cover issues of importance to The People, providing
equal time for the opposition.
THREE:
For Christmas I would like
to wake up on Christmas morning and turn on my laptop and discover an
upward trend in the level of education of the American People in, but
not limited to, areas of academics, technical skills and civics
literacy.
TWO:
For Christmas I would like
to see an awakening in the American People, building on an upward
trend in the education of the American People, to the idea that we
are a global society and any American President must perform his or her job on behalf of the success of the of our nation through that lens.
ONE:
For Christmas I would
like to see an acknowledgement that Black Lives do Matter and I would
like to see action taken by anyone in the vicinity of the White House who witnesses racists waving
their confederate flags and screaming their hateful slurs outside of
the home of the 1st Black Family in America, i.e. say
something.
And ~ that's it!
Have a wonderful Holiday
Season!
PS: Should it be a time of year anyone struggles with that "wonderful Holiday Season!" mantra, I am sending some positive energy. If you need it, it is yours...
