Lungisa uMbutho woXolo: Musa ukubuza Musa ukuthi ayisebenzi

NguEd O'Rourke

Iinkokeli kunye namalungu amaninzi ombutho woxolo akholelwa ekuthetheni omnye nomnye kwaye enze kancinci okanye angabikho nzame yokufikelela kwabo banovelwano. Ndikubonile oku kuyo yonke indawo yewebhu yoxolo. Abathethi nabani na ongekabikho kulo mbutho.

Abagcini bendalo benza elona dama linokubakho lovelwano. Bayaqonda ukuba uluntu aluyi kuphumeza i-90% yokunciphisa i-carbon dioxide emissions nje ngokusebenzisa izibane ze-corkscrew. Uxolo oluhlaza okanye uxolo ngawo nawuphi na umbala lufuna uhlengahlengiso olukhulu kuhlahlo lwabiwo mali lokhuselo, inkqubo yentolongo yase-US, inkqubo yokhathalelo lwempilo yase-US, kunye nento ebizwa ngokuba yimfazwe yeziyobisi, singasathethi ke nge-No Child Left Behind test prep education that our children are. yenzeka.

Omnye umntu osebenza naye wathi, "Ukuba awuceli, awufumani." Cela inyanga. Iqela lasekhaya le-Houston Democrats likhuphe isiBhengezo saseBraeswood, libiza:

1. ukuqala inkqubo yehlabathi yokulwa intlupheko,
2. ukurhafisa ukuthengiswa kwezixhobo kumazwe ngamazwe,
3. ukuqala ukumiswa kophando lwezixhobo,
4. ukunciphisa uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lomkhosi wase-US nge-50%,
5. ukuqeqesha imikhosi yethu exhobileyo ukuze incede kwiintlekele,
6. ukuseka iSebe lezoXolo kwikhabhinethi,
7. ukunciphisa izixhobo zenyukliya zibe zero okanye phantse zero, kwaye,
8. uthethathethwano ngazo zonke izixhobo zenyukliya zehlabathi ukuba zihambe zilumkise.

Ezi zingcebiso zam zombutho woxolo:

1. Bhala amanqaku anamanyathelo athile (njengeSibhengezo saseBraeswood) ukuphumeza uxolo lwehlabathi. Ndinikezela ngenqaku lam, "Isibhengezo seBraeswood: Ukupheliswa kweMfazwe," http://txgreens.org/drupal/node/52 kunye neenguqu ezincinci zingabhekiswa kumaqela athile. Ndifake isicatshulwa esivela kuDouglas MacArthur ngenxa yerekhodi lakhe lomkhosi elingenasiphelo kunye neengxelo zakhe zokubhangisa imfazwe. Ndandifuna ukubonisa ukuba amaqhawe ahlukeneyo kwaye kungekhona nje ama-hippies, amaQuaker kunye neeprofesa zekholeji zephiko lasekhohlo baye bakhuthaza ukupheliswa kwemfazwe.Ncoma amanyathelo athile kwinqaku lakho. Kukho iingxelo ezininzi ezineenjongo ezintle ezifana neKellogg Briand Pact ye-1928 engakhange ichaze isiphakamiso sekhonkrithi esinye sokuphelisa imfazwe.
2. Thumela amagqabantshintshi kwiileta zeendaba zendalo esingqongileyo, iimagazini zelizwe kunye namaphephandaba asekuhlaleni.
3. Cela iingcebiso kumaqela okusingqongileyo, amasebe angaphakathi kwiidyunivesithi, iicawe, abagqatswa bezopolitiko, amaqela ezopolitiko kunye neRotary Clubs.
4. Kwiiwebhsayithi zoxolo, nikeza imibuzo (izichaso) ezivela kubantu abacinga ukuba ingcamango ayinakwenzeka. Nika iimpendulo. Umzekelo, umntu unokuthi ngekhe saphulukana neMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi ukuba besilandele iqhinga loxolo. Okanye uYesu wathi ziya kuhlala zikho iimfazwe. Imfazwe yinxalenye yendalo yomntu. Bona oku: Ed, Enkosi ngokwabelana nge-"Braeswood Isibhengezo: Ukupheliswa kweMfazwe". Yinto entle ukuba uyazithanda iinkolelo zakho zezopolitiko. Ngelishwa, ubunyani babantu bokwenyani njengoHitler, uStalin, Pot, Bin Ladin, Saddam, i-ELFs njl njl kuya kwenza i-theory yakho ibe yisiphelo soluntu. Inkcitho enkulu yasemkhosini yase-US isindise uluntu. Dave Ezi zichaso ezifanelekileyo zifuna iimpendulo. Ndavakalelwa ngale ndlela de kwangowe-1969.

5. Nikezela ngento kwiwebhusayithi nganye yoxolo izizathu zokuba kutheni undwendwe lunokugatya imfazwe ngokwenyani kwaye lubeke amabali obuqu abantu abafana nam ababengamagorha e-gung-ho athe ngokuthe ngcembe abona ukungasebenzi kwemfazwe. Yonke indawo yewebhu yentengiso ixelela umtyeleli ukuba iimveliso okanye iinkonzo zabo zinokubetha njani abo bakhuphisana nabo ngexabiso, umgangatho, kunye/okanye ukuhanjiswa. Kodwa iisayithi ezingarhwebiyo ziyabaleka kwizizathu. Umzekelo, iwebhusayithi yeVatican ayinazo izizathu zokuba ngumKatolika okanye uhlale ungumKatolika.

Andikayiboni indawo yewebhu yoxolo ebonelela ngezinto eziphathekayo kunye namanqaku aphikisanayo kubaphandi, abafundi, abeendaba okanye iindwendwe eziqhelekileyo ezibonisa imephu yendlela onokufika ngayo apho (ihlabathi elinoxolo) ukusuka apha (apho iziqhushumbisi zokuzibulala okanye i-jet fighter abaqhubi beenqwelomoya bathatha ubomi obumsulwa). 6)

6. Ndiphakamisa ukuba amaqela oxolo ahlawulele iifemu zobudlelwane boluntu ukuba ziqhube amaqela agxininisekileyo aza kuchonga iinkxalabo zabachasene nemfazwe. Landela abantu abafanayo emva kokuphuhlisa iimpendulo kwizinto ezibaxhalabisayo.

7. Phuhlisa iingoma, imidlalo, iimuvi, amabali amafutshane kunye neenoveli ezibhiyozela uxolo. Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, ndeva kaMarty Robbins' “Ballad of the Alamo” okokuqala kumashumi eminyaka. Ingoma yandichukumisa, nangona ndingumntu othanda ukulwa. Iingoma ezifana ne "Crystal Blue Persuasion" nguTommy James kunye neShondells zibonisa umbono woxolo. Kubantu abadala abancinci, iingoma zikaPete Seger okanye ooqongqothwane "Nika Uxolo Ithuba" zinokuba ngumzekelo wokukhuthaza. UMariano Azuela's "The Underdogs", Gunther Glass kunye noKurt Vonnegut babonisa ukungabi namsebenzi kunye nokwenzakala komkhosi. "Zonke Zizolile kwi-Western Front" kunye nezinye iiklasikhi kunye neemuvi ezimbalwa zanamhlanje zinokubiza i-peaceniks ukuba isebenze kwaye izenzele ubukho boluntu. Amaqela oxolo kufuneka atsalele intliziyo nengqondo.

8. Ngethemba, amaqela oxolo amaKatolika aya kuyila incwadi yomthetho ukuze uPopu ayisayine equka izindululo ezithile, ezinje ngeMarshall Plan yesibini yamahlwempu ehlabathi okanye irhafu yokuthengisa kwintengiselwano yezixhobo zamazwe ngamazwe nezinye izinto. Ziphephe izinto eziqhelekileyo ezinokuthi namagorha azixhase emva koko akhale okanye axoke kamva, njengoko wenzayo uRobert McNamera okanye uRobert Gates. Emva koko, uMongameli Bush ufuna uxolo kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo akayi kuvumelana nantoni na kwinqaku elithi "Isibhengezo seBraeswood: Ukupheliswa kweMfazwe". Faka ithayimthebhile okanye ubuncinci imvakalelo yongxamiseko.

Inkcazo engacwangciswanga yobuhlanya yenza into enye ngokuphindaphindiweyo ulindele iziphumo ezahlukeneyo. Umbutho woxolo kufuneka ube yinto ekufutshane nentshukumo enkulu yokutshintsha okwenziwa ngabezopolitiko kunye neekontraka zokhuselo kwaye iguqule isiphithiphithi, intshabalalo kunye nokufa kwangoku. Amaqela oxolo kufuneka enze izinto ngokwahlukileyo ngo-2007 kwaye ukususela ngoku ukuya phambili ukufikelela kwiziphumo ezinqwenelekayo. Banokwenza imfuno yoxolo ibe yinxalenye yengxoxo yesizwe.
