I don't understand your post. Who's the "we" that is writing history? How does an individual change the course of history? How do you hold accountable the actions of man or woman? Why haven't they been held accountable yet? How does one "order" public servants. I've been issuing them orders for years and they don't listen. I agree that it would be nice, but it what world does any of that happen?
"I don't understand your post." I know Flint, thanks for the questions.
"Who's the "we" that is writing history?" Every action past is an act of history.
"How does an individual change the course of history? " Whatever act a man or woman does to alter an existing course of events is an act that changes history.
"How does one "order" public servants?" My post can be pointed to Public government -just one example of too many to mention. It is a way of life. I'll explain by example. A few years ago in the city
i was living in, the City Council was taking steps to close a major street for a day or two a week
permanently for bicycle and pedestrian travel only. I wrote a
Notice and Order (not a complaining letter that has no standing) to every member of that Council (cc'd, of course) reminding them that the road in question was built more than 200 years ago, long before the present group of trustees came into
care of it, and that it was not their
property but only theirs to
keep in trust. I
ordered all of council to keep the road open as it is presently. I wrote to each council member by their name, and under each name I wrote
man or
woman as applicable, and, there under, I wrote "
acting as Councilor". I signed each Notice above my
calling (what some see as
name), under my calling I wrote
man; under
man I wrote
Grantor. At bottom of Notice I wrote "Compensation for order given is salaries to good servants of i, grantor". The proposal was dropped silently without record. I received no written reply. I think their legal department told them all to leave well enough alone and keep quiet.
"Why haven't they been held accountable yet?"
We hold so many Public servants accountable every day. It is just not something that the old broadcasters and old media want to mediate and the Public servants are not going to talk about it publicly or loudly and always keep records of.
"How do you hold accountable the actions of man or woman?" The whole purpose of a corporation is to avoid responsibility and accountability. Corporations have officers. But corporations do not act -only man or woman acts
as an officer
as a corporation. We don't hold officers accountable, we hold the man or the woman accountable for their
actions. How to do this? We talk, or preferably, write to the man or the woman telling them they are causing, or have caused, I a harm. If the man or the woman who has caused the harm, or is causing the harm, does not stop, we make a claim against them in a
claims court. Do not make
complaints.
I put my Public servants to work for I -not the other way around. I do it without vexation and malice or hostility. I grew up in Northern Michigan where my father -though he had little money- just knew what government was and what government was not. Man created government to serve him -not the other way around.
One more example (though I have hundreds).
My father all of my family and i went to Grand Rapids to visit an uncle in late October. My uncle had a washing machine cut in half as a fire pit. That evening we were there my uncle had built a crackling, sparking fire, but one that was no taller than his waist. Someone called the fire department. Three firemen walked up from the street and told my father and uncle they can't have a fire and had to put it out. My father is very calm by nature, and smiles with self assurance, so he asked the crew leader: "Is this your property? Are you ordering me what to do with my property? Are you a public servant?" The crew leader said something like "Well no, I'm not telling you what to do with your property but you can't have a fire." My father asked him if someone else's property was burning right now or in danger of being burnt?" This was a long time ago, and I can't recall the precise words for certain, but my uncle and father talked to the firemen for awhile and then the firemen left with my father saying to them "Be safe. Take care". The firemen just said "Good night".
