Or in many cases MORE delusional. Lets face it Jean — the current political environment of the United States does not attract nor elect candidates who have reflective, thoughtful, nuanced and insightful depth of logic and statesmanship. In 21st century we elect people who are motivated to a process that is somewhat a combination of reality TV Survivor and Idols along with ego driven publicity craving celebrity pulpit lusters for ideological tribes comparable to a fascist Christian Taliban or a sorta promise anything P. T. Barnum version of tribal jihad.

We are not (in large part) a democratic “Republic” where the mass of us elect representatives who elect the meritorious individuals who humbly and with dedicated focus serve the public (an idealistic tip of the hat I believe to Platos Republic by Madison, Jefferson, Adams, Paine, etc.).

I’m good with the ideas you propose but to enact changes of this type and magnitude it seems, to me, questionable to manufacture without a fairly persuasive and broad change in attitude and consciousness by citizens in mass. This underlying deep social psychology change seems to defy an easy explanation about how it would occur or exactly how it would look. Even if my complex guess of foundational common consciousness change as a necessary change was true we would still in the meantime need worthy and idealistic directions articles like the one you have written. We cannot outsource exploitation and irresponsible selfishness by moving it off the planet. Even if we could we don’t have the time. Thank you.
