What a great story...I love how you tell them and how applicable they are to current events. Now may we figure out how to reclaim democracy again.

When "democracy" can no longer in principle degenerate into a food fight, something is terribly wrong. The rebirth-struggle of death defying renewal is a composting process: rot serves to fertilize the inspired life-force powerfully motivated to get some distance on the persistent flies and bad smells. The urge to live is often too focused on running toward, and not enough on the often more credible running from.

HCR Reader Matthew Goulet offered us the concept of "deep gardening" to keep our democratic process.
