  %POLITICAL PRINCIPLES POWER COALITION COOPERATION 960427

     Regarding Political Power:

     Seek excessive power and you dissipate power.

     Steal, confuse, abuse or hide it and you lose it.

     If it is unbalanced, it is corrupt or corrupting.

     Expose abusers by letting them talk, pontificate.

     Give, clarify, show and share it; and you gain it.

     It develops in small groups, dissipates in large.

     Nurture it by clarifying ideals, values & goals.

     Magnify it in small honest coalitions.

     Weak minorities talk, strong majorities work.

     Do much homework before group meetings.

     Good meetings celebrate much homework well done.

     Poor homework leads to meeting frustration.

     Good homework is better than good complaining.

     Lists of good causes are just a beginning.

     Relate good causes to good ideals and values.

     Agree on a few basic ideals, values and goals.

     Cooperate with those who agree with you; focus.

     Focus upon agreements, not upon disagreements.

     Kind charitable tenacity prevails in the end.

     Resolved conflicts end;  others do not end.
