Two Party (Failed) System



Can voters who often perceive elections as choosing a lesser evil be seduced into supporting the system that offers such lame choices?



Southern California talk show host Michael Benner, a 1980's/Los Angeles colleague and friend, insisted that either/or choices were always bogus. And since he spoke in the deep and powerful way that broadcasters called a "voice of god," he dominated any discussion of the subject.

His advice: replace automated stimulus - response with a cycle of stimulus - perception - conscious response... Realizing there are always more options is a first step toward escaping false dichotomy & actions that yield greater benefit.

Michael Benner's "Inner Visions" left KPFK's airwaves in 2007.

The message continues via a "mystery school" site, podcasts, and together with "meditative learning" advocate and seminar leader Steven Snyder, a blog on personal empowerment.
