That's very interesting. Can you provide an example or two of the functioning of your constructivist government?

Easy.

Constructivists believe in making the most of every public resource. Needless to say, roads are a tangled mess in most of those Democrat-controlled cities. Googlebus displaces existing public mass transit because they know the riders. They provide information systems so that the riders can work on the bus. Google wins, and so do the riders.

Similarly, these new online ride-sharing and room renting services perform the same constructivist function. The original idea of government regulating cab services was all about risk management. Now, with information services, riders and drivers have an agent to perform that function. If that agent and the drivers are appropriately insured there is no reason for cab licensing or public mass-transit at all.

OK, that's constructivist example number one.

I have a patent on a free-market environmental management business method. I also have a book about our 25-year native plant habitat restoration project that you can read that both qualifies me as an environmental expert and shows why freedom in resource management is an absolute must in promoting a healthy planet. Because it's 80% pictures, it's only 750 pages!

OK, that's two.

Of course, we constructivists also believe in what makes for strong and healthy children for BUILDING the next generation. It is proven that successful families are key to that, but then there is also the question of education. I have proposals for that too.

So, there's three, and I've got more. :-)

The point is that by taking this constructivist stance, we automatically broaden our appeal without needing to suck up to the constituencies for these ideas such that they to try to take over, for example, by making demands on "social issues." Instead of being against, it is a stance of ideas to advocate. They're constructive ideas you know. That's why we're constructivists.

Oh, the left would HATE those constructive ideas? Well, they're merely backward. All they want is to protect big corporations (government employee unions are corporations). What are they but their own kind of conservatives! Reactionaries!! Luddites!!!

It's easy. Just take progressivism and jam it down their throats.

Now, there is a difference between conservatism and constructivism. So before I tell you what it is, see if you can figure it out.

Your first example, Google, is a model where participation is controlled by a rigorous interview process and at-will employment afterwards, and whose subsystems, such as buses and cafeteria food are subsidized by advertising revenue.

To replace, say, LA transit, with Googlebus will similarly require a phone screen and a five-hour interview just to get the rider badge, and then regular productivity reviews.

I read a portion of your patent documentation. Given its length, it may be more useful to me and others if you could summarize your ‘proposal’ in a couple of paragraphs, updated for the intervening fifteen years since your filing. It strikes me as much like cap and trade without the bad science surrounding the impact of CO2 emissions, with the proviso that I have only read a portion.
