Phil Beaver works to establish opinion when the-indisputable-facts-of-reality have not been discovered. He seeks to refine his opinion by learning other people’s experiences and observations. The comment box below invites sharing facts, opinion, or concern. (I read, write, and listen to establish my opinion as I pursue the-objective-truth.)
Note: I often connect words in a phrase with the dash in order to represent an idea. For example, frank-objectivity represents the idea of candidly expressing the-objective-truth without addressing possible error or attempting to balance the expression.
Our Views: The Advocate
mentioned a few of Louisiana’s needs and neglected others, such as loss of
coastline and relief from the national bottleneck at the Mississippi River. In
light of the huge needs for partnership with President Trump, it is unfortunate
that Gov. John Bel Edwards was nourishing a unrepresentative partnership with
the Vatican rather than attending the inauguration.
The timing makes me wonder if one of
the topics is refugees from Central America through Mexico unto Louisiana's
Catholic Charities. I guess the Vatican-Edwards-partnership is none of my
business IEO.
"It's the right thing to do," and "I'll put Louisiana first," are Edwards' slogans of the past.
Thank goodness, Trump is a very nice and forgiving person, as he showed today. Maybe he'll overlook Edwards and be nice to the people of Louisiana.

Our
Views (Jan. 19): Responding
to Matthew White
Perhaps you are an AMO soldier and don't know it. See Alinsky Error # 5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.“
Also, perhaps alinsky-marxist-organizer (AMO) rather than Alinsky-Marxist organizer (AMO) would be more expressive. However, an organizer with any cause and any name can combine the moral errors of Saul Alinsky with the civic errors of Karl Marx, so it seems misleading to capitalize "organizer."

Today’s
Thought (Dean). Dean says this is God’s world. It takes
audacity to express such a narrow view toward whatever may control the
universe. IMO, extraterrestrial colonization offers relief from this world.
However, I’m betting on the ultimate justice of the people, quoting Abraham Lincoln in 1861 and Donald Trump, today, June 20, 2017.

Pipeline
(Wilson). Is your list beyond what LaDEQ is doing?
I cannot tell.
School
bureaucracy (Espinoza). The entrepreneurs who created the
charter school system did everything they could to establish less oversight
than public schools have.
As with all endeavor, application does not mean acceptance. When an applicant bids to override a denial, it seems reasonable to think the applicant wants even more leniency.
It is an interesting story. I just wish Espinoza had shared more facts.

Froma Harrop column. “[Trump] saying
dumb things is no longer news.” Harrop subjects herself to Alinsky Error # 5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.“ Readers are aware of the ruin Alinsky error brings to recruits.
Dana
Milbank column. Some writers
seem to be competing for first to exit the business due to irrelevance.
George
Will column. It
seems Will came to a Berra fork, overlooked it, and created a negative path.
Media mendacity (Page 4A). Trump responded to icon Lewis with
the rebuke that Lewis had done too little for Georgia, but CNB obfuscated The
Facts. The sooner the media reforms the better. Regardless of the media, The
Advocate may reform if it makes good business for them.
Richmond was there to hear that the
Congressional Black Congress is a relic of the past. The way forward from
January 20, 2017 is solidarity by blood color rather than skin color;
togetherness for the people rather than the federal government. (I have to reform to a liking for both "together" and "solidarity," because I want the people in the USA to succeed.) As of today, no
one needs to respond to icon James Meredith’s claim that since 1966 the black
race has neglected responsibility and duty in citizenship: Going forward, the
black race may attend to that part of citizenship.
Being at the inauguration and
feeling the stunned Washington audience, I’ll bet Richmond questions past
values and is considering reform for January 21, 2017. I hope he returns to
Louisiana ready to celebrate a better future. We’ll see.
Explict
bias (Page 3A). This is an essay
commending--urging--the state to favor The Facts rather than religion, racism, and
politics. A more perfect Louisiana is possible if citizens (including lawyers
and elected officials) collaborate for civic justice.
Quoting the article, “The panel, which was created by a 2016 state law, plans to determine "whether new or improved training is needed around classroom management, cultural competency, implicit bias and conflict resolution to help educators address student behavior."
There is nothing about parenting and community influence on children’s’ behaviors in the above list of concerns. Children are born feral and must be coached unto civic behavior for schooling.
The people cannot continue to allow lawyers to use double-speak to cast aside the indisputable-facts-of-reality, hereafter The Facts. Our very survival depends on willing use of The Facts rather than religion, race, and politics to iteratively-collaborate for a better future.
Quoting, plato.stanford.edu/entries/implicit-bias/, “Implicit bias” is a term of art referring to relatively unconscious and relatively automatic features of prejudiced judgment and social behavior. Psychological research on implicit bias is relatively recent, but a host of metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical questions about implicit bias are pressing.” I have to learn what “term of art” means. If somebody knows, please write back.
“Implicit bias” came on the scene in 1950, accelerated in 1967, peaked in 1975, dipped in 1989, and seems to be on the rise since 2000. See books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=implicit%20bias%20... . I think Hillary Clinton’s use of the term helped her defeat in her epic bid for the presidency: Woe begs woe.
The Civil Rights Act and voting act passed in 1964-5. James Meredith marched in 1966. W. F. Buckley, Jr. interviewed Saul Alinsky in 1967 and Alinsky’s book Rules for Radicals came in 1971. The Democratic Select Committee met in 1969 and renamed Congressional Black Caucus in 1971. Also, in 1969, James H. Cone published Black Theology & Black Power.
In 2016, James Meredith implicitly wondered: In these five decades, why hasn’t the black race accepted the responsibility and duty part of citizenship? I commend the Great State of Louisiana to address Meredith’s question and publish the determination along with any recommendations by panels like this one.
Also, I commend our beloved city to consider whether or not the imposition of Dialogues on Race is explicit, reverse racism or is consistent with the noble civic goals stated in the preamble to the constitution for the USA. That civic agreement explicitly proposes a more perfect Baton Rouge.

Throughout this thread, I have been writing
"save & invest" so as to build personal financial security. In
today's market, interest rates are so low that savings need to be converted to
assets as soon as possible. For example, a worker may deposit monthly into an
IRA or Roth IRA.
What is missing in American capitalism is the combination of nudging birth rates plus immigration so as to manage population growth within GDP such that wages for the most menial needed service are sufficient to both live and save & invest. The problem is exponential. The poor cannot save enough to accumulate wealth so as to cover retirement. The lower-middle-class would feel sacrificial to save enough for retirement.
Socialism cures neither poverty nor the middle-class urge to spend. Liberal democracy exacerbates spending.
GDP must pay for education, labor, entertainment, and innovation such that the metaphysical child-to-be-born does not face significant probability to be poor for life.
Until there is widespread shift from social morality to civic morality, there is not much that can be done for that metaphysical child. By "social morality," I mean religious, racial, and political morality. By "civic morality," I mean willing iterative-collaboration for broadly-defined-civic-safety-and-security in this place, hereafter Security.
I think 2/3 of Americans live this way now but social morality prevents mutual appreciation for Security. With a civic culture, the 1/3 dissidents may slowly reform for a better future.
I work to draw attention to and help establish civic morality. In other words, public integrity. In a civic culture, children may not be born into a cycle of poverty, so the USA may reform. It won't take as long as it may seem, once the decision is made.
