Our
Views: I
wish my hometown, Baton Rouge the best. I hope Mayor Broome emerges a great
leader, but do not trust the church and racism beginnings.
I think "Together Baton Rouge" is about group benefits---solidarity to benefit the organizers---whereas citizens may have individual-independence with civic-morality. I advocate use of the preamble to the constitution for the USA without the false “secular” label that was imposed by churches. The preamble is neutral to religion. Baton Rouge can have Security, but not through the religion-government-partnership. A civic culture can be established in Baton Rouge!
I completed dialogues on race in 2002. In each of the six sessions I pointed out that the literature we were asked to read had no balance---was racially biased. (Well, Phil, what did you expect?) The organizers did not care what it is like to be a civic citizen who is white. Maybe a very rich man whose wealth was inherited from plantations with slavery could feel the guilt the YWCA, First Methodist, and Ms. Crum tried to impose on me. I walked out during the last ten minute party-planning.
One of the inspiring statements of my life came from a black man on my newspaper route when I quit for better work, probably in 1955. He said, "I hate to hear that. You've been the best on the block." Later, when someone would disparage my value, I would recall Mr. Thomas' statement. Dialogues on Race tried to rob my personal civic morality but failed.
I caution citizens who are subjected to a course with biased opinion to know up front what is happening: psychological tyranny. And I caution politicians about misuse of taxpayer money. This fall, Hillary Clinton tried to impose guilt with "Implicit Bias." She lost. See ://nationalreview.com/.../hillary-clintons-implicit-bias... .

Today’s
Thought (Dean).
Does the-objective-truth conform to Dean’s truth?
Abortion
(Guillot).
In 2014, there were 3.9 million live
births and 4.4 million natural abortions. Perhaps there were 700,000 arbitrary
abortions. Rarely a woman conceives: Usually a man is required. A conception
cell-divides over about eight days, and the zygote may implant into the womb.
Maybe the breath of life is imparted by the pregnant woman.
I doubt Guillot should have
authority over a pregnant woman and can’t imagine a rational person wanting to
usurp her responsibility. Perhaps in Roe v Wade the court did not want to usurp
the pregnant woman’s authority, whether that would be pretense to God or not.
Religion should stop badgering women
over the responsibility and authority they have and religion could not possibly
fulfill. Perhaps nudge men to lessen the 700,000 unwanted pregnancies per year. Religion: recognize that the 4.4 million natural abortions per year are necessary according to
biology.
I don’t trust my numbers, hard as I
worked to learn them: do some research. But don’t ask the church.
22
prior arrests. Can you imagine being the
first responder to this guy's criminal actions and threat? Policemen and
firemen and others have civil rights! Their rights are infringed every time the
judges and lawyers entrap first responders by freeing intent-criminals. Reform may start with judges and
lawyers and the people they report to. Is that us?
Roberts’
column. They could be telling readers what to do
about their brand: pseudo-news.
Everybody knows freedom of speech means you can lie all you want as long as you
don’t lie about “Fire!,” or cause similar harm; likewise with freedom of the
press.

A civic culture based on the preamble asserts that
American liberal theory seeks liberty, leaving equality to the adult. Americans
do not submit to Europe’s “contemporary liberalism” or assuring the welfare of
everyone, communitarianism, social democracy, socialism, communism, or any
other imposition of private wants onto the people. America is a republic, as
stated by votes in 3084 of America’s 3114 counties on November 8, 2016.
A civic culture is intolerant
of harm as defined by statutory law.
