Phil Beaver works to establish opinion when the-objective-truth has not been discovered. He seeks to refine his opinion by listening when people share experiences and observations. The comment box below invites readers to write.

Note 1:  I often dash words in phrases in order to express and preserve an idea. For example, frank-objectivity represents the idea of candidly expressing the-objective-truth despite possible error. In other words, a person expresses his “belief,” knowing he or she could be in error. People may collaboratively approach the-objective-truth.
 
 Note 2: It is important to note "civic" refers to citizens who collaborate for the people more than for the city.
 
A personal paraphrase of the preamble by & for Phil Beaver:  Willing people in our state routinely, voluntarily collaborate for comprehensive safety and security: continuity (for self, children, grandchildren & beyond), integrity (both fidelity and wholeness),  justice (freedom-from oppression), defense (prevent or constrain harm), prosperity (acquire the liberty-to pursue choices), privacy (responsibly discover & pursue personal goals), lawfulness (obey the law and reform injustices); and to preserve and cultivate the rule of law for the USA’s service to the people in their states.
 
Composing their own paraphrase, citizens may consider the actual preamble and perceive whether they are willing or dissident toward the preamble.

“The good news for the taxpayer is that as much as $262 million can be saved over a decade, with 70 percent mandated by law to be put into rehabilitation of offenders and more effective probation and parole.”

In the first place, willing citizens iteratively collaborate for comprehensive safety and security among the people rather than only the taxpayer.

It seems the victim support services promised from the $262 million did not last long in The Advocate’s eye. Are they actually front runners for Gov Edwards’ slights toward the people? It seems willing citizens must beware The Advocate.

Here’s an alternate source of information: “The majority of the $262 million savings from the criminal justice reform legislation will be shared between victim support services and rehabilitation programs for ex-offenders through at least 2027.” thinkprogress.org/louisiana-passes-criminal-justice-reform-666a9c7a2eee

It seems The Advocate’s business plan precludes press participation as a willing citizen.

To Elaine O. Coyle:

Since religious beliefs are ruinous for the adult population, it makes no sense to inculcate beliefs in children.

Adults who want religion and do the work to keep it from hurting life---believers’ lives as well as the lives of others---should be accommodated, just as sports fans, fine-arts enthusiasts, and rap fans are accommodated. However, religion, like sex, is and adult pursuit. It should neither be incorporated into the discovery of civic morality nor imposed on children.

As a de-churched and non-churched person, I would like to see an end to the misery caused by church squabbling, church competition, church dominance, and church destruction. Let church be a private practice.

   

Today’s thought, G.E. Dean July 22 (Psalms 139:14, CJB).

“I thank you because I am awesomely made, wonderfully; your works are wonders —I know this very well.”

Dean says “You are no accident. God made you. He cares about you.”

Let’s get this straight. David and Dean claim you’re no accident but the Church claims you were born in error and need salvation. I don’t trust David and Dean; but I trust the Church even less.

David and Dean negotiate this surrogate for personal responsibility for their responsibilities.

Letters.

Senator Kennedy (Mustian). (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_eb07fbf2-6c00-11e7-af49-e7fa7c102d55.html)

Obamacare seems an intellectual construct to redirect the federal budget from necessities to high-volume profits for the medical-care industry. By fostering adult appetites and physicians’ gains, the USA can emerge bankrupt and the Obama administration, built on Alinsky-Marxist organization (AMO) will be well pleased. The AMO purpose: conflict for chaos will have triumphed. Google DL Adams + Alinsky to read a scholarly article from 2010 that gave me these notions, after Jeremiah Wright tweaked my interest in 2015.

Flooding, especially like we experienced in 2016, is a natural disaster, and a civic culture protects people as best they can.

Senator Kennedy, keep on acting for willing Louisiana citizens and the willing citizens of the USA.

  

Columns. (The fiction/non-fiction comments gallery for readers)

  

Moderately good living (Froma Harrop). creators.com/read/froma-harrop

I want to join the moderately good living crowd which “combines a moderate exercise regimen with a way of life that incorporates exercise in everyday activities. The members garden. They walk, and they vacuum. They peel carrots as they cook generally healthy meals.”

Once Harrop got off the Trump bashing I have appreciated her columns.

Children (Charles Krauthammer). washingtonpost.com/opinions/what-to-do-for-little-charlie-gard/2017/07/20/6e7916d2-6d65-11e7-96ab-5f38140b38cc_story.html?utm_term=.e366f41205c9

It seems to me Krauthammer gives evidence that a passionate doctor cannot reach a rational recommendation based on the-objective-truth.
 

IMO, the-objective-truth informs us that a baby is a person and therefore has inalienable equality and dignity before the law. The-objective-truth holds both when the child has no hope for life and when a couple have abandoned integrity to their marriage and family. A civic people provide a court system that defends the child’s person when the persons who conceived the child deviate from fidelity to the-objective-truth, themselves, and their family.

A court system that utilizes the-objective-truth rather than passionate opinion may represent the child’s person whereas often “a father and a mother and their desperate love for a child” cannot.

This “news article” seems to me pure advertising (complete with a mendacity poll) for Gov. John Bel Edwards, with very clear support for his campaign promises.

I do not question Elizabeth Crisp’s honesty but am disturbed with what is being taught in Mass Communications: Public policy is determined by public opinion and the press controls public opinion. This may be the reason so many mendacity articles cite LSU opinion polls, as this article does. Thank goodness, Elizabeth Crisp, with a touch of reality to counter the advertising, quoted Dawn Starns: "What we have to go back to is we have a broken education system here in Louisiana." Also, Louisiana encourages unwed motherhood, which harms children.

Assessment with integrity would explore some facts. For example, what are the trends in entrepreneurship in America? See bls.gov/bdm/entrepreneurship/entrepreneurship.htm. There’s an uptick since 2010.

And how many Americans are, like Kenya Harris from The Advocate’s advertisement, starting new businesses? Maybe 27 million: www.inc.com/leigh-buchanan/us-entrepreneurship-reaches-record-highs.html. If she becomes successful and needs employees, does she really want Gov. Edwards to make it harder for her? And what about the people she would employ?

The USA is trending toward a 50% freelance workforce: entrepreneur.com/article/275362. Participants need education. Foreign-born workers number 27 million: bls.gov/news.release/pdf/forbrn.pdf.

During the Obama administration, labor participation declined from 66% to 63%: data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000. The labor force is 153.3 million people: usdebtclock.org. So 4.6 million people dropped out, perhaps preferring the Obama gravy train.

Wage rate increases hurt restaurants and jobs in San Francisco: forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2017/04/19/news-just-in-the-san-francisco-minimum-wage-kills-restaurants-and-thus-restaurant-jobs/#4fec83153a16 .

IMO, what’s good in Gov. Edwards’ eyes often hurts Louisiana people. I grasp neither The Advocate’s business plan nor LSU’s marketing of polls. They both seem off-track to me.

To Gee King: Writer Crisp mentioned education last rather than first. She quoted Dawn Starns: "What we have to go back to is we have a broken education system here in Louisiana."

 

Every first grader should be coached to take charge of his or her acquisition of education and to think that the human being is so psychologically powerful that, if well informed, he or she can responsibly do anything he or she wants to.
