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:  We the willing people of nine of the thirteen United States commit to and trust in the purpose and goals stated herein --- integrity, justice, collaboration, defense, prosperity, liberty, and perpetuity --- and to cultivate limited services by the USA, beginning on June 21, 1788.

Composing their own paraphrase, citizens may consider the actual preamble and perceive whether they are willing or dissident toward its agreement.

It’s joyful to appreciate The Advocate view: “. . . instead of taking responsibility . . . the Legislature has once again asked Louisiana to approve three amendments.”

However, it is tragic that The Advocate exempts the erroneous governor from responsibility, for example, for not personally pushing the gas tax. Here’s a man who creates an errant mission of personal partnership with the Vatican against all public interest, meanwhile neglecting his responsibility to citizens who flooded in 2016. Now, their chances are further diminished as the state finds excuses to not deliver federal funds . . . at least, that’s the way it seems to me: in dollars, 20 million out of 1700 million delivered so far. How many million for management fees --- 6 million or my guess 40? My only authorization is concern for the flood-victims’ lives.

I like The Advocate’s vote recommendations: Yes; no; no.

Obviously, I strongly disagree with “[lawmakers have] superior leadership from Gov. John Bel Edwards.” What is The Advocate’s vision of free and responsible press?

Today’s thought, G.E. Dean (Matthew 5:16, CJB)

“Instead, store up for yourselves wealth in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and burglars do not break in or steal.”

Dean says “The things of this earth will not last. The things done for the Lord will.”

Matthew and Dean dole out mysterious concerns (wealth in heaven) and concrete remedies for strawmen surrogates.

In this case, a philosophy I prefer is do the work to discover the-objective-truth, comprehend the discovery, and develop fidelity to its best use. The Lord, whatever that is, (thank you Bob Dorroh) can observe my fidelity.

Avoiding gullibility to Matthew and Dean is made possible by humility.

To Darren Miller: A monsignor who became a bishop told me, "Phil, if you want to belong, you must obey the rules." I responded, I will not constrain my relationship with whatever may be in control of what-is. He said, "Then we no longer need to talk." Even though it was terminal, it took me years to understand how informative that experience was.

You, Mr. Miller, are faster to appreciate the-objective-truth than I am. I am glad for you and happy for me. 

Phil Beaver does not “know” the-indisputable-facts. He trusts and is committed to the-objective-truth of which most is undiscovered and some is understood. He is agent for A Civic People of the United States, a Louisiana, education non-profit corporation. See online at promotethepreamble.blogspot.com.
