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.

The Advocate has no shame.

The opioids epidemic has developed during two decades:  painphysicianjournal.com/current/pdf?article=MTcwNA==&journal=68 .

It seems my vote for GOP contender Donald Trump was critical to this nation and its opportunity to benefit from President Donald Trump rather than add to losses under Hillary Clinton: esquire.com/news-politics/a12775932/sackler-family-oxycontin.

And some studies showed that media focus on race hid the damage being done to white patience of crooked doctors: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27272904.

And the fact that 4/5ths of victims were white was known in 2015:  kff.org/other/state-indicator/opioid-overdose-deaths-by-raceethnicity/?currentTimeframe=0&sortModel=%7B"colId":"Location","sort":"asc"%7D.

The Advocate holds the Obama administration’s DEA a victim of Congress, President Obama innocent based on executive ignorance, and Gov. John Bel Edwards a hero, I guess, based solely on The Advocate’s audacity.

I’m not buying The Advocate’s freedom of the press. Not for in a minute. It’s past time for a responsible press in Baton Rouge.

Today’s thought, G.E. Dean (Matthew 14:29-30 CJB)

“Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Dean says “God can do great things. If we will just but keep our eyes on Him. He will even help us when we fall short.”

I think Matthew plagiarized an image written by Plato respecting Agathon’s description of Eros, a Greek mythological God. 

Indeed, Merriam-Webster online defines “the belief that direct knowledge of God, spiritual truth, or ultimate reality can be attained through subjective experience (such as intuition or insight) as “mysticism.” I think Dean dabbles in blasphemy about mysticism.

Authenticity (Frey and Seligman) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_591a683a-ba7d-11e7-ab87-4371ba89e33c.html)

I doubt “our community could forge a new commitment to advance long-term substantive changes to improve the lives of women and children and make our community a better place for everyone.” A civic people may establish a better future, but it must include men.

As a Co-operative Engineering Scholarship student, I had the privilege of working for DuPont Nylon Research in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Employees carried USPUSC cards and were reminded to not unsafe practices and unsafe conditions. The policy instilled a culture of safety.

When I applied for permanent employment, my job-placement expedience yield job offers. I chose Ethyl Corporation, Baton Rouge, LA, because the management was spawned from DuPont and Standard Oil and had the safety and other employee attitudes, and I would be among 600 engineers instead of tens of thousands.

In my 35 year career there, safety first was a guiding principle that determined not whether or not a task would be done or a product would be made, but how events would unfold.

As an example, we discovered that a 3 decades-old operation acquired through acquisition could literally blow up. We did the research to prove the potential for disaster, designed a new reactor system that could not blow up, and installed it. Supply of an important product continued without safety threat.

In another case, an entire production line was shut down by an event. Production was curtailed for the months required to change the chemical route to the product. The market—humankind—needs that product for practical reasons.

In another case, our company declined to research a precursor to a binary war compound. Perhaps that case illustrates morality first derived from safety first.

This is just one of many stories that led to an essay, “Integrity, Not Just Honesty, Is What Teams Need,” The Albemarle Globe, June 1998, published by the Albemarle Corporation.

Safety First represents a guiding principle for process more than product. Safety First may keep economic expediency from inviting woe. The principle seem applicable to human life as well as to corporations: Maintain life using a safe process.

The question of human equality perhaps begins before the 8 to 20 week-old female fetus’s gonad. If the fetus is healthy, some 400,000 primary ova may be typical or equal. If the fetus is gestated, delivered, and typically nourished, a typical adolescent girl may be the consequence.

If the girl is coached into female authenticity, she will have collaborative association with her viable ova—-some 400–450 ova during her fertile years, perhaps from age 10 to age 45. Despite fidelity to her person’s body and mind, I doubt each viable ova is equal.

On of the female’s obligations in her fidelity to her viable ova is to not let the ova be threatened by a man who demands sexual intimacy with not intent to care for the female-ova association—-a man who is willing to conceive and at best walk away without abusing the female.

So far, this world has not take responsibility to constrain the abuse of viable ova.

I write daily to encourage most people to collaborate for civic justice rather than compete for dominant opinion. The question of human equality begins long before the female fetus in its 8th week of viability.

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.
