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.
“Trick-or-treating is a way to affirm the bonds between
neighbors.” Huh? Bonds from a carrot and stick exchange?
“[The] lighter
thrills and chills of Halloween will be a relief [from disasters]."
Really? For adults?
Is The Advocate aiding a trend toward Halloween a commercial
activity for adult satisfaction rather than a factional religious tradition?
I think the civic morality we suffer informs us that
children should not be subjected to adult phantasms. Materialism has erased the
transition from adolescence to adulthood for many chronologically adult
citizens. Instead of the past instruction, a civic people may reform to
children acquiring fidelity to the-objective-truth and adults practicing comprehensive
fidelity.
Of the chronological adolescents
who are discovering the-objective-truth, some are doing so despite the adult
community that would mislead them. Information on the Internet empowers them,
but civic adults could lend a hand by coaching them to fidelity toward
the-objective-truth.
(So called "spiritualism" is a private,
adult pursuit for those who are interested.)
Such public consequences seem a good
side of philanthropy. Among a civic people there are some who both think a
landmark should be preserved, so they help make it happen.
In our work at
EBRP libraries, the objective is to motivate civic citizens to collaborate for
civic morality using the preamble to the constitution for the USA. Although our
group is a registered non-profit education corporation, we seek no sponsorship,
because we think justice comes only from willing people.
For our 5th
annual Personal Independence Day, June 21, 2018, we plan an annual contest to
select the best personal preamble paraphrase. Author offer their entry to civic
citizens for collaboration. If you are interested, get started right away. The
preamble states so many goals it may take some time to write a paraphrase that
meets your personal preferences. We wish to maintain a version that is a
product of modern collaboration.
Of course, we
do not want the original to ever change:
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form
a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide
for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings
of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of
America.”
Today’s thought,
G.E. Dean (Matthew 15:11 CJB)
“What makes a person unclean is not what goes into his
mouth; rather, what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him
unclean!"
Dean says “This truth needs to capture our attention. Words
can hurt and they can heal. What words have you been speaking?”
Matthew and Dean use a mysterious claim to coerce people to
listen to their phantasms. However, people may choose to take advantage of
the-objective-truth, ignoring Matthew and Dean, partners in mysticism (see
Merriam-Webster online, 2nd definition).

TOPS critical to 12th grader (Carter)
(theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_1a00a4da-bd97-11e7-ad0e-172df062019e.html)
“. . . my
academic advisers started stressing the importance of TOPS the minute my
wide-eyed, nervous 12th-grade class walked in the door.”
Three years later, Carter still does not realize that 12th grade is too, little too late.
But K-12 education can coach children to acquire and comprehend knowledge, understand authenticity, and to intend a lifetime of fidelity to the-objective-truth.
Google “Child incentives brief” and select the URL that starts “cipbr” to read about such a program. Some of the $1 billion that is needed could come from TOPS and some from reduced Louisiana support for gambling. Be sure to read about the qualitative benefits. We need an economist to help quantify financial benefits.
The child incentives program is vital for an achievable, better future, because 2017 children are exposed to many nanny-state adults who honestly express low integrity. Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964–65 started the nanny-state, and it is an abject failure.
To Kyle Juneau: TOPS is another illustration of
the harm philanthropists do to civic morality.
It seems Mr. Taylor wanted to express his appreciation for college by making it possible for good students who were poor. However, when politicians got involved, TOPS became a way to subsidize Louisiana colleges, shell-gamed as student subsidy.
Similarly, philanthropists
who support the Vatican expand world influence by subsidizing people to Mexico’s
south border, through Mexico, to the North border. Once here, illegal aliens become
wards of the USA with special aid from Catholic and other church charities. See
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctuary_movement for the old news and pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/2017/02/03/sanctuary-movement/34422/,
sanctuarynotdeportation.org for the new.
To Kyle Juneau: I appreciate
your critique of Adam-Smith ideas. His earlier book, “The Theory of
Moral Sentiments” asserts that a person must have social propriety. Smith-standards
mimic Aristotle and would limit a person’s freedom to pursue personal integrity---would
constrain his or her morality by the standards of a culture, civilization, or
society. For example, a person who conforms to the-objective-truth can appear
evil in his or her culture. Consider for example the culture that thinks crime
pays.
The free and responsible human being
may be too psychologically powerful to accept any constraint on his or her
goodness.
Crimestoppers (Batt)
(theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_d809bb8a-bd8b-11e7-8431-7f98c1dc4251.html)
I
appreciate this good news. It seems to me a letter with ideas on how citizens
can turn on to crime stopping would help.
For
example, carry cell phones with cameras rather than guns (unless you have the
psychology to take full responsibility for gun carrying). Practice videoing
scenes so as to prepare for the moment when you should pull out the cell phone.
To Thomas
Winn: I appreciate your expressions. Please consider another view.
I felt vulnerable as I knocked on a door to discuss a bad
check in a neighbor’s garage-sale transaction. I had spent a lot of time and
energy writing to learn the facts and to discover where the offender lived. I
had no business calling the police without more information.
However,
when a crimestopper’s notice appeared, I called and would have been glad to
receive a reward as partial remuneration for my time.

Humanities (Stephen Kidd)

When I think humanities, it’s: Everyone should read and contend with Chekhov’s
“Rothschild’s Fiddle.” See eldritchpress.org/ac/roth.html and go ahead and read
it.
After that, I need to think before
I recommend the next eleven readings.
I think primetimefamily.org/methodology/
was informative. I see professional support at ala.org/tools/programming/primetime/primetimefamily.
NAFTA negotiations? (George
Will) (washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-radiating-mischief-of-protectionism/2017/10/27/a07243ec-ba7d-11e7-be94-fabb0f1e9ffb_story.html?utm_term=.efcee5252b27)
I appreciate Will’s attention to this squabble between Boeing
and Canadian Bombardier. I’ll be watching to see how it turns out.
Trump now mainstream (Rich Lowry)
nationalreview.com/article/453171/donald-trump-republicans-gop-mainstream-has-shifted
Can Lowry’s youth be blamed for the
omission of John McCain from this column? Does completeness even matter for
media writers?
I wrote to my senators to request them
to impeach McCain if that is possible.
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
