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.
I asked myself before: Why do you, Phil, so frequently
oppose The Advocate’s views? This morning’s writing gives me a clue. The
Advocate’s writers don’t perceive the human condition as naturally non-divisive. In other words, divisiveness is
learned.
The Advocate does not import to me the universally obvious reality
--- the-objective-truth: All people share the path toward civic morality and
the present space-time on that path.
The Advocate fruitlessly portrays a struggle between
President Donald Trump and the world; Gov. John Bel Edwards above the people of
Louisiana; liberal democracy above the rule of law; the judicial system above
we the people of the United States; religion vs the law; taxpayers vs the
people; the people vs posterity. The fabricated competiveness goes on and on. Arbitrarily
dividing the people hurts the children.
Bob Newhart had a wise cure for psychotic problems: see youtube.com/watch?v=Ow0lr63y4Mw (thank you, Dona Bean, d. 9/20/17).
The Advocate could invent a free and responsible press, at
least in Baton Rouge.
Today’s thought,
G.E. Dean (Psalms 9:9-10, CJB)
“Adonai is a stronghold for the oppressed, a tower of
strength in times of trouble. Those who know your name put their trust in you, for
you have not abandoned those who seek you, Adonai.”
Dean says “God will take care of you if you will let him.”
David instructs the Lord. Dean asserts that God will fulfill
David’s instructions. I doubt David and Dean. Interestingly, Dean omitted David’s
instruction in v 8: “He will judge the world in righteousness; he will judge
the peoples fairly.”
Letters
Gun control (Grice) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_aab871d6-a944-11e7-bd8d-b360da1f7d31.html)
I nominate this
letter for “Nanny State Freak” for 2017.
No way would I
be a part of deciding that another peaceful human should be disallowed from
self-defense in a world with an ample population of vigilantes in the possession
of arsenals. Nor would I restrict a peaceful person from the privilege of hunting.
The dialogue may
change from gun control to restriction of vigilante empowerment. Lessening
blind hatred for the GOP could help, too.
People who wish to replace American republicanism, or the rule of law, with liberal democracy beg woe, as we observe daily.

Louisiana’s superior constitution (James Gill)
(theadvocate.com/new_orleans/opinion/james_gill/article_c953f4b4-a857-11e7-bb88-ffb09968d7f0.html)
I like Gill’s
lobbying.
My group is 23
% of the population, and we always report to jury duty. If one of ours is
accused, we will protect him or her against all odds.
Louisiana’s
rules work against us, so we’d like to undo them. The Louisiana constitution
bothers us about freedom of expression, too. It says we can be held responsible
when we lie.
(I write in
irony, for those who are not accustomed to such expressions.)
To Jerry: the
only jury duty I completed involved a work accident. It was obvious that the
plaintiff did not obey work rules and injured himself. One jury member made no
sense, but just kept saying, "Exxon can pay. Give him the money."
Thank goodness no one listened.
To Jerry again: Your
comment "so straightforward" helped me realize for the first time
that judges fail the public when they allow a case like that one to go to jury
trial.
If just one jury person had been
influenced by the chorus "give him the money," injustice made
possible by a judge would have been the outcome.
Satan?
(Cal Thomas) richmond.com/opinion/their-opinion/guest-columnists/cal-thomas-column-defining-evil/article_0c09190f-c419-51d3-923a-2631c7f993d2.html
In “Perhaps Paddock embraced evil just this once, or maybe
it was waiting to ambush him,” Thomas tacitly blames Satan. In
calthomas.com/transcripts/evil-and-las-vegas-shootings, Thomas explicitly
blames Satan.
Thomas has helped me understand a civic immorality about
Christianity as we know it: Christianity empowers people to willingly not take
responsibility for public evil.
The year was about 1978, and I had taken my family --- MWW
and three children --- to Houston. I was at work, and they were touring in our
car. In a flash flood, my coworker and I abandoned his car and walked to the
motel. I panicked until I saw our family car, high and dry in the parking lot.
When I entered the room, MWW was bathing to recover from her rain experience
and three adolescents were watching a nude Angie Dickinson on TV. I turned the
TV off and gave them a talk about nourishing evil by watching it. The lesson
took.
It seems Cal Thomas never got that lecture and therefore
never overcame the Satan myth. That does not mean the rest of us need to brook
the imposition of Satan: Willing people can constrain overt evil and incarcerate
perpetrators.
Lost motivation to write (Dana
Milbank) (washingtonpost.com/opinions/greatness-is-within-trumps-reach/2017/09/29/25e22348-a53a-11e7-ade1-76d061d56efa_story.html?utm_term=.877c0fc9d88d)
Mr. Milbank,
when did you lose the motivation to be a writer?

Whoever authorized the change from a rainbow emblem to that
awful fist emblem is erroneous IMO.
The clinched fist is a solidarity emblem that represents
what I refer to as Alinsky-Marxist organization (AMO). AMO bosses have, for the
past five decades, turned the justice of the church-based civil rights movement
of the 1950s to mid 1960s into a fabricated "victims vs oppressors
revolution," that due to injustice begs woe. In the last few decades, AMO
has worked to establish a collectivist
democracy by combining minority groups who for their reasons feel victimized.
Interestingly, AMO
excludes my group: people willing to establish comprehensive safety and
security so that each living person may, during every decade of his or her
candle of life, responsibly pursue the heartfelt happiness he or she perceives
rather than the work someone else would impose on them.
AMO has its
purpose: Conflict for chaos rather than civic morality, wherein willing people
collaborate to live each decade of their lives at the leading edge of
goodness.
AMO seeks to destroy the American republic; in other words, the rule
of law. AMO recruits people to join the cause and cares not about the recruit's
comprehensive safety and security.
The multicolored,
awful-looking, clinched fist seems a warning sign for people who treasure
responsible, personal liberty.
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
