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.
This statement would seem bizarre if The Advocate did not so dedicate itself to the bad policies of Gov. John Bel Edwards: “In Louisiana, we have about four months remaining of federal money needed to pay for health insurance coverage for low-income children and pregnant women.”
What did you expect? Rich northern states to relieve Edwards’ folly?
Then there’s the punch line: “Act. Soon.”

Under the
weather forecasting that existed when I moved to BR five decades ago, yesterday
I would have moved everything that is outdoors into the garage to prepare for
Nate.
With today's
forecasting, I did not even take the glass tops off the patio furniture outside
the kitchen. I've done that three times this spring and summer for heavy
rainstorms. I’m satisfied with the weatherman’s work and know he will continue
to improve at a viable pace.
My satisfaction
with my experience and reluctance to seek perfection raises great alarm for
you. You raise a mountain of complaints and challenge me to address them. I
could not care less about your concerns nor would spend a whit to resolve them.
I am a fellow citizen and nothing more.
As for your
trashy characterizations of me, I consider them a reflection of you yet hope
for a better fellow-citizen. However, I know I don’t always get what I want.
(Reminds me of a Trump campaign song.)

Human heart? (Dan Fagan)

An unfortunate feature
of the human condition is that the body is capable of procreation before the person
has wisdom for parenting --- perhaps at ages fifteen and forty, respectively. (The male body does not even complete construction of the
wisdom-building parts of the brain until age 25 --- 23 female --- so mid 30s
might be good for parenting.)
Parenting in my mid
thirties, I coached my children to be cautious about expressions. I said, “People
cannot stand and do not want to know the-objective-truth.” Yet I encouraged
them to read Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thomas Paine, Plato, Euripides, Faulkner, and
many other thoughtful writers. We read Greek plays as a family. The last four
decades have changed my mind.
Now, in my
eighth decade, I think willing people are beautiful and the only possibility
for justice. Both politics and religions should be discussed openly and
candidly so as to help willing people establish civic morality; in other words,
establish mutual, comprehensive safety and security. Unwilling people may be
dissidents to civic morality.
However, I do
not think these are matters of the heart; they are matters of fidelity to
the-objective-truth. Willing persons may behave so at to either go unnoticed or
attract appreciation.
I appreciate Fagan’s views and the thoughts they motivated.

OK: Sadow seems bone-headed (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/jeff_sadow/article_10e42f98-a947-11e7-8e70-93c183bae5aa.html)
With his
suggestion of mandated flood insurance for homes that do not flood I join the
chorus of readers who consider Sadow bone-headed. I hope for reform.
Good grief!
Insurance is a product. No one should force me to buy a product I do not need
or want.
Appreciable writing using a sleazy
subject (George Will) (washingtonpost.com/opinions/bikini-clad-baristas-serve-up-a-lesson-in-free-speech/2017/10/04/431f1cd8-a85d-11e7-92d1-58c702d2d975_story.html?utm_term=.525731765532)
“Everett should have some latitude to balance other
public goods against the expressive pleasure and even commercial advantages
that Liberty Ziska and her colleagues derive from sartorial minimalism. Universities
should protect almost absolute freedom for arguments about politics,
classically and properly defined broadly as the subject of how we should live.”
No one should be allowed to
yell “fire” in a crowded room.

I think LGBTQ people have equal rights. In other words, the
idea that they do not have equal rights is an intellectual construct.
My view is easy to explain but hard for some people to
accept. My view derives from the principle of fidelity, both respectively and
collectively, to the-objective-truth; to self; to family; to extended family
and friends; to the people; to the nation; to the world; and to the universe.
Call it comprehensive fidelity.
First, the basis of human life is the ovum that may be
fertilized by a spermatozoon. According to physics —- the object of the study
rather than the study —- the ovum cannot become a human being without collaborative
care. The path to an ovum’s success has many steps, and each step is contingent
on sequential fidelities to the-objective-truth.
The woman who’s body supplied the ovum takes care of her
body in fidelity to both herself and her viable ova. Furthermore, she is
careful not to expose currently viable ova to fertilization without integrity.
In other words, she does not invite conception with a man who is not bonded
with her for life and with any child they together may conceive.
Likewise, an authentic man does not threaten a viable ovum
with conception when he has no intention to bond with the child for life.
Human fidelity is not easy. Often, professional counseling
is needed. However, fidelity is the great human triumph.
The human being is free to not apply fidelity as I have
specified it. For example, a person may choose to bond with someone of the same
gender. That bond precludes fidelity in procreation. Thus, the partners do not
procreate. But some partners contract with persons outside the partnership for
technological procreation. Such contracts forego fidelity to the ovum that is
involved.
Thus, the ovum that becomes a child through technological
procreation does not enjoy fidelity by both the woman who supplied the ovum and
the man who supplied the spermatozoon. Since the bonded partners who created
the contract have treated the ovum and spermatozoon in arbitrary ways, they may
take full responsibility for the contract and the consequences.
In my view, every child is owed for life the fidelity of the
woman who supplied the ovum with the fidelity of the man who supplied the
spermatozoon; that is, as well as the couple’s bond with each other. The
obligation extends to the child’s children for life.
People who do not honor these obligations have broken
comprehensive human fidelity.
Human bonding occurs when two people decide to care for each
other for life. It is possible to heterosexually bond, in which case
procreation may be viable. If homosexual bonding is chosen, technical procreation
denies fidelity to the child.
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
