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
continually---almost continuously--disappoints.
This morning,
someone baits prostitution for Isaacson, who hardly needs a sales department,
then switches to advertising for liberal-democrat teachers and professors in
general. I exclude liberal arts teachers in
K-12 from my complaint.
“. . . schools and
universities are cutting liberal arts education at society’s peril. Americans
shouldn’t have to decide between technology and the arts.”
Here’s my assessment of most
liberal arts professors. They are so disconnected from the-objective-truth they
don’t seem to realize how far technology has improved the human condition yet
how regressive civic morality has been. STEM professors cannot escape the-objective-truth,
because discovering evidence that can be demonstrated by other people is their
method of study. However, liberal arts imagines a route to utopia and creates a
body of theory and says “Let’s go there.”
How many billions of dollars
in US education funding been spent on variations of John
Rawls' veil of ignorance? How many ways can free-market
enterprise be denigrated by communism, socialism, collectivism, communitarianism
and their progenies?
Albert Einstein taught liberal arts. In a 1941 speech, his
only example of the-objective-truth’s impact on ethics is: civic citizens don’t
lie to each other so they can communicate. Einstein did not create such ideas
by taking liberal arts classes. He contemplated, during his later years, the
source of human psychology and concluded that it is the same as the source of
energy, mass and space-time. Further, in the discovery of ethics, there is no
place for human goals, emotions, and beliefs: There’s only discovery.
Liberal arts, especially liberal democracy insists that
the-objective-truth responds to human reason, rights, and dignity. Like
Einstein, who was indeed a genius, the attempt to construct human theory should
happen only after a person has established the basic understanding and intent
to live a full life.
To SandraandMichael
Evans:
Thank
you for happily, I hope, helping me make a point and, additionally, supporting exclusion
of K-12 teachers in my complaints against many liberal college professors.
The Advocate
lamented "cutting liberal arts education." I wrote my understanding
of Einstein's 1941 speech, "Further, in the discovery of ethics, there is
no place for human goals, emotions, and beliefs: There’s only discovery."
Some fine arts,
like music, employ physics to express imagination. Others spring from
intellectual constructs, such as creation of the universe depicted in the
Vatican.
Imagination is
essential to both fine arts and in discovery of the-objective-truth. Study
often begins with imagination that a phenomenon has been observed and advances
to acquisition of the evidence to prove what was imagined. However, when
the-objective-truth informs the student that imagination focused on a mirage,
it must be put on the shelf of fine arts, at least until a discovery justifies
return to the pursuit of evidence other students may reproduce.
Atheism, for example, is a fine art---so far there's no evidence for it. Humankind may need to employ
senses not yet discovered to take that question off the imaginary shelf labeled, "We
don't know."
Today’s thought,
G.E. Dean (Matthew 17:5 CJB)
“While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them;
and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love, with whom I
am well pleased. Listen to him!"
Dean says, “We too should take time to hear the Lord Jesus.
Take time to read the Gospels.”
I do not condone literature that advocates hate for loved
ones in order to adopt ideas, and I don’t accept rationalisms that attempt to
convert the choice of “hate” to express concern or other noble motive.
Letters
Racism? (Banks) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_171fd5d6-c98d-11e7-a352-e726637d750c.html)
Does “the rubric . . . ensure
every candidate is evaluated based on a single standard,” prevent the
application of Mayor Broome’s platform---church and dialogues on racism?
Is “confirmation
bias” a politically correct rubric for racial bias?
I don’t understand
Banks’ purpose.

To Ending Wasteful Spending In Government: These tax credits end up as profits for the business. The people (including
tax payers) pay it, and it is better to let the people keep the money they
earn.
Democrat talking points (Villarrubia)
(theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_3876714c-ca3f-11e7-a384-abc1a02b6f73.html)
I agree. I especially like Villarrubia’s focus on the people instead of the
usual “taxpayers.” Taxation by liberal democrats hurts everyone but the parties
the Democratic party favors---mostly the Democrat insiders, like the infamous
Clinton Foundation.

To Andy
Ringswald: For a citizen “to use the mayor-president's favorite word,
unity,” requires signing on for church and dialogues on racism. I won’t go
there, and I oppose the pastor’s coalition and the AMO affiliate, Together
Baton Rouge. Who elected AMO to intimidate the Metro-Council?
I advocate public use of the
agreement that is stated in the preamble to the constitution for the USA, as
stated. However, I advocate “unity” only as integrity in collaboration for
civic justice. Church and dialogues on racism have nothing to do with either
integrity or civic justice.
Baton Rouge needs to stop
special-interest payments so as to maintain the infrastructure. Cut back on
CATS and COA, for example. Also, don’t even propose property taxes without
sales tax supplements so as to share the cost with all citizens.
I will vote “No” on every pure property tax until I perceive there is civic reform in these parts. No more church and dialogues on racism and Together Baton Rouge.

The people (GEORGIE ANNE GEYER)

Liberal democrat writers get it but
resist President Trump’s commitment to the American people.
Citizens that don’t bone up on the
founding ideas for this nation---a people, are not working for themselves in
collaboration with President Trump.
A good starting point is General
Washington’s uninvited suggestions to fellow citizens. He referred to them as “your
Excellency.” Read founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/99-01-02-11404 and perhaps understand why some citizens call Washington the father of the USA.
Black stalking horses (Walter Williams)
townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2017/11/15/stalking-horses-n2408644
What has the Congressional Black Caucus
done for blacks? Williams lists “the grossly rotten education in our big-city
schools, mandated minimum wage, 33 black on black murders per police shooting
of a black.”
“Political
hustlers blame [ignore] the fact that poverty and racism were much greater
yesteryear, when there was not nearly the same amount of chaos. Also ignored is
the fact that the dangerous living conditions worsened under a black
president's administration.”
“[B]lack
Americans [may] stop being useful tools for the leftist hate-America agenda. White
liberals ought to stop feeling guilty so they can be [appreciative] in their
relationships with black Americans.”
Deep into my
eighth decade, I never warranted guilt, and I walked out of the sixth and final Maxine Crump 2002
performance as indoctrinator in the YWCA’s dialogues on racism.
No one can impose
guilt I did not earn.
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
