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.
Today's “Our Views”
informs readers of the veracity of my complaints against The Advocate: It’s a
free and irresponsible press for our hometown and theirs.
On November 23,
The Advocate published, under the caption “We should give thanks for our
problems,” this idea: “The
obesity epidemic: We Americans, as a people, are simply too fat for our own
good, and that’s led to all sorts of serious health problems, including heart
disease and diabetes. “theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/our_views/article_5ffbe81e-ca67-11e7-931c-43e818fe3e62.html
Today, The Advocate published “[Capitol disagreements
may slight] allotments for school children.” Gov. John Bel Edwards uses
Medicaid to cover out of control adult appetites and The Advocate uses child-education
for political gain.
I am concerned with rampant child abuse and neglect from
un-civic parenting let alone uncivil parents. In “Child incentives brief,” I encourage
civic citizens to support planned parenting. In the larger message I propose procreation
licensing and suggest criteria, such as chronological age to accommodate
developing personal, psychological maturity.
It seems The Advocate promotes taxing the people of
Louisiana in order to support obesity and other adult appetites: In a half week, The Advocate lamented obesity,
reported the governor’s arrogance for Medicaid, and suggested shorting
child-education.
Contrary to assumptions, a responsible press does not
merely kibitz the public and government. A responsible press keeps a journal of
public progress toward fidelity to the-objective-truth, to self, to immediate
family, to extended family and friends, to the people (the nation), to the world,
and to the universe, both respectively and collectively. A civic people so
authorize the press.
As journalists, the press deserves high esteem: as biased, kibitzing writers, attempting to influence public opinion rather than public integrity, they are un-civic, to say the least. Owner controlled, The Advocate seems to have the liberty to become a journalist. Perhaps with today’s rampant lying media, it is time for journalism as a business plan, at least in Baton Rouge.

Today’s Thought (Proverbs 29:23
CJB)
“The proud will be humbled, but the humble will be
honored. The accomplice of a thief hates himself; he hears himself put
under oath but discloses nothing. Fearing
human beings is a snare; but he who trusts in Adonai will be raised high
[above danger].”
Dean says “This is where the thought for the day is
explained.”
We see daily in each other’s faces and actions and in the
public misery and losses that justice comes from willing people rather than
from God or government.
Only gullibility to personal wisdom gives a person the
hubris to claim to know the-objective-truth, and the cure for such pride is
humility. However, humility is its own reward, so there is no need for honor. I'm impressed by neither Solomon nor Dean.
Columns. (The
fiction/non-fiction comments gallery for readers)
Death sentencing (James Gill)
(theadvocate.com/new_orleans/opinion/james_gill/article_be07a2f6-d127-11e7-881b-876b34d5e3c4.html)
Gill’s
hypothetical cannot be satisfied by thought. Even with a law that stipulates a
lifer caught killing a prison guard is to be immediately killed by firing squad
or hanging, such cases may come to pass, whether by passion or by evil.
I hope the La
Supreme Court follows Crichton’s ideas: streamline the death-penalty and execution
system so as to lessen misery and loss.
Pregnancy termination (Dan Fagan)
theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/article_23f08274-d135-11e7-9c4b-3f5dce2cfeea.html
“If you’re like
me and believe the safest place in the world for a baby [is] in a mother’s
womb, then Judicial nominee Kyle Duncan [seems a poor] candidate for the
bench,” because religion rather than civic morality seems to influence his
thinking.
The-objective-truth informs us that procreation
of human beings requires utmost care for ova with potential to become persons.
The way things are, an abundance of ova are produced---about 400 during a
typical woman’s fertile years, perhaps 70 million/year at today’s population.
With 4 million live births per year, about 94% of ova don’t make it to person.
I don’t know how many conceptions there are, but I recently guessed 9
million/yr, with 85% of terminations caused by defects detected by physics’
progeny, human biology. The way things are, the woman is in charge of her ova.
Most pregnancy-terminations are managed by
physics and psychology of human existence, and the ultimate natural
terminations is the mother’s decision to not remain pregnant---whether she has
her doctor’s agreement or not. By all means, no judge who has the arrogance to
employ his God to overrule her God has civic stake in her ovum’s outcome.
Roe-vs-Wade was the Supreme Court’s opinion that pregnancy termination is a
matter of privacy between a woman and her duty to her ova.
Perhaps beyond
consideration of the Court's opinion, Senator Kennedy is thinking about the
many ova that are fertilized, gestated, and delivered, only to become abused
and neglected adults---Marci Hamilton influences me to think it’s about 100
million Americans. Also, Kennedy may be thinking that abortion-for-fun can be
lessened by education, both in K-12 and adult education, rather than by forcing
women to remain pregnant and deliver a child destined to live without parental
appreciation.
I think Kennedy should
be left alone to take the action he was elected to take: Make tough decisions based on
the-objective-truth rather than emotional opinion.
Unabashed opinion (Michael Barone)
creators.com/read/michael-barone/11/17/will-political-setbacks-unite-the-republican-party
It seems to me Barone is another lying liberal democrat when
he says “. . . leaves Republicans double-digits behind Democrats . . .” with no
citation.
Here’s the notoriously liberal CNN view: “. . . 37% of
Americans have a favorable opinion of Democrats . . . But the Republican Party
isn't doing any better, with just 30% of Americans holding a favorable view.” cnn.com/2017/11/07/politics/cnn-poll-republicans-democrats-taxes/index.html This poll is reported only five days after Donna Brazile announced her notorious book.
I guess “fissiparous” differs from “divisive”
by group perspective. Thus, fissiparous Americans have divisive political parties.
Habitually abrogating Gov. John Bell Edwards (Jeff Sadow)
theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/jeff_sadow/article_2d1aef74-d12b-11e7-9117-b3b0427575bd.html
Gov. John Bel Edwards’ habitual “circumvention of the
law makes a mockery of checks and balances.”
Thank goodness the Louisiana
Attorney General, Jeff Landry, was also elected and takes the needed court
actions to constrain Edwards’ lawlessness.
Why promote “African Americans”? (Mark Ballard)
theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/mark_ballard/article_e7fa7eaa-d134-11e7-8bfb-b7f80877949c.html
This column expresses a divisive slant against civic
citizens---those who want civic peace.
When I was young, I took for granted the personal perception that black people are persons.
When I was young, I took for granted the personal perception that black people are persons.
Dad, a railroad-machinist when I was a newsboy, did not
object to my perception. He allowed me to let a father of three run up
three-weeks newspaper bill. A boy of twelve extended help to a grown man with
wife and children. He explained that he needed the Knoxville News-Sentinel to
look for a job. His full payment gave me self-confidence, but moreover affirmed
Dad’s humanity.
When I retired from my route, my only black customer said, “I
hate to see that. You’ve been the best on the block.” That sentiment helped me
later when bosses tried to say I was “sensitive” rather than constructively
aware.
It helped me in the 1970s when we supported public schools and
on to LSU and Louisiana College for our children; in 2000 when I asked Donna
Brazile if she was teaching voter registrants how to vote for personal
interests rather than as a block vote for politicians; when I confronted Maxine
Crump’s 2002 white-guilt-indoctrination in the YWCA’s dialogues on racialism; when
I opposed F. King Alexander’s 2016 symposium “Moment or Movement?”; and the “slip-it-in”
attitude I heard there; as I oppose Alinsky’s Chicago, IAF affiliate Together
Baton Rouge.
Is it possible that civic citizens are disillusioned with
block voting and are converting to awareness and votes that will actually
improve civic morality rather than promote politicians for the politician’s
wealth? If so, politicians and clergy would help themselves by reforming before
they become victims of the-objective-truth.
Some blacks express “Our people cannot trust a white man,”
but more in these parts seem to iterate collaboration for mutual, comprehensive
safety and security---in other words, civic peace.
The Advocate could find ways to help establish civic peace
rather than division.
Out to get Trump’s double voters (Michael Gerson)
washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-russia-investigations-spectacular-accumulation-of-lies/2017/11/16/741024bc-cb0e-11e7-8321-481fd63f174d_story.html?utm_term=.495d2e283576
Gerson proves there is no cure for his bias against civic citizens who intend to drain the swamp. Gerson knows why and I would not guess.
Alinsky-Marxist organization (AMO) in
Baton Rouge (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/crime_police/article_7cda1a6c-cfd2-11e7-807e-4f1ea3298257.html)
I encourage applicants for chief-of-police to not subjugate
themselves to Together Baton Rouge, an affiliate of Chicago and Alinsky originating
IAF. See togetherbr.org/about.
“Community policing” is advocated by people who want neither civic morality nor civic peace nor moral order but special favor. It’s bad enough that Mayor Broome with her church-and-dialogues-on-racialism platform advocate the imposition of bad police policy. However, the future chief does not need obligations to a clergy-coalition that employs AMO disruptions of civic order, such as mass-crowding Metro-Council meetings so as to intimidate.

To Shannon Chapman: I did not find your article, but each time I see one of those "Together Baton Rouge" pins or bumper stickers, I think "Choosing clergy-coalition cunning."
Stents in cardiology (startribune.com/landmark-study-casts-doubt-on-effectiveness-of-stents/454743643/)
I strongly doubt
the reliability of this report.
I was suffering
angina. I was in a Catch 22 of needing to exercise but not able to walk fast
enough. I did not want surgery of any kind. My cardiologist, cooperating with
my wishes, prescribed Ranexa. It provided very little relief. If I needed to
hurry along, I felt my life was at risk. Therefore, he used stents to open
flow.
Now, I feel free
to exercise as much as I want to.
I perceive two
reasons to doubt the report. Medical care in England may not be comparable to
medical care here. And the study may have used social science methods to favor
drugs for angina.
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
