Human, responsible freedom with hopes for the hereafter

Phil Beaver seeks to collaborate on the-objective-truth, which can only be discovered. 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.
 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 June 21, 1788 preamble:  We the civic citizens 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. Composing their own paraphrase, citizens may consider the actual preamble and perceive whether they are willing or dissident toward its principles.   

Our Views (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/our_views/article_821a9c72-da0e-11e7-992f-bfdbba3f2f06.html)

“[With typical disregard for the people of Louisiana] we applaud the governor’s” expensive reaction to the liability he created by hiring Johnny Anderson.

 

Even the governor’s “charge to the task force” is a diabolical abuse of civic intent. By all means the people want discrimination, for example, discrimination both against harassment and against all errant civic-behavior. Edwards’ now traditional irresponsibility is the reason Edwards employs public offenders, such as Department of Corrections’ thieves and someone with a record of sex-abuse accusations. I wish the people could hold Edwards liable for his arrogance against the-objective-truth or actual-reality.

Just a little thought alerts anyone to the fact that abuse is not a property. People in power don’t go around handing out harassment---it is selective. Actual harassment is a mutually nourished intimacy-event. The powerful who have ambitions for intimacy offer suggestions. Recipients respond to the suggestions with either personal rejection or encouragement but rarely with responsible freedom. In human, responsible freedom, the recipient reports the event to the institution---it’s a civic duty. Perhaps that’s how Mr. Anderson owns a record he wants to clear: civic people reported his behavior.

Women are referred to as “the fairer sex” for reasons regarding actual-reality. However, aggressive-woman power has always existed, and authentic women oppose that menace with a vengeance. Authentic women are humbly reliable, in other words, admirably strong. An authentic man understands woman power and cannot be easily entrapped. His reliable strength---fidelity---is what authentic women need.

Civic friendship is one of the most precious gifts of being human. By “human”, I mean, a member of the only species with the potential for personal, physical and psychological power for responsible freedom. Human responsibility is generally understood but often rejected. Human freedom is commonly wanted but often abused. But the comprehensive human power, responsible freedom, is not widely understood, because government regimes do not promote it. It requires fidelity to the-objective-truth. In responsible freedom, neither party in a heterosexual friendship allows intimacy.

Human responsible freedom is not widely understood, because the priest-politician-partnerships that resulted from cultural evolution encourage people to take the seemingly easy way of seeking freedom by assigning responsibility to an authority. Nicolo Machievelli, in “The Prince,” Chapter XI, informs us that an opportune route to power is to find a people with a god and claim a partnership that has that god’s authority. Since the people do not want the human authority of responsible freedom, they assign it to the priest-politician-partnership. Regimes keep the Chapter XI Machiavellianism in power as long as enough people reject the personal power of human responsible freedom. If a child is inculcated in the faith by age seven, it is difficult for him or her to reject arbitrary authority and embrace human, responsible freedom within a lifetime.

The signers of the constitution for the USA included a revolutionary preamble that claimed authority of the people. It is an opportunity which 2/3 of the people’s representatives ratified on June 21, 1788, establishing the USA of nine states. When the USA began operations on March 4, 1789, a tenth state had joined, three states expressing dissidence for their reasons. By May, 1789, the politicians of the ten-state Congress re-instituted American theism---factional Protestantism, and the priest-politician-partnership has prevailed until now.

Awakening the people to the achievability of widespread human responsible freedom would seem impossible, upon considering that the opportunity has been offered in the USA for 229 years. However, factional Christianity has had canonized Bibles for 1700 years, and Chapter XI Machiavellianism, reported 500 years ago, has operated for over 6000 years. Existence of this possibility is uniquely American and has been offered during only 3.8% of recorded history.

The people of 2017---our generation---has with both this forum’s proposals to collaborate to discover the-objective-truth in all civic affairs and the agreement stated in the preamble---the opportunity to establish civic peace through individual, human, responsible freedom.

For many citizens, articulation of human, responsible liberty is enough to establish the authority of the person who is willing to collaborate for mutually comprehensive safety and security so that each individual may confidently pursue the civic happiness he or she wants rather than the wishes of any arbitrary authority. Elimination of the failure to articulate the opportunity empowers the opportunity.

Let each Baton Rougean embrace human, responsible freedom rather than dominant civic opinion, without doubting his or her hopes for the hereafter.

Today’s thought, G.E. Dean (Exodus 20:16 CJB)

“Do not give false evidence against your neighbor.”

Dean says, “Respect the truth and reputation of others. Always speak the truth.”

The Jewish scripture is questionable. What’s the meaning: false evidence? Evidence comes from discovery, which itself is the-objective-truth. The only way evidence can be made false is if the observe lies about it, either honestly or arrogantly. Honest lying comes from shunning the work to avoid reporting a mirage. Arrogantly lying comes from knowledge that the evidence was false but reporting it anyway. Also, what’s the meaning of “neighbor”? Why isn’t the rule simply “Do not give false evidence” (notwithstanding the objections I already raised)?

I don’t care to waste my time responding to Dean’s opinions.

Do the people have options? (Webre) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_2df255ae-dc3e-11e7-a91a-dfea044fc10f.html)

I wonder what Webre is asking for. The Christian ministry by Burl Caine in conjunction with the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary has been justly defamed. It’s like pick-pockets who teach and coach crooks to become recruiters. See globalprisonseminaries.org/our-founder/.

The scheduled release of prisoners is underway, but there have been no announcements of viable programs for criminal reform. Are citizens being asked for lenience on released criminals; to wait for a less corrupt judicial system; to wait for professional mental hospitals for psychologically impaired neighbors? To educate wayward citizens in the possibility for responsible civic freedom? Why wait?

By all means, do not resume the imposition of religion on human beings. Humans have the potential to embrace responsible freedom rather than pretend God has their personal, civic responsibility then wait for God to take control of their civic behavior. Crooks make prime recruits to preach a corrupt practice: the imposition of religion into civic morality.

Innocent religious hopes are for the hereafter.

School superintendents abusing students (White)

(theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_df4f0184-db81-11e7-a4d1-53135e4ff163.html)

I appreciate White’s attention to this deplorable abuse of children by their parents. Subjecting a child to the public humiliation of the parents’ refusal to pay school costs is barbaric parenthood.

Confusing writing (Lanny Keller) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/lanny_keller/article_3b7bface-de94-11e7-bbb5-f767311faf11.html)

Talk about confusion!

I thought Pogo meant the people’s enemy was the people seeking help from God and government. Now I see at as the people’s fear of human, responsible freedom; in other words, civic justice made possible by the people who nevertheless did not doubt personal hopes for the afterdeath.

  

Back to Trump bashing (George Will) sltrib.com/opinion/commentary/2017/12/10/george-f-will-how-long-will-congress-remain-a-bystander-regarding-war/

Will is such a lush for his personal wisdom!

He complains about Trump. For example, “North Korea, says Trump, is a ‘situation we will handle’ — ‘we will take care of it.’” Will seems to think there’s a human, responsible freedom above the USA president’s claim: The buck stops here.

Will smells of his hubris, and I’ve had about enough of his laborious writing. It seems George Will has lost appreciation for humility.

Phil Beaver does not “know” the-indisputable-facts, or actual-reality. He trusts and is committed to the-objective-truth of which most is undiscovered and some is understood.
