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.   

Today’s thought, G.E. Dean (Matthew 26:41 CJB)

“Stay awake, and pray that you will not be put to the test — the spirit indeed is eager, but human nature is weak.”

  

Dean says, “Pray. It saves a lot of pain and heartache.”

  

This reminds me of fellow-citizen George Washington’s June 8, 1783, as general to the Continental Army bid farewell and included a message to the citizens who had been freed from England’s tyranny. Some did not accept the authority to establish responsible freedom, and some of them moved back to England. Those who would stay and agree to form a nation that might survive could put into action Washington’s four Pillars. See loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/presentationsandactivities/presentations/timeline/amrev/peace/circular.html . He ended the letter with prayer to his personal God, which I would not feign to define.

Alas, in April and May, 1789, the first Congress, to deify their elections, imposed legislative chaplains to as to resume legislative deity English Parliament enjoys at the legislative expense of the people. Their purpose was to save “a lot of pain and heartache.” America has suffered legislative prayer ever since, and after 1700 years of pain and misery perhaps it will soon end.

I do not recommend following Dean.

    

Letters

Vote for your personal interests and never for someone else’s cause (Russo) (Dec 29)

I hope there will eventually be a more serious license to vote. For example, require a written test every eight years to confirm that the person is a civic citizen rather than a dissident to justice.

The test would constantly change, but could include one constant: Require the person to write his or her personal paraphrase of the preamble to the constitution for the USA and sign a commitment to collaborate for it to happen.

Government Street (Kunstler) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_2236f3ae-e725-11e7-a341-73698d71c1c1.html)

If most people who frequent Government Street agree with Kunstler, they have my support.

An economist expects benefits from the tax plan (Chenevert) (Dec 29)

This letter expresses the prediction I would expect from a CPA.

I hope people who left the work force will re-educate themselves for the profession they always wanted, so as to help the people achieve the possible. Also, I would influence them to think that a profession is merely a vehicle for life, during which time their purpose is to responsibly discover and achieve their personal preferences---achieve freedom during their chance at life.

  

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. He is agent for A Civic People of the United States, a Louisiana, education non-profit corporation. See online at promotethepreamble.blogspot.com.
