Phil Beaver seeks to collaborate on the-objective-truth,
which can only be discovered. The comment box below invites readers to write.
"Civic"
refers to citizens who collaborate for responsible freedom 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 to us by the USA. I am willing
to collaborate with other citizens on this paraphrase, yet may settle on and
would always preserve the original text.
“Messing with NAFTA, what had seemed a settled part of the
business landscape, can become one of the “exogenous shocks” that could hurt in
2018.”
This conclusion
reads like a hangover from The Advocate’s concern about newsprint and the
savings they have enjoyed buying from Canadian companies. I think a more
responsible approach would be to find a US newsprint producer and negotiate an
integrated relationship with them: We’ll be a big consumer if you keep our cost
low.
Consider, for
example, a paper mill in Maine that shut down ending 214 jobs, over this same
dispute:
centralmaine.com/2016/03/14/madison-paper-industries-to-close-by-may-affecting-214-workers/
.
Also, I don't
like it that Canadian citizens can import up to $800 US goods duty free but
Americans can buy only $20 Canadian goods duty free. Where's the fairness in
NAFTA?
When will The
Advocate reform to interest in its readers? America can be great by trading
fairly.

Appreciating Senator
Kennedy
(Stephanie Grace) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/stephanie_grace/article_113a87e4-f230-11e7-904a-9b9ca81b32df.html)
To Scuddy
Leblanc: I’d hope Grace would take the occasion to show a bipartisan attitude
by urging for children help not yet delivered.
Alas, “A [tigress
didn’t] change [her] stripes.”
Free and responsible speech (Jeff Sadow)
theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/jeff_sadow/article_b2c48f76-f102-11e7-afe1-078ccf72b129.html
The
constitution for the great state of Louisiana makes it clear that a person may
suffer the consequences of irresponsible expression. For example, a person
cannot voice or write a threat to person or institution, without being held
responsible. A person cannot yell “Fire,” in a public place without liability
for consequences.
We the People
of the United States may amend the First Amendment to the constitution for the
USA to defend “free and responsible expression”---for both the people and the
press. Clarification of responsibility for
expressions would help protect citizens from error in personal judgement and
from fake news as a business plan.
Free and
responsible expression is another illustration of the principle we recently
recognized (with the help of Rose Wilder Lane's 1943 book, "The Discovery
of Freedom"): Each human being has the authority to collaborate for
responsible freedom. However, from infancy, most people are trained to abrogate
their personal authority to a "higher power." In this case, an
egocentric interpretation of the constitution for the USA.
Balanced budget old concept (George Will)
twincities.com/2018/01/04/george-will-after-the-tax-overhaul-america-needs-a-balanced-budget-amendment-more-than-ever/
I commend Will for continuing this promotion. See washingtonpost.com/opinions/george-will-amend-the-constitution-to-control-federal-spending/2014/04/09/00fa7df6-bf3c-11e3-bcec-b71ee10e9bc3_story.html?utm_term=.f89e8131c96e.
I hope Congress takes action commensurate with Will’s wishes.

States, a Louisiana, education non-profit corporation. See online at
