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 individual
happiness with civic integrity more than for the city, state, nation, or
society.
Consider writing a
personal paraphrase of the preamble, which offers fellow citizens mutual
equality: For discussion, I convert the
preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and paraphrase it for my proposal as
follows: “We a civic people of the united states, in order to develop
human responsibility--integrity, justice, defense, peace and prosperity—so as
to secure individual liberty for now and for future citizens, pursue statutory
justice in the USA.”
I want to collaborate with the other citizens on this paraphrase and theirs. I would preserve the original, 1787, text, unless it is amended by the people.

It seems no
one has challenged whether or not the preamble is a legal statement. The fact
that it changed this independent country from a confederation of states to a
union of states deliberately managed by disciplined fellow citizens convinces
me the preamble is legal. Equity in opportunity and outcome is shared by the
people who collaborate for human justice.
Every citizen
has equal opportunity to either trust-in and collaborate-on the goals stated in
the preamble or be dissident to the agreement. I think 2/3 of citizens try
somewhat to use the preamble but many do not articulate commitment to the
goals. However, it seems less than 2/3 understand that “posterity” implies
grandchildren. “Freedom of religion,” which fellow citizens have no means to
discipline, oppresses freedom to develop integrity.
Selected theme from this week
Spiritual serenity. In our work to understand the U.S. preamble
(the preamble to the U.S. Constitution), we have discovered that its seeming
omission of religion, spirituality, and God consigns to the individual citizen
the responsibility for the separation of church and state so as to provide
tranquility or peace.
Our latest paraphrase offer for civic collaboration is: We a civic people of the united states, in
order to develop human responsibility--integrity, justice, defense, peace and prosperity—so
as to secure individual liberty for now and for future citizens, pursue
statutory justice in the USA.
Having collaborated for mutual understanding, we would
always uphold the existing U.S. preamble. It’s public provision that corresponds
to “peace” is tranquility. The provision of tranquility so as to secure liberty
implies privacy in religious or spiritual beliefs. In other words, the individual
citizen is serene in his or her beliefs and does not attempt to impose them on
fellow citizens. No one presents their God or none for evaluation or
collaboration in a civic forum.
Individuals who look to God or government to separate church
and state may overlook a precious feature of being a U.S. citizen: The individual may either collaborate for or
reject the U.S. preamble’s proposition. However, he or she who introduces
religious or spiritual issues in civic, civil, and legal issues may breach the
tranquility the U.S. preamble proposes.
In an achievable, better future every religion, philosophy,
or culture that collaborates under the U.S. preamble flourishes according to
believers’ preferences.
News
On April 6, 2019 in Berlin, speaking before 300 young
leaders, Barack Obama seemed to declare separation from his country’s
independence and to assert that since he and Michelle cannot clone themselves
they will use the Obama Foundation to advance “our democracy” using the young
leaders’ organizations and after Europe, the world. Drawing from his early experiences as an organizer and late
experiences in elected office, he seemed to assert that in retirement, he plans
to take Saul Alinsky’s boast a step further. While Alinsky would organize hell,
Obama would organize the chaos of “our democracy.”
While Europe seems foolishly socialist, I doubt most people
there will forego human, individual power, individual energy, and individual
authority (HIPEA) to subjugate themselves to Obama’s “our democracy” chaos. Obama’s foolish disclosure is that his
method of negotiation is to take what he can get today, intending to come back
tomorrow for the other party’s surrender. Too many humans accept their HIPEA and
will not cooperate-with, subjugate-to, submit-to, or surrender-to Obama’s
dream.
Of course,
Obama is active in Chicago “movements.” Obama agents for skin-color politics
are at work in Baton Rouge. An attorney for an accused of skin-color in a case
with a victim who had skin color, is challenging the court’s management of
jurors. Whereas U.S. Amendment VI (1791) requires a state to provide a speedy
trial with local, impartial jurors, the attorney is claiming the right to young
jurors---age 18 rather than above 25.
It is well
known that the human body completes construction of the wisdom parts of the
brain at age 25 for males, 23 for females. The critical ages and gender
distinction is well documented by driver-liability insurance statistics. Given
a few years for personal experience and observations to influence the
individual to appreciate civic integrity, a civic people would not authorize
citizens to perform jury duty until age 35! The U.S. Constitution recognizes psychological
maturing with chronological progress, stipulating that U.S. representatives
must be at least 25, Senators 30, and Presidents 35. In a fellow citizen’s
criminal trial, a mature juror is at least as essential as reliable President.
The juror is
an essential agent in the judge-jury provisions of criminal courts. Mere
existence is insufficient qualification to hear a judge’s instructions and
reliably adhere to the law. The architect’s words on the U.S. Supreme Court
building, “Equal Justice Under Law,” is controversial, but I think the court is
ever improving, I hope to strive for equitable statutory justice. I think I
have observed progress during my lifetime. However, it makes no sense to
empower a person for jury duty so as to both accept DNA evidence to acquit the
accused and deny DNA evidence to convict the guilty. That kind of duplicity is
a staple of Obama’s “our democracy.”
In this
country, the proposition for equity under discovery of statutory justice is the
preamble to the U.S. Constitution. It’s a proposition for human, responsible
liberty. Only the human species can develop the civic integrity required for
responsible liberty. Willing citizens collaborate for Union, Justice,
Tranquility, defense, and Welfare so as to secure liberty to living and future
citizens. Dissidents to the proposition may face statutory law and its
enforcement yet remain fellow citizens who may reform. The obligation to
citizens who died is to benefit from their good and make certain living and
future people do not repeat their mistakes.
Obama’s
organization for “our democracy’s” chaos, like past despotisms begs woe. I hope
that in the near future Congress will amend the constitution so as to require
elected and appointed officials including lawyers, judges, and jury members to
have demonstrated their trust-in and commitment-to the U.S. preamble’s
proposition: human, responsible liberty.
Quora
https://www.quora.com/Does-society-work-best-in-the-field-of-utilitarian-collectivism-or-in-the-individualist-field-that-is-each-in-itself
I’d like to answer liberally. Humankind is served by
individuals voluntarily collaborating for equity under statutory justice and
agreeing to improve statutory law and its enforcement as a system for the
worthy work.
I like the civic, civil, and legal proposition that is
offered fellow citizens in the U.S. preamble. Willing people collaborate to
provide Union, Justice, Tranquility, defense, and welfare to as to secure human
liberty to living citizens and future citizens.
The USA has an achievable better future when at least 2/3 of
fellow citizens are collectively collaborating under the U.S. preamble’s
proposition. If you like this idea, share it so that it will become viral and
motivate 220 million fellow citizens to collaborate under the U.S. preamble.
https://www.quora.com/unanswered/What-does-freedom-being-free-means-to-you
I like the simplicity of the proposition I perceive in the
U.S. preamble: We the People of the United States take responsibility to
provide Union, Justice, Tranquility, defense, and Welfare so as to secure human
liberty for both living and future fellow citizens. Under the U.S. preamble’s
proposition, most citizens collaborate for freedom-from oppression so that each
individual may take the liberty-to secure human liberty. Humans are the only
living species with the awareness to pursue responsible liberty. The U.S.
preamble’s beauty is that fellow citizens are free to collaborate for equity
under the preamble’s civic, civil, and legal proposition or not.
I hope and work for freedom-from oppression so as to secure
the liberty-to responsibly pursue personal happiness.
https://www.quora.com/Has-America-gone-from-a-God-fearing-society-at-its-founding-to-a-Godless-society-now
Not at all. On the contrary, it is becoming evident that
spirituality and religion are human endeavors for comfort and hope in the face
of a confused world. Confused first because most individuals have differing
heartfelt concerns and diverse remedies when concerns are similar.
Some people know they are neither omniscient nor omnipotent
and therefore make the best choice they perceive in both their daily lives and
in their long term goals. However, many people adopt concerns that are
presented to them by the world’s cultures and institutional enterprises.
Because the enterprises are competitive the concerns and remedies are
competitive.
Each human has the individual power, energy, and authority
(HIPEA) to develop either integrity to the-objective-truth or infidelity. Some
attempt to consign their HIPEA to an enterprise, whether God-fearing or
Godless. The-objective-truth about God is that the possible entity has been
neither discovered nor disproven.
No two believers have the same God. In fact, no two priests have the same God, as we observe daily in competitive Christian sects and between priests within a given sect.
The observations I express are mine. However, they are available to everyone to assess. Happily, there is an achievable, better future, and I hope we are in the transition. Here’s a possibility.

The U.S. preamble’s proposition is for civic citizens to
collaborate on the responsibility for freedom-from oppression so that fellow
citizens may secure responsible liberty to both living and future citizens;
criminals may reform. The only obligations to past citizens is gratitude for
their good and prevention of repeating or traditionalizing their mistakes. The
U.S. preamble’s proposition is to collaborate to provide Union, Justice,
Tranquility, defense, and Welfare so as to secure liberty to both living
citizens and future citizens. No $22 trillion debt, for example.
The U.S. preamble’s words are Godless, not to oppress
believers, but to assign to both believers and non-believers the responsibility
for both Tranquility and liberty. It is left to the individual to accept his or
her HIPEA and collaborate for Tranquility including individual spiritual peace
and privacy. With at least 2/3 of citizens joining We the People of the United
States as defined by the U.S. preamble’s proposition, every Tranquil religion
or none may flourish under collaboration by believers rather than conflict
under imposition by government.

https://www.quora.com/Why-does-American-society-constantly-seek-for-more-than-what-they-have
The American proposition for equity is stated in the U.S.
preamble: We the People of the United States take responsibility for Union,
Justice, Tranquility, defense, and Welfare so as to secure human liberty to
ourselves and future citizens (posterity). The human species is the only one
that can take responsibility for liberty.
Civic citizens are aware of and collaborate for the U.S.
preamble’s proposition, even though few would articulate the civic, civil, and
legal contract as I have. Nevertheless, most Americans perceive an obligation
to offer their children, grandchildren and beyond an achievable better future.
As the presence of inhabitants who have no regard for equity
under the U.S. preamble increases, the opportunity to collaborate for the U.S.
preamble’s proposition declines. It is up to this generation to establish the
U.S. preamble’s proposition after 231 years of obfuscation and neglect.
https://www.quora.com/What-are-2-things-about-individuals-that-dont-change
First, the human ovum has little chance for a successful
human life. For example of some 800 million viable U.S. ova these years only 4
million become infants. None of the infants have equal chance for success, so
their only hope is equity of consequences in a confused world. Hopefully, they
will choose to collaborate for responsible liberty under the U.S. preamble’s
civic, civil, and legal proposition.
Second, the body completes the wisdom parts of the brain by
age 25, and the individual may acquire possible understanding and intent to
live a full life. He or she encounters choices that accumulate into one of two
paths: integrity to the-objective-truth or infidelity. The-objective-truth
exists and can only be discovered rather than constructed by human endeavor.
Infidelity tends to lessen life span and increase pain and loss. The path he or
she follows determines the outcome of his or her life.
I write to learn and would appreciate comments.
I would end the search for higher power.
Every human has the individual power, the individual energy,
and the individual authority (HIPEA) to develop either integrity or infidelity.
With most people individually collaborating for integrity
rather than expecting control by a higher authority, human misery and loss can
decline.
The first habit is: neither initiate nor tolerate harm to or
from anyone.
I’d have to evaluate the other eleven.

https://www.quora.com/What-would-it-take-it-your-opinion-for-equality-to-happen-in-America
Humans already have equality and only need to accept it. The
challenge is equity.
The possibility for equity begins with cultural approval-of
and encouragement-in a civic agreement. “Civic” means the living people
collaborating for mutual, comprehensive safety and security. In America, the
proposition for equity is stated in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution.
The U.S. preamble states:
We the people of the United States take responsibility for Union,
Justice, Tranquility, defense, and Welfare so as to secure human liberty to
ourselves and future citizens. No other living species has the awareness to
take responsibility for liberty. In responsible liberty, each person may pursue
individual happiness with civic integrity.
We need at least 2/3 of fellow citizens collaborating under
the U.S. preamble and the-objective-truth to establish an achievable, better
future.

If you like this message, help it go viral.
Accept that human awareness makes the species higher than
any other living thing. Encourage each person to think he or she has the human
individual power, individual energy, and individual authority (HIPEA) to choose
to develop either integrity or infidelity. Encourage choosing integrity.
Encouraging fellow citizens to accept their HIPEA and use it
to develop integrity would create an achievable better future.
https://www.quora.com/How-can-we-possibly-trust-our-government-how-can-we-believe-anything-they-say
First, it is not our government: It is the politicians’ and officials’
government. So, for the next couple years we cannot trust even one elected or
appointed official, whether local, state, or federal office. However, if you
act on this message, that could change very fast.
We the People of the United States, as defined by the
proposition that is offered in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, hereafter
“the U.S. preamble’s proposition,” can effect a better future as soon as 2/3 of
fellow citizens adopt the proposition and vote for politicians who have
demonstrated civic integrity according to the U.S. preamble. This message needs
to reach 220 million Americans and the eligible voters they represent.
Study the U.S. preamble and write an interpretation or
paraphrase to which you would commit and trust. Then, publically promote the
original proposition, which asserts: Fellow
citizens collaborate to fulfill five human responsibilities---Union, Justice,
Tranquility, defense, and Welfare---in order to secure liberty to us, our
progeny and other future citizens. Since there’s no mention of religion or
spirituality except by inference of the responsibilities and the liberty, that
practice is private. In other words, religion and spirituality are private
pursuits and not the subject of civic, civil, or legal collaboration. No
citizen presents their God or none for public collaboration.
By individually adopting the U.S. preamble’s proposition,
citizens will quickly establish pursuits of individual happiness with civic
integrity. Officials who do not conform will be either unelected or fired.
https://www.quora.com/What-are-two-things-you-would-change-about-the-world
First, I would reform the cultures that encourage people to
seek a higher power regarding ultimate justice. Justice comes from living
fellow citizens rather than from government or God, whatever-that-is. I write
whatever-that-is rather than whatever-that-may-be, realizing that chaos may be
in control and may end in annihilation. I don’t think God is chaos but admit I
do not know the-objective-truth about God. I admit to my human, individual
power, energy, and authority (HIPEA) to admit I do not know the-objective-truth
about many actual realities.
Second, I would lessen cultural fascination with “love one
another” in order to favor appreciation. Some people don’t want love,
especially the love some people offer. However, almost everyone wants to earn
appreciation and celebrates a fellow citizen’s conduct that warrants gratitude.
https://www.quora.com/Why-do-societies-appear-apathetic-to-so-many-obvious-wrongs-within-the-respective-society?
Within about the third decade of a human’s attainment of
comprehension for survival, he or she admits that civil morality, societies,
and civilizations are fungible, and personal success hinges on
self-reliance---human authenticity. No other living species has the cognitive
ability to admit to human-individual power, energy, and authority (HIPEA) to
develop either integrity or infidelity. Many people, influenced by their
culture, erroneously assume they can consign their HIPEA to a government or a
God.
On the path for developing civic integrity, the aspiring
person notices many fellow citizens who develop infidelity, even nourish
banality. Observing that fellow citizens who are dissident to integrity could
reform any time they perceive incentives and motivation, the authentic human
tends to rely on example to encourage them to reform, admitting that
exhortation is practically futile and coercion or force is not their
prerogative.
To the dissident, authentic human responsibility for liberty
erroneously seems like apathy. For example, the habitual beggar may regard as
apathetic the fellow citizen who does not support the habit.
In today’s cultures, few humans mature in individual
happiness with civic integrity. It takes at least six decades if it happens.
That could change relatively fast if this message goes viral in distribution
and collaboration for even better statements.
With the articulation of HIPEA, there may be an attainable
better future on the way. I hope so.
https://www.quora.com/Anyone-with-a-job-usually-works-long-hours-which-affects-our-way-of-living-in-a-negative-way-What-can-society-do-with-the-government-to-change-the-social-normal-of-working?
I
like your question and want to use some different words to answer. The question
is expressed subjectively: long-hours, negative, society, and social norm are
subjective ideas. So the first action the individual can take is to collaborate
to discover the-objective-truth.
For example, at any moment in time, goods and
services needed balanced with the available supply, like it or not, determines
the viability of an increase in population. Perhaps a first step would be to
publish a population-viability index indicating how much risk the next
procreation places on that newborn human. The U.S. debt clock (U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time) is at $22.2 trillion
dollars and climbing. Since debt is climbing, U.S. newborns each year, about 4
million, each assumes their $5.6 million/infant share of the debt. Some parents
are aware of this liability and perceive they are among the proprietary faction
whose offspring traditionally survive. Other fellow citizens are clueless about
responsibility to their offspring.
Proprietary
inequity has been promoted by the British Empire for perhaps 3600 years, and
England’s constitutional classism developed over the last 800 years. English
dominance was imposed on this land’s eastern seaboard colonies beginning 400
years ago. A proprietary faction of U.S. citizens do all they can to preserve
English tradition through traditional classism. My state was more a French
colony.
Putting
erroneous “society” aside, I turn your question to: What can the individual do
to discipline government?
Each
U.S. citizen is offered a proposition for human, responsible liberty under the
preamble to the U.S. Constitution, “the U.S. preamble” for short. Willing
citizens collaborate for five freedoms-from oppression---Unity, Justice,
Tranquility, defense, and Welfare---so as to encourage human liberty. I write
“human liberty” because the human species is the only living species with the
cognizance to discover statutory justice as events unfold.
Adoption
of the U.S. preamble’s proposition is a commitment to civic, civil, and legal
self-discipline so as to practice responsible liberty. With 2/3 of the
population committed-to and trusting-in the U.S. preamble, elected and
appointed officials would conform to the U.S. preamble or be either unelected
or fired.
In other words, we need 220 million Americans
using the U.S. preamble and the-objective-truth to collaborate for individual
happiness with civic integrity. Help accelerate an achievable better future by
taking this message viral.
I like most of the earlier responses, especially the
cultural suggestions. I add that most cultures need reform toward encouraging
people to develop responsible liberty. This idea surfaced after two-decades’
personal study and five years’ public collaboration in local libraries.
The source is a view of the proposition in the preamble to
the U.S. Constitution, for short, the U.S. preamble. As I learn, my paraphrase
changes, and this morning it is: We a
civic people of the united states, in order to develop human
responsibility--discipline, civic integrity, justice, defense, and
prosperity--so as to encourage present and future liberty, pursue statutory
justice in the USA.
It’s an impossible yet worthy dream. A civic people
continually improve statutory law so as to develop the impossible: statutory
justice. I encourage people to paraphrase the U.S. preamble according to the view
he or she trusts-in and commits-to, yet collaborate with fellow citizens to
practice, promote, and celebrate the actual sentence.
As someone pointed out, the human species develops early
adulthood during the first three decades. By then, the individual who was
coached-in and was drawn by integrity (a practice that far surpasses honesty),
begins to develop human individual power, energy, and authority (HIPEA) in
integrity rather than infidelity. If cultures approved and encouraged HIPEA for
integrity, responsible liberty would be prevalent rather than isolated by
dissidence such as crime.
Unfortunately, while the study of physics (let’s call it the
interchangeability of mass and energy above the speed of light) and its progeny
(chemistry, mathematics, imagination, fiction, and everything else) informed us
that our sun is another natural nuclear reactor, the belief that it is God has
been transferred to countless human constructs that are followed by some
believers. In other words, there is a cultural tendency to cooperate-with,
subject-to, or otherwise depend upon a “higher power.” Once engrained, the
tendency to seek higher power is so intense some people move from God to God as
doctrinal faults in a particular God appear to the believer. Some people look
to government to take responsibility for his or her liberty.
All humans are subject to physics, and some humans find hope
and comfort in spiritual beliefs. Since every human has HIPEA that he or she
cannot actually consign to another entity, spiritual believers cannot impose on
non-believers. That is, in responsible liberty, spiritual pursuits are private
while civic pursuits (mutual, comprehensive safety and security) are public. In
other words, separation of church and state cannot be institutionally effected.
Each person may tend to civic integrity while practicing individual happiness,
whether spirituality if involved or not.
These principles offer an achievable better future, and that
future is beginning as I write. What is needed in the USA is 220 million people
practicing the U.S. preamble’s proposition: human, responsible liberty. No
other species has the HIPEA to practice responsible liberty. Help make a better
future by sharing this message or better in your own way.

First, no other living species has the human capacity for
integrity. Every human has the individual power, the individual energy, and the
individual authority (HIPEA) to develop either integrity or infidelity.
It takes the human a quarter century to complete the wisdom
parts of the brain. Given a few decades developing integrity, maturity may
emerge beyond six decades, if at all, and wisdom is rarely achieved.
By puberty, an autonomous human begins to perceive that if
he or she wants preferred food, work for the income to pay will be necessary.
Otherwise, they’ll contend-with yet thank a bureaucrat for mere sustenance.
Rather than choose to cooperate with bureaucrats, the autonomous person decides
to work so as to exercise personal preferences for living rather than accept
the dictates of someone else. With more than survival preferences, he or she
carefully chooses work that pays high wages.
Most people, in two-three decades make the decision to
collaborate with autonomous citizens rather than appeal to others to aid
provision of personal preferences. In other words, most people recognize that
their first obligation as a citizen is to take care of themselves.
These ideas are expressed in the preamble to the U.S.
Constitution (the U.S. preamble). It proposes to each fellow citizen
collaboration for five provisions---Union, Justice, Tranquility, defense, and
Welfare---so as to take human responsible liberty. Fellow citizens enjoy human
responsible liberty in proportion to their practice of the U.S. preamble’s
proposition. Collaborating citizens encourage dissidents to reform by example
more than exhortation, coercion, or force.
Authentic human beings collaborate for responsible liberty
more than cooperate or redistribute. Past generations have left us the
privilege of establishing a culture based on the U.S. preamble’s proposition.
We need at least 220 million Americans collaborating to
establish justice under the U.S. preamble. Let’s get started. Make this message
go viral!

“Rejecting both nature and God as normative guides, the
modern person now self-creates and self-wills ethical knowledge.”
I think “self-wills ethical knowledge” is nonsense. Ethics
slowly conforms to civic integrity.
Some living people view the-objective-truth as the standard
for both personal fidelity and civic integrity. They trust-in and commit-to
physics the object rather than the study—E=mC2 or better— and its progeny:
mathematics, chemistry, biology, psychology, imagination, fiction, and all the
rest of existence. The-objective-truth exists and can only be discovered.
Actual reality that has not been discovered often causes
heartfelt concern. Some people are motivated by personal commitment to handle
whatever comes, to the extent of their personal abilities, including the
outcomes, such as death. Others seek hope and comfort in spiritualism or
religion. If so, they may admit to themselves that the-objective-truth does not
respond to hopes and dreams, and they will finally face outcomes.
Meanwhile, proprietors slowly reform the terms “nature,”
“God,” and “ethics” so as to conform-to yet never admit-to the-objective-truth.
Somehow, proprietors perceive that the-objective-truth can be suppressed by
tradition or other human construct.
I have not the propriety to deny the-objective-truth and
wish to promote discovery rather than competition for dominant opinion.
Phil
Beaver does not “know.” He trusts in and is committed to the-objective-truth which
can only be discovered. Conventional wisdom has truth founded on reason, but it
obviously does not work.
