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 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 appreciation: For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and
paraphrase it for my interpretation of its proposal as follows We the People of the United States proffer &
practice 5 public disciplines —- integrity, justice, peace, strength, and
prosperity, “in order to” encourage & facilitate
responsible-human-independence “to ourselves and our Posterity”. I want to improve my interpretation by listening to
other citizens and their interpretations yet would preserve the original, 1787,
text, unless it is amended by the people.
It seems the
Supreme Court occasionally refers to it, and 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
Un-elect/fire public officials who claim civil-religion
rather than civic-integrity
News

The
prosecutor got the news from 2 vulnerable agents: Trump's lenders fear public
disclosure of their collaboration on high real estate appraisals and the IRS
fears public disclosure that they turned a blind eye to low real estate
appraisals. Trump said during his campaign for President that he is expert at
plying government-corrupted capital systems, so he is well qualified to restore
public trust. I think he was correct.
True, it seems: He was a playboy. But if a human-being cannot reform ---
discover and adopt civic-integrity, none of us can qualify to vote.
Unfortunately, Trump chose a conservative Christian for running mate. That is,
a Christian without the imagination to allow Jesus to judge whether a
human-being observes the responsibility to constrain chaos on earth, as
suggested in Genesis 1:28. Jesus reportedly claimed concurrence if not
authorship, assuming he said, "Before Abraham was born I am". Pence
would do himself a favor to move to another country, there to discover Jesus'
opinion about Pence.
If Trump runs again, may he choose a running mate with a record of civic-integrity
more than civil-religion. Regardless,
I may not vote for Trump a 5th time.

quora.com/What-is-the-merit-of-bureaucracy?
by VICENT MPONDI
Merriam-webster. com informs us bureaucracy means “government characterized
by specialization of functions, adherence to fixed rules, and a hierarchy of
authority”. The U.S. bureaucracy proposed in 1787 seems worthy to establish
rather than the corrupt Anglo-American tradition we suffer..
The Sumer civilization, in 5,500 year-old cuneiform records suggested, with
a 2022 view, that female& male-human-being can& may, independent of
other political power, constrain chaos on earth. See the 3,000 year-old
colloquially-constructed interpretation in Genesis 1:28.
Human-beings who choose to constrain chaos on earth take charge to provide
necessity& justice. They work to receive income with which to 1) sustain
their chosen responsible-privacy, 2) provide public infrastructure, and 3)
constrain dependent species, including fellow-citizens who choose to pursue
dependency for life. The dependencies include sloth, crime, and tyranny.
Necessity& justice require systems of imposed-constraint to practice,
facilitate, and encourage responsible-human-independence (RHI). If a dependent
citizen reforms to RHI, justice is served. Habitual-evil invites termination.
Necessity& justice require that most fellow-citizens, a nation,
collectively earn income by continually increasing innovative supply of goods
and services, in order to meet the needs of inhabitants, who increase in both
number and in quality of life. Safety& security are essential to
responsible human-development.
As much as possible national functions must be prioritized for human-kind
survival, leaving responsible individual-development to private choice. In
other words, civic-citizens choose their responsible intentions for life. First,
there’s innovation to improve needed goods& services. Second,
there’s reliable supply& delivery of necessary goods& services. Third,
is quality of human enrichment: practice, education, facilitation, and
encouragement to “ourselves and our Posterity” to take responsibility to
discover unique-human perfection.
The management of the above 3 human functions, in a constitutional republic,
is bureaucracy. In the U.S. republic, civic-citizens employ modified democracy
to manage their state and the rule of law to manage the union of states; the
nation. The state democracies are modified by multiple counties, each with s
representative to local interests.
The U.S. preamble enumerates domestic discipline: integrity, justice, peace,
strength, and prosperity “to ourselves and our Posterity” including legal
immigrants. The bureaucracy can& must serve these U.S. intentions. That is,
in the U.S., the hierarchy begins with “ourselves and our Posterity”: the
civic-citizens of We the People of the United States.
As of 2022, past generations have accommodated 3 dependencies to take
precedence over survival. First, the generations have developed appetite
for adult, banal-satisfactions rather than for the self-interest
of civic-integrity. We see this in the insatiable appetite for entertainment
and the high premiums placed on gratification for the moment. The super-bowl is
annually forgettable, and the half-time-shows increasingly salacious. They say
it’s what the people want, but I don’t think so. Second, inhabitants accommodate
100%-premium salaries to bureaucrats. Third, most citizens wait for
their God to relieve their descendants of $ 30.1 trillion U.S. debt and
climbing. That’s $7.52 million to each of this years’ newborn babies.
The existing path to U.S. ruin need not be accommodated. We, the 2022 We the
People of the United States, can& may establish constraint on
U.S. bureaucracy. Constraint starts at the top: the people.
quora.com/In-intelligent-parlance-what-is-information? by Leonilo Lacbayen Jr
Merriam-webster. com opines that knowledge is “the sum of
what is known”. Compare their “truth”: “the body of true statements and
propositions’. It seems lies& speculation are included in “what is known”
even though excluded from “true statements”. On the other hand, identification
of a lie is the truth regarding that lie.
Thus, human-being can share the knowledge that neither
freedom nor liberty can be warranted by any government or God. However, each
human-being can& may practice independence.
For example, no human-being can “witness for” Jesus, a
mysterious human construct. Only Jesus might opine that a person takes Jesus’
suggestions to consideration, intention, and practice.
How many human-beings constrain chaos in their way of living, in order to
pursue perfection of their unique person, as Jesus perhaps suggested in Genesis
1:28?
quora.com/In-your-opinion-which-form-of-government-is-the-best-to-strive-for-and-why?
by Alice
The
representative republic that the 1787 U.S. Constitution demands, with a couple
improvements, could& may promote an achievable better future.
My
response begins with 3 old/ancient, promising documents.
First,
about 5,500 years ago, Sumer suggested a political philosophy: Female&
male-human-being can and may independently constrain chaos on earth. That is,
there is no other higher authority to manage life in the factual reality of
physics& progeny. The progeny include mathematics, biology, psychology,
imagination, etc.
I
call constraining chaos on earth “responsible-human-independence” (RHI), the hyphens to
beg the reader not to separate one word from the expression. Hebrew scholars
recorded the suggestion 3,000 years ago with personal vernacular in Genesis
1:28.
Second,
the 1774 Continental Congress, in 1776 declared the above authority, also
expressed by Agathon 2,500 years ago in his speech in Plato’s “Symposium” and I
guess by other thinkers. They rebuked John Locke’s claim that as a property of
the-God, a human-being cannot be governed.
Negotiating
with France to join the USA war against England, the 13 colonies suffered the
freedom that England extoled and the liberty France imposed, yet won
independence as global states. (Today, we, the “ourselves and our Posterity” of
the U.S. can& may change the name of the statue in NY Harbor to “The Statue
of Independence”.)
Third,
Shays’ rebellion demonstrated that the free& independent states were not
independent of domestic tyranny, so 12 states sent delegates to 1787
Philadelphia to strengthen states unity. The 55 delegates surveyed Western
political philosophy and specified a republic with 5 domestic disciplines “in
order to” practice, facilitate, and encourage RHI to “ourselves and our Posterity” including
legal immigrants who earn citizenship. For their reasons, 16 delegates did not
sign, so only 39 delegates proposed the 1787 U.S. Constitution. It promised the
states a republican form of government and contained provisions to prevent
democracy, well known a wrongful politics.
A
few Constitutional improvements are needed. The preamble can& may lose the
word “liberty” to “independence”. The First Amendment can& may be amended
so as to practice, facilitate, and encourage civic-integrity rather than
civil-religion. The Supreme Court can& may discover using
the-ineluctable-evidence rather than opine based on obsolete precedence.
“Ourselves and our Posterity” can& may require Congress and the Supreme
Court to uphold the 1787 Constitution, especially when conflicted by
Anglo-American English-precedent. Finally, tax and other favor to
philanthropists including churches can& may be terminated, because it
empowers legislation without representation.
Most
importantly, the license to vote or to serve in government can& may be
denied citizens who demonstrate opposition to the RHI or better that is
expressed in the 1787 Constitution and its preamble.
The
1787-intended U.S. republic is the best form of government, primarily because
it intends the continuum “ourselves and our Posterity” to continually amend the
law so as to approach necessity& justice.
Updated
this afternoon for clarity.
To Alice:
RHI, responsible-human-independence, is not a political
party. It’s a way of living that can& may be developed by a society, a
nation, a civilization, or humankind itself.
It’s predicated on 5 principals.
First, most mature human-beings want, during their
lives, to accomplish the-good. They discover that neither the-God nor
government can usurp their opportunity to develop the required civic-integrity.
In self-interest to the-good, they adopt RHI, a practice by civic-citizens.
Second, there will always be persons who prefer a
dependency, such as indolence, crime, or tyranny. Therefore, the civic-citizens
must earn enough to fund their lifestyle, civil infrastructure, and the justice
system required to constrain dependents and facilitate their reform.
Third, while 3 documents, namely, Genesis 1, the 1776
declaration of war against England, and the 1787 U.S. Constitution propose an
RHI-culture, one has never been initiated. The 1789 Congress reinstated
Anglo-American tradition as Blackstone legal precedent and factional-American
Protestant-Christianity, now fading.
Fourth, we, the “ourselves and our Posterity” of 2022
can reform to 1787 U.S. intentions by educating the nation’s youth to develop
themselves as human-beings. The human-being can& may develop body, mind,
and person, in order to approach unique perfection before death. The mature
person has humility, humor, appreciation, intentions, and accomplishments.
Fifth, parents can require Education Departments to
practice, facilitate, and encourage children ages 3-7 to comprehend the power
of being a human-being; ages 8-13 to comprehend the power of monogamy for life
in families with female& male spouse and 4 pairs of grandparents; ages
13-21 to acquire the comprehension& intention to live a complete human
life; and ages 22-30 that career is a vehicle for earning the opportunity to
develop their person.
It’s shocking that such reform is needed in 2022. However,
the U.S. debt of $ 30.2 trillion is $7.5 million to each 2022 newborn. It’s
astounding that today’s adults accommodate ruination of their children’s
future.
I am glad RHI is proposed in 2022, as suggested 5,500 years
ago. Starting the U.S. reform will disclose how quickly it can be accomplished.
The light of reform to civic-integrity will excite now dependent U.S. citizens
to change. The tyrants in Congress, the Supreme Court, the administration, the
regulators, and the media may either reform or seek new employment. One of the
keys to RHI is that it accepts that there will always be sloth, crime, and
tyranny, and that they can& may be constrained by a civic-people.
quora.com/What-constitutes-something-as-wrong? by Vexin Dude
Factual reality conforms to the laws of physics&
progeny, including mathematics, chemistry, biology, psychology, imagination,
and everything else.
Statistical anomalies do not change
the laws. The human-being is the only species that can& may choose to
conform to the laws of physics. To attempt to defy physics is wrong.
For example, the person who claims
they witness for Jesus yet do not practice Genesis 1:28 are wrong. Jesus
claimed “Before Abraham I am”, which implies he endorses or authors the
suggestion that humankind can& may provide order and prosperity to the
lesser species and to the earth.

I am ever grateful to you, Mr. Radićh, for introducing me to
this poem at this time, age 78 rather than perhaps 48, when I first read “The
Prophet”. I express gratitude on my “appreciations” post at
promotethepreamble.blogspot.com.
To your question, I quote the
poem, “Ay, in the grove of the temple and in the shadow of the citadel I have
seen the freest among you wear their freedom as a yoke and a handcuff” and
answer you that Gibran expresses freedom as voluntary enslavement.
I think he expresses and you rhetorically
suggest that accepting external constraints and releasing internal wishes
restores the “fettered” independence a human-infant received.
Gibran completes his thought in “.
. . your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater
freedom”, yet leaves the “greater” mystery.
I think Gibran is suggesting what
I call responsible-human-independence (RHI), which is constrained only by
physics& its-progeny, including mathematics, chemistry, biology,
psychology, imagination, and everything else. In RHI, the civic-citizen chooses
to earn their way of living plus taxes for infrastructures including the system
to maintain statutory justice in necessity.
Furthermore, “truth” is no mystery
when the intention is to discover the-ineluctable-truth. Ineluctable means “not
to be avoided, changed, or resisted”, merriam-webster. com. My Sunday-school
class, Nomads, is studying light, and I will mention your focus and a Gibran
quote to them.
quora.com/How-is-individual-identity-shaped-by-collective-knowledge-1? by Peter Coultas
Humankind knows that they can& may independently
constrain chaos on earth. Some people develop the self-interest to live that
way. Others choose indolence, crime, tyranny and worse. As a person behaves
they may become subject to constraint based on the collective awareness of
personal-choice.
quora.com/What-is-an-example-of-organized-irrationalism-as-in-this-quote-from-Stephan-Jay-Gould-Skepticism-is-the-agent-of-reason-against-organized-irrationalism-and-is-therefore-one-of-the-keys-to-human-social-and-civic? by Barbara Young Capalbo
I wish I knew what Gould meant by “civic decency”. I use
“civic” to mean mutual fidelity in human transactions& connections more
than observance of civil rules.
Also, I don’t know “organized irrationalism”. Perhaps it
means systematically thinking negatively to imagine a positive argument.
Take for example the case of the New York AG pursuing Donald
Trump’s real estate loan applications and tax filings. During my first decision
to vote for Trump (I was one of the 14 million who made it possible for the
U.S. to elect him President) I was impressed that he unabashedly claimed he is
an expert at legally using the corrupt system and asked whose better to clean
it up? I think he delivered.
The hot news this week is that he and his children will be
called into court to answer how they arrived at high values for loan
applications and low values for tax reporting.
In my organized irrationalism, the corrupt system is on
trial. The Trumps will be exposing a corrupt government that supports celebrity
entrepreneurs in picking the people’s pockets and corrupt lenders who support
celebrities in picking the people’s pockets. Civic-citizens can cheer for
guilty lending and taxing officials to be discovered and prosecuted.
Already, by choosing a conservative-Christian running mate (much
to my chagrin even in the primaries), Trump exposed Christianity’s corruption.
A Sumerian suggestion reported in Genesis 1:28 --- human-being can& may
constrain chaos on earth seems attributed to Jesus on the report that he said
“Before Abraham was born I am”. Also, Jesus suggested aiding the civil command.
No human-being can witness for Jesus, much as they may claim
to. Pence refused the U.S. Commander-in-Chief on January 6, 2021, after
discounting Jesus’s opinion as to presence in Pence’s heart, on January 4,
2021. Under human social decency, Pence would do well to retire from the U.S.
political scene.
The corruption of the Trump/Pence ticket has soured my will
to vote for Trump a fifth time. I hope he rekindles my consideration but doubt
he can. (I know he was a playboy. However, if society cannot allow a person to
mature, there is no hope for even one of us.)
quora.com/Do-you-agree-with-the-statement-that-only-an-intelligent-being-can-be-truly-free?
by Ivan Lara
No. Every human being is constrained by physics& its
progeny. Further, sloth, crime, and tyranny constrain humankind.
However, each human being can& may constrain chaos in
their way of living. For example, civic-citizens manage economic constraints by
earning enough to pay their way of living plus the cost of infrastructure
including legal systems to pursue necessity& justice in constraining sloth,
crime, and tyranny. Here, “civic” implies fidelity in human connections&
transactions more than adherence to civil rules.
The society that practices, facilitates, and encourages
these principles promotes responsible-human-independence (RHI), fully aware that
neither the-God nor government can impose freedom when each person can& may
choose RHI.
quora.com/Is-being-a-smart-aleck-or-talking-back-to-your-parents-a-part-of-your-freedom-of-speech?
by William Smith
Mr. Smith, I express gratitude for your question in the
“appreciations” post at promotetheperamble.blogspot.com.
Not to attack society, rather to propose an achievable
better future, the civil notion of “obedience” to elders rather than civic
collaboration with youth is at the heart of your concern.
There are several points to consider, 4 directly pertinent:
First, while a
foal can become a thoroughbred in 3 years, it takes a newborn person a quarter
century to acquire the comprehension& intention to develop a human-being
and couple more quarter centuries to develop psychological maturity.
Second, leaving
the theism out to emphasize necessity& justice, Kahil Gibran expresses in
“On Children” that we can try to mimic them: however, the march of time will
not allow us to force them to be like us.
Third, the
civic-citizens neither initiates nor accommodates harm/injury to-or-from any
person or association. The adult who fails to do all they can do for a child
accommodates harm.
Fourth, a civic
culture practices, facilitates, and encourages personal intentions&
accomplishments to the-good and toward perfection of each unique human-being.
Thus, parents who consider their infant a person whom they
created/adopted and with whom to initiate the development of a human being find
it a self-interested pleasure to consider the child’s every concern and respond
with the world’s best aid.
On another note, many parents are at a disadvantage, because
they are not yet psychologically mature. That’s why grandparents (perhaps 4)
and great-grandparents (perhaps 8) are so essential to family.
As time marches on, the current working-adult’s skills are
already obsolete. The 2022 chaos may make that clear to society and motivate
reform for the next 10,000 year-era --- a reset larger in vision than racism,
gender technology, over population, biological warfare, domestic tyranny, and
invasion.
quora.com/Why-is-there-a-need-to-involve-ourselves-with-community-action?
by Erica Agbay
I suspect by “community action” you mean Alinsky-Marxist
organizers’ (AMO) public disruptions. They’re to be avoided like COVID19.
There’s no need to be an AMO soldier.
Necessity& justice demand that the human individual
constrain chaos in their way of living. Otherwise, they forfeit their one-time
opportunity, power, energy, and authority to discover& develop their
person’s intentions& achievements.
I know of no culture that teaches these principles to their
youth. However, the 1787 U.S. Constitution proffers such a nation. It is
amendable by the people and its purpose is 5 domestic disciplines “in order to”
establish and maintain responsible-human-independence (RHI) “to ourselves and
our Posterity” including legal immigrants.
There are no standards for the 5 disciplines --- integrity,
justice, peace, strength, and prosperity; successive generations are empowered
to improve the law when injustice is discovered. Religion, such as AMO
justifications for civic-violence is not included in the disciplines.
Only civic-citizens can reform the accommodation of tyranny
that the U.S. has suffered since Congress was seated in 1789 and began the
process of re-establishing English precedent in both the law and by imposing
civil religion.
The citizen has duty to self to be aware of their role in
government: voting in their best interest.

quora.com/What-is-the-explanation-of-this-statement-Journalism-does-not-pursue-truth-in-an-absolute-or-philosophical-sense-but-it-can-and-must-pursue-in-a-practical-sense?
by Mystique Cover
I don’t understand your “truth”. Yet I want to present a
statement regarding the practical can& may.
Necessity& justice demand that human-being discover how
to constrain chaos on earth. As inhabitance swells, proportional mistakes cost
more lives. Consequently, it is important not to repeat political mistakes.
The journal of discovery is somewhat recorded by
accomplishments.
Inclusive research literature adequately records discovery
of the-ineluctable-evidence in physics& and its progeny --- mathematics,
chemistry, biology, psychology, etc. Ineluctable means “not to be avoided,
changed, or resisted”, merriam-webster. com.
But political history is lacking. The end of the last ice
age marked the emergence of civilization, about 11,000 years ago. Sumer
developed laws recorded in cuneiform perhaps 5,500 years ago. Elite persons
were buried with their servants to assist elite souls. Nevertheless, their
political philosophers suggested that human-being can& may, independent of
the Gods, constrain chaos on earth (Genesis 1:28). About 3,700 years
ago, Terah left Ur with son Abram (to be Abraham) to establish a God that would
accept animal sacrifice rather than human sacrifice. Abraham increased chaos,
spawning at least 4 cultures. About 2,000 years ago, a culture claimed one man
was sacrificed to atone for every believing soul. About 235 years ago, framers,
then signers of the U.S. Constitution proposed a republic with 5 domestic
disciplines, assigning soul-salvation to privacy. However, Congress, in 1791
restored factional-American-Protestantism --- soul salvation by the grace of
God in his son, Jesus. Perhaps 5 soul mysteries cover 70% of the world’s
population.
In 1861, America suffered a Civil War, because Christian
ministers in the south preached the evil of slave emancipation before God’s
plan for black-people’s salvation had played out. See encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/letter-from-robert-e-lee-to-mary-randolph-custis-lee-december-27-1856
and humanitiestexas.org/sites/default/files/page-attachment/Feller_Efforts%20to%20Compromise.pdf,
in both cases toward the end of the document. Can such civic folly be driven by
anything but fear for the mysterious soul? Was R.E. Lee dedicated to his
Protestant ministers at the expense of his family? He had 5 years during
Bleeding Kansas to sell everything and move to a non-slave state. Today’s U.S.
citizens are being subjected to Civil War talk by sensational writers for the
media.
History is unreliable, because ten witnesses to the same event produce ten
opinions. It is the journalist’s job to discover and publish the big picture,
such as this soul-mystery saga, so as to prevent catastrophic-error repetition.
Today’s writers for the media are aiding if not creating
divergent chaos.

by Ted Baiamonte
Necessity& justice make it plain that civic-integrity
requires responsible-human-independence (RHI). However, the U.S. government
imposes legislative and judicial religious freedom, bemusing the people from
RHI. No higher power can usurp the individual’s opportunity to constrain chaos
in their way of living. Consequently, after 231 years under Congress’s
factional-American Protestantism, morphed to the late Judeo-Christianity and
now trying Judeo-Catholicism in the Supreme Court.
We, the civic-people of the United States, whether Christian
or not, can end the Congressional freedom of religion by amending the First
Amendment so as to protect civic-integrity rather than civil-religion.

by Sara Alsh
Without doubt, I assert that income sufficient to support
responsible-human-independence in civic-integrity, in order to pursue the
responsible-happiness you perceive and pay taxes-due is conservatism at its
best.
It takes the human-being a quarter century of intentional
learning to acquire the comprehension& intention to choose a starting
career during which they may practice, facilitate, and encourage civic living
in self-interest. Errors hone intentions to constrain chaos in personal ways of
living and aid discovery of unique intentions to achieve.
During a couple service quarter centuries, changing careers
so as to fulfill chosen intentions might be expected. The service years are for
self-discovery rather than to build wealth.
The last quarter century is for facilitating and encouraging human-beings.

I think I see a central flaw in Romano's
experiences& observations: "People who label you as the problem for
bringing awareness to a problem, who are unwilling to address the problem will
NEVER be able to clear the problems."
Maybe Winston Churchill really said: never; never; never give up on a fellow-citizen
of the world.
Fellow-citizens have unique genes, memes,
preferences, intentions, and accomplishments. Civic-citizens mutually
appreciate as each is and where each is on their path to the-good.
One may try, but cannot advise the other
to accelerate their progress or revise their direction. They can only express
their thoughts without requirement that the other assess them. The other cannot
assess a thought they do not have.
Romano seems to think "STUCK in
