"Why?" A human construct?

 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

Reviewing “why?”

I had not reconsidered “Why does anything exist instead of nothing”, which in the early 1990s I had thought was from G. Leibniz (d. 1716). I concluded it was not a valid question for the human condition: it's better to accept, consider, and act in self-interest for the-good. My study this week brought me to plato.stanford.edu/entries/nothingness/, 2003, rev. 2022. It seems full of great information, far beyond “why?”. I am in the middle study and invite readers to join.

Also, I like the idea that G. Bernard Shaw in 1913 affiliated with Jesus as non-religious. It fits well with Jesus an advocate of Genesis 1:28: human-being can& may independently provide peace on earth.

Tucker Carlson, intentionally or not, sustains whatever “democracy” means to overthrow the U.S. republic. See each msn.com/en-us/video/entertainment/tucker-everyone-is-lying/vi-AAVl0tT and bing.com/videos/search?q=Tucker+Carlson+defines+democracy&docid=608034337067243251&mid=2901E0EF4F49267609422901E0EF4F4926760942&view=detail&FORM=VIRE and defconnews.com/2022/02/03/commentary-tucker-carlson-reveals-what-every-powerful-person-in-us-is-talking-about-dismantles-them-in-12-minutes/

Merriam-webster Online opines that “democracy” means “government by the people, especially rule of the majority”. Celebrities brutalize the U.S. by not accepting that it is a republic with organizational features to prevent democracy. Too busy “living the life they want”, most fellow-citizens wonder what the celebrity means by “democracy”.

I like Tucker Carlson, and encourage him to reform his use of “democracy”. It seems contrived-to the segment’s argument. Democracy promotes chaos: persons need order.

In the first clip cited above, Carlson said “pluralism is a hallmark” then equivocated it as mythically-limitless freedom-of-speech in the U.S. The American civic-citizen has always been repressed by the elected regime. And civic-citizens fund both their way of living and the development of statutory-justice to constrain dependents, whether they be lazy, criminal, tyrannical, or evil.

In the second clip, he opposes election-by-majority-vote rather than-demonstrated-leadership as the vehicle to power; specifically, he addresses the Democrats’ violence that losing-an-election equals the-end-of-democracy. Why doesn’t Carlson state that the U.S. is a constitutional republic?

In the third clip, he erroneously said ““When the government does what its citizens want it to do, you have a democracy.” Current citizens defy economics by burdening their descendants with national debt. Also, Carlson weighs popular domestic-wants versus what the regime seeks. Egregiously, at the end of the segment, he promotes Christianity, which is its own democratic tyranny; there are about 45,000 Christian sects. Consider the Civil War: In 1856, a faction holding erroneous Christian opinion reigned terror in Bloody Kansas then in 1861 the CSA attacked the USA. The CSA secession-declaration justifies war-remedy on “more erroneous religious beliefs”. In today’s obfuscation, some Christians, North and South, agree it was about slavery.  [I did not seek to raise the Christian topic, but fervent-Carlson didn’t resist.] Only when the citizens want to conform to the-laws-of-physics does the 1787 U.S. Constitution support their cause.

The 1787 U.S. Constitution proffers a nation predicated on fellow-citizens working toward what neither government nor a God can do: provide order& prosperity in domestic living. It proffers 5 practices: integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity. It is without religion. It sets no standards, leaving it to “our Posterity”, descendants and legal immigrants, to gradually develop responsible-human-independence (RHI). Under the 1787 intentions, every civic-citizen can& may take the opportunity to responsibly pursue the happiness they want rather than submit to someone else’s vision for them.

Responsibility requires conformity to the laws of physics rather than the dictates of George Soros or a pope. For example, a human-being cannot fly like a bird, and a God can inspire but cannot& will-not provide peace on earth.

The 1787 Constitution proffered and we, the civic-citizens among We the People of the United States, can& may establish an achievable better future in the USA. The first step is to amend the Bill of Rights so as to practice, facilitate, and encourage civic-integrity rather than civil-religion.

I invite Tucker Carlson to explore these ideas on his show.

Quora

quora.com/Is-civil-disobedience-justifiable-If-yes-under-what-circumstances? by COLLINS ENEH

I think civil disobedience is practicable, provided the disobedient-individual is committed to accept the consequences. However, I cannot imagine myself in jail or dead for any cause. I want personal opportunity to develop civic-integrity.

In a civic-culture a few principles are observed by individual choice.

First, neither the-God nor government can usurp the human-being responsibility for order& prosperity to the lesser species& to the earth. The individual can& may constrain chaos in their way of living.

Second, the civic-citizen neither initiates nor accommodates harm/injury to or from any person or association. The “accommodates” portion of this principle invokes difficult questions. For example, should a citizen pay taxes when the government is corrupt? Should a citizen accommodate public disruption for a cause? Violence for a cause?

Third, the individual can& may accept the constraints that physics& its-progeny impose on them. The progeny includes mathematics, biology, psychology, imagination, economics, and military power. Only with sufficient military power can a government be overthrown, so the combination 1) paying taxes while 2) voicing opposition to tyranny and proposing adequate remedy seems prudent to the individual. For example, I write almost daily to persuade the 2022 “ourselves and our Posterity” to amend the U.S. First Amendment, so as to practice, facilitate, and encourage civic-integrity rather than civil-religion.

Fourth, a civic-nation operates on statutory law. The individual who objects to a law can& may study the law, contemplate suffering disobedience-consequences, and choose to disobey. The civil-disobedient person need not be totally correct to effect change. For example, Martin Luther King, Jr. wanted racial neutrality as factual reality plus check cashing to descendants of slaves. Necessity& justice demand the first objective, but not the second, unless the checks came from Africa, the Middle East, and Europe to the U.S. The U.S. is the 1774 cradle of relief from papal bulls of 1455 and 1493 “authorizing” African slave trade to the Americas.

AMO: Since the King assassination in 1968, there has emerged, perhaps from liberation theology, Marxist organizations inspired by Saul Alinsky (d. 1972) --- Alinsky-Marxist organizations. The leaders recruit soldiers to effect civil disobedience – property damage both public and personal, random injury, and public-murder. Being an AMO soldier should be avoided. To often it is an assumed license to let fellow-citizens’ blood for the sake of fellowship and solidarity the soldier did not accept in the emotional, recruiting moment and regrets in their suffering.

Note: In my opinion, initiating physical violence is never justifiable. Referring to my first principle, above, the civic-citizen pays for the necessity& justice regarding fellow-citizens who can but do not constrain chaos in their way of living: sloths, criminals, tyrants, and evil people. However, violence begets results that may be self-defeating. The problem is that necessity can prevent justice.

In a republic, in particular, in representative government under constitutional law, absolute democracy cannot be allowed, because it increases rather than constrains chaos. This concern is acute when aliens& enemies can vote. Furthermore, existence as a person does not justify the right to vote in elections of government representatives. Only adult civic-citizens – those who comprehend, intend, and aid the nation’s purpose should be licensed to vote. Even with this constraint, effecting necessity& justice in law-enforcement is difficult.

Women’s suffrage is a case in point. It became an organized movement in 1840. Violence was introduced in Great Briton then practiced in the U.S. The specter of women in jail starving themselves to death broke the government’s will, and the civic-citizens were loath to take responsibility. Since then, chaos over “the right to vote” has accelerated, and in 2022, it seems violence prevails over elections.

The 1787 U.S. Constitution has 2 novel features. First, it stipulates procedures by which civic-citizens may amend the Constitution. It requires a 3 out of 4 supermajority of citizens and states to effect change. Second, the abstract preamble lists domestic disciplines – integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, “in order to” practice, facilitate, and encourage responsible-human-independence (RHI) “to ourselves and our Posterity” including legal immigrants. Citizens, aliens, and enemies who oppose these principles ought not be licensed to vote in the U.S.

With self-interest in responsible-human-independence (RHI), I think civil disobedience invites chaos and therefore should be avoided. I want to keep on paying taxes and write to persuade fellow-citizens to aid necessity& justice.

I think the only defensible human right is the opportunity to develop the civic-integrity that is required for responsible-human-independence (RHI).

quora.com/How-would-you-go-about-enforcing-an-unspoken-rule-versus-a-rule-that-was-explicitly-stated? by Laura Ann

You ask a thoughtful question, about rules rather than laws or civic behavior. Simply put, rules can& may be broken without contention.

The civic-citizen, in self-interest, neither initiates nor accommodates harm to or from any person. Their first action when they perceive another party intends harm is to caution, listen-to them, and either apologize or seek third-party arbitration. Every person who chooses to be a human-being discovers and adopts these principles (or better) for constraining chaos in their way of living. But not every person chooses to be a human-being.

When offenses are major, statutory law constrains harm/injury. Police and the military enforce statutory law and the courts seek justice. Necessity& justice demand civic-citizens minimize the expensive judicial system. 

Civic mischief is tolerated as long as there is no physical harm or injury. For example, breaking the queue to enter a concert is rude but does not cause harm sufficient to justify law.

Societies have rules and coerce cooperation by purging members who do not observe the rules. Some societies have rules intended to influence with neither coercion nor force. An example is the Golden Rule.

It is flawed, because some people do not want to be treated as others want to treat them. For example, a Buddhist does not want to be treated as a Christian. A person who chooses dependency does not want to be treated as an independent. A person who wants to develop the practical living that Jesus expressed and practice civic-citizenship in the U.S. may not want to be treated as a Christian, in particular a Protestant/Catholic, in particular a member of a given sect.

The church that excludes a Jesus advocate assumes Jesus would exclude that person and may be in error. I am not the first to consider that religion hides the practical Jesus. In 1913 G. Bernard Shaw thought Jesus was not religious and in 1838, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that Jesus was a man who literally meant “be perfect”.

The saying “rules are meant to be broken” seems wise, and acceptance that a rule breaker may have acted in necessity& justice seems prudent. When justice demands legislation, law issues and may eventually rise to necessity.

One U.S. law that needs amendment is the First Amendment. Its religion clauses can& may be replaced with practice, facilitation, and encouragement to civic-integrity rather than civil-religion.

facebook.com/phil.beaver.52, March 16, 2022 additional comment, but my original post seemed to disappear from Facebook. I’ll check again.

I think my past, being called a heretic by various fellow citizens, sheds a novel light on the-why of a debate. I was deemed a heretic by more than one mere fellow-citizen.

For example, in the early 1990s, I was asked to contribute to the formation of a new Bible class for 40-50 year-old men. The leader proposed to establish basic beliefs before embarking on the 40-year rotation of Bible-canon-coverage. We were to answer individually a series of questions. I perceive that the-God-I-can&-may-follow knows my thoughts: I do not intentionally lie.

When the leader asked: why did Jesus die on the cross?, answers before mine were alike: to redeem me of sin. I answered, “I don’t know. I think God could have handled Pontius Pilot freeing Jesus rather than Barabbas”. The class was silent. (Since then I learned that there are scholarly doubts about the historicity of Jesus’s trials, first before the Jewish Rabbis; see tektonics.org/gk/jesustrial.php.)

Soon, the class had a new leader. Nevertheless, not long after that I concluded I needed to seek more-nurturing fellowship (“Like-minded”? I don’t think so. Like-hearted? Maybe.). After another half-decade, I accept that I am not elect – not antinomian, and express that acceptance to fellow-citizens who listen to my story.

Today, I find empathy, sympathy, and civic-integrity in some one-on-one conversations, but not so much in study-groups, so far. It seems a study-group seeks parochial-like-mindedness, which I think closes the door to both discovery and to the larger potential-society: psychologically-human being.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, from my early-life as a reader, inspired self-reliance, especially in “Self-Reliance”. In my early 1950s, I first read his American-underground essay, “Divinity School Address”. Protestant-indoctrinated, it took me 2 decades to grasp:  Emerson attested to Jesus as a man. I can now add Jesus, a man with unusual insights to Bible interpretation, thanks to Aaron Biggers, a believer. Also, after John Parks’ quote and my study, I am aware that G. Bernard Shaw, in 1913, affiliated with Jesus as a non-religious man.

Agathon, in Plato’s “Symposium”, also expresses insights not unlike those by Jesus: appreciation’s greatest power is that it accommodates no wrong to-or-from any person. Ancients to the Greeks, perhaps Sumerians, suggested in Genesis 1: 28 that human-being can& may independently constrain chaos on earth. The New Testament suggests that Jesus understood Genesis 1. For all I know, Jesus authored Genesis 1 and is the-God. I do not need to ask why? in order to practice Genesis 1:28.

I read, write, and listen, in order to promote Genesis 1:28 and the 1787 U.S. Constitution, both of which encourage the civic-integrity that is required for RHI. I perceive affiliation with Jesus and accept that some fellow-citizens disagree, without pondering their-why: I consider it private to them unless they kindly share their thoughts. Nevertheless, I continually pursue improvement of my intentions and therefore attend groups who allow my expressions. (Tolerate? No. No person holds the higher ground from which to tolerate a fellow, psychologically-human being, IMO.)

Civic-citizens (including Supreme Court Justices) can& may follow an essential case in Louisiana: see msn.com/en-us/news/us/la-state-supreme-court-says-deray-mckesson-can-be-sued-for-2016-protest/ar-AAVv4CC? .

At stake is necessity& justice when either AMO (Alinsky-Marxist organizations) or other leaders (e.g. police departments) motivate agents who may cause harm in the passions of public demonstrations. This is the AMO case, and Capital Police tear-gassing January-6-citizens to-stampede is the other case I cite.

Civic-citizens pay the costs of both law-enforcement and the development of statutory-justice. Statutory-justice can only be established by repetitive consideration of ineluctable-evidence. Ineluctable means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. Repeated discovery of the-ineluctable-evidence approaches the-ineluctable-truth.

So far, U.S. supreme-justices have hidden the-ineluctable-truth from fellow citizens by arguing legal precedent rather than ineluctable-evidence. This case is another of their many opportunities to reform to civic-citizenship rather than “divine” Anglo-American tradition.

Fellow citizens divide themselves on responsible-human-independence (RHI), some choosing dependencies such as indolence, crime, tyranny, and evil, and the others working to constrain chaos in their way of living. Civic-citizens practice, facilitate, and encourage the civic-integrity that empowers RHI. Dependent citizens who discover civic-integrity reform and are grateful to whatever drew their attention to the opportunity to develop RHI.

Justices are authorized under both Genesis 1:28 and the 1787 U.S. Constitution and are not exempt from the discovery of both civic-integrity and RHI.

facebook.com/phil.beaver.52, March 25, 2022

I promote the 1787 U.S. Constitution’s intentions. I think its purpose is at least 2/3 of citizens practicing, facilitating, and encouraging the civic-integrity required for responsible-human-independence (RHI). It is a long-range goal, now only 235 years old and repressed by the 1791 Bill of Rights. Something, I think physics, constrains the-consequences of each person’s choices& actions. Metaphysicians seek the-good; many attribute human-constraints to mystery, some to chaos, and a few to the-laws-of-physics. The individual has both personal-experiences and observations-of-fellow-humans as teachers. Human observations extend to the earliest known discoveries, tens-if-not-hundreds-of-thousands years-old. I think Albert Einstein asserted that the-laws-of-physics control integrity. He wrote, “Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience.” I don’t think “truth” is adequate; I discovered the phrase “the-ineluctable-truth” as a more accurate& precise expression for factual reality. Ineluctable means “not to be avoided, changed or resisted”. The hyphens invite persons to keep the expression whole for a given issue: “the” one and only ineluctable-truth. I think Einstein was saying that physics& metaphysics pursue the-ineluctable-truth, the process first using the-ineluctable-evidence and the second using "the test of experience". Human-beings each have the potential, the power, the energy, and the authority to choose integrity for life. Each may not know the-laws-of-physics, yet they observe the consequences errant fellow-humans face, and that helps perceive the-good. The person who does not observe a tsunami-warning drowns. The infidel loses spouse and family. Some habitual red-light runners cause horrendous accident and therefore suffer incarceration or worse. The indolent suffer hunger. The devout suffer doctrinal error. The arrogant suffer what they create. Philosophers study why some humans choose integrity; plato.stanford.edu/entries/nothingness/. In Sumer, the first recorded civilization, kings used a-nature’s-Gods-polytheism to motive 4 classes of people to master the-laws-of-physics. The civic-citizens constrained dependents, whether the dependency was laziness, crime, tyranny, or evil: eye for eye& life for life. Together, they invented the wheel, writing (cuneiform), codes of law, irrigation, and many other firsts among homo sapiens. Their civilizations emerged perhaps 10,000 years ago -- then, the advanced edge of 300,000 years homo sapiens development. Unawareness of iron for weapons and accumulation of salt in the soil contributed to their downfall. Sumerian descendants are now dispersed, excepting perhaps the Marsh Arabs of southern Iraq, pale complexion with dark hair and many eye colors. These 5,500 years later, we can& may accept that integrity-to the-laws-of-physics constrains chaos in personal ways of living. We may choose to practice, facilitate, and encourage civic-integrity while allowing the infidelity-mystery pursue its own course. It’s now some 300,000 years old among homo sapiens and perhaps 3 million to 7 million years old among human-beings. That is to say, the individual’s opportunity to observe& benefit-from the-laws-of-physics entails first 25 years (a quarter century) to acquire comprehension& intention to be a human-being, then a couple quarter centuries to practice civic-integrity, then retirement to share lessons learned before dying; in all, perhaps a brief window in 85 years during which to choose integrity-to the-good and RHI. At best, we may perfect our unique person so our grandchildren might have an achievable better future rather than, in 2022, $7.5 million in national debt to each newborn/year. There’s no time in a life to perfect homo sapiens; unique-self? yes; another person? no. What's critical to each individual is to practice, facilitate, and encourage the civic-integrity that is required to discover, accept, and adopt RHI.

Comment:

In necessity& justice, each living generation has no time to impose the eternal questions grounded in reason rather than address the-ineluctable-evidence (physics). For example, should people reason that civic-integrity is impossible and therefore lie? Can human-being avoid repeating past error? Can human-being adopt RHI? We can& may accept that some don’t and promote civic-integrity to those who do.

The opportunity to develop responsible-human-independence (RHI) has been evident since the Sumerians developed their law codes, starting perhaps 5,500 years ago. Since then, many cultures have attempted to construct a God that will usurp RHI. The human individual is too God-like to yield the-good they perceive, no matter how dependent they may be. For example, a despot depends on the people they manipulate.

The U.S., in 1787, created a republic with the provisions to develop RHI. It’s predicated on 5 domestic disciplines that exclude religion: integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity.  But the states ratification process and the first Congress imposed Congressional freedom of religion and codified it in the 1791 Bill of Rights. Also, they suppressed RHI by propagandizing freedom-from oppression& license to liberty, bestowed by the winner in war.

We, the 2022 “ourselves and our Posterity” can& may establish the RHI that was suggested by scholars who reported the Sumerian political philosophy. See Genesis 1:28. It suggests that the-God maintains creation and leaves-to human-being responsibility to provide order& prosperity to the lesser species and to the earth: Divergent chaos in 2022 renders evidence the-God will not& cannot usurp the human-being duty to constrain chaos on earth.

I forgot the name; something about smart. I'm serious.

Talk about ineluctable evidence that raccoons are aware of their capabilities and have the intelligence to adapt to new surroundings! ("Ineluctable" is a strategically hidden word that means "not to be avoided, changed, or resisted".)

There's ineluctable evidence that the individual human-being has the opportunity, power, energy, and authority to choose to constrain chaos in their way of living. Among the extant species, that is nothing short of amazing. We can recognize independent fellow citizens by their serene confidence in the-good.

In my opinion, if judges, lawyers, and the media let the strategic word, "ineluctable" out of its cage, people might start debating the-ineluctable-truth and ruin chances for Bidden-lies, Barr-lies, Pelosi-lies, "science"-lies, election-lies, and NYT-lies.

We can make 2022 the year "ineluctable" came out. It has been around in English-translation since 1570. Someone introduced "ineluctable truth" in 1906. It seems in England evidence is unavoidable and irresistible yet can be changed.

Fellow citizens who debate the-ineluctable-truth know they are mutually seeking responsible-human-independence (RHI) so each may pursue their personal perception of happiness with behavior for the-good. The politicians repress independence by bestowing freedom& liberty.

Survival in new circumstances is the objective. Beware the raccoon! If their brain evolves to start writing and develop grammar, they may take control of politics for the-good.

Civil disobedience seems imprudent in a constitutional republic (the USA), which is to say, not in self-interest under intended statutory justice. In this civic-culture, the individual voluntarily observes six principles.

First, neither the-God nor government can usurp the human-being responsibility for order& prosperity to the lesser species& to the earth. The individual can& may constrain chaos in their way of living and thereby aid collective order& prosperity. History shows some person choose chaos.

Second, the civic-citizen neither initiates nor accommodates harm/injury to or from any person or association. The “accommodates” principle invokes difficult questions. For example, should a citizen pay taxes when their government is corrupt? Should a citizen accommodate public disruption for a cause? Accommodate violence for a cause?

Third, the individual can& may accept the constraints that physics& its-progeny impose on them. The progeny includes mathematics, chemistry, psychology, imagination, economics, and military power. Only with sufficient military power can a government be overthrown, so the combination 1) paying taxes while 2) voicing opposition& proposing adequate remedy to tyranny seems prudent to the individual. For example, I happily write almost daily to persuade the 2022 “ourselves and our Posterity” to amend the U.S. Bill of Rights so as to practice, facilitate, and encourage civic-integrity rather than civil-religion. I think amendment will happen as soon as 2/3 of fellow citizens want civic-integrity.

Fourth, a civic-nation operates on statutory law. The individual who objects to a law can& may study the law, contemplate suffering consequences, and choose to disobey. The civil-disobedient person need not be totally correct to effect change. For example, Martin Luther King, Jr. spent jail time, because he wanted racial neutrality as factual reality plus check cashing to descendants of slaves. Necessity& justice demand the first objective, but not the second, unless checks to the U.S. general fund come from Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. The U.S. is the 1774 cradle of relief from papal bulls of 1455 and 1493 that arrogantly “authorized” Portugal then Spain to purchase, through Middle Easterner traders, African-captives to help colonize the Americas. Some other European countries said “me too” and shipbuilding in Liverpool gave England a competitive edge in the Atlantic Slave Trade.

Fifth, the civic-citizen funds the system that maintains necessity& justice regarding fellow-citizens who can but do not constrain chaos in their way of living: dependents such as sloths, criminals, tyrants, and evil people. If the civic-collective accommodates harm/injury, civic viability dissipates. In a republic, in particular, in representative government under constitutional law, social democracy cannot be allowed, because democracy increases rather than constrains chaos. This concern is acute when aliens& enemies can vote. Citizenship does not justify the license to vote to elect government representatives. Only adult civic-citizens who comprehend, intend, and aid the nation’s purpose should be licensed to vote. Even with this constraint, effecting necessity& justice in law-enforcement is difficult, because it is difficult for civic citizens to learn the facts. Citizens still don’t know that erroneous religious opinion of Christian ministers in the South caused the CSA to fire on Fort Sumter and start the U.S. Civil War.

Sixth, the 1787 U.S. Constitution has 2 novel features. First, it stipulates procedures by which civic-citizens may amend the Constitution. It requires a 3 out of 4 supermajority of citizens and 75% of states to effect amendment. Second, the abstract preamble lists domestic disciplines – integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, “in order to” practice, facilitate, and encourage responsible-human-independence (RHI) “to ourselves and our Posterity” including legal immigrants. These 2 provisions apply to female& male human beings regardless of religion, race, or other distinctions. Citizens, aliens, and enemies who oppose these principles ought not be allowed to vote in the U.S.

The intentions expressed in the 1787 U.S. Constitution conform to the first principle, above. Citizens divide themselves on the principle of constraining chaos in personal living. Accommodating violent demands for license to vote neglects these principles, ruining the possibility to maintain a republic.

I want to keep on paying taxes so I can write, speak, and listen to persuade fellow-citizens to aid necessity& justice.

Who is proud of that man's "championship"? Not his parents.

It's the entrepreneurs who took his money, the psychologists who founded the businesses, and the politicians who are expanding government: civil capitalism.

We, the 2022 "ourselves and our Posterity" can& may stop U.S. attempts to defy physics using reason and precedent.

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.
