The civic-world may and can celebrate US potential

 

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, safety, 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 month

The civic-world may and can celebrate US potential

At last, the civic-faction, We the People of the United States, is considering a presidential candidate who can cause Donald Trump to compete. I think we’ll get the chance to choose between Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy to be President in January 2025. Today, I have no idea which of them I hope to vote for and am relishing positive outcome. I think 80% of voters will take interest and someone might influence my choice.

The elephant on the stage is not Donald Trump:  It's the God-in-government mystery. The history we discern makes it plain that humankind may and can pursue order to life on earth and to their extensions beyond earth. Neither God nor government can usurp humankind's duty to themselves.

It takes 25 years for a fortunate infant to acquire the comprehension and intention to pursue human being (verb). It takes another 25 years for an aware and committed person to approach mature human practice. Almost no one approaches their unique perfection. Consequently, we have no idea how excellent each individual may and can be.

With extant education departments and traditions, it is almost impossible for a person to understand much less pursue human being. Consequently, many people die young, as we daily observe.

What's doubly tragic is that NASA intends to establish a colony on Mars or on the moon within my lifetime, yet the civic-faction, We the People of the United States do not urgently intend to restore and improve the responsible independence proffered in the 1787 U.S. Constitution.

The presidential candidate who can grasp my post may and can fulfill the opportunity Ramaswamy perceives.

Accepting the mystery of God, the individual is in charge of constraining chaos in their way of living. The 1787 framers of the U.S. Constitution abstractly expressed this actual reality. After 234 years, our generation has the opportunity -- the privilege, to effect civic integrity.

Wrong is made obvious when the consequences of a choice and action yields harm to or from anyone or anything. For example, if the hurricane center orders evacuation, and a person acts without preparation, they may lose anyway. If they stay without protection from wind, rain, and flash flooding, they may perish. If they depart expecting to buy gasoline, they may perish.

Past experiences and observations of consequences of choice, if recorded and considered enrich a person’s evaluation and choice to act or not. Evidence is the key, and without sufficient evidence, it is best to not act. Choosing to act on mystery usually brings harm.

Religion is based on mystery. For example, primitive people speculated that the Sun was a spirit. The moon was a different spirit. Appreciation was still another spirit, and sexual attraction yet another spirit. Polytheism became dominated by competitive monotheism. Each group’s God was the most powerful. Yet people presented their God-doctrine as though they had constructed the-God-of-Gods. Thereby, 2 parties discuss their God-doctrine without humility toward the-God-of-Gods, whatever it is.

I think physics and its progeny, or the power that constrains the consequences of human choice is the-God-of-Gods. However, I think I could be wrong. Nevertheless, I would never choose to act on mystery.

Federal regulation requires special-counsel (special-prosecutor) selection outside the U.S. government, so that the prosecutor is not an underling to the investigated office. The attorney general could choose an uncompromised law professor.

Federal regulations are not laws. Both houses of Congress passed the laws listed in the United States Code. The U.S. Constitution, under the civic-faction We the People of the United States, requires legislation that separates legislative, judicial, and executive powers. Executive agencies make regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations. Regulations intend to enforce the law.

Law gives attorneys-general broad discretion in how to use Department of Justice personnel. Attorneys-general may and can assign underlings, in order to reject the federal regulation -- conflict its law-enforcement role. The underling could become a whistle blower at great personal risk, since the attorney-general pays underlings'.

I think lawyers and judges are responsible for this civil duplicity -- tyranny. Only the civic-faction of inhabitants, the U.S. preamble’s We the People of the United States, can remedy civil tyranny. Fellow-citizens need this revolution: 2/3 of voters sincerely pursuing civic-integrity. “Civic” refers to responsible connections and transactions in personal civil living. Only reformed civic education can ordain and establish civil reform.

Neither government not a personal God will usurp each citizen's responsibility to self.

Does anyone think I am making sense? How can I improve the message and its impact?

I returned to my neighborhood Baptist church after 27 years' friendly absence, in order to advocate the-civic-Jesus -- the political philosopher who volunteers advice about how to be reliable in responsible human connections and transactions. For example, the advice in Matthew 19:3-8, NIV.

Now, over 2 years after my return, I'm beginning to think Matthew was mistaken in V 3's "to test him". I think the Moses'-lawyers, in their generation, were sincerely exploring improvement of Moses' law. Jesus obliged, and in civic-integrity we can comprehend and apply, in our time, statements Gospel writers attributed to Jesus in Israel and in Egypt.

This time at church, I made it clear that I am only a friend. Maybe that's why no one has called me a heretic. But then I can't tell that anyone is collaborating to discover the-civic-Jesus. It seems the majority prefers Christ and competitive monotheism. But maybe the idea of focusing on Jesus rather than church doctrine is just too new to them.

It seems 2023 is the best of times in this regard.

Google ngrams show that “ineluctable truth” was published in 1906 and usage slowly increases. Yet educators “protect” the public from the knowledge& power of "ineluctable". Resisting the-ineluctable-truth is an unfortunate, common practice.

During the next 50 years, the U.S. faction We the People of the United States may& can choose to retire the national debt “to ourselves and our Posterity”. With $32,700 billion debt, the pay back would be a manageable $650 billion/year, close to the current interest payments. Amortization at 2% interest per year would require $1040 billion/yr.

The U.S. funds its own debt by printing more money. Accumulating rather than paying debt devalues the dollar. The world is drawing the conclusion that the dollar is no longer reliable, so some nations are trading using their own currencies, or bit-coin, or gold. A nation cannot survive much less thrive without global trade.

Just as a family cannot accumulate debt without wealth a bank values, we the People of the United States cannot survive a dollar the world no longer values.

Citizens who hold so called progressive values may& can consider joining We the People of the United States, as defined in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution.

Vote for a presidential candidate who intends to create a positive trade balance, in order to pay off the national debt.
