ABILITY to REASON, RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 20

Most likely to be published sometime in 2018, my 10th book currently entitled; 100 Proems & Poems on the ABILITY to REASON, RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing...

PROEM & POEM No. 20 - Conjured Lists / 1st Reprise

      Alexander Hamilton, as one among United States’ founding cronies (I mean fathers) and constitutional schemers (I mean framers) in Philadelphia during the summer of 1787, additionally and rightly the father of American central banking, a title justifiably envied by any would-be tyrant or master thief, however quite spot on most surprisingly yet logically thus causally and effectually therefore prophetically when he penned the article Federalist No. 84 under the pseudonym Publius. In today’s propagandized, Roman mob-like culture, his critique of any bill of rights and counter-intuitive (to most) conclusion would be held as controversial, perhaps offensive thus banned from public or (alleged) intellectual forums such as college campuses by riot, vandalism, assault and general violence. Fitly, near end of his provocatively insightful essay he pronounced, “I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and in the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed constitution, but would even be dangerous.”

Dangerous? Absolutely! For such a document of enumerated protections like the U.S. Bill of Rights of 1792, allows even ensures covert as well overt trampling by government upon every aspect of life not mentioned. To say “Not so!” is to ignore United States’ entire history that affirms the boundless disrespect and disregard for the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent.

O Publius, thy sole pearl, `twas cast among fellow swine

Then, since and hereafter, hence truth and logic benign

Democracy’s myths animate, polity’s lies stimulate

As citizenry abdicate, adulate and dutifully masturbate

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
