HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 66

Most likely to be published early 2018, my 10th book currently entitled; 100 Proems & Poems on the HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover below merely a working version....

PROEM & POEM No. 66 - Individualism versus Constitutionalism / 5th Reprise

      There should be no confusion, while a social, political system is ethical solely by unanimous consent, its sustainability is quite another matter. To say differently, if a social, political arrangement proves to be unsustainable in the short or long term, it remains ethical as so long each and every individual consents. Comparable to individual(s) choosing self-destructive even suicidal actions, there is no ethical dilemma, rather a question of perceived benefits versus detriments. With that said, some writers (i.e. Henry Hazlitt as one) have rightly pointed out the moral consideration raised when any action or arrangement consistently proves detrimental to property, liberty and life itself. Although, however harmful or horrific, as long unanimous consent persists, so be it.

      Unsurprisingly, there has yet been a modern governmental union of any sort, when on the decline economically allow dissenting parties, factions, groups or individuals to secede or depart without taxational, judicial and forceful (police/military) retaliation. The empire United States, as one example, formed with the appearance of consent by the people thus voluntary admission to the political union, only to later disallow violently those dissenting thus desiring to leave or separate. In such dire scenarios, seemingly a mere remnant will discern the disrespect and disregard for the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent, fewer still foresee mid the early stages of the digression.

To live by another’s leave, forced to cleave, later to bereave
Assailing agitprop as prevailing backdrop so cleverly weaved
To breathe the toxicity `tween the complicity and duplicity
Inflating the whimsy as fancied infinity till end of the elasticity

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
