Verses taken from my forthcoming 11th book...

Father, forgive thence forget, for often humanity resents
The whetstone your Divinity as well History represents
Besetting the haughty mind, renting the gluttonous heart
Tormenting the boldly depraved by Truth’s fierce darts

Startled as harts per Hunter of souls, Hound of Heaven
Thus shade of His Hand outstretched, dynamic deafened
Law invisible, ever indivisible, an ineludible principle
Politically despised, privately prized; Consent immemorial

Prerogatives headstrong against Presumptions prolonged
The former cyclically outdone by the latter’s plainsong
Till last sustainable rung then flung to ground the schemes
Victims’ dreams too, as such catastrophes usually teem

O the wailing and gnashing of teeth upon Pride’s fall
The inevitable crumbling of all Isms’ truculent kraals
Yet amid the prod-marked people rise the demi-saviors
As flesh revered thus propensity for covetous behavior

Would one trust such a person? Yet when it comes to Government...

What if a friend, relative or mate conducts much of his/her life in secrecy while expecting, demanding full transparency of you. What if the same friend, relative or mate conducts much if not all of his/her life unrestrained, unchecked, unaccounted while intruding, imposing even determining, enforcing conditions upon much of your life.

Would one trust such a person? Would one want such a person in their life? Would one want and trust such a person with their life? Would one not suspect, perhaps reject such a person as questionable, distrustful, unreliable as well insensitive, selfish, narcissistic even detrimental, harmful, dangerous and more?

Yet when it comes to Government, the same characteristics and behaviors are tolerated, supported, justified, desired, moralized, glorified and done so due to a logical inconsistency thus ethical depravity, psychotically unrecognized per a persisting disconnection, or maniacally ignored per an insisting covetousness.

The defense of oneself often arises fervently, urgently upon reading criticisms of this sort, immediately assuming the aforementioned applies to others; their personality, preference, persuasion, polity, party, politician, etc. If so, to the reader a suggestion; read and study Matthew 7:3-5 (KJV version below) then ponder over it... labor over it... followed by reading and studying Exodus 20: 17 (KJV version further below) then ponder over it... labor over it... till last breath.

"And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's."

Come let us Reason (Is 1:18). Peace is always a Choice (Mt 5:9).
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath (2 Tm 2:15 / Cl 3:23).

BILL of RIGHT

BILL of RIGHT

If such understanding forms and foments, then solely amid ceaseless study, ponder and labor, concluding first in part, later in whole, to logically respect then ethically regard, hence fervently declaring then firmly establishing in this manner.

The propensity, preference and persistence upon observable practice by Each and Every Individual since first reasoned the Specie Human and Peculiar above all other species, thus consistently inclining, constantly insisting the Singular Right to Consent or Dissent regarding Each and Every Matter, indeed without exception as exemplified per unwanted prevention, unacceptable prohibition, undesirable preemption, unwelcomed intervention, unwarranted retroaction by persons ever covetous as well parties ever contemptuous whether private, religious, philosophical, economical, social, political, governmental and more.

The stated right is taken from PROEM & POEM No. 140 - Bill of Right (see link for draft version) of my forthcoming book More Proems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters.

Quote by John Lock and My Commentary

"Every one is forward to complain of the prejudices that mislead other men or parties, as if he were free and had none of his own... This is the mote which every one sees in his brother's eye, but never regards the beam in his own." --- John Locke (1632-1704)

How then do I post such a quote while promoting even insisting so confidently, passionately even absolutely the sole ethic thus singular right to consent or dissent on all matters, as I critique with equal confidence, passion and absolute those who disagree? The answer should be self-evident yet often eludes. I do not covet unchecked enough thus do not intend to force upon their person, privacy, preference and/or possession by gun, knife, club, fist, office or vote. However, those who disagree do so for they do covet unchecked enough thus do intend to force upon my person, privacy, preference and/or possession by gun, knife, club, fist, office or vote.

As arrogant I may seem, I am equally, logically tempered, I pray humbled too, by what also should be self-evident yet often eludes. Whatever knowledge, experience, skill and wisdom I may have to manage my person, privacy, preference and property, are by no means sufficient to forcefully manage another's person, privacy, preference and property. With that said, many do speak and act as though they have such sufficiency, yet I am the arrogant one... :-)

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

Democracy and Mood Swings

If democracy is fundamentally imperative for a good and moral society as often implied even cited erroneously, then to be consistent, boundless mood swings must be regarded as fundamentally imperative for a good and moral person.

Democracy is not inherently noble, virtuous or principled, merely an amoral method among others for determining and making decisions within groups of any sort. On its own, democracy is susceptible to societal, political swings as irrationally extreme as unprincipled thus unbridled emotions or unchecked moods, knee-jerking to events, trends, fads, raves, rants as well contrivances. Occasional susceptibility soon turns to chronic vulnerability then terminal malignity.

As such, human instincts common among all other species are politically empowered hence covetously encouraged by the unconstrained vote, furthered gravely per human reasoning tainted and skewed upon selfishly ignored and/or legislatively mitigated responsibility and risk. At this juncture, democracy have made horizonlessly wide the path of least resistance towards cozening then confiscating any and all possessions and resources of others.

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

Diversity per French cognac, Italian coffee and American chocolate :-), accompanying tonight's writing for my current book project, accordingly....

"Covetousness is never satiated, albeit seemingly yet temporarily subsiding upon each coveted objective’s alleged success and perceived benefit. Alleged and perceived for always tainted marginally else considerably the success and benefit by the disparity between the anticipative imagination versus the acquisitive realization, that is to say, the psychological, emotional digression from pursuit’s greater euphoria to possession’s lesser dysphoria.

The inevitable depths within this covetously vicious cycle is repeated disappointment as mentioned, displeasure to follow, if unchecked then festering to bitterness, resentment, rancor as well hate, rage onto violence towards others predictably and oneself paradoxically. Socially then soon politically, such digressions are oft disguised as something else; righteous anger, moral outrage, thereby personally, arbitrarily preferring then illogically, unethically justifying a form of “by any means necessary”, nonetheless narcissistically empowering by sententiously pontificating hate and violence."
