Quote of the day....

That frequent recurrence to fundamental principles, 

and a firm adherence to justice, moderation, 

temperance,industry and frugality, 

are absolutely necessary to  preserve 

the blessings of liberty, 

and keep government free. 

The people ought, therefore, 

to pay particular attention to these points, 

in the choice of officers and representatives, 

and  have a right to exact a due 

and constant regard to them, 

from their legislators and magistrates, 

in the making and executing such laws as are 

necessary for the good government of the State.

The fate of the country does not depend on 

how you vote at the polls --

the worst man is as strong as 

the best at that game;

it does not depend on what kind of paper

you drop into the ballot-box once a year,

but on what kind of man 

you drop from your chamber

into the street every morning.

A Fatal Tendency of Mankind.

Self-preservation and self-development are

common aspirations among all people.

And if everyone enjoyed the unrestricted use of

his faculties and the free disposition of the fruits of

his labor, social progress would be ceaseless,

uninterrupted, and unfailing.

But there is also another tendency

that is common among people.

When they can, they wish to live and prosper

at the expense of others.

This is no rash accusation.

Nor does it come from a gloomy and uncharitable spirit.

The annals of history bear witness to the truth of it:

the incessant wars, mass migrations,

religious persecutions, universal slavery,

dishonesty in commerce, and monopolies.

This fatal desire has its origin in the very nature of man -

in that primitive, universal, and insuppressible instinct

that impels him to satisfy his desires

with the least possible pain.

-Frederic Bastiat(1801-1850) French economist, statesman, and author.

That seeks to "captive" others.

To be the one that is of just world....

Treat others kindly... No matter what

It if it's in prison or even Gitmo or 

A godforsaken place...

Treat others kindly and do what best you can

To be the one that is of just world....

Perhaps you will be doing something

The world has failed to do in the first place

Treat others kindly....and 

Do what best you can.

Quote of the day......

The fundamental source of all your errors, 

sophisms and false reasonings is 

a total ignorance of the natural rights of mankind. 

Were you once to become acquainted with these, 

you could never entertain a thought, 

that all men are not, by nature, 

entitled to a parity of privileges. 

You would be convinced, that natural liberty is 

a gift of the beneficent Creator to 

the whole human race, and 

that civil liberty is founded in that; and 

cannot be wrested from any people, 

without the most manifest violation of justice.

Scapegoat-- Quotes of the day...

He who is punished is never 

he who performed the deed. 

He is always the scapegoat.

Author- Fredrick Nietzsche

           *       *      *      *      *

The scapegoat clearly illustrates this: 

A first expiatory animal is sacrificed, 

but a second is driven away, 

sent out into the desert wilderness. 

In the signifying regime, 

the scapegoat represents a new form of 

increasing entropy in the system of signs: 

it is charged with everything that was "bad" 

in a given period, that is, 

everything that resisted signifying signs, 

everything that eluded the referral from sign to sign 

through the different circles;

it also assumes everything that was unable 

to recharge the signifier as its center and 

carries off everything that spills beyond 

the outermost circle.

Author: Gilles Deleuze

           *     *      *      *      *

The first domesticated animal was the scapegoat.

Author: Yanko Tsvetkov

To undermine or destroy one Tradition

There is no maxim in my opinion 

which is more liable to be misapplied, and 

which therefore needs elucidation than

In fact it is only reestablishing 

under another name and 

a more specious form, 

force as the measure of right.

If one were to learn to say "why" 

As often as one could 

In most of one's affairs in this world..

The world would be A far better place than 

If one were to speak a million words 

from a dictionary.

Quote of the day......

No more fatuous chimera has 

ever infested the brain than that

direct belief by statute, and

no more pernicious sentiment

the right of debate must be regarded

Quote of the day.....

When any government, or 

any church for that matter, 

undertakes to say to its subjects, 

This you may not read, 

this you may not see, 

this you are forbidden to know, 

the end result is tyranny and oppression, 

no matter how holy the motives. 

Mighty little force is needed to control 

a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; 

contrariwise, no amount of force can 

control a free man, 

a man whose mind is free. 

No, not the rack, not fission bombs, 

not anything -- 

you can't conquer a free man; 

"the most you can do is kill him."

-- Robert A. Heinlein(1907-1988)

Analytic of Relativity of truth....

when 99% presented as true or factual

and the rest 1% as lie or erroneous

The facts of which in A paradigm shift

show case the 99% as lie and 

only 1% representing the truth.

True nobility is an account of 

One's generosity towards others

Past and Future....

Faith conundrum...

Truer faith has more in common with

the divine and humane among us

than with religion.

p.s- as an example one does only need to look at 

Christ for such understanding.

Preposition -^&#...

Only an autonomous act can initiate change

All else is contrived.

A preposition in moral logic.....

When a supposition X is equal to A or B or C or D

and so on so forth,

Yet an assumption that X is not equal to X were to be held

Then X=X ,  in all probability 

By the very supposition that

X is equal to A,B,C,D.

The being as "signified".....

A being in essence is just a "biological creature 

like any other" and 

all attributes that personify the being 

either as assumed or believed to be true are 

mere constructs of the being itself 

in signifying the very nature of being 

which otherwise is of least or no significance 

in the way nature organizes and demonstrates itself.

A lower species...

If one has lived a life mostly justifying Evil

One has not had a true existential challenge 

In one's life,

nor is one's life touched by humanity or divinity.
