Easter 2023 - Reply to NY Times Article

Kathern Hepburn  told Hukphrey Bogart, in The African Queen, 'Nature is what we were put here on Earth to overcome.'  And the conflict or contrast of Foreful rebellion against the conquering army and country of Rome, compared with Christ's message of peace and reward in Heaven gave Barabas an advantage in the people's valuation of their prospects. But neither position was a solution to the needs of the society and people of Isreal. Neither peace nor war would give them control over their own lives and the absurdity of life was once again front and center in morality and politics.  The will to power, in Nietzsche's view, was power over your own morals, your personal evaluations, the power to chose against the Church and against the state. To chose man for man's sake and to end the dictates of both religion and politics and decide to end man's inhumanities to man and work for the common good of mankind. 

The Republicans and American Oligarchs have gone too far into that good night of arming the slaughtering of our children.

 The ruling philosophy has changed to "Money is more valuable than people" and the Republicans have taken too much from the gun manufacturers and the other American Oligarchs to give up the fruits of their inhumanity for our children. I curse them, all, and pray that I may forget these things that with myself I too much discuss, too much explain, too much find nothing but bitterness and nihilistic contempt. The sick poisoned dogs are eating their children, and don't think anything is wrong with it. I so much want to call a just and murder filled, revenge filled, war. They have just about taken MY humanity away.

The lost souls: Trump and Desantis, followers of fools, not leaders of Mankind, seeing themselves inept.

 And well they should: they both degrade the humanity of America, the strength of America, the Humanity of America. In my youth, we would have simply taken their lunch money and laughed at them. Now, that they are bought and paid for by the American Oligarchs we can only laugh at them for being poor representatives of no progress and dictators for everyone. They are pathetic, incompetent, non-leaders of anything. They are both irrational, small, and ugly people who long to rule the rest of us, especially the 'us' that know how pathetic and inept they both are. Good Republicans and hateful, lost, Americans.

We can't Regress to Monarchist claims of Superiority and preparedness to rule.

The Republican philosophy and objective has regressed to what Jefferson called "Monarchists".  They are the superior citizens of the land and should rule us, either by devine right or by the fact of their being brighter, wealthier, better educated, the Rightful Rulers of the Land, and the people.

They are pathetic, unhistorical, unscientific, self-centered, know nothings, do nothings, who think they should have the power to decide the future of us, 330 million U.S. Citizens!!

That shows their smallness, arrogance, and total ineptness to have or handle any power over anyone.  We must bind together and make our common goals of law, order, humanity,  trust in each other, faith in each other, and understanding that we bend our knees to nothing known or unknown but to mutual commitment to purse our promises to our children for them to have communion of spirit, willingness to work and work together for the betterment of all of us. Jefferson helped remove the monarchist's "knee from our necks" and put a way to a more perfect Union in our hearts. Don't support those who try to tell you how to live. Support those who try to live honorably with you, with us, Americans all, and none inferior in any way.

 

Vote for freedom, vote for democracy.

 Why are we presenting 'logical, reasonable, arguments', against liars and would-be dictators? Because we aren't very well tuned on winning when it is necessary to win. Damn the optics of putting Trump in jail. The Republicans, the Republican Senators, voted Trump innocent of the most egregious law breaking by any human being holding great power in history! The Republican Senate said it was ok for a pathologic liar to fool the people , recruit armed killers to spread his fear mongering, etc. The Republican Senate said Trump was right to try to overthrow the American republic and Constitution. Nobody is saying this but the Republicans are planning a major take over of the American Treasury, by taking over the legislature, and making slaves, puppets, and frightened cowards of us all. You can vote them out but you need to look deeply into their conspiracy of power for more power over the weak, and keep being weak or be strong and stop the Republican destruction of " All Men are Created equal". They are special, have more money, more financial slaves, more poverty stricken servants trying to survive at the 'masters table'. Crawl for your daily bread or fight for it. Without courage there will be no surviving. Be brave enough to vote against new slavery. Vote democratic and anti-servitude and hopelessness ever after!

Science works and helps create progress.

Many people believe science is too highly praised and may not be what it's cut out to be. I only replay with saying the cars, planes, cities, electricity, supermarkets, health care, phones, television, computers, etc. etc., ALL WORK. We may use them to maintain man's inhumanities to man, but the science is there, behind the engineering, design, and applications. We bring energy, as electricity and natural gas into our homes so we can have the light, the television, the refrigeration, the water heater, all the 'comforts of home'. Most of us have faced science classes and learned the works that science and scientists have done. It's a great story, a large piece of our history, and will support our species in its struggle to live peacefully, helping life and living become safer, more rewarding, for all of us.

Response to "Counter Culture"

 Is 'Counter Culture' really counter 'Nature'?

Talent, in any field, should be acknowledged. But it should not be used to protect, separate, excuse, any accompanying arrogance, external assistance in fields not tied to the talented specialty. A good dancer should not be excused from trying to make a sexual partner from dancing partners, etc. Power should not be an aphrodisiac, but it obviously is. Too often 'Caesars end up in Cleopatra's bed', and vice versa. "Nature will out." People date fellow workers because they meet hem, a work, and fall in love. Cancel that and you will be canceling NATURE. I think much of our nature should be "overcome". We are children of successfully mating ancestors. Their genes got to us by 'any means genes get to us!'. Trying to combat that leads to the Freudian repression syndromes that push lust love and lust into the same bedroom, same personalities, and lead to syndromes of paranoia and schizophrenia. It's not new. The birds do it, the bees do it.. etc.
