In Violation of Visitation

Visiting privileges?  What visiting privileges?  You know I got none in the recent divorce from politics.

The American political front has to become a different place where our country is considered most important beyond any entity created within.  Where each, and every citizen is valued beyond corporations, and other groups. Peaceful.

At best, each citizen, by, Supreme Court dictum enjoys equal status to corporations.  There sure are a lot of non-profits out there amongst our individual citizens.

When we are past the time of government becoming separate, and apart to serve itself before each of its’ individual citizens, I might petition for visiting rights.  That will be the time when, government is not a part time, additional unpaid job for individual citizens to participate.

In order to petition for visiting rights, even part time, government must change direction from rendering its’ citizens more helpless with every bill introduced, and bound in to law.  It must instead, be ever constantly aware of its’ subservient rights to each citizen under the Constitution.  That is much to ask after it has veered so far off that constitutional path but, it is their obligation.  It is also our obligation to receive our individual rights under the Constitution.

In the mean time while government should be bracing for a final time before, a constitutional break-out by its’ individual citizens, I will maintain a healthy distance.

I am spelling out my conditions for future visitation but, not visiting.

I admit to getting close to a violation of visitation but, I’m not in violation, am I?

BREAKING THE BROKE & BROKEN

OCCUPY WALL STREET CONTINUES TO OCCUPY, AND THE BROKE, AND BROKEN CONTINUE BREAKING.

THE OCCUPIERS HAVE THEIR OPPONENTS.  THE OPPONENTS ARE, AND HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS ECHOING ONE SENTIMENT.  IT IS THE ONE WE INDOCTRINATE OUR YOUNGEST CHILDREN WITH, FROM GRADE SCHOOL FORWARD.  WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY TRAINED THEM TO BELIEVE, THEY LIVE IN THE GREATEST FREE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

THE UNITED STATES WAS BUILT ON THAT PREMISE BUT, WE HAVE NOT MAINTAINED THE PROMISE OF THE PREMISE.  THAT IS WHY OCCUPY WALL STREET IS OUT THERE.  THEY, ALONG WITH MUCH OF THE POPULATION WANT RESTORATION.

IT IS THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT THAT HAS CHIPPED AWAY AT OUR BASIC MODEL.  THEY HAVE VEERED FROM WHAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE, TO SOMETHING ELSE FAR FROM WHAT THE FOUNDERS HAD INTENDED.

SOME, WHO ARE THE ROBOT THINKERS OF OUR SOCIETY WANT EVERYONE BACK TO THAT GRADE SCHOOL INDOCTRINATION.  THEY ARE INCENSED THAT YOU WOULD SAY ANYTHING OR, BELIEVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT.  TO THEM, WE ARE UN-AMERICAN.  TO THEM, TO SUPPORT ANY POLITICAL PARTY OTHER THAN THEIRS, IS ALSO UN-AMERICAN.

OUR FOUNDER’S PAPERS, ALSO KNOWN AS THE U.S. CONSTITUTION IS DIVERSE TO THAT THOUGHT.  IN FACT, IT SAYS, TO THE BOTTOM LINE, FREEDOM OF THOUGHT, AND PROTEST IS, AN AMERICAN RIGHT, THE AMERICAN WAY.  THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS YOUR THOUGHTS REGARDING THE GOVERNMENT IS A MECHANISM TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT FROM OVERREACHING, AND PREVENTING THE ULTIMATE RIGHTS GIVEN IN THE CONSTITUTION.

THE ROBOT THINKERS WOULD RATHER KEEP THEIR MINDS BURIED IN THE SAND.  AFTER ALL, THIS IS THE UNITED STATES.  JUST BECAUSE IT’S THE UNITED STATES, NOTHING’S WRONG.  NOTHING WILL EVER GO WRONG, AND NOTHING NEEDS TO BE FIXED.  IT IS, ACCORDING TO THEM, ALL THE REASONING YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR MOUTHS SHUT.  SOUNDS DICTATORIAL, AND VERY MUCH, UN-AMERICAN.

ALL OF THAT SAID, THE ROBOTS HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO FEEL AS THEY DO, AND SAY SO WITH ALL THE FERVOR THEY CAN MUSTER.  IT IS, AFTER ALL, THE UNITED STATES.

THANK YOU TO THE ROBOTS,  OCCUPY WALL STREET, AND ANYBODY ELSE WHO SPEAKS UP FOR KEEPING US ADVISED.

WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO…….

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness?  Your American citizenship via the U.S. Constitution.

Life is open to interpretation but, in this case, it is your interpretation of life.  Your life.  Not, life as you see fit for all.  Each individual has a right to their life.

Liberty.  Freedom to follow the life you envision for yourself without interference from your neighbor or, your government.

Pursuit of Happiness.  Happiness belongs to the individual, and you have a right to be happy. The pursuit is the right, and the result is up to the individual.  It clearly identifies the government to be a non-impeding factor of your pursuit.

Each of these tenets were meant for each individual American citizen.

We have allowed public opinion to dictate through our government what the boundaries will be for all.  We have become the judge, and the jury.  The dictators.  You have those basic rights as long as you fall within the boundaries.

Those scoffing may ask, do we then have a free for all?  The answer is no.  You cannot blatantly deprive someone of their individual rights but, there has to be some rules governing societal behavior.  Therein, to the extreme may lie a conflict.

Liberty is complete freedom but, if you have 100% freedom, each individual with criminal intent must be allowed their freedom.  If that’s true, and we disallow their success, have we infringed on their rights?  Truly, this is an extreme to illustrate a point.

In the end, there must be some boundary on societal behavior, and those outside the boundary will be infringed upon.  In the original Virginia draft, a seldom mentioned right to safety exists.

So, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are somewhat limited, and possibly conflicting.  They have to be, and careful reading of the entire Constitution describes a necessary prescription for the possible conflicts on the surface.

Each time CONgress presents new legislation it, is usually a limitation.  One more infringement on individuals, and their rights.  CONgress has taken a right of infringement on each of us every time they enact a new law.  They have taken their rights, and responsibility too seriously as they recklessly micro-manage this country in every aspect which was not the intent of the Founding Fathers.

It was the intent that, we do not suppress religion nor, does the government take a position of promoting religion except, that we do have the right to believe as we wish.

It was never the intent that government step in to the morality of issues like, abortion. Only that they are, safe, and sanitary as all health care.  Otherwise, it would be between an individual, and a health care professional.  There are aspects that we do not understand of the individuals involved, and have no right to become the Google of their very private issues. 

In religious context, I understand there is only ONE judge, and if that’s so, who are you to pronounce judgement?  Pronouncing judgement of your own accord puts you in a group of the non-believing, distrustful, and unfaithful.

Today, government has run way over their boundaries giving us case law to govern every step, and every breath taken by, each individual.  The last few decades have been an exercise in unnecessary control.  A part of business law illustrates the point.

How does America get back to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness?

CONgress must have members who subscribe to those rights, and not the rights of who can contribute most to their electoral campaigns.  A group of real Americans who will pursue a de-legislating session to cut all unnecessary laws impeding those rights.  A group who understands the only road to these rights is a minimum of legislation as necessary for society to act in a respectful manner toward one, another.

Occupy Wall Street?

DIMINISHING DEMOCRACY

Do we live in a diminishing democracy?  Have the mandates, and principles within the BillOf Rights, the entire Constitution, begun to fall?

English: Detail of Preamble to Constitution of...

Is it now okay for states, cities, and towns to circumvent America’s Constitutional principles with their own diverse laws?  If it is, then it is a license to put the Constitution in the shredder.

Whether you agree with Occupy Wall Street or, not is irrelevant under our rights under the Constitution.  They have the right to assemble in protest.

If you believe they do not have the right then, neither do we have that right.  And if we don’t, what’s next?  What articles of freedom are next to fall?

Only 45 – 50 years ago, we were to fear the Soviets of Russia, and a dictatorship.  Why?  No freedom, and we were the beacon of light to worldwide freedom.  In Soviet Russia, the populous had no rights prescribed under a Constitution of Freedom as we have in the United States.

Are there no more refills on the prescription?

OCCUPY NEEDS TO UNOCCUPY & REOCCUPY

I support anybody’s right to protest peaceably, in this country.  I am an ardent supporter of the OCCUPY WALL STREET core ideal.  All 100% of us on one, level playing field. 

Day 3 Occupy Wall Street 2011 Shankbone 8

However,…………….now what?  OCCUPY has made a point but, now what?

A leaderless occupancy is not enough.  Don’t misunderstand, a lot has been accomplished but, all that can be accomplished has been accomplished if, the group is going to remain just where it is, now. 

A group like OCCUPY will finally be, historical with nothing to show if, it stagnates, slowly fading away.  The group needs to graduate to a new level for survival.

 

Day 20 Occupy Wall Street October 5 2011 Shank...

OCCUPY needs leaders.  Not in the context of being the boss but, for organizational purposes.  OCCUPY needs to come together in further solidarity.  There is no further action at this point.  Is OCCUPY stagnating?  Just fading away with nothing to show in the end for its’ efforts?

The time has come for OCCUPY to unoccupy the premises, and take a big step to reorganize, and occupy the electoral system.  Take action to take the ‘CON’ out of CONgress.  OCCUPY has one great opportunity to reapply for occupancy where it counts, in November, 2012.

For the first time in several decades, somebody has to make an election, issue oriented with a step by, step process accompanied by, a time line for accomplishment.  The time line, and step by, step process is a contract.  If not done, get out!  The whole group gets out because, it will take the whole group to fail.

The American people deserve much more than playground antics, including bullying, name calling, and an emphasis on accomplishing nothing.  Nothing, except for its’ largest donors.

Our CONgress currently gets paid a salary for spending most of their time on a playground.  Lobbyists decide any actual forthcoming rules.

It is time for America’s government to be occupied by, the people, and for the people.  All 100% of the people.

I CAN BEAT YOU UP ON MSNBC

MSNBC.com Turns 10

Image via Wikipedia

Just like many of the comments allowed for one thing, and another, anywhere on the internet, MSNBC’s reader comments on different subject matter seldom reaches the subject matter, and graced with, typically illiterate comments.

If you want a good example, you probably have to search the videos on MSNBC-tv.

As an aside, these comments are not exclusive to MSNBC.  They are everywhere on the internet.

We have a country where you have the right to protest the way the government is run.  However, according to those rough, tough, well thought out comments; If you do protest, you’re not patriotic.

‘Just go home, take a bath, and get a job.’  How profound.  Really at the core of the issues.

I want to go in to a characterization of someone who thinks anything out for a negative number of seconds, if that long.  The equivalent of the Junior High School backyard bully with a vocabulary of 10 words.  Don’t need reasons.  What’s reasons?  ‘College?  Heck, I never even went to High School.  I got this smart all by, myself.’

Those most prolific with their comments, don’t even care about or, think about working their rear ends in to the ground at a job, maybe two jobs to bring everything together each month.

Nothing wrong with a hard work ethic.  Their thoughts don’t go beyond there.  Stuck.  It is how they will spend their lives.  Hard working, which is good, and patriotic to the system even if, it is broken, cheated upon, and maligned.

One of the problems is, most of them see nothing beyond where they are right now.  It’s the way it should be, and they want all of us to settle for the same existence.

No, thank you.  I still have a life time to get beyond that ridiculously, low, hum-drum existence.  I have a much higher opinion of myself than they obviously have of themselves.

Let’s not dismiss those within the upper echelon who are, quite worried that they would have to become involved in a fair system, after receiving breaks few of us are allowed.  They will join forces with the opposite extremes, and in fact allow them to do the work, in example with comments on the internet to keep it all, as is.  So, one class is being played by, those with every intention of remaining a privileged class.

I do look at a much maligned system.  Maligned by, the top players who manage their income as a privileged part of our society, and therein lies the problem.  It begins with a biased tax system assisting them in shielding their income with self serving loopholes.  Many of them keep more of their money than we do beginning with the CONgress.

Many leaving comments on MSNBC are obviously okay with that.  Work hard, don’t care about that because they are patriotic, and they don’t complain.   Taking it a step further, those in charge are allowed as much of their income as they want to take within the system.  It’s patriotic.

The reason these people are content is, they haven’t even got the where with all to realize there are issues necessary to address so, the system becomes, what it should become.  Fair, and equal for all of us.

If I told them,  Occupy Wall Street is not asking for hand outs but, instead a group campaigning for fair play for all of us, they would respond with an inquisitiveness, and one of the lead words in their vocabulary; ‘Huh?’

By the way, the carefully, politically orchestrated Bush 2013 tax increases are on the way…..for everyone!  In continued discriminatory, disproportionate amounts.

Huh?  Guess I’ll find a third job…..It’s the patriotic thing to do!

I AM ONLY FOLLOWING ORDERS

In Nazi Germany, they picked several classifications of people by, religion, and disabilities amongst others. They erased them from their society.  They would have a pure, super-race that would defend the government regardless of policy.  Those able to choose life over death would just ‘follow orders,’ even if it meant sacrificing any ethical standards employed as the very fabric of their existence,

The United States is in the process of picking out people, and they are being profiled in some cases with a permanent record as a dissident but, in actuality peaceably assembling according to the rights afforded in the Constitution of the United States.  They are brave people testing the written word of this country set by, the Founding Fathers.

The United States is at war with itself.  The U.S.A. is at war with the very principles of the Constitution that supposedly bind them.  Local jurisdictions are breaking up peaceful assemblies of protest all across the country.  The authorities are arresting people for peaceably assembling on the streets to file their grievances about the government, and its’ refusal to perform as it should.

They begin peacefully but,  local enforcers arrive with all kinds of weapons to disperse the crowds. Then, it begins to appear as something it isn’t.  They stir up the crowd, tell them it is no longer peaceful, and begin arresting people.  What motivates local authorities?  One four letter word; Fear.

So, I ask:  How is it, we send our children to school to learn these very principles while in practice these same principles are literally being violated?  Are we telling outright lies to our children?  ‘Looks good on paper, just don’t actually exercise your rights within the Constitution because there are consequences in real life.’  Do we teach them an allegiance based on false principle?

When I was in grade school, we were taught that we stood alone as a pillar of freedom for the entire planet.  As I look back, I wonder what they taught, and what they are teaching the kids in England, Australia, and Canada to name only three of several other ‘free’ societies.

We have had a certain ‘elitism’ about our freedom, and people of other countries at our doorstep with a desire for the same freedoms spelled out in our Constitution.  Are they now seeing us differently as videos of our reality are digitally displayed for the planet?  Are they laughing at us?

My son who is, a college student understands the principles but, also has a lot of common sense. He realizes you must always be aware.  The best of intentions may only, in reality be, just intentions not to be practiced without consequence.

Those in law enforcement choosing their paychecks over unemployment are just following orders.  Many of them have families.  They are just following orders.  Sound familiar?

Those who uphold the status-quo miss the point, altogether.  Right now, they are naming a chosen group as dissidents but, what if, tomorrow the status-quo become the hunted.  The hunter may be somebody who is ‘just following orders.’

Core principles have been shattered in the United States.  Too many interpretations of those principles.  No interpretations necessary as those principles were well written, succinct, absolutely without question to the point.  Read the Constitution verbatim.

The Founding Fathers of this country would be so proud of the ‘Occupiers’ for exercising their rights under the Constitution to peaceably assemble in protest , and conversely so ashamed of our CONgress’ inability to act  on anybody’s behalf, save 1%.

..Of the people, for the people by, the people……Let me interpret…..Of 1% of the people, for 1% of the people, by, 1% of the people….
