When you want to be patriotic, when you want to be sane. Where is your last line of rhetoric? These are only a few thoughts that I have had and might continue to have till the day I die.

               Just   because   a
            country  has  media,
            with  it's  own  press,
            that doesn't mean it's a
            free press. If a country
            has  no   genuine   free
            press,  that  strictly ad-
            heres to  the  priciples
            of  natural  law,  that
            weighs the consequences
            of cause and affect with
            a comprehensive under-
            standing of the use of
            projected prediction of
            human behavior as it
            pertains to human development
            and human survival,
            . . . .how can you be-
            lieve a word that they say
            abaout the condi-
            tion, or intent, of their
            country?



What is Democracy if it isn't people
judging each other to see who's best fit
to govern them? If people don't beleive
they should judge each other, then they
don't beleive in thee American system.
Tyrants and criminals are the ones who
don't want judgment and criticism. If
people don't beleive in constructive criti-
cism and reasonable judgment are solu-
tions, then they really don't beleive in
the American system of socio-politics.





The definition of culture is arts, beleifs, and customs.
So, if it's customary for people to beleive that there is nothing they can do about their government, then that is thair culture, and for them to complain about their government and not their culture is a contridiction, especially since people who make up thir governments are usually products of their cultures one way or another.



The confederate flag, is a symbol, that was displayed by a majority of a form of governmentthat many good men died to defeat. I know there are a lot of great Americans that come from the states that incorporate this symbol into the expression of their government. I think it's a bad idea. It is still a symbol of conflict of which the appropiate side lost. Right prevailed, and that symbol should not be allowed to confuse that fact.





Personal attacks and character assassination are just sophisticated forms of head-butting and feces slinging. They are tools of people who just aren't capable of making a good argument. They rely on emotional manipulation of people instead of intellectual responsibility, or the use of logic and reason in the pursuit of truth. The reality of the human dynamic changes with the manipulation of perception. Personal attack is the tool of those who aren't willing to try to understand, of those who are unwilling to form cognitive dialogue. Without cognitive reasoning people resort to simian-like behavior such as intimidation or mob emotion to manipulate public perception and stifle the speech of the target. They realize they would be unable to elevate their agenda in any other way. The only problem is that their platform is based on the same lack of cognitive effort. By the way, the ability to appear pleasant and nice does not necessarily reflect cognitive ability. Many criminals are nice to their victims—especially those who don't get caught.

Seeing as the time to vote is near. I find it fit that these thoughts would clash. I hope if you read this you either have a strong feeling towards it or against it. There are no fences to sit on when it comes to voting.
