Another Political Argument

If you've read this blog once, then you've more than likely taken note of my liberal position regarding humanity and my conservative perspective on legality and freedoms. While there are things that are more universal as per the experiences of a citizen; the most essential is the ability to avoid a life of unavoidable enslavement. But even by that measure corporations(including Banks) have the ability to use the law as a weapon. They enforce unreasonable fees on individuals simply because the law is written in a way that allows them such utility(in addition to the ability to employ a full-time lawyer). Individuals barely stand a chance. But this topic is actually about an argument I had with an older gent about the role of government in society.

Back a few days, I happened across an irresponsible post on Facebook. To my surprise, I felt the urge to comment. After I commented, my comment was targeted by a Libertarian. This man argued about the families of yesteryear and how the community was much more responsible during those times. He responded to me with respect despite my childish digs at his perspectives. I undermined the dialog at every turn with snide remarks and cheap shots. No reason to justify my positioning. No explanation is sufficient. Throughout the entire exchange, he held his cool and communicated adeptly. I respect that man. I deeply reflected on what he said to me. I realized that our arguments were literally the same. The difference came with our expectations. The major differences were our fears.

At the end of every thought he proposed and suggested, there was a gentle yet persistently lingering scent of fear. Despite the sharpness of my delivery, I shared with him that I respected his maturity. My message was one that I chock full of understanding and acceptance. Well, his was too.

Basically, he felt that businesses needed their requirements met and felt like government had little to no role in businesses business. I do not disagree. However, the laws that govern people should not allow the impartial to be swayed by the apparent or abundance of resources. This is where corporations lose my protective thoughts(think prisons; yes, that is a business). These systems aren't set up for due process or to serve the many. It actually takes from the many and serves the few. People should get paid for work they do. People should not be taken advantage of because they don't already have the knowledge or resources to legally stand up and defend themselves.

Beyond the amount of bias and arrogance thrown at the people who struggle from month to month, there is that ever constant reminder that there is somebody, somewhere, that does nothing but sit in a room and plays on a computer while making an absurd amount of money. If many people can do that job, then the pay shouldn't be exclusive. This is why  I believe government is an integral part of life as we know it. Is the military part of government? Yes. Is the court a part of government? Yes. Is law enforcement a part of government? Yes. Somehow, though, the financial resources are what allows you to overcome the law that the individuals are being held to that allows the corporations(such as banks) to require and damage individuals. If corporations are to be held as individuals, then they should be treated equally and not above any other person. That is why President Barack Obama is in office. He is the man most suited for making that disparity between individuals and corporations a little less overwhelming. And that is why I argued.

Romney-hood

Check the arguments a person uses to counter an (Idea/Public-Person/Goal). If the primary source of argument is an insult(negative view with only opinion as support), then the person should be ignored until they can produce something to substantiate the opposition. It really is rather simple but too many people have no problem overlooking the obvious lack for selfish reasons; Appealing to their self interest. Mitt Romney is not viable. The same way that Ron Paul was not viable. The same way that John McCain was not viable. I was mad that W was in office; that he stole away with the election in 2000. Infuriated, I knew things wouldn't end well. They did not. It's a crying shame. But even if Mitt Romney got elected, I would still accept that he was President. I'm not going to run around and ask for his birth certificate, taxes or anything else because that is a waste of time. And as a country we NEED to move forward. But there were plenty of ignorant, bigoted cowards that, instead of saying what they truly felt, used far reaching speculation to somehow avoid fealty to the Office of the POTUS. It was too late. It didn't matter. And those who did such only showed what would lead to our demise. There should not be an equal measure of voting when some people know how it effects them and others do not. However, that system would be far to complicated to implement with the current citizens that spent three years in confusion about whether the elected official was viable for election. If you apply for it and get beyond that measure, then there is an infinitesimal possibility that the governing council would see anything to correct. But these idiots....smgdh. I may not have a job....may not be able to provide for my loved ones but I know the choice before me is the right choice. We have idiots that argue against the elected officials but have yet to realize the official only does(to a certain extent) what the people want. Y'all just don't realize how many people want what we all get. And that is the biggest misstep in that thinking. Obviously, the country that we live in is not nearly as coherent as we assume it is. Such a pitiable thing.

Laughing at Their Tears pt 1

All the political rhetoric being in full swing, the country seems to have forgotten what led to the U.S.of A. being on a downward path. I encounter an endless barrage of hateful & slanderous lies about President Barack Obama. Most speak to a level of presumption and speculation that is literally unreal.
Maybe, it is true that the college educated are somehow "dumber" than all the people that simply went to working. That logic simply doesn't add up. As I know it, more important than anything you learn in school is the foundation of interpreting information and desire to grow. Without a healthy set, no matter how far you go in school; how high you rise on the corporate ladder, there will always be a lacking in your logic. This is self-evident in every person I have ever seen. These things don't make you a good or a bad person. It does illustrate the simple fact that you are human; raised by humans; taught by humans; surrounded by humans. All of this fear of Socialism and it is merely the idea that we come together as all to provide common, basic services. The military, police, post office, IRS, FBI, etc...these examples and many more fit under the description of Socialism.
I'll leave this saying that maturity isn't something that happens without effort. You don't simply grow into being a better person. There must be the application of effort.
When I come across these statements that throw insults and slander at the President, I remember who I was when I was mad at President W. These same people weren't outraged before. These same whiny people who aren't afraid to be hypocrites. These same whiny people who claim everybody else is always so whiny. When I see it, I find so much delight. Not in their supposed suffering but in the folly that leads them to believe they are "Correct, Proper & True". However, I am also greatly saddened by the burden of their mental ineptitude. We can argue against the system but it isn't simply the system being Dem or Rep. That's silly as an argument. Our country cannot support a different system. My skin color is still an issue. C'mon.
