My Ideal State

I get mail.  And I am not a very happy camper these days.  Some Items, as examples (among others, too numerous to go into here).

An outfit calling itself ‘America’s Prayer Network’ has pointed out how the Democrat Parry under former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has “waged war against prayer in our children’s schools for years [their emphasis]." They are talking about, and fighting for, voluntary prayer.  Not mandatory prayer.  

My take on that matter (not to get too caught up in the details of the matter).  Prayer should never be forced on anyone.  But it should be engaged in by everyone.  Or something very like it.  To strengthen our links with the Greater Reality of which we are a part.

Next.

Here’s a beauty.  It’s a mailing from an outfit called First Liberty Institute.  In it is a copy of an order from something called the Bureau of Labor And Industries of the State of Oregon to a couple who had been running a small bakery business called ’Sweet Cakes by Melissa’ instructing them to deliver “a certified check…for Complainants in the amount of 

      1) ONE HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($135,000), representing compensatory damages for emotional, mental and physical [???] suffering to be apportioned as follows:

     Complainant 1: $75,000

     Complainant 2: $60,000   

plus, 

     2) interest at the legal rate on the sum of $135,000 from the date of issuance of the Final Order until the Respondents comply with the requirements of the Order herein.”

For what, you may ask??

No.  I’m sure that you understand.

It’s the Pink Mafia at work.  

‘Boy, that’ll teach’em.’

I doubt it, Complainants & Co., and State.

I very seriously doubt it…

My measured comment to this, and all this same sort of thing going on in this country at this time:

What the hell is wrong with you people??  You have been bequeathed a free country, to say, a nation with principles of freedom - some examples of that freedom being freedom of religion, speech, the press, “or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”  You should have the right to have businesses, besides most open to everybody, some for black Americans only, and white Americans only, and Hispanic Americans only, and Japanese Americans only, and Korean Americans only, and Chinese Americans only, and Italian Americans only; for Catholics only, Protestants only, Jews only, Muslims only, Hindus only; Singles only, Married Couples only; LGBTQ only, Straights only;  - name it, as a like-minded group of people, exercising the right to flock together with their own kind.  Which you should be able to have.  In a free country.   

And if you can’t in your state, because statists took over the terms of your state constitution, move to a state that will allow you to live according to your conscience, and consciousness, and desires, under the banner of 

FREEDOM.  

However, in my ideal state - call it my kingdom - you wouldn’t have to move anywhere, to enjoy the fruits - and mindset - of freedom.*  And that would be

an order.

-

The spirit of freedom - ‘essential liberty’ - should have prevailed in this country.   

It’s a shame that it hasn’t. 

If I have anything to do with it:

It will now.

When you get to a certain level of consciousness, this is kids’ stuff.

Come on, People.  We can do this.

It’s time to, anyway.

* The federal form of government is an excellent form for being able to build in to your system some checks and balances against too great a concentration of power in any one body.  However, when you feel that you are ready to graduate to a higher level of government, it can be a hindrance.

   As the learned likes of James Madison pointed out to us Americans a long time ago.  

   (Read ‘The Federalist Papers’ for some sterling examples of his, and the other two contributors’ wisdom in these matters.)

P.S. And while I'm commenting on Things Going On In Our Time:

To the cops in Brooklyn who 'took the knee' recently in solidarity with that NFL quarterback, in refusing to acknowledge our National Anthem:
   
If it were just you and your beef, that would be one thing.  But it is not.  It is part of a larger picture and agenda, in which the Marxists, and the fascists (i.e., the corporate-government complex) as well, are attempting to take down this country, and turn it into merely a part of a region of their totalitarian New World Order, wherein and whereby we get to be subjects of an almighty state, and under an iron fist.

Wake up, People.

That's all.

Except just to clarify:

If anyone attempts to hijack your country, you have a right - and a responsibility - to tell them NO in every way, shape and form.

Try the judicial way first.  And if that way doesn't work - if they have succeeded in taking over that institution (which would have been one of their first moves; and see, e.g., the judges who at this time are blocking moves to stop 'sanctuary cities' from plying their illicit trade, or are blocking the Trump administration from applying logical and responsible measures to put a temporary halt on 'refugees' coming into this country from hotbeds of terrorism ) - then you have an absolute right to engage in other measures.

And that is all.

For now.

Stay tuned.

As things heat up. To

Completion.

    Think again, maestros.  The Process may have more involved than is dreamt of in your - materialist - philosophy.)
