(750 posts)My skills are very much a novice in blog writing and interpretation. Thats what I want to improve upon. Here, in this topic does it bother me yes, and is so exciting especially reading the reflections of many others while making my own opinion. This new capability in the internet expands the basic elements of Democracy. Plus understanding government in how by a Democracy can with a movement change with the vote.
True, our forefathers appear to have been a combination of hierocracy and hypocrisy. All wanting freedom from the tyranny of King George of England at the same time being holders of slaves. In a sense breaking away from bad to good or what we now think is good. In the most interesting comment in our constitution is the phrase We hold these truths to be self-evident yes; self-evident for me is the ideal relation to nature. Our basic foundation in the constitution appears to base on science in nature rather than religion.
When having civics classes as a youngster none of the self-evident concepts was elaborated honestly, openly, or debated for results to better government. Still seems to be vanishing by those that wish to dispose of the education departments. America appears to be teaching itself via this new medium. Many frightful at the suggestion humans pollute. The next time you flush the toilet or take out the garbage think about how humans pollute.
The mainstream media was supposed to have this responsibility, however by greed or what is considered freedom of the press went Orwellian, back to tyranny. We all see it sense it, feel it intuitively something is wrong in a fight for healthcare should be a no brainer, to bring Pease not War, to get rid of poverty not to expand it, have an living working wage economy, to have a more open government not secret stuff on going forever to profiteer from, to encourage education as the engine of progress, and especially to understand any religion believe but do not force others to your wants.
As an American we are survivors, I served my country by participating in the military to defend freedom. How many out there did the same, believe me it was not easy. Please dont call me an infidel in that my governance should follow someones mental suggestion in what god is or is not. This leads me to my conclusion about anyone who is random in thought.
The argument that Snowden is a traitor has some truth to it. Yes he did violate a law. Some secret stuff many of us dont understand because it collects Meta data which is nothing more than business things that are not important. That begs the question then why or why is it so important for our very rich one percent to do this secretly. Why not open transparency for all to view to use.
Think about it perhaps information such as Meta data is a violation of the constitution or amendment. However one of my possessions is a believe not a material solid matter like papers or possessions, it is a believe a thinking that takes action now violated, that is my behavior. This is the Meta data file secretly collected listed to generate reports that can be used to adjust my behavior. Perhaps to surrender my freedom
