5/17/12 We’re Only Human, Aren’t We? One of mankind’s biggest problems is that there is a tendency, whether natural or not I don’t know, to lay a legal, simulated socially acceptable architectural framework around every important philosophical and religious belief. This framework turns into more of a meshy( as well as messy) mental jailhouse from which the intellectual cannot escape without leaving some little truth behind, like a revered ex=lover, one now despises, yet remembers good times amongst the bad, or like one atom smashing against another atom, leaving less mass within each and the other. Physics professors spend their whole life looking for that missing link. Don’t forget a brand new prison is still a prison. From the Holy Bible, Torah, Koran to the Magna Carta, Constitution, or Social Contract, there is the incessant tendency to obfuscate whatever is written so it can fit the perusal needs of the “obfuscator,” as GWB, Sarah Palin, or Donald Rumsfeld might say....
