What is a person.?

What is a person.
A person is one who has universal rights.
A corporation is a person
A set of cells is a person.
A nation is a person
A palestinian isnt a person.
A queer is not a person.
And depending on where you are in the world and who you are, you may or may not be a person.
Who creates personhood?
The supreme court creates.
The congress creates
The scientific community creates.
The religious communities create
Christians point to the declaration of independence as a reference that we are "one nation under god" perhaps but not governed by god.
Whos writing the us script? Biden confusing gaza aid with ukraine. Kamala saying very precisely, cease fire in gaza and while people clap, she says, "within the next six weeks, with the conditions currently on the table." Conditions hamas has already said they wont accept.

Money and Other News

-
Latest News- Assad goes away, so is another afghanistan on the way? More on that later but now, it's mostly about money Liberals and progressives are again in a self-created conumdrum. The trump presidency which includes his appointments are about to attempt to dismantle the federal government we love to hate but its like rescuing your drunken parent from further harm but with no cure insight. We'd rather continue on with not a wounded beast which america likes to imagine itself but a really, nearly worthless concept that has been perverted, corrupted, self-destructive, and downright a lying, sociopathic nation for hundreds of years, ever since it rewrote the rules for genocide (supremacy) and slavery (ownership). But i come to bury Caesar, not to kill it. Recently, i experienced the death of my sister. Other than my parents, no one in my immediate family had experienced a long term terminal illness as her disease progressed through two years of treatme...

Forgive america

-
Why i cant forgive america although i am a white man and have never experienced any of the terrible events in my lifetime that were precipitated by the false, faked, infallibility of the american dream. Yes, some may see me from the outside in, middle class, retired, comfortable but inside my head, heart and soul is a complex mixture of guilt, anger, fear, isolation, and a resounding moral standoff between my natural world and americas unnatural world that all of us are exposed to and manipulated by. Its toxicity on everyones minds, hearts, and souls is all encompassing. After much introspection, ive concluded some things that i have played out during the course of my life. There are three historical events that stand out for me in which america, as a nation, manifested its true metal. This manifestation goes beyond americas supposed defense of principles related to humanitarian rights for all, which always   turned out to be for just some, especially de...

Money2

Money2 Everybody needs money, right? The issues around money are numerous and depending on how anyone measures the importance of those issues. Heres some of those issues. How money is made. How money is spent. How much money one should have. How little money one can have and still survive. These are some of the questions people aske themselves and some that become moral questions, especially in reference to who spends the public money and how public money is spent. Public money is that money that historically, those obligated to pay part of their money to those who say they are paying for public resources, such as infrastructure, social programs, foreign policy, including supporting war in its various forms. Advertisement: for those literati out there i suggest rereading or reading Atlas Shrugged, by ayn rand, a precursor to our american government being run by billionaires which we can say, capitalist adventurers wanting to control the world. Who is J...

True believer

-
If youre a true believer in the two state solution, that is, still believing that somehow a miracle of cooperation of western nations will make gaza great again or a true believer in the slow, slow relief from ill effects of climate change by a miracle of cooperation of all the oil based, oil users, oil producer nations will make climate change go away, or a true believer of peace, believing that a miracle of cooperation of western nations allied with their enemies list of combative nations will decide to make love, not war by willingness to let go of all the grudges, deceptions, wars, conflicts, accusations then you must be under the influence of a delusion about how the political world exists. Seriously, stop and think for once. Im talking to you who have driven the left skyward since the seventies when everyone went off and got jobs without conscience, supporting minor activist and charitable programs that had more to do with self-help than revolution. How many...

Trump reversion to 1798

-
If you think trumps reversion to 1798 to take on deportation what about our fascination with attributing jewish as the chosen people by God himself, thus assuring all that we have today as far as blessing for genocide, ethnic cleansing, and dehumanizing interference in gazans obtaining food, water' and shelter. Huckabee, a christian zionist. I always thought jesus was coming, not to save the zionist but to save humanity. Religious belief is as confused as democrat-republican differences. You can run but you cant hide. Because the only one looking for you is your own conscience. Uprising by muse It looks like trump is appointing alot of women to positions of political influence. Is that diversity at work? Groundwork for future presidents? Sophie's Choice as immigration policy. Macchiavelli as foreign policy Adam Smith as economic policy. Oliver Cromwell as Domestic Policy The Bible as Definer of Freedom No one has asked me for my opinion...

UnitedHealth Limiting Mental Health Coverage Puts Patients’ Treatment at Risk

-
(Here's some info about united health from truthout) Neither Truthout nor any other news source is not responsible for anything I might say about anything. They try their best to be as reliable a news source any of us on the progressive side of things might want. But after reading this article which was written back in mid-november before the ceo of united heath was assassinated a week or so ago, i asked myself if we all will start dealing with a new (and old) phenomenon of progressives with a gun, or a former mental health patient of united health, or anyone with a gun who will shoot down anybody, or a turned republican with a misinformed grudge against obamacare, Nevertheless, he is causing quite a stir with the CEO healthcorp executive branches.  https://truthout.org/articles/unitedhealth-limiting-mental-health-coverage-puts-patients-treatment-at-risk/?utm_campaign=Truthout+Share+Buttons Sent from my iPad

Those who believe

-
Those who believe they're successful because of the powerful and inspiring voices of their parents saying, "you can be whatever you want," appealing to magical incantations of hope, to become the chosen ones. Immigrants are nothing but new settlers, new plymouth rocks or jamestowns, bringing not hope but old religions and false beliefs to the country that wishes it could be free but isnt. The little country that could try evolving to the glutton that would grow beyond its borders, to expand beyond the simplicity of peace and prosperity, to lose everything to the belief might makes right and right is mighty blind, deaf, and mean. Welcome you all to hell on earth. Come and appeal your cause. Politics is nothing but the management of resources through working for what you can pay for as determined by the owners of those resources. That's all. Not about what fools think god wants, what presidents want, what billionaires want. It's about wha...

Democrats are excited

-
The democrats have once again thrown themselves into an existential conundrum. Women are excited, black and brown people are excited, and Harris herself is happy as a bird in paradise. As one significant expert on democracy now says, Kamala "represents the fear of many about the browning of america more than the rise,of fascism in america."   Yes, it is horrible what all the haters are bringing to the democratic table.   Now, we are asked to forget what Kamala does represent in her politics, her philosophy, just like we were asked in accepting Hilary Clinton. America is enraptured with these sorts of campaigns of no substance. Blowhard fascists and slow-moving democrats without a new plan, a new fortune and future. If there was a god, he couldn't mastermind more confusion and cynicism that exudes out of the american democratic system. Harris is the new lemming leader, the new kool aid dispenser. She will win and anyone will be hard pressed ...

Innocence Are they?

-
  Innocence In the belly of the beast we’re all living, And into the belly of the beast, They all want to come. There is an axiom among common men, That the closer you get to the gun pointed at you, Then the sooner you should have started to run.   The thing I like about Hannah Arendt is that she defined the face of evil for what it really is, an abstraction. It is not Eichmann’s face who has mistakenly been placed in our minds as evil’s poster boy archtype. To accept that rendition misses the point of her remarkable insight. Rarely, do we recognize evil because we humans, whether intelligently or not, haven’t ever moved beyond archetypes, prototypes and stereotype classification frameworks, call them mental cages if you want, for those who don’t think but only react to what they believe is good and evil. The rigidity of thinking in america is about as banal as anything can be, beginning in our belief of american supremacy and exceptionalism that every amer...
