Human Language Is Nothing Like

I Think A Decent Society Should Protect Rights To Private Property Within Limits, But Not Concentrations Of Private Power That Infringe On The Freedom And Rights Of Others, Including Exploitation Of Labor, And That Convert Any Democratic Forms Into What Have Been Called Sometimes "hierarchical Democracies," Like Ours, In Which Some Have Vastly Greater Influence Over Public Policy Than Others. Spelling All Of This Out Is A Complex Matter That Raises Many Issue And Problems That Are Impossible To Address Here.

My Speculation Is That The U.s. Does Not Want To Establish The Principle That It Has To Defer To Some Higher Authority Before Carrying Out The Use Of Violence.

The Us Is A Business-run Huckster Society, And Its Primary Value Is Deceit.

Jesus Himself, And Most Of The Message Of The Gospels, Is A Message Of Service To The Poor, A Critique Of The Rich And The Powerful, And A Pacifist Doctrine. And It Remained That Way, That's What Christianity Was Up... Until Constantine. :constantine Shifted It So The Cross, Which Was The Symbol Of Persecution Of Somebody Working For The Poor, Was Put On The Shield Of The Roman Empire. It Became The Symbol For Violence And Oppression, And That's Pretty Much What The Church Has Been Until The Present.

Unless That Happens, Unless You Get, You Know, Kind Of Integration Of Activists' Concerns And Movements, It Will Be, Each One Will Be 'preaching To The Choir'.
