We Have Forgotten the Golden Rule

Lyle Northey (Silent/Boomer)

The news comment has been that as long as pathic 45 is in the news it is good for his  opposition and bad for his party. So maybe we should use his name as often as possible and make sure that all his laundry is on the line for all to see.

It really should be mentioned that in order to get where he is he has had to do a lot of not so nice things. We have seen people like him in the past go missing like union bosses and drug lords to name a couple. Will his be the same fate? It is hard to tell but it would not come as a big shock if it did.

The outcome of the 2024 election is a question, hopefully it will be an outcome that provides stability and reason to our government. With that said, do we have a way of ridding our congressional ranks of the obvious 4F category people that have been slipped in by massive maneuvering by the GOP. Perhaps we will see some movement on that side of the wall that brings them back to government with a purpose not dictatorship with greed as their driving force.

The current GOP has been likened to the death of the party of Lincoln, and in order for it to again function and govern the Phoenix must rise from the ashes. All of the powers that seem to have a stranglehold on the GOP need to be either realigned or eliminated and new supporters brought in. 

We have people that believe we cannot have a functional government without having God in the driver’s seat. Well all you need to do to prove that as a bad concept is look at the countries that have a religious leadership. They are poorly run, backward in attitude, keep over half of the population in virtual slavery and kill all those that disagree with the way they are doing things. We may need to be influenced by religion but we do not need to be ruled by religion. The books written to give power to a deity are works of men that had personal agendas that were self serving and one sided. The only reasonable way to run a nation is with consensus of all that reside within it. 

Laws and order need to encompass everyone regardless of ethnic difference, gender or anything else that seems to be a reason for separation not unification. Different makes for interest and learning should be a life long project not read this book and now you know all you need to know and if someone strays from the teaching in this book they are evil and need to be put to death.

At a certain point in life each of us should carefully consider what will our actions do for those that follow. As parents most want to leave a better situation for their children than what they inherited when their parents passed. I am not sure of when that point is, but if you no longer are going to pick up the check for the party then maybe you should not be holding the party.

If this life is all we have then consider that there is no reason for you to screw it up for the next generation. If this life is just a current stop over and an opportunity to learn and develop and move on to the next phase then you might want to consider what you are learning and will you need to be a better person in the next chapter or is being a bastard the best you can hope for.   

The people that make the most noise about follow the teachings of a Deity are the first to 

violate any semblance of order or devotion as they seek to get as much as possible from all that enter their realm of influence. The leaders of great religious organizations seem to be doing so much to elevate their own teaching and agenda’s and once they are comfortable in limelight they start to extend their influence and that usually brings them down. The downfall occurs when they attempt to enter areas that are controlled by people with very different views on power and influence.

The House is again making completely no sense as they are going to stop woke programs or influence in the Pentagon. Most of these rather uninformed or misinformed idiots don’t know what it is they are attempting to stop. The majority are most likely not of the 1% that have served this nation in uniform and they are proud of it just like Trump bragging about his contribution to the Vietnam War was not catching an STD from the hookers in Time Square. Isn’t that special, that goes out to all you bible toting bigots. If a member of your house was involved in the world’s oldest profession you would not have a thing to do with them, but someone who brags about his involvement you’ll vote for, must be your version of turn the other cheek, face or back side.

Banning books and burning books ordered by a governor of a state. This is an elected official that is accountable to the citizens of the state, the citizens are not responsible to him. If what he is doing call for a referendum vote and gets him out of office. The idea that history will repeat itself is not new and it appears to be true. 

The Pilgrims came here to escape religious persecution, and then set up societies that were devoid of choice of religion and they ended up with a mess. So today we have multiple religions attempting to run various parts of the world and the heavier the influence the poorer the conditions of the nation they are in. Religion may be a cure for some things that are wrong but it is like a cancer for other things. Currently if you are diagnosed with cancer the medical profession put  you on chemo and radiation treatments to kill the cancer. So they kill that cancer and give you leukemia now you have a lack of white blood cells and can not fight off a common cold.

Perhaps if a bit of common sense was used so that rather than kill one cancer giving a more robust variety a chance to invade, the cancer is brought to a manageable level and it can fight the more robust intruder and your system doesn’t have to work so hard to keep you alive. The method of total kill in a disease is like total control by religion, it makes no sense and it hinders advancement and very possibly cure. Denial that an event took place, think slavery or the holocaust, or that some people prefer to find happiness in the arms of someone of the same gender will not make these things go away, more likely it will get people to address those issues and make a bigger public scene than if they were accepted and respected.

Creating an environment that has neighbors spying on neighbors and no one trusting anyone is not good for your neighborhood, your community, your state or for the nation that encourages such tactics. As soon as something becomes illegal there will be someone that says they are going to see if they can get away with it, and for how long. Regardless of anyone’s personal view on any subject or practice we would all do well to consider if we really need to concern ourselves with it. If you do not want to drive faster than the speed limit, no one can force you to do that. If you do not want to go in a bar or pool hall, a strip club, a movie theater, a sushi bar, or a church no one can force you to go, and at the same time you need not stop anyone else from going were they choose unless they are a minor or not able to care for themselves.
