Promoting humility& appreciation to civic-integrity

Why I oppose universal care -- health, racism, sexism, & genderism:  Humility& appreciation

Gradual expansion of the health-care industrial complex is a government debacle resulting from history’s-humankind vainly-attempting to manipulate power, in order to usurp personal civic-integrity. In the U.S., schools are promoting “gender change” that will enslave a person for life. In China, elites seem to extend life a decade by taking citizens’ organs. Only when most persons choose integrity will an achievable better future seem possible. “Integrity” expresses both wholeness and reliability. Must humans perceive unrest, if not unhappiness, to perceive that humankind has wealth yet is not pursuing civic-integrity. Responsibility rests with the human-beings.

We’re at the recent edge of 300,000 years homo sapiens’ cultural-evolution. This year is critical in 10,000 years’ benefits from grammar. NASA plans a colony on the moon or on Mars in perhaps 10 years. Yet the world’s military complex is negotiating world war palpable to elites. Notice the-elite’s disregard for the continuum: the-last& the-next Ukrainian war-victim.

It seems obvious that comprehensive safety& security on earth (and its extensions) is in the hands of civic-citizens. By “civic” I mean persons who are reliable in developing their human being (verb). Civic-citizens are reliable in mutual connections& transactions. It is important for a civic-society to accept that not all citizens choose civic-integrity.

It seems obvious, and history affirms, that adults, possessing the ability to consider& choose personal actions, divide humankind on individual choices to be human or not. Some individuals unhappily develop as mineral, plant, animal, or soul rather than as person. Others acquire the comprehension& intention to pursue civic-integrity. Fortunate civic-citizens acquire responsible-human-independence (RHI). (Perhaps a few citizens perfect their unique person before dying.)

These principles are abstractly reflected in the intentions-sentence of the United States preamble (to the Constitution). (The other sentence presents the nation’s statutory law.) Each private citizen can& may practice proffered public disciplines “to ourselves and our Posterity”, where “Posterity” includes both descendants and legal immigrants. Some legal immigrants comprehend the U.S. intentions better than many born citizens. Many citizens, influenced by English-bias in American scholarship, think the preamble expresses the Declaration of Independence. Education Departments repress civic-integrity, promoting traditions rather than pursuing the proffered U.S. intentions.

The U.S. preamble is institutionally repressed by provisions in the 1791 Bill of Rights. Most egregious is the religion clauses in the First Amendment, which reverse the godlessness of the 1787 Constitution. Believing in a church or not is a private choice. The government that imposes a God is being too intimate with the people who authorize the-rule-of-law. Government can neither coerce nor force the choice to be theistic or not.

The 1789 Congress awarded itself freedom of religion, at the expense of the-rule-of-law. Congress felt it was due divinity on par with the English Parliament, which assigns to Church-of-England-bishops 26 seats in the upper chamber. Magna-Carta-pride in England became tyranny in the USA. Civic-integrity grants no place for emotions like pride and greed. The civic-citizens of the U.S. can& may remedy this tyranny. For example, change “preventing” to “promoting” in the religious-practice clause. Such U.S. reform could restore the 1787 abstract-commitment to support privacy rather than to invite intimacy.

Eleven states seated Congress in 1789, and since then, the U.S. civic-citizens have avoided, changed, escaped, rationalized, resisted, and neglected the proposed United States. As a consequence, recent legislation, administration, and adjudication pursues power rather than the-rule-of-law. For example, Article 4, Section 4 states: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.” Yet in 2023, at this moment, aliens illegally cross the southern border to receive U.S. aid. This is so, because the civic-citizens, We the People of the United States, accommodate U.S. administrative tyranny. The recent homo sapiens development, the last 234 years with U.S. leadership, produced chaos.

Even worse, “ourselves” is continuing to live high on the hog, obligating “our Posterity” to pay $31.6 trillion and climbing debt. It’s a global dilemma. Perhaps debt-relief inspires world leaders to negotiate world war. And the U.S. administration is unconstitutionally negotiating medical powers to the WHO, coming on the heels of apparently WHO sponsored COVID 19. Only the civic-citizen can stop accommodating tyranny. Why does tyranny persist?

Civic-citizens are distributed among the economic classes – from the poorest to the richest. They are distinguished by personal pursuit of statutory-justice during every decade of their lives, beginning the moment they consider, accept, and pursue RHI. By practice more than by exhortation, civic-citizens facilitate& encourage a culture of civic-integrity. Their guiding principle is to neither initiate nor accommodate harm to or from any person or association, including self, family, and fellow-citizens. Through statutory-justice, they aid responsible pursuit of happiness “to ourselves and our Posterity”, as defined by the preamble’s intentions.

It seems obvious that non-civic adults accommodate non-civic children. For example, children whose parents smoke might smoke. Obesity ruins families. Arrogant wealth ruins the careless-wealthy. A child can& may unlikely-discover, consider, and adopt RHI. But Education Departments egregiously do not practice, let alone facilitate, RHI. To benefit from statutory-justice with the likelihood that the child will transition to mature adult approaching unique, personal perfection seems impossible, unless there is a well-informed childhood and adolescence. In an RHI culture, civic-integrity is perceived a personal self-interest. And in self-interest RHI-citizens constrain elites by aiding the rule-of-law, guided by the U.S. preamble or better.

The RHI-society practices, facilitates, and encourages civic-integrity, especially to self, rather than providing the industrial complex to accommodate, much less promote, civic-abuse, including to self. The newborn is privileged with the opportunity to develop a human-being (noun). Their parents and Education Departments are responsible for practicing, facilitating, and encouraging-the-child to acquire the comprehension& intention to pursue perfection of their unique person before death. Our immediate future must focus on this self-interested-duty rather than on providing care needed due to accumulated failures. Individual choices matter, because they either aid or retard the human march to RHI. This actual-reality was plain 5,500 years ago and has been denied until now.

(I write opinion, because I don't know the ineluctable-truth.)
