Well, I have done my week of positive posts. Now, the faithful who follow me know that I actually have always had a fair number of positive posts having nothing to do with politics, religion, macroeconomics, etc, and even entries in these categories can be educational, not necessarily negative, to wit, the recent posts about Blasé Cupich, the New Chicago archbishop and the article on creative ways to fund college. Those are quite positive posts, but of course the detractors easily forget all of such rich content and focus on the negative. Sadly, its human nature not to remember the posts about kids accomplishments, the new lab, great Omaha articles, etc. Nevertheless, I will heretofore (after of course a brief deluge of all the news from the last week I have held back) try and bring even MORE balance to my educational mission. I feel strongly that the reality news does not make its way to the major American news sources, because they too, catering to a similar audience, like to keep there heads in the sand, calmness among Huxleyan lib robots, and focus on the pink bunnies and unicorns. I will focus on the hard truth and of course the hypocrisy (which I believe should be the eighth deadly sin) of most of the progressive agenda in this country. Some prefer to use termination and choice. I prefer the term murder. “Whereas it appeareth that however certain forms of government are better calculated than others to protect individuals in the free exercise of their natural rights, and are at the same time themselves better guarded against degeneracy, yet experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms, those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of preventing this would be, to illuminate, as far as practicable, the minds of the people at large, ....whence it becomes expedient for promoting the publick happiness that those persons, whom nature hath endowed with genius and virtue, should be rendered by liberal education worthy to receive, and able to guard the sacred deposit of the rights and liberties of their fellow citizens, and that they should be called to that charge without regard to wealth, birth or accidental condition of circumstance.” Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson: Writings
