problematic judgment

 

 
 
A problem needs to be solved,
because it impedes the reaching
of a goal.
A question is a prayer to Curiosity.
 
 
Don’t you see?  They have told us
we have no right to privacy.
They somehow have devised a system
of lies to deny us our most intimate,
basic, sacred lives, to deny any rights
beyond their rule, their peeves and whims.
Cruelty from on high to amuse while they
croon hymns to their chosen God, as if
these harms they sow out of piety.
 
 
What we are by nature is malleable
What we learn to be is less so, imprinted
software.  Yet, we are blessed with
reprogram ability, neuroplasticity.
If only we believe and act accordingly,
imprint on a bliss revealed reality.
 
 
Traumatized people entrapped in panic
may not have the clarity, the rationality,
to make good choices.
That does not mean they have no choice.
It does highlight the problem, the need to
ameliorate the traumatized anxiety,
to offer clarity, rationality, so better choices
can be more easily ascertained.
 
 
Has this Supreme judge read the glorious 9th
Amendment which assures us that rights not
enumerated  in the Constitution belong to the
people and the states.
Abortion is part of the most intimate areas of life
which ought not be in the realm of political control.
We are human beings, natural animals, first,
before we get together to figure out how to live
together under law.
These most personal parts of our life are even
beyond privacy, are how we relate to who we are
outside of social definitions or control
if we are to be human at all.
 
 
 
 
It astounds me how people who claim to
believe in an omnipotent, omniscient god
seem to think said god incapable implementing
its own will, but somehow needs these weak,
ignorant humans to impose it.
 
 
 
For people who work in the political system, of
course their solution is to vote; and it is vitally
important that we do vote for representatives
that actually represent us.
But voting is only our fundamental duty as citizens --
not our entire duty nor our entire recourse.
Of course we vote, intelligently, after actual research
to discover who has the will and ability and values
to act in our interest; and meanwhile we
organize and make ourselves heard.
 
 
 
 
It lately seems to me that the basic GOP is
about a wealthy elite of white "Christian" male
investors who get to lord it above the servant class,
which has become too large for easy control, so
they invent policies to shorten our lives and keep
us down and confused by their manipulations.
 
 
 
 
I have been wondering about our experience of "consciousness"
 
Could that experience be not so much natural to us
as a product of culture?  Could there be cultures in
which people are not so self-embroiled and live within
reality, aware but not aware of being aware?
 
 
 
even more chilling, not only did the Supremes
majority say that abortion isn't in the Constitution,
they said there is no right to privacy in the Constitution
 -- imagine what their nasty little minds are hatching.
 
 
 
we see that there are humans who do terrible
things for reasons that we may not know.  I have
been wondering about human nature and how
we are made to feel while growing up -- if we
could be treating children in ways that would
lead to better outcomes in terms of how
we treat each other.
