The saying is that one has freedom until it harms others. After delivering that profundity people walk away feeling Wise and self-satisfied.

The problem is hat they haven’t said anything. Those of us who inhabit Planet Earth live with PEOPLE. Our freedom is what other PEOPLE decide we have. The fellow who just delivered the above chestnut leaves out all reality.

Who decides?
The above piece of Great Wisdom is, “One has freedom until I DECIDE it harms others.”

That is the “freedom” that is granted by every Communist, every fascist, and every slaveholder who ever lived. The Berlin Wall was set up because East Germany decided that the flow of young people into West Germany harmed East Germans.

And it DID.

“One has freedom until it harms others” justifies the Berlin Wall and the Fugitive Slave Laws. When a field hand who cost a man a thousand dollars runs away it definitely harmed him and his family. In fact, the loss of that piece of property could RUIN a small slave owner. To use the Great Wisdom that justifies illegal immigration, “The man who sent someone up North to reclaim his property just wanted a better life for his family.”

That was the way slave owners looked at it. The slave’s freedom harmed his family. That was what Andrew Jackson, who lived on the edge of ruin, viewed his chasing down HIS runaways.

Here is a critical distinction:

It is not that one who says “One has freedom until it harms others” is wrong.

It is not that he is right.

The point is that he is saying NOTHING.

THAT is the reason we are rudderless today. People get paid for saying NOTHING, from the pulpit and from the lectern.

The Bionic Man is here. Genetic selection is rushing toward us. What do we get from Traditional Values preachers and Harvard Ethics professors? They warn us that this power can be misused. They warn us that these powers are dangerous and can be misused.

Well, DUHH!

There is no thing as harmless freedom. There is no such thing as harmless power.

The reason anesthesiology became a medical specialty is because ether can EASILY kill a patient. In fact, with a random spark, it could kill everybody in the operating room. If our only reaction is to outlaw anything that can harm people, every drug on the market would be banned, starting with antibiotics.

Sugar an EASILY kill diabetics. The freedom to sell sugar should end with that.

Certainly automobiles would have to go.

In the onrushing new age, all the people we pay to advise us are saying NOTHING.

They make a LIVING saying nothing.

We have “both sides” and nobody at the wheel.

While “thinking outside the box” has become a tiresome establishment phrase, we in BUGS DO have a different window on the world. As was said in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a powerful mind can deduce the whole universe from a piece of fairy cake.

You cannot deduce the whole world by sticking with today’s news headlines.

From my discussion of “The Luv Cult” went on to make a short and concise piece explaining generational changes, the attitude of so-call “Christians” and race in the Old Testament.

I do not so much take issue with what he says as I EXPAND on it.

AFKAN is right that a fundamental change took place in the Counter- or, as he correctly describes it, the NON-Culture of the 1960s.

But, as I said, this Luv Cult is a JOINT effort of BOTH the anti-culture AND the Traditional Values crowd.

Until 1948 South Carolina was the last state in our Regrettable Union to forbid divorce FOR ANY REASON WHATEVER. This was in the name of Traditional Values. In our less gullible terms it said that, once a guy in a dress said the WORDS, the State sanctified them forever.

The latest poll shows 30% of Americans now agree with that old South Carolina view, and that is the lowest percentage EVER. Traditional Values people emphasize the absolute importance of the WORDS and the guy in the dress, which in my case also means the preacher or JP in the coat and tie, beside whose authority children’s genes mean nothing.

“Modern” types agree the children’s genes mean nothing, but they say all that mattes if the emotional state the parents are in at the time. Just as a powerful mind can deduce the universe from a piece of fairy cake, we can deduce the reason our society gets so SILLY from this joint view of “both sides” in our political-cultural debate from this Luv Cult-Maninadress bit.

There is an awfully lot to be considered in the decision to bring children into the world and “both sides” in our mainline debate absolutely refuse to deal with it for the silliest of reasons.

The problem, in part, is due to the tremendous shift in values of the Children of the Sixties.

They have no Cultural view past themselves, right NOW!

They do not see themselves as having obligations to anything more than being “themselves,” such as that is.

This lack of an intergenerational focus guarantees they will always fall into the ditch.

They like that part about “take no thought for the morrow,” because it provides Biblical approval for what they want to do.

The problem is, they never really READ the Bible, or they would see the Old Testament – the Ten Commandments, in particular (”adultery” meant RACIAL “adultery”), all move in the direction of a de facto cultural and personal program of flat-out Eugenics.

They like to talk about how the Bible condemns abortion.

In fact, it MANDATES it, in the case of Racial Purification – see Numbers 5: 24,25, where the woman who is married and has a child by a man other than her husband is MANDATED to have an abortion, given by the “priest,” “until the curse does come.”

This is what the contemporary practice of “Christianity” has done; it reduced all of Christianity to a sorely misunderstood message of “Love,” meaning either God’s is offering his unconditional approval, or His unconditional forgiveness.

No.

The entire meaning of “Love” is love of God, and demonstrating that love by doing what God wants you to do, regardless of what the social controllers want you to do.

Your Duty to your Race made it into the Ten Commandments.

AS I told one person, “If this God of Love is so forgiving, why did He wipe out Sodom AND Gomorrah – everything – people, plants, pets – EVERYTHING?”

The answer is obvious.

He chose us, placed us in the Spiritual Framework of a particular Race, and expected us to work within that Race, to make the Race a better tool for God, and the members of that Race.
