Just let government take care of it... until you have no rights nor liberty left at all. Then the Rule of Law is replaced by the Law of Rules.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20372724.post-59812741605593173342007-12-26T11:54:00.000-05:002007-12-26T11:54:00.000-05:00Unfortunately for the bulk of us, the Left and Dem...Unfortunately for the bulk of us, the Left and Demorats wish merely to work on EMOTIONS. If it "feels" better for saying or advocating, then that's the appropriate course of action. Action? Did I write Action? Where is the ACTION (as you so aptly write) on the part of the signatories? I see LITTLE action. And in terms of emotions and feelings, let the facts themselves and those nasty little details be damned! Which proves one excellent point: how many people actually take the TIME to READ the TEXT of various treaties and to REALIZE what is actually OCCURRING in reality?<BR/><BR/>BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20372724.post-25082691626555929702007-12-26T10:11:00.000-05:002007-12-26T10:11:00.000-05:00Merry Christmas!'Talking Points' are soundbites, t...Merry Christmas!<BR/><BR/>'Talking Points' are soundbites, they do not properly encapsulate ideas. Nor do soundbites, and our being driven to ever smaller, ever simpler presentations of ideas is toxic to being able to think in a longer form.<BR/><BR/>The antidote is to give the pure, unadulterated stuff itself, and attempt to break the 'Limited Attention-span Theater Effect'.<BR/><BR/>Talking points are about yelling slogans.<BR/><BR/>Talking is about discourse and familiarizing oneself with the full extent and scope of things beyond 'talking points'. That talking *beyond* 'talking points' is attacked or ignored speaks to our paucity in ability to think.<BR/><BR/>That is fatal if it goes on to long.<BR/><BR/>Leads to 'not thinking' and just yelling 'talking points'. Then you can't be heard when someone is warning you a bus is about to make you street-pizza for the yelling is too loud...A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20372724.post-81383230463317487662007-12-26T10:01:00.000-05:002007-12-26T10:01:00.000-05:00Nice post.

The only problem is that those with just talking points cannot apprehend all the information you have provided because of the self-centered presuppositions. Very thorough!
