Morpheal’s Commentary - March 19th, 2009 - Nuclear Good and Evil, There is No Work ?, Defending the Language, and Immigration, Migrants Bleeding Our Society to Its Death.
NUCLEAR GOOD AND EVIL: We must keep in clear mind that there are many technologies today, potentially more dangerous than nuclear in terms of their potential effects on human populations and their socio-economic basis, that can be turned either to good or to evil. We cannot deny a nation nuclear technology simply because we believe that they might use if for evil. Iran is a case in point. Would we prefer that Iran burn fossil fuels, such as crude petroleum and brown coal, the way some other areas of the world do, to generate electricity ? Some of eastern Europe is still burning brown coal for energy production. If we could have reasonably denied potential for evil use of technology to nations capable of developing and using it, we would long ago have denied nuclear technology to the USA and the USSR, as the beginning to a worldwide turn to the good and away from evil. Neither side is innocent, and each has its own variant of the same devil motivating its development of technologies of mass destruction and mass annihilation, with the willingness to use those technologies in the name of false ideals. The ideals are false because they do not serve the betterment and survival of humanity and its conditions of life on Earth. Good cannot be ascribed to what only serves death and destruction. If the United States claims innocence on that count, we must return to the fact that it was the United States that used nuclear weapons against Japan, spurring the east - west nuclear arms race into motion. If Hiroshima and Nagasaki had not been bombed, demonstrating willingness to use nuclear weapons, it is doubtful that the USSR would have sacrificed so very much to counter what was perceived as the increased American threat. THERE IS NO WORK THEY SAY ? BULLSHIT THERE IS PLENTY TO BE DONE. First list everything that is wrong in the nation, in society, needing change. Then beside that list, list everything that could be done to remedy all those wrongs. Then prioritize the list into what is most urgent and what can wait longer. After that you quickly realize there is absolutely no shortage of "work" to be done. There is only a shortage of piles of pieces of printed paper (money). That is the only scarce resource that world governments appear to be unable or unwilling to resolve. Then the responsibility of government begins, as to finding the means to provide sufficient piles of printed paper to facilitate all that work to be done as quickly as is reasonably possible. If governments lived up to that most essential responsibility no man or woman, willing and able to work would be without work, for many generations to come. There would be absolutely no unemployment for more years than anyone wants to count. DEFENDING THE LANGUAGE: Jargon came about because those who should take more responsibility and show leadership were unwilling or unable to take up the fight to defend the language against that and other forms of corruption. Language exists for communication of various types of truth, and all but the very artistic and literary, require clear, unambiguous common usage for the sake of maintaining real understanding, giving meaningful direction, and this maintains genuine freedom of expression. Jargon does none of that. EXCESSIVE IMMIGRATION, MIGRANTS AND OTHER GUESTS BLEEDING THE WOUNDED ECONOMY TOWARDS ITS DEATH: With so many citizens and landed immigrants out of work, and with poor prospects, deportation of all migrants who cannot show sufficient means to support themselves, without needing to take away much needed jobs from those others, should be mandatory and immediate. A system where students and other visitors must prove means and place money on monitored account to support their extended stay, should be implemented, to prevent detrimental effects upon permanent residents who ought to and must be given first chance and first entitlement to any opportunities that are available or might become available. It is absurd that migrants, temporary residents, with no commitment or real membership in a society can usurp and essentially rob those committed to membership from what should be an inalienable right as to prior chance. When every unemployed, needy, and wanting, citizen and landed immigrant, has been offered the chance, and has turned it down, only then should the door be open to a migrant. When every citizen and landed immigrant has been afforded the chance at education, and there are still places available to accommodate more students, only then should migrant students be given a chance to fill those places. Keeping in mind that citizens and landed immigrants should not experience a barrier to education that wealthy migrant students can overcome with foreign money. The poor within our own nations must have first chance, and be subsidized within our own, if they are willing and able to benefit themselves and our societies from the privilege of that education. Foreign students who are migrants, uncommitted to repaying our societies, even when they come on a cash basis, should always stand in second place, filling surplus opportunities, not buying away or simply taking away opportunities from citizens and landed immigrants. Too much wrong is being done to those who have committed to the society they live in, and who are struggling to remain and become full participants in it. A significant number of migrants engage in illegal, under the table, activities, in the underground economy, further reducing economic opportunity for the permanent members of a society. Some transfer some of that means to those outside the country, having even greater negative impact. Some take advantage of their exceptional legal status, knowing that being foreigners they can get away with more, without taking on as much risk as citizens and landed immigrants face. A new immigration policy is also necessitated that prevents new immigration into a nation if there are citizens and those already landed immigrants in that nation who are unemployed, and in need, to those opportunities that would be taken away from them by new immigrants. Immigration must become seen as limited to a nation’s actual needs for productive economic participants, where those needs cannot be filled by the existing population (inclusive of the further education of that population where and when necessitated), not as a continual challenge to the already scarce opportunity that confronts those who are already committed to membership. New immigrants ought never to be allowed into a society to take away needed economic opportunity from those who are already there and who are striving to remain, as members of that society. Much less those immigrants who are uncommitted to our society’s ideals and ways of life. And much less, migrants who share no such commitments whatsoever. When we are short of work and reasonably socially competitive means, for our own people, we cannot take on the added burdens of the world, and we cannot be expected to open our national doors to anyone and everyone who might choose, for whatever their own selfish reasons, to take advantage. It is coming to the extreme of absurdity as to our own citizens being driven out of their own country by the usurpation of what ought to be their opportunities first, before those are even offered to anyone else. Citizens should be first in line for opportunity, and not driven out of their own society, their own homes, and their own ways of life, by newcomers. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
