Freedom, Liberty, Responsibility 8/27 04: 20 Hours
Freedom should be a dynamic, or spirited state of opening one's mind, a nay, or yea in deciphering an issue or dilemma. A person ( or political party) whose mind in full of prejudicial baggage or tainted with ideas and corrupting influence (vested interest) no longer possess freedom. Such distorting factors limited choices, and clouded thinking. Liberty requires not preconceived idea of superiority, which lead to servitude or domination, slavery. This compels the weaker people in class or status to act against their collective will, and interest. So we see Freedom, and Liberty are a form of property in a free society in need of reform, and betterment to become wiser and sustainable, just, and equitable. A lawful and moral people would be the sponsors of Freedom and Liberty, and a proper aspect of the abstract sense of true property as a collective enterprise.

Corporate money in politics has subverted the common for individual

Houses of Governance "government as intended" can not be set for a common-good in a corporate private interest of opposed to true property of the people, in a democratic intelligent humanity. Overall this must be the background of the laws of nature that must be operated within, as a common sense.

Elon Musk Cabal

The absurd upside-down and criminal actions that have occured in the purpose and sudden demise of government as an institution of civil society under the pretext that waste and inefficiency exists "only" in government, rather than corporate entities is ludacris and illogical, we see for example in just one case; single-use plastics how this stands naked. Waste is built into the system as profit, and trickle up.

Centralization Constitution Debates 1787-1789

Centralization strengthens us how could it not, the goal is leaders with integrity, and morality in wise and just laws. Strength not weakness comes from centralized unity, was not the constitutional dilemma in forming the Union from the States? Does not "social security" imply safety net, do we really mean economic security? Economic security comes from government , social security comes from community.

MAGA is total lack of Enlightened Restraint

Over the course of time in Western Society the function of government grew toward an "adulthood" in which the "general welfare" of the community became it's responsibility, behavior against a common-good, was monitored, and prevented, in particular to ensure weaker members of society be protected.

"We do not have a choice between an 'honest' privatisation and a 'dishonest' one, because an honest privatisation means clear rules imposed by a strong state that can enforce its laws.

Ideas of small government are not in keeping with the times and circumstances we face, as a people and a Planet in these times..We need good government now more than ever as the means proper.

A huge part of the problem is the Jeffersonian notion that" the government that governs best is the one that governs least". While it is true as regards individual liberties, it is absolutely dangerous to think that way as regards economy...

Trump's supporters bringing the the Project 2025 into existence amounts to the end of the republic, as the money power has replaced the reverence for life itself. In this both political parties are guilty in their disregard for the pursuit of a common-good outside market values, that benefit few, at the expense of many.

What project 2025 Musk, Trump and this gangster administration mean by "efficiency" in reducing, destroying government is the efficiency that mocks the whole, the common-good as government as intended. The waste and inefficiency however lies in the billionaires, who hoard money rather than use it as a public utility, while they in debt us, as they rape the tax base.
