The Nobility of Reason and Value Nobility - The state or quality of being exalted in character. The human attributes which have built all civilization are reason and value. Reason is the ability to determine what is #SelfEvident about nature and the environment in which we find ourselves. It is also the ability to apply what is self-evident to one's benefit. #Value is the measure in which we interact. Offering of one's abilities or resources in exchange for another's abilities or resources. #Commerce. The exchange of value for value. Much of the public dialogue today is asking us as a civilization and as a people to abandon these qualities on which for thousands of years we have so much relied. It is an ignoble approach to the real problems and perceived problems that we must address. #Feelings are used in place of reason. #Greed is used in place of value. We have abandoned reason and value for #Irrationality and #Altruism. The language of division and jealousy are the tools of this philosophy. They are going completely against the founding principles of this nation. Where the characteristics of value and reason should be the focus. Dialogue has moved to attributes that are all focused on the accidents of birth. There is no choice in one's genetic makeup. Reason and value are attributes one can give oneself. It is only a matter of endeavoring to place the importance of these attributes within ourselves and recognize them in others.

There exists a law, not written down anywhere but inborn in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading but by derivation and absorption and adoption from nature itself; a law which has come to us not from theory but from practice, not by instruction but by natural intuition. I refer to the law which lays it down that, if our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right. -- Marcus Tullius Cicero #MarcusTulliusCicero, #GunControl, #RightoLife, #A2, #2ndAmendment, #SelfEvidentRight https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/03/02/joe-biden-taps-beto-orourke-to-lead-gun-control-effort/

The universe went to some effort to create life. When it did (at least on this planet) it created more different variations of life than we can imagine. Every human civilization that has existed created laws and customs centralized on creating and protecting life. Has our technology come to such a point where the conveniences afforded by our technology have become more important than what has been the driving force of human behavior? A behavior exhibited by every living thing. #FoundingPrinciples, #SelfEvident, #ProtectLife, #TheDiseaseofConvenience https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/02/25/senate-rejects-measures-to-protect-infants-born-and-unborn/
