I am reading a book called: History of Philosophical Systems…
it is edited by Ferm… Published in 1965…
a group of writers write about various Philosophical systems from
the earliest times, it begins with the “Story of Indian Philosophy”
and works it way through various systems up to recent events like Pragmatism
and Logical Positivism and into recent events in Philosophy, well recent as
of 1965…
I thought about our American system and what is in that system…
we have a representative democracy and we have capitalism as our economic system
and we have three distinct and equal branches of government and we have as our basis
a equal justice system, whereas the symbol is the women wearing blindfold and
using a scale which means she judges blindly and without discrimination or benefit
to anyone…this is our American system writ large and not getting into the weeds
with all the other stuff that our system will entail…
now our system like any other system must be balanced, to work it must
be equal and fair and honest… the failure of our American system lies in the
fact that it has introduced chaos and uncertainty into our system and within
that chaos lies the means to threaten our American system…
think of our political system like the solar system… it works smoothly
and easily until something throw the system into chaos like for example,
let us say a planet comes into our solar system or a nearby sun has some
gravitational influence on our system that would throw our solar system into
chaos and make it unbalanced and threaten its equilibrium…
we have caused chaos and unbalanced into our system with rulings like
hobby lobby and citizens united and thus we have a system that is out of
balanced and we have justice that is no longer blind but she sees exactly
which people are on trial and money talks and justice walks…
we have threaten the system in large part by our own actions
and it is by our own actions we must save our system…
when politicians make millions of dollars from campaign contributions
and then get a small salary from American’s, who do you think the
politicians will listen to…the millions of dollars or the citizens
who put them there… there is no doubt who the politicians listen
to and answer to and it ain’t their constituents, that’s for sure…
the bottom line seems to be money and there where the danger of,
and the threat comes from, money influencing and changing
the dynamics of justice and the dynamics of democracy…
money makes the blindfolded lady see and makes justice becomes
a system of money, justice is simply the person with the most money,
and thus threatens the balance of the American system…
justice is no longer equal and justice is no longer practiced
from a position of blindness…
want to know how America is being threaten, it is money that
has unbalanced the American system
this morning it was reported that a homeless man asked a woman
to move her Porsche… and she shot him…how much you want to bet she
gets off scott free…better then even money, she doesn’t spend a day in jail…and
that is the new American justice system…money talks and justice walks…
you want to rail against something, try this inside of dumb discussions of
liberals and their alleged hatred of America… you want to fix America,
help fix the systems that have become corrupt and unbalanced, thus
threating American stability…
