Society: Centralized or Family-Centric

A thinking person!! Are you JoeNation's smart alter ego?

 

I'm not sure if you had caught this before, but I'm actually his son in real life!

 

Thank God! He created a thinking human!!

 

You don't trust businesses with your tax dollars? You don't need to, because you don't send your tax dollars to businesses to spend. Businesses are inherently frugal with their resources because the resources are theirs, and they are limited.

It is the government you should distrust because it is not their resources that they expend, and because the perception of government is that more resources can easily be found.

I am still interested in the family gene pool and whether or not it is a growing blob thing or not. Is Alfred related in some manner?

 

I think maybe there's been a generational skip . . . skipping over Gene Wrong to Gene Wright.

 

Is he a resident of JoeNation? Is Alfred a roommate?

 

Afraid I don't get the Alfred reference . . . at least not yet.

 

As in E. Neuman. Other thread. I was in an intelligent mentally stimulating discussion with member frydaddy (why do I get images of a deeply disturbed psychotic mass murderer when I see that tag?) and Yakpoo interfered and....well.....things got out of hand, and next thing you know, I had no choice but to give frydaddy a new tag, for protection of my sanity.
It sings, don't you think?

 

Ok, Ok, that part was embellished for the humor points only. I do that.

 

Oh, you mean Billary! I always thought that face looked familiar, but without the extra hair, the cackle and the slick husband I always had a hard time figuring out who it really was. Clever disguise, that.

 

In years past, a person's family was their "retirement plan". Folks would have large families in hopes that half might survive into adulthood. In other words, abortion wasn't an issue. When I lived in Korea, people there didn't have birthdays; they had 100 Day parties. I don't know about now, but before, live births weren't recorded with the government until the baby survived 100 days and people celebrate the date they reached 100 days old. That's the date their birth became "official".

When I think about my Korean experience, I can hear my Dad say..."I brought you into this world and I can take you out!" That made me realize that the issue really isn't about when life begins. It 's a question of when a person gains government (in our case, U.S. Constitutional) protections.

The Korean government didn't protect Life until the 100 day mark. My Father believed that point shouldn't occur until my 18th birthday. So, from this perspective, the question becomes..."At what point should U.S. Constitutional protections begin?" If not at conception, then when?
