    150 in order to do all the things I want in life properly, butknow this wont happen. So Im hoping you too can savesome time by being prepared. Then you can come back to a

    book and have things in seconds. This is only a firstdraught... I have no big pay off or fancy publisher, but if I gegood sales, I shall invest in tidying up and re-structuring thebook. I need to know there is a good reason to put extrainvestment into something. But I convey all I need to and Iknow it is of a huge benefit as well as being cheap andhaving years of research into it ^_^. I do intend to tidy upand revise and refine the book if there is a viable interest inthis topic and subject from sales... but as of yet I am selffunding and time is precious. Thank you! ^_^

    A New Patriotism?...

    Patriotism is an important, mature and interesting subjectand so is integrity.

    I feel today they are amongst the most misperceived,contentious, and consequentially important subjects forsociety, individuals, functionality and of great benefit.

    I will start by reeling off a few short parts of needs andwishes for the people by some Presidents of America...

    President, Ronald Reagan talked about the need for a newpatriotism in his last speech http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiSyGi7IQvk. It goes like this...This national feeling is good, but it won't count for much,

    and it won't last unless it's grounded in thoughtfulness andknowledge. An informed patriotism is what we want. And arewe doing a good enough job teaching our children whatAmerica is and what she represents in the long history of theworld? Those of us who are over 35 or so years of age grewup in a different America. We were taught, very directly,what it means to be an American. And we absorbed, almostin the air, a love of country and an appreciation of itsinstitutions. If you didn't get these things from your family,you got them from the neighbourhood, from the father down

    the street who fought in Korea or the family who lostsomeone at Anzio. Or you could get a sense of patriotismfrom school. And if all else failed, you could get a sense ofpatriotism from the popular culture. The movies celebrateddemocratic values and implicitly reinforced the idea thatAmerica was special. TV was like that, too, through the mid-sixties. But now, we're about to enter the nineties, and somethings have changed. Younger parents aren't sure that an

    unambivalent appreciation of America is the right thing to

  • 8/12/2019 Love and the Things You Didn't Know but Needed to

    9/80

    teach modern children. And as for those who create thepopular culture, well-grounded patriotism is no longer thestyle. Our spirit is back, but we haven't reinstitutionalized it.We've got to do a better job of getting across that America isfreedom--freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom ofenterprise. And freedom is special and rare. It's fragile; itneeds [protection]. So, we've got to teach history based noton what's in fashion but what's important--why the Pilgrimscame here, who Jimmy Doolittle was, and what those 30seconds over Tokyo meant. You know, 4 years ago on the40th anniversary of D-Day, I read a letter from a young

    woman writing to her late father, who'd fought on OmahaBeach. Her name was Lisa Zanatta Henn, and she said,"We will always remember, we will never forget what theboys of Normandy did." Well, let's help her keep her word. Ifwe forget what we did, we won't know who we are. I'mwarning of an eradication of the American memory thatcould result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit.Let's start with some basics: more attention to Americanhistory and a greater emphasis on civic ritual. And let meoffer lesson number one about America: All great change inAmerica begins at the dinner table. So, tomorrow night inthe kitchen, I hope the talking begins. And children, if yourparents haven't been teaching you what it means to be anAmerican, let 'em know and nail 'em on it. That would be avery American thing to do.

    So it seems we have agreement with a U.S. president thatthis is what is needed. It certainly seems like thegenerational cultural identity needs to be reinforced in asensitive, clever and righteous way mixing the solidity of theold ways with the freedoms of the new ways in anuncontentious per se way... which takes into account thebest for human growth of mind and spirit. Many of the worlds

    doesnt actually occur till as late the early thirties in manyand this is instrumental to benefiting healthy, sociablehuman beings, except when it is not known or taken intoaccount. Youngsters growing in an ever confusing morecomplicated and over stimulated world and maybe its notbeing policed per se or managed to the best of effect, andwe all have a duty to be part of the success of the young...they are sensitive, vulnerable and reactive. Emotional expertDr Daniel Goleman in his book emotional intelligence feelsthat schooling should address emotional training foryoungsters for example. Even if it just saves one in ten

    people from turning in to the school shooting infamy andtragedy or the bullycide. Training children to recognise theirown inner problems and give them confidence andknowledge to know who to approach and speak to, and achance to self correct instead of repress, regress and fearexplicitly or emotionally. A sense of voluntary value andpersonal esteem gained from giving, and the skills to becapable and of benefit in a local time of need. To have theability of self sufficiency and confidence with the wildernessand nature and to have a respect and knowledge ofsensitive eco-systems. In times of need... if we do notmanage our tree supply, people may selfishly panic towardsselfishness and everyone forgets to replant, coppice and thesuch and perhaps there will be no wood for some time tocome (same to be said for the world economy! Moneydoesnt grow on trees right!). Volunt ary medical work, civildefence projects, emergency planning and the likes shouldbe committee style in parallel to existing departments... sopeople have a working knowledge and a localneighbourhood contingency for any would be problems, justin case there is an oversight... its also good for your localauthorities reputation. Survivalism, bush crafts, self defence,money management, business setting up, charity

    network and infrastructure of support to cater in the event ofeconomic emergencies. All these things lead to responsibleindividuals who gain experience and sound understandingof how a nation needs to work. These skills can go on to puthese new young aware leaders into positions in thecorporate workplace (within the righteous terms of faircompetition and equality for jobs), giving them a broadawareness and diversity to adapt and overcome andsetbacks and curve balls. And a community behind them insupport if that should happen as they go out in the world. Ifthey dont have that, its more likely they will conform to

    fears and sell out to wage slavery rather than a sense ofremuneration for performed duties per se... they need aspring board of understanding, time and love, and they needto know it is there! What of other things like education infamily planning/awareness, running a home and the likelypitfalls of doing so? Are you living in a community whichfacilitates this to good effect, and how do you know? Maybeyour community needs leadership? For every thing a parentdoesnt address for children in their education, there is apitfall of pain and effort per se waiting to happen. Who willthe youngsters turn to if there is? I hope to publish myfinding for research on child raising... with so many schoolsof thought, styles, ways, assertions... and hundreds ofbooks... it is by far the hardest subject I have tackled... andwith society changing all the time and new professionalassertions coming out seemingly every year... it can bedeemed a headache and cause a lot of people a feeling ofrepulsion to tackling the subject (which I dont blame themfor and do understand did you get much education in thissubject?) but I will sieve through to a point of reliefknowing I have done my best to do so and to simplify myfindings and share them like I am doing here.

    President FDR called for "a world-wide reduction of

  • 8/12/2019 Love and the Things You Didn't Know but Needed to

    12/80

    12

    armaments" as a goal for "the future days, which we seek tomake secure" but one that was "attainable in our own timeand generation." More immediately, though, he called for amassive build-up of U.S. arms production: "Every realistknows that the democratic way of life is at this momentbeing' directly assailed in every part of the world The needof the moment is that our actions and our policy should bedevoted primarily almost exclusively to meeting this foreignperil. [T]he immediate need is a swift and driving increasein our armament production. I also ask this Congress forauthority and for funds sufficient to manufacture additional

    munitions and war supplies of many kinds, to be turned overto those nations which are now in actual war with aggressornations. Let us say to the democracies: 'We shall sendyou, in ever-increasing numbers, ships, planes, tanks, guns. '"- Franklin D. RooseveltThe Four Freedoms were goals articulated by US PresidentFranklin D. Roosevelt on January 6, 1941. In an addressknown as the Four Freedoms speech (technically the 1941State of the Union address), he proposed four fundamentalfreedoms that people "everywhere in the world" ought toenjoy:

    Freedom of speech and expression Freedom of worship Freedom from want Freedom from fear

    His inclusion of the latter two freedoms went beyond thetraditional US Constitutional values protected by its First Amendment, and endorsed a right to economic security andan internationalist view of foreign policy. They alsoanticipated what would become known decades later as the

    "human security" paradigm in social science and economic

    of Johnson's speeches, became Johnson's agenda forCongress in January 1965: aid to education, attack ondisease, Medicare, Medicaid, urban renewal, beautification,conservation, development of depressed regions, a wide-scale fight against poverty, control and prevention of crime,and removal of obstacles to the right to vote. Congress, attimes augmenting or amending, enacted most of Johnson'srecommendations. After the Great Society legislation of the1960s, for the first time a person who was not elderly ordisabled could receive a living from the Americangovernment.

    I think this tackles the subject of some ex Presidents rallyingsentiment of a New Patriotism and it seems they still verymuch apply to the world we live in right now!

    Som e perspective...

    It is our duty to ourselves and others to make clear somebase points about this subject... with things like the worry ofchanges and a surface of the patriot act, we can protectourselves by clearly knowing how to be in the right, andmanaging to be obviously so ^_^. After all we have the rightto justice per se... this is how we can take that rightrighteously. One only has to watch a court room proceedingfrom the many available on you tube... to get an easy picture

    about judgement in proceedings. (cutting all personal,emotive and other contentions from the debate). Basicallyhaving a clear perspective and keeping good records inmind and otherwise. Sit down and do a video diary of yourday try to get it truthful first time with no gaps in speech..only allowing time to think, and then watch it back, see howmany things occur in your mind that make you realise... thatit is a little wrong here or there. It IS a natural occurrence.keep a notepad to write down any contentions in my day...not to use against others, that would not be justice, andthere would be consequences and nor would I ignore achild needing help in the street or a lady in need per se... Iam an altruist, but I am trained very well in mind, heart,negotiating and communication in such a way as to act likea sponge to many heated topics, plus I have the letter of thelaw behind me. Such Books as Justifiable Force: ThePractical Guide to the Law of Self Defence by Lawyer andblack belt Rob Manning, Vital Lies, Simple Truths: ThePsychology of Self- Deception by Dr Daniel Goleman aleading authority on human emotion and such... and I havewritten my own book on such an elusive subject, and I haveintegrated such knowledge into my own practice andexperience till it is habit, I work with it every day in my o

    life... I digress... back to the point. Should I righteously need

    to use such skills, the truth is that until I know for a fact whatperspectives, mind skew or delusion are per se... Im in noposition to say I have clear validity in saying something istrue. I have written about perspective and truth psychology,and a CGI film gives a good example of what Im talkingabout, its called hoodwinked. Each of the severalcharacters has evidence that their story is true, but they allhave different perspectives. Any judge on TV or otherwisecould basically tell the difference between someone whohas command of these perspectives and those who dont.Another piece of evidence would be the short film about/by

    Noam Chomsky called Manufacturing Consent: ThePolitical Economy of the Mass Media , it shows just howinformation looses integrity per se. We are human...everybody has capacities and it has been said that everyonehas an autistic, though not debilitating ones. Lets explain itfor the sake of argument that seemingly everybody likes tohold the moral high ground, or be or feel they are right... oran alter party on a matter is at least in the wrong... its part of

    human nature. As Dr John Gottman expresses in his bookWhy marriages succeed or fail ... in heated or pressureddebates/matters... our body chemistry clouds our judgement... plus we may have added elements of fight orflight happening or a debilitating feeling from subject matter.I run a small debate group on facebook Ethical DebateForum... and one thing I have learned is that simply talkingto sort things out isnt going to provide much of a goodsetting for results. Proper things need to be in place, liketerms to how things will be conducted and such... andcontentious matters should be discussed freely withopportunity to be prepared, so a first meeting to discusswhat is wanted from both parties, then a chance to go awayand get things on paper that address the matter. There alsohas to be a list of questions you need addressed and room

    to make notes in between. I have contested in meetings

    including national corporation security and againstcontentions towards a big multinational company (the bullyline ran through our security department), and I have won alarge case by myself over six months. My attitude was to domy best for all people, not to desire any personal gain(though I was remunerated by them as an apology), and Iaimed to be clear and concise at all times taking it slowlyand calmly, having faith in truth and crossing any hurdles ifthey arose, breathing slowly and deeply and using the bodychemistry situation as a good tool for focus (mentioned inmy meditation book 8 simple meditations). Being

    interpersonally just, fair, honest paid off, regardless offeelings , contentions and such. A further contention is thatthe words we use may be misperceived and even slightlycan cause a miscarriage. So clarify the other personsunderstanding at all times there seems to be a hurdle inproceedings. With words it is also a problem if we cannotuse words which add clarity with dimension, specificity andthe such... which are well understood from our end to beclearly so. Language can cause so much of a problem...since many words do not exist that say what we want to sayin a fashion which cannot be contentiously provocative,people can gravitate on extreme negative words like hate orlove to navigate what they are saying... when in actual fact itis not the specific truth... they are voicing the expression ofan event or subject without realizing the truth which we have just discussed, they do not realize the importance, orgamble doing it their way to get a motive of a gain, or theymay have a vulnerable capacity and not be able to defendtheir ground with words out of true innocence. Getting theright perspective with what we have just talked about, cangive us an edge of breathing space and justice and make usof better benefit to others, it will also lend us true confidencewhich can be felt and seen by others and it will remove

    many unnecessary knock on problems that arise from not

    having these interactive habits. Which may include beingwound up to the point of anger, victim mentality,defensiveness, hatred, anxiety and the such. You need todraw up an action plan for you... so that you can have this inyour life.

    Definitions of patriotism

    Firstly I want you to erase any ideas that you have of whapatriotism is... its always important to question all things inthis way (Given that youre not at risk in doing so!). we aregoing to build a picture of what they are, and yes Im usingpatriotism in a pluralistic way... referring to it as athey ... amultiple of objects per se. We are going to discuss howtheyinteract across society. We are going to discuss what fairand righteous and any compromises we might lend in

    thinking. It will include things one might associate at firstwith the word patriotism... like for example national defence,but it will also include the positive fabric in society in itvalue... family and relationships for one, economy, town andinteraction.

    I feel far too many okay people end up in trouble becausethey dont have clear definitions, and therefore have a

    dysfunctional interaction with the subject with negativeconsequences like provoking bad feelings, falling out.Hatred, spite and bullying. I feel far too many exploitpatriotism for bullying and looking down on others and thistaints the view of patriotism as well as gives the subject abad and reactive understanding and name, it is also notmature! Giving patriotism a bad name causes a need forsocial self protective avoidance, which in turn leaves thosewishing to assert it even more frustrated because they seeothers shying away from their passionate sentiment. A circleof self validating skewed perception occurs and truth and justice are compromised One thing we are going to do islook at it from a universal national stand point. Which canperceive the justice for all in its context per se in a shallowbut hopefully solid fashion just to give us a standpoint.

    In a court of law... the term verbatim is used. It is a word forword account... a recording of a conversation is a verbatimaccount. We can have a verbatim knowledge if wecomprehend, use and incorporate the terms in thedictionary... these are in writing and cannot be contested.We can also have other extended understandings whichhave special communicative value across professions. It willbe evident who has made an effort as an individual to takethe time and see the value in using this process. It lendssome credit to have taken the time to do these things so asnot to hinder those who move swiftly through a subject ofdiscussion, and helps to keep away ears that may not bemature enough to be up to speed.

    We will use the model of the USA in the discussion becauseof the events surrounding the formation of the U.S.A. whichwas the need to fight for freedom from tyranny. This may notbe exactly correct in fact or order but it is the principles ofthe formation of the USA which I address and express. In anut shell, both France and the British Empire were stealingAmerican merchant ships and press ganging innocentneutral citizens in their paranoid campaigns. They bothsuspected innocent colonials as being a potential threat,since they expressed an abhorrence towards what bothsides were doing it was seen as likely dissent and a problem

    which needed to be addressed. They were mostly farmersand farm/sea/town related craftspeople since there was awealth of new land and need to work it... (of course therewere all the other usual types of positions in towns, butpeople still felt colonial and had less time of establishmentthan France or Britain per se) People were being demandedupon by both sides stuck between a rock and a hard placeper being expected to be patriotic towards by both sides as

    well as having the pains and sufferings that came with thehostile lands per se. Campaigns towards economic andterritorial victory by both sides threatened and drove peoplecrazy till some people with knowledge said enough isenough. One of the banners of protest at the time expresseddont tread on me , and bore a picture of a serpent. If youtread on a serpent because you did not show care... then itbites... thats the nature of it. Those farmers were used to agut wrenching living working those fields... being used tocrops being devastated by rain and fire and still carryingon... they had a strength of body and mind in them that

    modern men do not possess today. It was all done by handand horse! People gave everything they had... it wasntpossible to give more. (Farming, logging and fisheries todayare still in THE top four dangerous professions as well aslight aircraft flying. http://www.businessinsider.com/most-dangerous-jobs-2011-9#no-4-farmers-and-ranchers-12 ) Itturned out these simple, old fashioned, hardworking, familyand newly found freedom loving people would go on tostave off the most potent and hardened, well organisedmilitary mights in the world. The French and British forcesruled with a heavy hand and strict harshness and sure thismotivates their men into performance for fear of theconsequences. But love of family, and the heaven sentopportunity of freedom, seeing that violence is not therighteous way and knowing that it is worth making asacrifice to protect a good thing... I can relate to it. There issomething solid about having a chance to have a family,raising them well, having good food on the table and a bedto sleep in and living in a modicum of freedom, happinesswithout tyranny, thats draws an extra breath out of a personwhere before they could muster none. It is an amazinglygood deal! A far better deal than a meal and not being shotfor speaking out against unrighteousness as would likely

    have been at an extreme in the European armies. Those

    farmers and craftspeople worked far harder and didnt havethe luxury of having a garrison and being fully armed with asmall army for confidence. Plus there was the native Indiansto worry about... many were very upset towards settlers! Itseems to me that the colonials werent being patriotic perse... they were doing the right thing for their families andfutures and making a moral assertion. The constitution wasdrawn up in 1776. The United States Declaration ofIndependence (1776) succinctly defined the rights of man asincluding, but not limited to, "Life, liberty, and the pursuit ofhappiness" which later influenced "libert, galit, fraternit"

    (liberty, equality, fraternity) in France. Liberty (as defined byone of President G.W.Bushs advisors) in the book onLiberty By John Stewart Mill expresses that perhaps themost memorable point made by Mill in this work, and hisbasis for liberty, is that "over himself, over his own body andmind, the individual is sovereign". Mill is compelled to makethis assertion in opposition to what he calls the "tyranny ofthe majority", wherein through control of etiquette andmorality, society is an unelected power that can do horrificthings. A life lived by those values is truly worth beingpatriotic about. When lived distinctly by the terms of theirmeaning they are a true blessing I have found in modernday terms and something worth being patriotic about.

    New definitions for patriotism

    A patriot clearly flies their colours on matters, theystick to a course only changing when they canvalidate doing so. They are clear about who they are,the values they love and will accommodate others inthe same way. Though we must accept for ourselvesand others a learning position... since it is notpossible to have knowledge of all matters, we maynot have need or priority for certain matters and may

    not have yet needed to address or have had it raisedto us. They will not be fixed and unmoving like afascist, but reliably solid and moveable on matters.We may have a higher level of knowledge but if weclose the door to possible others having furtherpieces we close off like a fascist. If army general ordoctor asserted to their subordinate not express theirsolution when it indeed was the best sure fire solutionand this had come to be the accepted groupbehaviour which is far to common, then it would costthat leader, which in turn costs others. We have aduty to keep information open up and down the chain.

    A patriot would be a person who campaigns on a

    national or social level and has attained a clearvictory or attempts in the peoples interests of justice,social fairness, equality, righteous gain, quality of life,economic defence (without which there are noresources to spend for any defence social orotherwise).

    Volunteering is a patriot act

    It is patriotic to seek help when in difficulty, to shareproblems and escalate them where needed, and togo through all lengths while doing so. Councillors,Partners, Doctors, psychiatrists, advisors. Beingprepared to do whatever you can in order to knowthat you have done everything you can. I like Billybob Thornton in Friday night lights Well it's realsimple: You got two more quarters and that's it. Nowmost of you have been playin' this game for tenyears. And you got two more quarters and after thatmost of you will never play this game again as longas you live. Now, ya'll have known me for awhile, andfor a long time now you've been hearin' me talk aboutbeing perfect. Well I want you to understandsomethin'. To me, being perfect is not about thatscoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's aboutyou and your relationship to yourself and your familyand your friends. Being perfect is about being able tolook your friends in the eye and know that you didn'tlet them down, because you told them the truth. Andthat truth is that you did everything that you could.There wasn't one more thing that you could've done.Can you live in that moment, as best you can, with

    clear eyes and love in your heart? With joy in yourheart? If you can do that gentlemen, then you'reperfect. I want you to take a moment. And I want youto look each other in the eyes. I want you to put eachother in your hearts forever, because forever's aboutto happen here in just a few minutes. I want you toclose your eyes, and I want you to think about BoobieMiles, who is your brother. And he would die to be out

    there on that field with you tonight. And I want you toput that in your hearts. Boys, my heart is full. Myheart's full.

    Team playing, truthfulness, honesty (yes there is adifference between the two), openness, sociabilityare all patriotic.

    A person who make a self sacrifice of time or their

    liberty can be counted as being patriotic. (A personwho lends their liberty in patriotic sacrifice putsthemselves in a position of personal physical risk.)

    Doing a public service which directly protects life is apatriotic service... which may be paid or voluntary.

    A person who can tolerate the boring, difficult, lesswell paid better so than average is being patriotic...since without them most of us might otherwise findourselves in this position. Imagine if all the low wageworkers strike... who would fill the shelves and do thedeliveries... they rarely protest and many leaders findthey are not of the calibre of tolerance to do so.Undercover boss U.S.A. is a great example... thewhite castle episode said it clearly... the C.E.O.recognised that expectations were not physicallypossible and he was a clear leader and winner, thushe was not happy. Though it is also patriotic to strike,since if workers allow the economy to divide to far, it

    can be impossible or seemingly so to fix. Low wages

    mean less tax revenue. Higher Property and rentprices means worse hurt to landlords if thegovernment decides the reigns must be pulled in fromthis angle. Low wage threatens the landlords gettingtenants. Low wage threatens the amount of available jobs since a person may work 2 or 3 just to breakeven. Low wage workers protect federal revenuesand property owners. Businesses sometimes becomecomplacent, delusional or indifferent to their part inthe patriotic circle.

    A person who cares about their country, community,people is a patriot... a person who does a disserviceto these is not, (yet it would not be patriotic to sayso... it may spark some anger or cascade a set ofevents which may harm or cost others.)

    A person who will openly make extra effort yet not beexploitative is patriotic.

    A person who blindly asserts they are patriotic is not.People exploit the word and the implication which is

    dangerous... it can become a common misperceptionand lead to corruption per se in minds and hearts. Apatriot will be able to openly and non-aggressivelyexplain or validate what it is to be one and will beable to discuss and cogitate if they were wrong abouta point (though their information may have provenotherwise till the new information came up.) and takeit forward to change it. Patriotism required some solidfluidity.

    Definitions for Integrity.

    This is just a little more elaborated on but basically based onthe dictionaries terms for the definition...

    Being patriotic in a flexible and pro-active waysocially, economically, sacrificial or contributory way.

    Being sincere open and genuine. (This doesnt meanyou cant have fun, have a sense of humour I likebloopers like the office or park and recreation, I canlaugh at Chris rock, and when I hear will Ferrellbloopers... when he seems like he is making up forhis childhood upsets... he cant contain himself, andbeing a switched on empathic person I choke withlaughter with him, Its tough to be serious while

    saying ridiculous things. Even though I KNOW thereare serious contentions in subject content, because Itruly know and understand why I truly do not live,action or approve those contents, if its not hurtinganothers liberty, I cry laughing... thats good for me.)Its hard at first finding humour in the world, but weshould never use others as a subject for humoureven accidently.

    Having freedom from feelings and decision choices ofprejudice or bias is an act of integrity. Stereotyping isone thing to be introspective about. Removing pre-conceived concluded thoughts of sexes, cultures,roles, information etc. It WILL let you down, though

    you may be innocent and not intending harm, if you

    do not work on this as an individual. The addedpressure again is that from time to time we can getcould up in nice environments which coincidentallyget you to let your guard down and you end upflowing in the wrong direction, though notunrightously, certainly also not righteously. Agreeingwith a boss about something contentious, maybe anoff the cuff comment that locals all seeminglystereotype. It is then easy and usual for them to seeYOU to be awkward or out of character, because yousay something about them doing so at a later date...

    they will see you as proven to be of faulty characterwhether you are right or wrong. There will be knockon effects for holding the line on integrity, but you willbe able to see what you need to do to steer thoseproblems for the next time. However if you try tosneak past the issue by fitting in and beingaccommodating, there will still be knock on effectsbut there will be the added ambiguities of having tocontest things on a bad footing, and the knock onsare not all obvious of clear, which can lead on toother knock ons like anger, angst, despair, hatred...which in turn cause knock ons, relation break ups,and hurt for ourselves and little ones. You can atleast have closure with integrity and have all theblocks in place to win righteously.

    Adherence to moral conformity and to understandingand removing the doubts of ethical principles and theability to communicate them in validation andcontested issues. (one must have a very good andwell thought out validation on matters withoutknowingly having flaws or errors, and be maturely

    able to take on board new ones if a wiser person onthe subject shows us a better validation. Withoutfeeling hatred anger or angst.)

    Being uncorrupted and honest. This is very difficult inthe modern setting. We are living in a mixed wordwhich is hard to hold integrity. There is a lot ofbolshevism in society and the market economy. (seearticle on bolshevism) Every one of us should has aposition to which they can be held as not being so. Ifwe are truly being misperceived or misrepresented asto this, It is patriotic to ourselves to ride out thenegative feelings that it arises (this is a Bolsheviktactic to arise a flaw which can be used against youfrom a principle standpoint.), and to ask forclarification on all of the tiniest points and claimsbeing made. If a person cannot explain as to whythey say it is so, then you are not at fault and you canignore what has been said without fear. You shouldbe able to be very clear on paper as to exact detailsof proceedings and facts of matters. All dealingsshould be expressed in a fashion which defends the justice of others, and we should look to account forany mitigations or compassionate requirements. (Aboss has trouble at home, baby has keep a family

    sleepless, the company hasnt pa ssed a good budgetto the team manager, the team member has aphobia. [beware not to have a good understandingof these compassionate matters can lead to a fault foryou, but having them will do you justice and provide aclear and crisp evidence to others. But it will beobvious if this is not sincere and just a manipulativedefence.] So learn up on potential phobias and learn

    32

    to spot them. Since others are not manipulating themby assertion, you can see that you are in a safeposition to do so, and you are doing justice to thosearound you, whilst being meritous... this is patriotic.)

    Having clarity in understanding on especially mattersof principle and social matters or other matters lendsto our total integrity.

    Having rectitude which means rightness of principle, judgement or conduct lends to our overall integrity.

    Being righteous... which means lawfully observant, justifiable, acting in an upright, genuine way, andconsequentially acceptant towards rectifying actionsone was responsible for which fall short of social,economic and lawful requirements as well as justones.

    If you know and can prove that you have these things thenyou have integrity. If you have integrity then you are alsofree to have the right to Liberty. Having Liberty means thatas long as you hurt no-one else in your day to day living...you are allowed to influence and assert to others (includinggroups and authority figures no matter what they say [sinceyou have the integrity to validate and have tested yourselfagainst societal, lawful (UK rights and Laws for dummies),social sensibilities (emotional and social intelligence DanielGoleman and other required reading to be found at the

    Psychologist have defined needs and have basically shownby todays standards the social and economic costs as wellas the welfare costs of differing attitudes to differences,ways we relate, ways we behave, causes of behaviour,needs for change and reasons, ways we should be

    sensitive, reasons we should be so. Its like a study in theplains of Africa with the beasts roaming. The antelope willeat grass, move around, drink and follow natures path...except they didnt get trained at school in spotting the oddcrocodile or lion in the grass. There are a mass of greatpsychologists out there who want you to get it and to getthere your way , they respect individuality and nature andfreedoms. They are not controlling, stupid, exploitative andthe such. Maslows pyramid is one such thing... he says weall need the following things.

    At the bottom of the pyramid are the Basic needs orPhysiological needs of a human being, food andwater and sex. (best see my book love and all thethings you didnt know but needed to.)

    The next level is Safety Needs: Security, Order, andStability. These two steps are important to thephysical survival of the person. Once individuals havebasic nutrition, shelter and safety, they attempt toaccomplish more.

    The third level of need is Love and Belonging, which

  • 8/12/2019 Love and the Things You Didn't Know but Needed to

    37/80

    37

    are psychological needs; when individuals havetaken care of themselves physically, they are ready toshare themselves with others, such as with familyand friends.

    The fourth level is achieved when individuals feelcomfortable with what they have accomplished. Thisis the Esteem level, the need to be competent andrecognized, such as through status and level ofsuccess.

    Then there is the Cognitive level, where individualsintellectually stimulate themselves and explore.

    After that is the Aesthetic level, which is the needfor harmony, order and beauty.[11]At the top of the pyramid, Need for Self -

    actualization, occurs when individuals reach a stateof harmony and understanding because they haveachieved their full potential.[12]Once a person hasreached the self actualization state they focus onthemselves and try to build their own image. Theymay look at this in terms of feelings such as selfconfidence or by accomplishing a set goal.[13]

    We all have basic needs, and react when abandoned intoharshness before we mature, we all function better with asafer environment and with some wealth to have fun, playand love... and we all need a basic respect and love andacceptance of some kind, and we are all vulnerable whenweak, down or on a losing streak, or have over invested ourlove without a fair return. Its patriotic to recognise this.

    say any style of leaders can be irresponsible these days!]Its nice to see china being a market economy for oneexample... the world feels a lot friendlier than when I was achild.)I digress... the article on Bolshevism in the Harvard Crimsononline goes like this...

    "The Bolshevik is not insane, but he is perverted", is theopinion of Richard Eaton '12, international correspondentand author, who recently returned to Boston after beingimprisoned in, then sentenced to death in, then banished

    from Russia. To live with them one must be a Bolshevikalso.

    The reasoning of a Bolshevik is beyond the understandingof healthy people and nations. Even before the war theRussians were eccentric. At one moment the Russian wasthe polished European, strongly under the influence ofFrench civilization; and a moment later he was the suave,but savage Oriental from Central Asia. It was this constantstruggle between the East and West whose outwardmanifestations made the Russian so difficult to understand."

    The CRIMSON reporter asked Mr. Eaton if the Russianpeople were fundamentally at fault. "No, before therevolution, the Russian were perfectly normal, his work wasas good as that of any other European. As soon as Europeunderstands these people, the political and social conditionsin Russia will cause little surprise."

    "But," asked the reporter, "do you not resent the crueltreatment they gave you?"

    Odd Bolshevik Psychology

  • 8/12/2019 Love and the Things You Didn't Know but Needed to

    "Since I have learned to appreciate the psychology of theBolsheviks, I bear them no more resentment for the harshtreatment which I myself received at their hands then Ishould if I had suffered bodily injury from a man under theinfluence of cocaine. They are subject to the most absurdfantasies whose source may be the simplest of facts. TheBolsheviks have a lively imagination, they can start withnothing and arrive at the most exciting conclusion."

    Mr. Eaton has had many intimate talks with the politicalleaders in Russia and in the Baltic states and has in this way

    reached very sane conclusions as to the character of theBolsheviks. One of the most dramatic incidents was hisappearance before "Simanova, the Merciless", the mostdreaded woman in all Russia and chief of the foreigndivision of the Cheka, the secret society whose acts ofterrorism have horrified the world. "You must always lie inthe Cheka", said Mr. Eaton, "for if you tell the truth they witake you as a spy."

    Meets Kemal Pasha

    A distinction held by this correspondent is that of being thefirst one to obtain a personal interview with Kemal Pasha.As a result of this he was commissioned by the latter tocarry unofficially the Turkish peace to King Constantine ofGreece.

    Mr. Eaton then told the reporter of the difficulties underwhich primary and secondary school education isconducted. "There is a tacit understanding that nothing shallbe done to hinder the absolute liberty of young peoples'morals. The same arguments are advanced for the laxity ofthe discipline in the schools

    I saw a documentary which was 30 years on in Russia andthe woman interviewed expressed and self believinglyasserted that she was taught to know that absolute truth. Itis apparent in my studies of how this information was notknown 30 years ago in the west and I have alreadyexplained about skewed perceptions. This absolutism is acommon belief of the mores, (folkways of central importanceaccepted without question and embodying the fundamentalmoral views of a group.) it can be mis-perceived as beingtrue, and in my experience with strong eastern Europeansnew to the European work place, it is apparent in my

    interactions that they only discuss from the subject footingaround there belief base and in an unseen way, and isalmost impossible to make progress against in anydiscussion from any point of view. I think this may be a newthreat in and amongst freedom... with so many new ways,constrictions, stimulations, choices, confusions... many insociety could be becoming a Bolshevik element embeddingamongst society quite innocently but rusting away at themetal. There are also a couple of other types coming out insociety... those who use the method of diversity tolerance asa social and interactive glue in order to avoid the contention,stress, pain and consequences of addressing it, and thosewho use fence sitting, ignorance, narcissism or avoidancethough they may have repressed feelings on societal, socialand interactive matters.

    There will always be different types and my other new book(may be out soon if not already), tackles this subject morehead on. Its called owning the unseen forces and beastswithin and around. Whichever your natural tendancy... (AndI do respect and aspire to freedoms so I do so without judgement... or malice,)... we all might as well make the ridefairer and happier for as many of us as we can, and I can

    see how each of the four types... Bolshevik, openly and

  • 8/12/2019 Love and the Things You Didn't Know but Needed to

    43/80

    43

    honestly democratic, diversity tolerant and narcissistic canbe from a purely innocent stand point so I dont want you tofeel bad or wrong if your natural grain turned out the way ihas. Some of us are born into poverty, misery, and thesuch... we arent all lucky to win lifes birth lottery of support,but this doesnt mean you cant decide to turn your shiparound at whatever speed comfortable and try to get into orhead towards or aspire to the democratic camp... per se.

    There are other social science terms which define thesephenomenons. At the time the alternative to democracy was

    communism... so at the time democracy was a proudsubject and integrity was everything..(like President Reagansaid we have to re-integrate it, and allow for modern daysocial affectionsstyles of individuality which are popularper se, lifestyle choices and loves.). Democracy was beingadvertised and sold as the best political system. Themodern era still has the same problems addressed by theoriginal presidents and founders... the era of JS Mill, thefindings and assertions of F D Roosevelt in his fourfreedoms of Freedom of speech and expression, Freedomof worship, Freedom from want, Freedom from fear. (Thesewere findings during and after the second world war. Andour human rights were put in place to prevent the atrocitiesfrom re-surfacing per se.)

    Mill's work could be considered a reaction to this socialcontrol by the majority and his advocacy of individualdecision-making over the self. The famous Harm Principle,or the principle of liberty, is also articulated in this work: thestate or any other social body has no right to coerce orrestrict the individual unless the individual causes harm toothers, crucially, the individual's own physical or moral harmis not justification for constriction of their liberty. Modern day

    officers may be trained to deem someone as a threat to

    others... and this is justifiable! Dont be talked out of this!

    Some boundaries for judgement or non-judgement betweenmaturing patriots

    No one type of patriotic behaviours has an absolute rightover others, though we can deem a status of proportionatemerit in our thinking (done more patriotically and maturely toput others merit first.) or freely expressed but selectivelyunshared feelings. It shows patriotism AND maturity to do soand shares in showing openly who IS mature and who isnt(this is crucial for the future of all, to otherwise would allow

    communal behaviour like bolshevism to thrive covertly andthis is also a behaviour and phenomenon which accidentallythreatens economic and social security.) Its good to gaugeones own merit... even if you have done a considerably bigthing in the past... if you arent doing something right now, orare regressing then you are losing your way. Even being agood family person, finding out how to prevent pain andbettering your own interpersonal skills and knowledge fromdifferent perspectives... culture, religion, institutions,professions...at your own pace counts as holding in there forthe team. All efforts will be seen and noticed. Do be seriousabout it anddont procrastinate in self judgement (this thenmeans because you are proactive in adjusting and happy todo so... no one else need have the right or need to do so,though you should openly discuss if the other person ismature and deemed potentially trustworthy... but slip outinformation carefully... they will soon show you if they have abad manner or tendency or conflictive opinion top yourgrain. Dr John Gottman relationship expert defines criticismas one of the major reasons for relationship degradation andfailure in his bookwhy marriage succeed and fail .

    1. Criticism: Attacking your partners personality or character, usuallywith the intent of making someone right and someonewrong: Generalizations: you always you neveryourethe type of person who whyare you so

    2. Contempt: Attacking your partners sense of self with the intention toinsult or psychologically abuse him/her:- Insults and name-calling: bitch, bastard, wimp, fat, stupid,ugly, slob, lazy

    - Hostile humour, sarcasm or mockery- Body language & tone of voice: sneering, rolling your eyes,curling your upper lip

    3. Defensiveness:Seeing self as the victim, warding off a perceived attack:- Making excuses (e.g., external circumstances beyond yourcontrol forced you to act in a certain way) Its not my fault,I didnt- Cross-complaining: meeting your partners complaint, orcriticism with a complaint of your own, ignoring what yourpartner said- Disagreeing and then cross-complaining Thats not true,youre the one who I did this because you did that- Yes-butting: start off agreeing but end up disagreeing- Repeating yourself without paying attention to what theother person is saying- Whining Its not fair.

    4. Stonewalling:Withdrawing from the relationship as a way to avoid conflict.Partners may think they are trying to be neutral butstonewalling conveys disapproval, icy distance, separation,

    disconnection, and/or smugness:

    - Stony silence- Monosyllabic mutterings- Changing the subject- Removing yourself physically- Silent Treatment

    Other useful maturing skills are...Compassion, patience,learning to see from the other persons perspective, trusting(not believing without seeing/knowing), empathy,tolerance... are all social sponges... they are team playingskills... If you can keep these in play during your interactionsthen you are a value to your surroundings. A team is only asstrong as it weakest link... we can all look for new ways todevelop character skills and traits that hold new strong blockpositions or cover field bases for the team. When you donthave social sponge skills... it is likely you will end up withproblems, problem people, annoyances, tempers, misery

    and the likes. People who have these can be impulsivelyreactive in speech, attitude which incites others to escalatefrom their end too... building up to contentions and grudgesper se.

    Sucking it up for the team.

    Many of us have the good intention to do our best... we maypush too hard, not stand up and speak out because we dontwant to hurt someone or they will take it personally, or wemay contractually or promise ourselves into a bindingcontract from which we are held and hurt from. We may befalsely accused and feel injustice. I have had first handexperience with injustice... I bought a weighted black

    jogging vest and was out jogging one day... I was stoppedby law officers because they thought I was carrying a bomb.I have been falsely accused and incarcerated and havebeen given a record to that effect in another country. Ipanicked during this time because no one would listen... andfriends and family said I had to suck it up, and that they felsorry for me. I have seen this as still one of the best thingsthat has happened to me in my life... to quote Albert EinsteinThere is only one road to human greatness: through theschool of hard knocks. This to me has a meaning that whileyou journey even with righteous direction... life will throwcurve balls, hurdles, rarely mountains, trials and tribulations.The sooner you gain skills and strategy to overcome thesethe easier it gets and you can share these things too. I havelearned to use life to test my limitations and capacities onmy terms... I take to adding a challenge in my job choice orworkload... see how I react and my weaknesses of characterfor others and to protect against others being able to exploitthese. I work with my negative traits, from a young child tilnow have done so. I will listen if someone suggests I have a

    point I need to work on... I will turn to an expert book and

  • 8/12/2019 Love and the Things You Didn't Know but Needed to

    will see what they say and do a self assessment psychologytest http://www.healthyplace.com/psychological-tests/ I gainmental stability knowing I am competent to hold myself

    accountable and using good self abasement, I also gainfrom knowing that I am passing serious tests or finding outmy bad traits before they may cause any damage and thenget a profession specialist book to find out how to be foundnot wanting of a need to change. Then I have the mentalpeace of not worrying and genuinely knowing that I am up toprofessional scratch standards, and that anyone else whothinks otherwise doesnt know as much as they th ink! I havemy own plan to deal with unrighteous injustices... if I wasstopped by police unrightously... and was processed forsomething I know I was innocent... I would accommodatethem, be polite, civil and honest and get through whateverunrighteous sufferance may be required. I have learned thatfreaking out, being aggressive or impolite, having a victimmentality only will lead to greater harm. Plus if I was sent toGuantanamo by mistake... I would rather be the one in amillion false arrest that protects our young, or they guy thatinnocently got hung that for them to take the risk and err theother way. Since WW2 we have been able to live a rich andliberated life with much to be thankful for. Many boys who

    died on Omaha beach were just virgins who had not evenhad a chance to experience the beautiful things and humanpotential that is, and I see my attitude as a respect to whatthey did for me. I also hold in great esteem freedom, justiceand liberty. I believe in a duty to protect life but only sincethe world that IS and can be hard which I also love in all itsnatural glory and beauty, depth of emotion and richness of

    potential is beyond words to express the love of. And wordsreally dont do it justice. Perhaps its like Dantes inferno...we have to work our way outside of the comfort zone in lif

    (which thankfully is mostly peaceable these days.), orcircumstances may put us in this position anyway. Withinthe boundaries of righteousness, civility, effort, selfallowance... we should drive back into the safe zone.Whether we take a dangerous position, get into anexploitative world or an abusive one (see my resources to fixat the back if you need help), whether our job is boring,debts stack up or pitfalls that were hidden when we trustedthe world, if we have to take 2 steps backwards, or get stuckwith a lot of confusion or unreliability there is a way back intthe safe zone, and that journey starts with the first step andpersistence... the team is depending on you to get back yourinformation. Every person who suffers some and keeps online to find their head above the water again is of value toyoungsters and a guard against its ills per se. If you have totake an extra time off, if you need the extra rest, help frompeople like councillors (it is delusional and shallow to thinkthat you are tough and beyond that! If you switch offfeeling... they will poke at you and can escalate... it can leadto sociopathic behaviour (things like school shootings.), be a

    hero and make yourself one of historys winners who tookthe hard road and beat the unseen forces (my book on thisout soon), which plague our busy lives. And help protectfuture generations from unseen harm.

    Or being lied about, dont deal in lies,Or being hated dont give way to hating, And yet dont look too good, nor talk too wise;

    If you can dream and not make dreams your master;If you can think and not make thoughts your aim,If you can meet with Triumph and DisasterAnd treat those two impostors just the same:

    If you can bear to hear the truth youve spokenTwisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

    And stoop and build em up with worn-out tools;

    If you can make one heap of all your winningsAnd risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,And lose, and start again at your beginningsAnd never breathe a word about your loss:If you can force your heart and nerve and sinewTo serve your turn long after they are gone,And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: Hold on!

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

    Or walk with Kings nor lose the common touch,If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,If all men count with you, but none too much:If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds worth of distance run,Yours is the Earth and everything thats in it,And which is more youll be a Man, my son!

    It really shares an idea of true grit. But remember, dont putin more thanyou can chew... once youre in the gritty world

    there is no pushing it away again.

    Protective force

    Love to me is an immensely powerful and refreshing drivingforce... I look for depth and reminders, beauty and meaningin everything I do... I love my household chores forexample... I get to keep fit, learn to be fast and precise andhave dexterity... dont want to knock over an importantsentimental ornament per se... my mind spirit and bodycome together. Gym workers dont get paid to keep fit andtrain in sharpness. I look for love in everything! My music...wisdom and love from all generations and creeds andgrowing it without fear of what others think! Fear is the toolterrorists love, dont give them the satisfaction ofunnecessary worrying, it makes a problem twice theproblem. I know I can trust nature and feel relaxed in itscompany... the wind, rain sun... help be feel touched andalive. Colour, fun. Always having something waiting at mynext port of call (not in an addictive personality way). A

    sport, a book, hunting on the internet for rare inspiration, butonly because I feel like it and the pay off feels good. I haveeven found ways to feel positive when other people feelphobic or nauseated, (examples in my meditation book 8simple meditations.). Im just saying... give it a try... youmight be surprised. You would be a fool sports teammanager not to try coving all the unseen bases... this is oneof them.

    When not to allow patriotism to be used in an argum ent.

    Sometimes we may feel that we need to assert and see

    another as not having the right to hold patriotism or meritinto any conversation or assertion into argument for anyreason whether true or false or to whatever extentexpressed (even heroism). Behaviours that are narcissistic,verbally or physically aggressive, malicious, a threat toliberty in principle or otherwise on a small or wide scale inany way are negative behaviours. For example, here aresome enigmatic variations which are not meant to bemeasured against each other. A person may have donerightly meritable service in the army, but they may wish tocount this as their savings account on patriotic currency, ora right of power to defend or sway an argument.

    A person may be a federal campaigner and have been

    voted at some level, they may seem difficult to trust at facevalue but they successfully get a majorative desired need inthe community and appreciation to some degree for it(getting support is real tough, a great campaigner can comeamuck amidst the red tape). They may equally be aneducational campaigner (though there are different flavoursof religion, science and the such, point being they put theirtime into filtering and sifting through and validatinginformation whittling it down to cut out nonsense and timewasting which drags us down so) these kinds being differentfrom public service educationalists whose work is morecareer based and has a good degree of self serving and isremunerated very fairly for doing so... their pay off being

    more of a financial currency than a patriotic one, though

    their choice of service is patriotic. A person may be avoluntary contributor to community or society, filling a gapthat neither of the other two can... providing an ex-

    Problems we face in this modern new m illennium era.

    Right now integrity is at a loss. Customer services cannot

    train their staff to keep up with computing changes with newsystem every year people are becoming dispirited anddismayed. Customers may wait on a phone for lots of timeand be unable to fix glitches. This is actually a threat to thewhole economy. It is slowing down production. I havestopped doing my paperwork and tax returns on thecomputer and save time and worry. I back up on severaldrives but have the worry too. If I make the extra effort to

    keep paper it raises all costs and time. I just do it all bhand... no-worries and no chance of wipe or infection. I havelost 10 years of work, had several backups fail, and even if itis going smoothly the worry prays on me. I have found bigcompanies or their partners have not done me justice inkeeping records in the event mine have been lost in a homemove or such and the staff dealing with complaintsfrequently do have a legitimate personal plausible andinnocent deniability which is highly corruptible. It would behighly patriotic to make things smooth and fast once more inthe world ahead of other competition. There is now a newmarket to be tapped. Any big business would be wise sincethe collapse... to protect the jobs they have created, and toimplement changes which facilitate towards smoothnessand less doubt, at least as a model till better times or

    solutions come up. It is a good solution to market and no-one is using it. Even big companies are starting to fail atdelivering computing and media solutions... and now thereis a glut of glitch fixing software in the wake of it. It opensway for big competitors to undermine established progressand could be a contributant to the fragile world economy.Not least to say, since less transparent companies canproduce multiple similar products to top line originals (which

    I have functionality and trust problems with) at a fraction of

  • 8/12/2019 Love and the Things You Didn't Know but Needed to

    60/80

    60

    the cost. Possibly the only way to open up a door to combatthe productivity/cost divide is to do things like this. With apoor economy, less spending power... sales will be driven tothe cheap end... it is natural. An economy which has a costof living price at a tenth that of another, doesnt need tospend in order to get the same produced. This means theyhave a flexible margin. They could double the pricetomorrow and still be cheaper. The expensive country istrapped on the high road on gambling terms... it cannotmove or compete and has no luxury to change. Plus with theloss of integrity with computers and spirit and frustration

    levels are not where we need them... they do not contributeto good conditions. In fact they can contribute to a cost.Mental health, disgruntledness and social harm, socialbehaviourally driven norms, health... all these things willcost the treasury. In the UK for example... the one percent ofspecial healthcare for this kind of thing in the UK costs 8Billion of around 600 Billion income. By freeing up red tape...Billions could be released. Dysfunction within thinking anddepartmental integrity and interactivity is costing big. Byensuring law enforced high standards of socialresponsibilities by big companies the treasury can protectagainst economic threat. (As President Roosevelt of theU.S.A. after world war 2 expressed... econo mic security is afreedom which should be ensured which at present has lostits integrity and sits as a threat at present.) There are clearlymany ways to prevent economic loss and get gain. Forexample if portable kevlar riot style shields were paid forand used in testudo (tortoise) formations under fire, givenboth cover in the clear and protection from potential IEDs...millions would be saved in pensions as well as the obviousbenefit to families of soldiers. This money could be re-invested.

    In the late 90s thereabouts corporate business in the UK

    realised that in order to reach targets they had to raise thebar on performance. There are few options open to amanager with 2 tiers of other management under them.They likely want their bonus for their family (and rightly so...its a healthy sentiment), they might outsource to Indiawhere labour is cheap and companies are willing to be veryaccommodating with misunderstandings across culturallanguage barriers and keeping their footing a lot of the timeof having a seemingly plausible filibustering reply toanything you might feel aggrieved about, which can cutcosts further, and since many businesses do it... it can be

    deemed an industry norm. By laying off staff at home theycould boost productivity and save money. (Which is not asocially responsible policy in hard times, and is not a locallypatriotic thing to do either. It breeds mistrust and problemson the home front. ). With no-one watching and seemingly anormal industry practice many can talk themselves into itbeing viable and getting no-one blocking its progress. Plusmany managers will wish to please their boss and showinitiative with good results on paper, or they may be allowedto progress unhindered. Perhaps as long as their bossesfigures look good for their bosses bonus then all is well.Maybe their family may already have decided the bonus wasspent and they dont want to let the family down, so they putthem first. So what is the patriotic call? Family? Country?Boss? Bonus?... quite a conundrum... I shall let you knowwhat I think later.

    Before the economic problems... one could easily overlookthe margin for error and such because there were littlelosses but mostly forward momentum. It was trial and errordifferent elements of growth lent themselves to each otherand they profited with each other. But now our patriotismmust be re-assessed to look at other consequential costs. Abalance between banking, business, social responsibility,

  • 8/12/2019 Love and the Things You Didn't Know but Needed to

    62/80

    62

    governance is needed. Knock on consequentialityassessment, contingencies for defensive economics in hardtimes, free range economics when there is some money tothrow on the risk and wheel in the good times and a midwaycontingency when we are waiting for result or such orperhaps other such strategies. Good forecasting may beone way to protect people and get some money and thesystem flowing again. None of the worlds economicadvisors, governments or the IMF who is paid to foreseeproblems spotted a problem with the removal of theseparation of banks and investment banks which was put in

    place at around the time of President F.D. Roosevelt toprevent it from happening.

    In the UK... landlords cannot get tenants, homeowners arehaving trouble getting a fair market price. New mortgagetakers risk going into negative equity if the housing market isthe deciding factor that gives way. (as patriots we dont wishto leave any potential party... be it landlord, tenant, buyer,

    lender, borrower etc to suffer a loss giving a thought to all.)Lenders stand to lose out, as does the government, plus itwill cost peoples trust and grow fear about the state ofthings to come. As Dr Phil McGraw says it takes athousand at a boys to make up for one your worthless , andthis relates to the way your countries people will see you ifyou let them down. So we need to maintain a guaranteedhouse price will not go into negative equity... this wayprotects banks lending and protects borrowers from biggerdebts from borrowing, which protects banking faith inlending which supports them having more to risk in thebusiness sector, which protects the government from worryor needing to bail out banks and raise more taxes. But whatabout the poorer. In the UK there is no trailer park option...one has to get onto the market at an average in the south ofEngland for a small cheap 1 bed property at around

    63/80

    63

    $160,000, plus taxes and monthly rates then there a wholeheap of other contentions, but we shall put those aside. Withmany 1st level manager and supervisor jobs paying littlemore than minimum wage of around between 6 to 10 anhour... and child care costs being the same, one parent maywork for nothing per se or a single person cannot afford aplace on their own. Even renting a single room is around300 minimum, but can still easily be a ploy or trap withhidden costs to navigate which means you need moremoney. Many poor do not have the patience, time orresources to pursue a small claim in court, and in many

    cases it wont make it to court. There are solutions though.But first lets think about a few other claims the press hasmade. The complaint has been that the housing market isnot moving. The only ways the ball can roll is if people arepaid more by corporations as a minimum, governmentprovides cheap subsidy, the housing market price roofcrashes, people sell up and down size, a trailer option isdeemed acceptable (in Britain, and includes pricing to havean onsite police, Dr and counsellor/psychiatric expert per sein order to maintain decency and respect of esteem fortenants, or to provide a separate specialist facility for peoplewith learning difficulties or antisocial needs. Businesspeople and government could own and run sites making anew market potentially worth billions. It might encouragepeople out to work since they can now afford an option andhave a life on low wages, plus a 4 birth caravan could rentout or sell 4 rooms and living space for a low investmentcost. Government could create a new inspectoratedepartment and jobs and land owners could start toregenerate a profit. A very nice big modern 4 bed caravanwith great extras costs 13,000 very easily. If a landlord isalready owning several properties like I know they are andfinding it hard to find tenants... they could use the sale of

    one property to fund a land buy and facilitate an easy start

    for sales. Another option is found in Japan for really poorfolks... internet rooms can be rented extremely cheaply... itsa safe room on a nightly basis very cheap with internetconnection (keyboard and screen behind a break proofguard and a recliner chair.) people can get their lives back insome safety, kids can have some refuge from domesticabuse, and more money and taxes can help taxpayers andhelp the streets to become more civilised again. Japan mustmake billions from this option... and it makes sense... sincewhat landlord really thinks he can get a part time workingpoor person a home at the $160,000 rent prices... there

    arent enough jobs for everyone anyway! We are wastingBillions, we are not helping to kick-start growth and create anew tax relief for everyone, creating jobs and renewing faithand fixing the economic threat as well as threat to the socialworld and people AND we could end up with foreign investorprofiting and not having a patriotic sentiment towards thetown that is making them rich. It is a fact that Japan has awhole market which can aid the stepping stones towards thebigger market which is not moving.

    Justice

    I have a little to say on this. I have found out there are

    hidden by-laws, curve balls or street wisdom... and I learnedto take it on the chin at least once and see the good in it. Okyou got me with a small curve ball... I made a bet with anelite soldier once and he still hasnt paid! I will save mymoney and time, call it a loss and be thankful to you thatnow anyone else who throws curves like you will get hit outof the park. ^_^ I can save time, court services, pain orannoyance or their repercussion s and make sure it doesnt

    catch me out again. (Of course using the courts is a goodand mature way to settle contentions. I prefer not to onmany matters... I see more justice in it. I am happy toaccommodate anyone with their pursuit of law... and if Iknow it to be unjust or require a lesson in return... I willequally claim for time, toxicity of proceedings and disquietcause to my constitution or soul or what have you. (As wellas other requirements.) My way of dealing with things is myconfidence, learning from all losses how to beat injusticesalong the way and accepting and doing my best in allmatters. Even if I am found wanting by a court, it mayusually be because my evidence is not of sufficient quality inwhich case I could have prepared and dealt with it better.My manner may have done me or others a disservice orshown disrespect or immaturity.) I will learn, adapt, grow

    and be thankful... less and less will be a problem in thesecontentions while I wise up to plugging the holes in thelearning bucket.

    Banking and stocks

    One problem has been the loss and the knock on of stockand economic instability panic... perhaps a bettermanagement of contingency at the time of the trillions lost inthe banking crises/depression that it has been called couldhave saved a trillion in its wake... like a trading freeze onthe chance across world trading where a large tradingcontinent poses a threat of instability like with the Euro perse for the sake of argument just as an example. A call couldbe make to prevent economies having a negatizing effect onthe prices of stock equity, cutting them out of the link toeconomies. So this would protect stock holders around the

    world and the knock on to economic security.China has now built a like for like products... which Im surethey can produce ten of to the price of one US one per se...this shows the power of divide... now the world is out ofspare cash so to speak... spenders and business mayseemingly profit better by buying cheaper products whichca n still be at good standards. Lets take it that it is because

    of the cost of property prices which is one thing at the heartof the divide and problem... since cheap rents on decentproperties mean workers need paying less so to say. Whichis why china can afford to do a lot more for a lot less. Therwill always be a conundrum and threat with property dividegetting bigger. Some big countries could lose as it seemssome are already... and it could be some of the unexpectedones. With a more tightly assessed and managed divide we

    may be able to open up a significantly more profitable world

  • 8/12/2019 Love and the Things You Didn't Know but Needed to

    at our end without the need for paying out too.

    It would be technically possible to put back the trillions lostacross the world if planned righteously between economicleaders. Taking into account justice, four freedoms and achance to pursue happiness for all, and a business worldagreeing to only a small stake in the deal till proven they arenot an economic and social threat but an ally.

    If every of the 50 million people in the UK had an average of1000 in savings. Based on the fact that severalpublications including the economist have stated the sameassessment of the published government inflation rate issaid to be different to the actual cost of living inflation ratesaid to be around 10%...http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/price_clubbed_in_jRGGyS9wKfAKjxAs0bkVnO (which we will use for thisexample) then savers will lose out over ten years at thecurrent interest rate of around 3% a 7% loss over ten yearsfor 50million x 1000 works out at 3,500,000,000 thats abig leak!... and there may be a similarly large one in eachcountry across the world. Its a small salvation to plug it! Halfthe banks should not be allowed to float on the stockmarket... If a bank is managing well in risking loans, andthey put into stocks then are worth say ten times the value...they still only hold a tenth in true equity... if the worldeconomies slip and some investments go sour they might

    end up being worth less. Banks should be allowed andshould hold a different type of account which is not includedunder their stock risk... if something does go wrong there willstill be a company and jobs to grow from. There are manysafe and profitable loans to give people who have equity!And it too is part of the patriotic cycle of existence to show alittle faith and to use a card of a trusted local and nationalbank who pays their taxes by giving some of your

    69

    disposable income if you have it through a gold card usageand paying some interest. (Though I can understand manypeople not having faith in banking management and afeeling they dont deserve to profit if they have threatenedworld economic security with their selfish ignorance.)I feel that all companies should be compulsorily expected topublish to a direct government link the facts about theircompany. I worked in a multi national security departmentwhich looked after 2000 multi million properties and millionsof people daily. They had a very clever computer systemwhich had access to all thousands and thousands of daily

    transactions, down to all the last details. This computer wasable to access every locations records with ease and hadbeen programmed to pull up suspicious occurrences... theyworked out a cheap and simple system which could huntproblems and worked out to be effective and true... such athing in central government could help protect a countiesbusinesses. It was able to detect rogue transactors andtransacting too.
