"Random Hip-Hop Quote" - Hawks Season Preview Continued...

of people reacting while watching it are funny.

One being what the overall framework of the system as a whole is, and all must work within. The politics is your desires for personal or political power, these may be more stringent than the framework itself, and some of the desires may be outside of the frame work.

An example would be, can a Convicted Felon run for Office. My philosophy being that all can run, who meet the requirements says yes, he can run for office. My Politics on the other hand would tell him to get fucked, I am not voting for you.

Really one is what IS to be or not be [The setting and operation within the Rule of Written Law, the framework of governance and society], the other is the Desire, the conduct of people or society to be or not be [personal wants for personal gain or power].

I personally may not like something, but that does not mean I wish it to be illegal. The desire to impose that is over the limit of the Philosophy. Example: I do not like Pot, would never, and have never touched it, I have seen what it has done to family members, but to my Philosophy on Governance and Liberty, I can not justify making it illegal. However, I would fully support severe consequences for abuse or misuse which injures and disparages another from its use.
This is actually tougher to explain than I thought it would be.

And many [certainly not all] of his ideas, are valid today, going on 400 years later.

is that it’s all about you and what you want/need/believe. You live in a community; it’s NEVER all about your needs and what you want to do.

Once upon a time, someone else who was better off than my family paid a little more in taxes so that I could take student loans and grants (because I had a single mother working two jobs, one of which was as a member of your dreaded teacher’s union) and get a college education. In turn, I’m better off than my parents were, and I will one day reach the point where I have to pay just a little more in taxes so I can turn around and help pull someone else up.

You don’t like paying for Amtrak? Or the USPS? Ok, let’s get rid of them. Now, tell me, what are we using instead of trains, and how am I getting my magazines? And who is now employing the thousands of people you’ve just abruptly laid off by shutting down Amtrak or USPS?

You want to blame teachers for our poor test scores? Sure, they’re definitely part of the blame as we have some really bad teachers out there. You know why? It’s not just unions; the pay is terrible and no one with an education wants to teach and make no money.

We also have a lot of shitty parents who don’t make sure their kids go to school everyday, do their homework every night, and be accountable. Instead, they either don’t care, or believe their child can do no wrong and/or doesn’t need to know what they’re supposed to be learning.

As for FHA loans and tax credits, frankly, I’m glad that my tax dollars go toward something like that. Investing in property that you can afford is good for personal finances and the economy. I turned around and dumped my entire credit plus some back into the economy. I’d say it served its purpose of helping stimulate just a little bit. At least the Home Depot employees and my electrician and plumber think so.

I can’t recall seeing the government encourage a plasma tv as a “right.” That’s more people seeing a want and not being able to say no to themselves. You want to blame the government, fine; i’d rather people looked in the mirror and determined maybe they aren’t so entitled to everything after all. I’d like some more personal accountability, thank you.

To me, it is incredibly easy to criticize what you don’t like or claim not to need, but I don’t ever see a lot of solutions to these same complaints.

I’m sure the Blackhawks would have loved to go to Washington. But a certain asshole President never extended the invite.

The Bulls would have been there the next day.
