The People's Civil Purpose;
In the Defense of our Founding Fathers
by Uncle Emanuel Watkins
As a youngster, my feet oftentimes followed after my hands as I would whine at the checkout stands for my mother to buy me some candy.
In regards to setting up therapy to treat my psychological condition, a rational child psychologist would be lost in how to go about it. After all, as living organisms, we didn’t find our way by thinking, but by crying.
While candy can be a bad thing, buying an empty box of goods is worse and the worst kind of empty box is legal precedence. Why, oh why, do we continue our chronic support of legal precedence, the vain doings involving the legislation, the administrations, and the judgements of, by, and for mortal men and women?
Consequently, all things have to change, but the one thing that never change is this: no matter how eloquently they claim to serve us, we will always end up serving them. Therefore, the only way we can prosper as a people is by limiting the size and scope of government.
Speaking of government on an intimate level, the face of a wife, with this representing her authority, is best blessed by a husband who limits his face or authority. Indeed, just because he represents the ultimate authority at the dinner table doesn’t mean that he has to use it to legislate, to administer, and to judge.
When asking either of my grandmothers what they thought about the present political situations, I can remember their unleavened suggestions to me that we have to learn to accept life for what it is. At the time, their opinions were just too narrow and bitter for me to accept. After a lot of mistakes, pain and suffering, and trial and error, I have finally arrived at understanding their collective point of view.
Life isn’t just cruel, as this means nothing, but it is a cruel juxtaposition. As a sovereign king is born blessed never having to worry about what he will wear, what he will eat and drink, or how he will get about from place to place, a trespassing prostitute is born cursed in comparison. As the rich king will enjoy an air conditioned environment, the worthless prostitute suffers in the elements. As the king never has had to know any better, the wayward prostitute has always had it coming to her. This is the cruel reality that we all live in and, once again, no matter what they claim they can do by way of their wonderful and even magical political manipulations, this will forever be the case as it will never, ever change.
This is a matter of “being” versus “doing.”
In “doing,” we make things new by way of changing them into something different.
For example, if the government ever determines that it was at fault in how it treated the Branch Davidians, then it might make necessary changes with doing something different by way of compensation equal to whatever is necessary to make things right. While this might seem thoughtful, it is just the opposite.
In “being,” we make things new by way of redemption. We give them back their prior property in Waco, Texas. We give them back their “cult” religion. We help them build their military “compound” back into a Church of worship.
In being who we are, the major premise will always be a sovereign, blessed king while the minor premise will always be a condemned, cursed prostitute. The conclusion, the reality in which we live, will always exist between these two inverses or perversities. Our “doings” aren't a means to an end, but our “actions” become an end to a means, or, like the Son of Man, we truly concern ourselves with caring as a responsible government by way of our hands spontaneously following after and serving the uncomely feet of the commoners.
