NSA National Security + Protecting the whistle blower

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy, Political, Solutions - No Comments

I believe you can have National Security without living in a police state. I believe that for this to occur there must be a mechanism to protect the whistle-blower and insure that his/her concerns are addressed.  After Benghazi,  NSA , and the IRS scandal these reforms must be enacted ASAP (see below)

(1) An office is set up for civilians and those who work with National Security to anonymously report abuses.

(2) Individuals who place a report with the office are given a number where they can tract the progress of their complaint and print copies of it. They are given a time frame when an address to the complaint must be received.

(3) This report is immediately given to those in the departments who can make the needed changes.  They must respond to the complaint in a time-frame that is dependent  on the seriousness of the report.

(4) If the individual is unsatisfied with the response of the report they notify the office which then sends the report to a congressional committee responsible for handling these issues. The congressional committee is  given a time table to response to this complaint.

(5)  If the individual is still unsatisfied with that response then the office will send this report in general (to avoid security concerns) to respected officials in the press.

(6) If the report leads to improvements in the system. The individual receives a reward for their help in improving the system (anonymously if need be) .

Freedom of Choice- Not in Nanny NJ

I believe families  should be able to make their own decisions on what issues effect their families and the treatment or lack thereof to deal with these issues.  I believe the nuclear family is the key to our survival as a country and that government should be limited in restricting the rights of parents to raise their children as they deem fit. I also believe that the government shouldn’t have their faith supersede the faith of families.  If you agree with this position then how can Governor Christie ban a therapy just because he disagrees with the position?  Therefore Governor’s Christie’s  law barring licensed therapists from trying to turn gay teenagers straight is wrong and should be overturned by the courts.

Prejudice = Bullying

Posted by Bruce - in arts and entertainment, Blog, Philosophy, Political - No Comments

     

    After watching the film “42” I realized that throughout history prejudice has been used as a form of sanctioned bullying. Whether this prejudice was based on race, religion, creed or sex it enabled those who had a grudge against society to find an escape goat for all their problems. Those in power supported even tacitly using the blame game because it would inoculate them from the blame they actually deserved.  Those who want to stand up for the victims are afraid to as this bully (the one with the big mouth) intimitates them through their own power structure. 

    Today this form of prejudice is predominately seen  in the political debate where those with different political opinions from the mainstream are labeled by the political elite. For example once you are labeled an extremist it is okay for those in power to ridicule you and push you down. We lose the great insight of these individuals  because their ideas are never fully discussed and debated in the mainstream. Engaging in this form of bullying for any reason is wrong and we should instead have a rational debate with respect to all sides. Therefore the next time someone from “your side” uses a deragotary label on someone from the otherside stand up and tell them that you don’t accept this label and want to hear their point of view. Whether that voice come from a  black, white,  Jew, Christian, Muslim, Republican, Tea Party, Leftist, and or combination of the above all voices deserve to be heard, respected and debated.

A Prejudice that continues and nobody is fighting against including me

Posted by Bruce - in arts and entertainment, Blog, Philosophy, Political - No Comments

                  

              Prejudice is to have a preconceived judgment on someone without them evening saying a word. Today all around the world certain individuals are given preferential treatment in employment, discounts, and in general, life.  Please note that there is some hard work and expense to keep up this advantage over others yet it is not equivalent to the hard work that others must perform just to keep up. I honestly have to say that I carry this prejudice around as well.  This prejudice is based on “looks”.

              Let’s face it those with good looks have a step above us in finding employment opportunities, getting discounts at stores (who turns the pretty woman) and sitting at the best seats in a restaurant. Yes, it might take time, effort, and monies (hair stylist, plastic surgery) to keep up this advantage, but it’s basically a gift from G-D to some and not others.

     How can we fight such prejudice or should we? Should we change our policy and give up our seat to the ugly man or woman? Should we make sure we employ ugly people at stores like Victoria’s Secret? Should there be quotes of ugly people working at stores? I for one say no! Adding beauty to our daily routines makes them more enjoyable, exciting and fun. The solution is simple when we see beauty let us share that beauty in the way we act toward others who might not have this advantage in life.  Let us also realize and take into account our own prejudice on looks that we carry everyday and pledge to not only see the beauty from the outside but the beauty within when we judge an individual.
