Philosophy

They are the one’s that truly make the world move but nobody appears to notice until they’re gone.  The Inbetweens are not the loudest but their words truly make a difference. People forget to invite them to parties but when they come the party truly begins. They have strong values and convictions yet their appearances don’t fit the mold.  In the end many will take their glory but the Inbetweens will surely be the ones that are missed.

Are people innately good or is it because of the laws that we have in society that make us act in this way? We have seen history of man’s cruelty to man but also acts of incredible kindness and love even during those terrible times. War, slaughter, slavery, rape are all acts by men but we also  have acts of rescue, revival, repentance so how does that line formed. The “Purge” movie series proposes that laws are the major constraints that keep society from turning from savagery.

 I tend to believe differently as I have witnessed many acts to prove that is not the case. During 911 when basic communications was knocked out in the village and lower east side people came together to try  and rescue those who were trapped and scared.  There wasn’t anarchy or chaos on the streets but a sense of community that brought us together as one people.  This community has occurred during many a crisis whether it be natural such as hurricanes and earthquakes or man made such as terrorist attacks and blackouts, where citizens have stepped up when government had stepped out.  Human beings in general have innate ability to care and love each other. It is only when we focus too much energy on those fringe elements that we forget about the good that is in so many whether there is a law in effect or not.

I believe in the Capitalistic Free Enterprise system and the idea that even the least among us can make it in this experiment in freedom, called “America”.  That through families and private charities we can truly help those that are least among us to gain a foot to make it on there own in this country.  This is why I’m not troubled by the young people who are escaping hideous conditions of poverty and violence to try to get a start in our land.

Most of these “Illegal Children” who are coming across our borders have families that are ready to sponsor them so that they can be productive members of our society. We as a society have seen a decline in our youth population and without new blood programs many programs such as Social Security will fold before we know it. These young children may become our next wave of entrepreneurs as we have seen with past immigration patterns.  The small amount of children that don’t have any families to sponsor them would probably be welcome to those who can’t conceive their own children and would be an asset to our foster care program (as a last resort).

It is true that our border must be better protected if not to secure that those who would do us harm (ex terrorist) don’t have a free pass to get in but let us not forget about the compassion that is America.  Those that are undeserving should and must be set back at a rapid pace yet we have room in our heart and our country for those that children that yearn to breathe free. As it says on the footsteps of Lady Liberty.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

We can bare the initial cost of letting those children taste the essence of freedom as in the near future there own individual talent will reap much more benefits to our society as a whole.

G-D willing there will arrive a day when a Palestinian leader will arise telling his/her people that it’s best to wage Capitalism then war. They will realize the amount of monies foolishly spent on attacking Israel’s would be better spent on improving the life’s of their brothers and sisters with new jobs and entrepreneurial projects.  Capitalism will open up new opportunities for commerce between Israel and the Palestinian territories and then those borders won’t seem so ridged as friendship between old time cousins will occur instead. New financial opportunities will enable those denied basic rights the financial ability to speak out and demand such rights in peaceful demonstration and protest.  I pray that Hash-m will bring such a wise leader to the Palestinian people and thus become a city on the heel for the rest of the world on how we can all live in peace and harmony.

 There are many critics who feel that Israel is using maximum force in the Gaza Strip but they truly don’t understand the dividing wall. On one side is a land controlled by a gangster organization that rules by the bullet not the ballot and on the other side is the only true Democracy in the Middle East.  Israel is not only a threat to the dictators in the Gaza Strip but the entire Middle East as those citizens around her realize that Jew, Gentile and Muslim can live and work together in peace.  She is not a perfect land and not every battle is won gallantly but at least she is willing to listen and learn from the past and make herself a better society for all.  Israel should expect tougher criticism from the outside world because they like the U.S live up to a higher standard but there is a time and place for such a criticism but today is not that time.  Today is a time to stand up for this land of freedom and Democracy against a backdrop of  hate and oppression. Please stand with Israel!

IT HURTS BUT SOMETIMES YOU MUST MOVE ON.

 How many times would your friend have to betray your trust before you stopped standing by him/her?  If your friend promised to be open and transparent with you but you kept finding out new secrets from others, would you still fight for him? Would it truly matter if you shared the same ideology or would character matter more?

 Most of us would know where to draw the line but it appears the media doesn’t.  They continue to back the President even though he has lied to them about Obamacare ( you can keep your doctors) , the IRS scandal (there is not a smidgen of corruption), and  Benghazi (this was brought upon by a video) etc  but how about if that stops them from doing there job would that matter?   It apparently doesn’t as the media is forbidden to investigate the “refugee camps” that the administration is keeping children. Whether they are personally for or against the President’s policy on this issue don’t they want to know how these “innocent children” are kept and if they are truly innocent.  It’s time the media elite learn who there real friends are the “American People” and start working on their behalf instead.

I’m wondering if there is an agency that lets you to at least adopt or foster care one of those children who are crossing the border?  We know that there are thousands of couples who are having difficult conceiving children and would be happy to take in one of these children that are crossing the border.  We also know the horrible conditions that these children are living under when they live in these “government shelters” so why is there no agency that places these children in loving families?  The government could even make money with this service by charging a light fee for the adoption service. What’s your thoughts on this issue.  

It’s also strange how they say the border is well protected but a child can sneak across what happens when a terrorist has that same desire.
