The benefit of writing this offering mostly comes from age –
now in my 4th and final quartile of life – and the few awareness’s
that time and experience and the simple repetitiveness of homo sapien behaviors
teaches one if interested.
We base thefundamentals on a basic fundamental – if one or
two or many borrow money for whatever is a reasonable reason – assuming they
survive – they must repay it.
Today our cities – counties – states – and others – don’t adhere
to thefundamental briefly offered above.
Meanwhile other things are going on here at home and
elsewhere – and guess what – the other things also follow a basic fundamental
that is a tad more complex than the borrow/repay cited above. This fundamental is basic – fairly easy to
describe in general terms – but it gets to be a real stinker when it comes to
real life people simply trying to flush the smellyones we often suggest dropped
from trees long ago and figured out how to get others to do things that they
could benefit from.
The best current example – not here where most of us are
simply fat and happy (well the happy “contentment” is struggling a bit) – is
Hong Kong (HK). We love seeing these
people by the thousands simply tell their smellyones (descendants of the
earlier tree droppers) to get the “you know what” out of town – leave us alone –
we will figure out most everything – well at least for a while.
Which always – these brief brilliant words of ours above – brings
us to a basic – a fundamental – written by one of our founders – back a while
ago when we still had one or two gals and guys who behaved quite similarly to
the HKer’s – pls read:

the
people can not be all, & always, well informed. the part which is wrong [.
. .] will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they
misconceive. if they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy,
the forerunner of death to the public liberty. we have had 13. states
independant 11. years. there has been one rebellion. that comes to one
rebellion in a century & a half for each state. what country before ever
existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can
preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that
their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms. the remedy
is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. what signify a few
lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time
to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it’s natural manure.
Tough to top this guy (we call him TJ) and his few repetitively
needed fundamental words we borrowed from: http://tjrs.monticello.org/letter/100
