    COT

    I read the following from the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

    “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”

    ********************************

    There’s also a great deal more which I didn’t read and haven’t reproduced here. But below are a few of the “Injuries and Usurpations” listed in the Declaration:

    “He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners;”

    “He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.”

    “For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:”

    “For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:”

    “For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:”

    “For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:”

    *************************************

    AND BELOW ARE THE QUESTIONS I ASKED PLUS A FEW I DIDN’T GET TO:

    • Who said: “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence-it is force! Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.” Answer: George Washington
    • Who said “Our constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law.” Justice John Marshall Harlan; This is from his dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson (Separate but Equal ruling legalizing segregation in 1896.)
    • Name a significant fact about John Marshall Harlan: He was a slaveholder prior to the Civil War. (He also fought with the Union Army in the Civil War and was from Virginia.)
    • What document was Lincoln referring to in the Gettysburg Address when he wrote “four score and seven years ago,”: Answer: Declaration of Independence
    • Who said: “These are the times that try men’s souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.” Answer:  Thomas Paine, The American Crisis
    • Who from Virginia, signed the Declaration of Independence: Answer: George Wythe, Richard Henry Lee, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Harrison, Thomas Nelson Jr., Francis Lightfoot Lee, Carter Braxton
    • How many times does the Constitution use the word ‘slave’, ‘slavery’ or other derivation, prior to the 13th amendment? Answer: zero! The Constitution was very artfully worded!
    • What English philosopher greatly influenced the Declaration of Independence: Answer John Locke. Locke’s “Second Treatise of Government” provided the foundation for the Declaration’s concept of natural rights and the social contract theory, which posits that governments derive their legitimacy from the consent of the governed. Written in 1683, between the time of the English Civil War and the Glorious Revolution.
    • Where did Habeas Corpus come from and what is it: Answer: Habeas corpus, often called “the Great Writ,” originated in England’s common law system, evolving over centuries from the 12th century onwards. It gained prominence with the Magna Carta (1215) and was later formalized in the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679, which guaranteed the right to challenge unlawful imprisonment.
    • Who said: “A man’s rights rest in three boxes: the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.” Answer: Frederick Douglas
    • Who said: “We are descended from a people whose government was founded on liberty; our glorious forefathers of Great Britain made liberty the foundation of everything. That country is become a great, mighty, and splendid nation; not because their government is strong and energetic, but, sir, because liberty is its direct end and foundation.” Answer: Patrick Henry
    • Who said: “Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.” Answer: Benjamin Franklin
    • Who said: “The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.” Answer: Benjamin Franklin
    • Who said: “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Answer: Benjamin Franklin
    • Who said: “A republic, if you can keep it” Answer: Benjamin Franklin
    • Who said: “nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.” Answer: Thomas Jefferson

    One of the lessons for the past Sunday was on the Tower of Babel. The story in Genesis is about why there are so many languages. Babel in Hebrew means confusion.

    Communication when people speak different languages is very difficult if not impossible. But even communication between people who speak the same language can be difficult. Some keys to effective communication: listen, be patient, ask questions to understand and speak clearly.

    We continued the conversation on various topics at Starbucks. Illustrating the difficulty of communication, one of us went to a different Starbucks. (We typically go to Starbucks off Gaskins; Gayton Crossing).

    Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Rick Warren

    If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed. CS Lewis

    For Lewis, the truly humble man “will not be thinking about humility: he will not be thinking about himself at all.” The only way to begin to grasp this is by admitting first that you think of yourself more highly than you ought, for “if you think you are not conceited, you are very conceited indeed.” Aaron Armstrong

  • Dry Package Installed

    When I was in Charlotte and it rained, there was one person who always asked if the ‘Dry Package was Installed’. Today, we installed the dry package and went to the Dave and Buster’s parking deck. Yes, we drove there.

    By the way, Jim Thorpe’s birthday (AKA: Wa-Tho-Huk, May 22 or 28, 1887) might be today! Thorpe was an American athlete who won Olympic gold medals and played professional football, baseball, and basketball. Often considered the greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th Century.

    I have read that we are evolutionarily predisposed to be pessimistic because the pessimist anticipated problems (is there a tiger in the grass over there?) and survived while the optimist got eaten by the tiger. As Christians, perhaps we should be optimistic because God is over everything on earth. Maybe a realistic outlook on life is a combination of both perspectives. Something to think about!

    Happy 2 day anniversary to Señor Frog (He got married Saturday!)

    COT

    The part is “ ”s are things I copied more or less completely, from the internet.

    “Thomas Aquinas (ca. 1225–1274) takes inspiration from antiquity, especially Aristotle. It was Aquinas’s conviction, that the Christian faith could only benefit from a profound engagement with philosophy and science. In 1879, Pope Leo XIII called for a revival in the study and teaching of Aquinas.”

     

    “The master principle of natural law, wrote Aquinas, was that “good is to be done and pursued and evil avoided.” Aquinas stated that reason reveals particular natural laws that are good for humans such as self-preservation, marriage and family, and the desire to know God.”

    We had a brief discussion afterwards. Whether you agree with Thomas Aquinas about natural law or not, I think he had something important to say. What is ‘good’? What is ‘evil’? Has the definition of ‘good’ changed over time or is it eternal? Is ‘good’ universal, the same for an atheist as for a Christian? How do we know something is ‘good’? Is it subject to empirical evidence? Is it a product of reason? Do we reason backwards from its consequences?

    Like perhaps all of you, I took plane geometry and I remember learning that an axiom or postulate was something we could not prove, but we took it as ‘true’ because it made ‘sense’. From that, we derived ‘corollaries’ or something that is true assuming the axiom or postulate is true.

    In other words, some things in life we accept as true even if we can’t prove it. I think that is the nature of a lot (or all) of philosophical and religious thinking. It makes sense to us. We take it on faith, but it cannot be proven. (You are welcome to disagree!)

    Oddly enough, science is not something that can be proven. Science is something that can only be disproven empirically. The philosophy of science is that an assertion is a scientific assertion if it can be disproven.

    “Karl Popper defined science as a system of theories that are falsifiable, meaning they can be tested and potentially proven wrong through observation or experimentation. This concept of falsifiability is the key criterion” of science.

    A little information about the Pope Leo XIV

    • First Augustinian Pope
    • Born on September 14, 1955, in Chicago, Illinois.
    • He served in Peru and became Bishop.
    • He has a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.
    • First Peruvian and American Pope.
    • Pope Leo XIV speaks: English, Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese. Additionally, he can read Latin and German.
    • Pope Leo is a Chicago White Sox fan

    We wish him well!

  • Music Maestro

    PSA: I was reviewing Big Data and I noticed the following:

    When you do a backblast and include the PAX, use the “,” after each name (instead of periods, spaces, amperstands, etc.) I see a lot of obvious errors.

    You should check your spelling of the name. For example, Gomer Pyle was spelled once as “Gommer Pyle”.

    You might want to look at a recent Big Data attendance report for obvious errors that you might have been responsible for and then correct your BB.

    Final suggestion: claim your aliases.

    Please understand that I have no problems with Bluegrass music. But this popped up on my Facebook feed and Whitesnake just got done with his Bluegrass Jam (not as tasty as Grape Jam), so I felt obligated to post this.

    “No man steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man.”  Attributed to Heraclitus,

    a Greek philosopher of Ephesus (Ephesians in the Bible) in present day Turkey who lived around 500 BCE, (prior to Socrates). In the situations we experience every day, they are different but more importantly, we are different. Lord, help us to grow wiser as we experience life.

    In the third temptation of Jesus (Luke 4: 9-12), the devil tells Jesus to throw himself down from the pinnacle of the temple because God will protect him. Jesus responds “Don’t put the Lord your God to the test.” The point; it’s one thing to ask for God to protect you from things you couldn’t prevent. But if you do something stupid, that’s on you.
