I want to be an example for my daughter and community. I want to show that getting involved is getting your voice heard. I believe that all people have a right to work, own a home, start a family, pursue their life's joy, and to do it without discriminatory policies getting in the way. If we could all take a breath and focus on one phrase " Be excellent to each other," then perhaps we could begin to see the harm we are doing to our neighbors, our friends, and our families. Perhaps we could realize that all people are human beings, worthy of respect and dignity. Taking away another person's rights does not give the oppressors more. Hate, discrimination, intolerance never made anything great.
That's it. I'm a guy trying to do the best he can in this world. Trying to ensure that his daughter inherits a better world, a safer world, a more just world, than the one he grew up in.- Any piece of legislation that harms, or limits a person's rights, is inherently bad. Any piece of legislation being proposed should examined under the lens of "whom will this hurt," if it harms anyone then perhaps that legislation should be rethought.
- A person's rights, and autonomy, should be never be up for debate. When people use the phrase "inalienable human rights" I believe it. The phrase is not "inalienable human rights, until it's inconvenient" or "inalienable human rights, until we need a taking point." The only that should have a say in how a person lives their life is that person. It is not the governments duty, on any level, to dictate morality ( didn't exactly work during Prohibition). I believe it is the governments duty to ensure that every human being is represented equally, fairly, and truthfully; to ensure that all people are guaranteed justice and due process; to strive for the betterment of all.
- People and politicians have forgotten that they serve at the will of the people. Politicians are public servants. The only power representatives, senators, council persons have are what the people entrust them with. Citizens do not live to serve policy makers. Citizens are not subject to the whims if government. People have forgotten that they hold the power. Politicians have forgotten that they need the people, the people don't necessarily need them.
There are three branches of government, a church is not one of them.
Rebecca Needham Anderson. The only relief worker to die during the Murrah Building Bombing rescue efforts.
Jasmine Crockett. A Congresswoman from Texas who has no issue speaking her mind and calling out ridiculous policy and antics on Capitol Hill. Excellent role model, and needed voice
"Be excellent to each other"
I want tomorrow to be better than today. I want my daughter to have a better world than I did.
Neighbors helping neighbors. Doing the right thing because it is the right thing, not for recognition or reward.
A rad-ish.
