Problem with government intervention in anything

March 15, 2012

This fake issue invented by a ludicrous government mandate created a religious squabble
highlights once again the problem when you get government involved in the middle of anything where people differ, because (1) central planning historically never worked and backfired anyway, on micro- and macro- scales both, and (2) 10 people will always have about 15 different opinions on how to do anything, and (3) while some things are predictable (the sun will come up in the morning) nobody can predict the sum of all human behaviors with precision to be able to plan for them.

So somebody has to give in to the planners, whoever they are. Unless you just plan to let the people decide, not by a tyranny of the majority, or a tyranny of the purported majority. /

When does a human life begin?

The only independent and scientific way to define the beginning of the life of a human being is at conception, because that’s when the construction starts. There is no other natural cut-off point. Try as they will, breathing oxygen atmosphere directly instead of absorbing it through the placenta does not work in any way that is intrinsic to the “human organism” itself: Defining it as beginning at birth is a function of the external environment.

The heart beats at 4 weeks of conception. It grows rapidly in there.

To say it’s not “life” is ludicrous, because (1) the one cell has all the design necessary for the human adult including puberty, adolescence, and reproductions.

To say it’s not “human life” is ludicrous because it has 23 pairs of chromosomes, 50,000 from each parent, but in a unique new combination.

To say it’s not a “person” is to redefine “person”. To deny “personhood” to the baby, or to take brain waves, or breathing air, or location with respect to the womb, linguistic sophistication, all these are arbitrary, subjective judgments, and that includes this new outrage from . The courts can no more make a robot, or a chimp, or a corporation, into a real person any more than they can make a Jew or Gypsy into a non-person. Whether they abuse nature by treating them as such or not.

The Seven-Lesson Schoolteacher – By John Taylor Gatto, New York State Teacher of the Year, 1991 – informationliberation

November 10, 2011

Wow, this from the multi-year “schoolteacher of the year” of New York State? http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=29738

Are they going to act on this? I doubt it. The old Prussian model conformity indoctrination centers have worked well for their intended purpose.
