Hi ya all hardened thinkers,
Can I take sides? Are any of these arguments trying to tap into some kind of pre-eminent existence which as of itself has its own scope? Is this a weak actress who never gets to sing on stage because of all the smoke screens which accompanies her performance? This weak link with a pre-existing being only becomes apparent when all the side shows no longer form a part of the symphony and the link then becomes clear, expressible and reactive. |

I think all the emergent qualities which arise from human interaction in society biases the memories against genetic pre-conditioning and without careful attention causes the genetic links to recede into the realm of less powerful memories.
Biasing memories seem to be a natural part of human intelligence. When a biased memory emerges as an intelligent occupation of the human and it is unbiased by genetic intelligence the stage is then set for blinding the human to its other characteristics whenever the biased memory takes center stage. Where does this lead me in further thought? Perhaps I may be asked to defend the polarity of genetic intelligence in terms of absolute morality. If asked, I will simply respond with what seems to be the exchanges necessary for life to be viable. An inherent morality which is engrained in genetic success. |

What kind of RIGHTS are we discussing and what implications?
Rights to the basics of life, i.e. food, air, water,etc. Rights to be free of hostle acts against you, i.e. crimes, including murder. Other rights? Point is, Rights are a result of the society we live in. Always have been. And that is the first thing we have missed in this discussion, the history of rights as they have evolved from the stone age up. To understand this process would go a long way towards understanding that during the course of history we as humans have had /tried a lot of different things that resulted in rights. The rights we talk of today really are consistant with the level of the society we live in today and are a product of that combined history. I submitt to you that the rights you have are the simple result of a trial and error process that has results based on the simple concept, THAT RIGHT WORKS! Based in history of course. Now for the hard part, the whys? That answer is as complex as mankind itself. This must be studied using a case by case method, together with the maltitude of reasons a individual responds to concerning that "RIGHT". And that brings me to the next point, the psychiatric impact of a right to the individual. The rights that have worked the best over the long haul are consistant within a psychiatry and a individual I submitt. (as apposed to a collective) Lastly, some rights are transitory in history. Earlier I mentioned the right to a free press. When viewed as a history that right is a Johnny come lately "RIGHT". It's true concept was not fully realized till the invention of the printing press. Today in the free world we take it for granted.(more or less) With the invention of the world internet that we are now using, I wonder out loud if that "RIGHT" is a mute point. cobrashock, Ron Shockley |
