Let me remind the reader: a “cynic” is actually a disappointed idealist. Which means that the original issue is idealism, a philosophy that views the contents of the mind as more real than the material realm. Idealists, like I was most of my life, figure that if only we do so and so, in accordance with such and such beliefs, will everything be perfect.

Instead, as I have learned the hard way, “It’s a process.” It’s always a process. There’s no end point. And thank goodness! Imagine if time. just. stopped! As long as we are alive in these bodies, we will always be both thinking and acting, and usually, we have a great deal of trouble aligning the two in a way that makes sense for more than a nanosecond!

So. To begin:

Several people sent this Declaration of People of the United States for Global Peace and Prosperity to me last night, and I couldn’t bear to read through it then. I picked it up again this morning, and did read through it; and although my own published work often needs more thorough copy editing, you’d think such an important Declaration would have been at least copy-edited with a fine-toothed comb. Instead, even with a cursory reading I couldn’t help but notice a few incomplete sentences, as well as extra and/or mispelled words. You’d think “Man of God”  — who is, apparently, a group of people —would at least get these relatively minor linguistic matters correct in this apparent quest to use language legal enough and precise enough to confuse most of us as to what it’s really all about.

But maybe we can get the gist of it?

Here’s how reader Rose summed it up, at my request:

My personal take is that an ‘inner’ group has apparently focused on what I am personally translating as violations of  Constitutional  freedoms accorded to US citizens and guaranteed by the US Constitution, citing three paradigms as recent proof of violations of the Constitution.*
