LET’S BE CLEAR

(Role Models, Heroes, Idols and Loads of Hooey)

To learn life, what children need are loving families, close friends, competent teachers, and loyal pets. What they never need is useless athletes, frivolous actors, dippy actresses, noisome rock stars, brutal cops, military maniacs, nit witted media, and deceitful politicians.

It’s clear, then, that young people should never look to Alex Rodriguez, Michael Phelps, etc., vulgar “rappers,” racist cops, uniformed murderers, religious fanatics, politicians like George Bush and cohorts, media fools like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Bible thumpers like Jerry Falwell, womanizing alcoholics like Babe Ruth, torturers like Michael Vick, racists like Ty Cobb, slobs like Charles Barkley, etc.

Laugh and spit at the Janus faced hypocrites shedding crocodile tears over marijuana use. Below is an historical list of such phonies.

REALITY TWISTED
Individual Human Being As Collective Sacrifice


Leviathan is a mercurial monster. Its historical forms appear as tribalism, monarchy, democracy, republican, aristocracy, totalitarianism, socialism, Nazism, communism; there are its theistic shapes paganism, Judaism, Islamism, Buddhism, Christianity, etc. Though it wasn’t Tennyson’s intent, his poetic lines “red in tooth and claw” sum up all of the above.

All of them, at one time or another have been considered to be “perfect” Platonic forms ruling the only provable existent in the universe—the individual human being. (For this proof see chapter two of my book, EVERYMAN AND WOMAN AN ISLAND, The Individual Human Being as PRIME in the Universe.)
