Every vote will make a difference and do not let the Associated Press, New York Times and other Leftist media outlets attempted brain washing keep you from not voting.

Every Republican VOTE will make a difference!!!

Human knowledge is a fraction of the whole universe.
The balance is a vast void of human ignorance. Human
reason cannot fully function in such a void; thus, the
intellect can rise no higher than the criteria by which it
perceives and measures values.

Humanism makes man his own standard of measure.
However, as with all measuring systems, a standard
must be greater than the value measured. Based on
preponderant ignorance and an egocentric carnal
nature, humanism demotes reason to the simpleton
task of excuse-making in behalf of the rule of appe-
tites, desires, feelings, emotions, and glands.

Because man, hobbled in an ego-centric predicament,
cannot invent criteria greater than himself, the humanist
lacks a predictive capability. Without instinct or trans-
cendent criteria, humanism cannot evaluate options with
foresight and vision for progression and survival. Lack-
ing foresight, man is blind to potential consequence and
is unwittingly committed to mediocrity, collectivism,
averages, and regression - and worse. Humanism is an
unworthy worship.

The void of human ignorance can easily be filled with
a functional faith while not-so-patiently awaiting the
foot-dragging growth of human knowledge and behav-
ior. Faith, initiated by the Creator and revealed and
validated in His Word, the Bible, brings a transcend-
ent standard to man the choice-maker. Other philo-
sophies and religions are man-made, humanism, and
thereby lack what only the Bible has:

1.Transcendent Criteria and
2.Fulfilled Prophetic Validation.

The vision of faith in God and His Word is survival
equipment for today and the future. Only the Creator,
who made us in His own image, is qualified to define
us accurately.

Human is earth's Choicemaker. Psalm 25:12 He is by
nature and nature's God a creature of Choice - and of
Criteria. Psalm 119:30,173 His unique and definitive
characteristic is, and of Right ought to be, the natural
foundation of his environments, institutions, and re-
spectful relations to his fellow-man. Thus, he is orien-
ted to a Freedom whose roots are in the Order of the
universe.

Each individual human being possesses a unique, highly
developed, and sensitive perception of diversity. Thus
aware, man is endowed with a natural capability for enact-
ing internal mental and external physical selectivity.
Quantitative and qualitative choice-making thus lends
itself as the superior basis of an active intelligence.

Human is earth's Choicemaker. His title describes
his definitive and typifying characteristic. Recall
that his other features are but vehicles of experi-
ence intent on the development of perceptive
awareness and the following acts of decision and
choice. Note that the products of man cannot define
him for they are the fruit of the discerning choice-
making process and include the cognition of self,
the utility of experience, the development of value-
measuring systems and language, and the accultur-
ation of civilization.

The arts and the sciences of man, as with his habits,
customs, and traditions, are the creative harvest of
his perceptive and selective powers. Creativity, the
creative process, is a choice-making process. His
articles, constructs, and commodities, however
marvelous to behold, deserve neither awe nor idol-
atry, for man, not his contrivance, is earth's own
highest expression of the creative process.

Human is earth's Choicemaker. The sublime and
significant act of choosing is, itself, the Archimedean
fulcrum upon which man levers and redirects the
forces of cause and effect to an elected level of qual-
ity and diversity. Further, it orients him toward a
natural environmental opportunity, freedom, and
bestows earth's title, The Choicemaker, on his
singular and plural brow.

This jibes with so much else that you have been saying.

Have just started Bobbit's Shield of Achilles, which I believe that you recommended to me once.

I intellectually comprehend the occurrence of most of the things that you talk about, and that Bobbit discusses; along with what is observed and discussed by most of the 4th Generation War crowd such as Professor van Creveld, Lind and others. I know it exists and is probably the way things are going, but that is a long, long way from liking it very much.

In my less lucid, Jameson's-fueled moments: it looks like we are growing away FAST, from the post-industrial era in which the United States had a tremendous advantage in resources, knowledge and everything else that was important; and racing instead towards a world that advantages anarchists (both of the politico and bomb-thrower variety), programming geeks, finance geniuses, pirates of all kinds and Asian commodities traders.

I now, sort of, understand how the cavalry probably looked at the demonstration of early machine guns.

God help my son and his friends (if they're allowed to pray to Him), because it doesn't look like much of anything else will.

El Jefe, I hadn't made the connection with some of my writings and these articles except in the most tenuous sense. It's interesting that you perceived there to be a link.

I think you'll like some of the things I'll write about this week . . .

I was thinking not so much of a direct link between your writings and all this religious/millenial speculation as I was of the fact that the networked world, as opposed to the hierarchial world seems to empower -- to network -- so many diverse groups of cranks.

In a nutshell: God is the author, science is the proofreader. Science can not create anything without starting with something God created first. Whether it's an atom, a nutron, or a cell it was here long before them.
