INTO THE ABYSS 195 A

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 195 A Well, can't say it was a surprise, I had called out #Facebook for leaning #Fascist over three years ago, so today I got thirty day restriction for calling out the Fascist for clamoring that their freedom of speech was being truncated. Ofcourse they will say that they are not the real fascists and it is, as always, in the eye the beholder. No doubt, when the chips are down no one likes the opposition to be heard, and the liberals are also guilty. So what is an open minded person to do. Freedom of speech comes with a great responsibility, to seek balance, to have true knowledge on the topic that one is addressing, to promote welfare of others, not be destructive, and much more. Then we run into what is right and what is wrong, and what should be said and what should not be promoted. Of course in the age of mass communication we have lost those boundaries, and the same time we have corporations and media companies deciding what is appropriate and what is not, and they are the self anointed judges and the juries. I had originally intended to write about Ian and its aftermath and the lessons learned, that will wait till later. As it has been with Ian, the world today is more complex than ever. Just as what I had said about Alito and the Supreme Court, referring to Thomas Paine, the people can't be ruled by the laws from centuries past, the same is true about free speech, and the same is true about the hurricanes and their aftermath. The world problems today are too big for small minded thinking and easy solutions. Ironic, that I am talking about the Supreme Court, the weather and free speech as if they are somehow connected, they are, in a way. Doesn’t it all go back to the same things, balance, fairness, knowing and justice. Whether it is about making laws, or it is about what should or shouldn't be said, or how to deal with a hurricane that is as unpredictable as it is ruinous. If we should take care of where, how and how much to develop, should we also care about how and to whom the laws apply and how they will affect people's lives, or what should and shouldn't be said to keep peace, and not alarm or entice people into doing unpleasant and unproductive behaviors. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 29 SEPTEMBER 2022
