Rewrite #2: What is Formal-Culture Versus What is Diversity For the Sake of Diversity?

While she lives homeless at one

end of the spectrum, the Wretch
represents the people 

While he sits enthroned at the

other end of the spectrum, the king
represents tyranny.

Exceptionalism: 

A Political Model 

For the New World

The People<================\\Moderate Middle//================>Tyranny

Concerning tyranny, our Founders made the following affirmation within the Declaration of Independence:

But then a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

The phrase, "But then a long train of abuses and usurpations, . . . " implies a willful and deliberate manufacturing of consent of the people -- to stumble them up so to speak.  The phrase "pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design . . . " implies a narrowing towards a clear agenda.  Finally, the phrase "to reduce them under absolute Despotism, . . ." implies a return to tyranny under the rule of a king vested with absolute power.      

Furthermore, the words, "it is their right, . . ." implies the kind of natural right spoken about by John Locke.  This inborn natural right needn't be granted legally and, so, it cannot be repealed.  Such a right reduces on the physical level to the extent of the soul.  According to this understand of natural rights, we the people are enslaved "to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."  Our Founders repeat this point further by the next affirmation of "it is their (our) duty, . . .." 

Doing our duty means fighting against the false dichotomies that are now poisoning our nation.  Beyond that, we need to establish what is the true dichotomy.  Metaphysically, once we understand reality as an eternal conflict going on between a sovereign king and a worthless wretch, then we will see the false dichotomies for the nonsense they truly are and, from that time on, avoid any discussions of them.   

Again, to name just a few of these false dichotomies, or political conflicts, there are male against female, black against white, rich against poor, and so on endlessly.  In the political spectrum presented above, the people stand at the moderate middle between two political extremes.  These two inversed symbols of a wretch and a king, or perverses if you will, should be considered equal as they were once declared to be so in the Declaration of Independence by our Founders.  While he may appear greater than her, she is more distracted within.  In the end, as our Founders affirmed:

all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

As Socrates once pondered, if every soul is part of one single Soul, with the latter of the two being all knowing, then why are souls born so different?  Why would one soul grow to sit as a king on a throne while another is born to live wretched on the street?  To answer this question, he developed a theory called "recollection."   As souls during their birthing process suffer different amounts of trauma; so, each is going to forget different amounts of knowledge.

To help souls recollect the lost knowledge that they lost at birth, Socrates likened himself as a serving mid-wife philosopher to the poor (His mother worked as a mid-wife helping poor women give birth).        

Another poison destroying our nation today is change for the sake of change.  We must understand this nonsense as the worst kind of chaos.  After all, the greatest of benefits are those that are derived from the most precious of benefits.  As Americans, our lightening in a bottle is the inheritance that was passed down to us both from the age of Enlightenment and from our Founding Fathers. 

*Fd. Uncle Emanuel Watkins
**Acting Supreme Court Justice   

*What a "widget" is to the hypothetical manufacturing and marketing of a product, so is the name "Fd. Uncle Emanuel Watkins" being used here.  Indeed, he is a character I developed, as Abraham Lincoln once said, of, by, and for the people.  He was created with the prerequisite advancement of the people's Civil Purpose in mind.  I am now playing the part of this character in order to keep the government -- the necessary tyranny our Founders established as part of a more perfect Union -- from taking up council against the people.  The title Fd. which is at the beginning of his name literally means "Founder."  This title of Founder would be worn by any person skilled in a position of leadership other than those skilled as an attorney including such positions as law making, lawyering, and / or legal education.

**During this corrupt age of judicial corruption, Fd. Uncle Emanuel Watkins has stepped in temporarily to act as the most supreme of all courts.
