Seeking the key to a more perfect union
Teaching the ABCs of a more perfect union with three branches of government demands skills of tolerance and logical, respectful debate that avoid gridlock and the devolution of our nation into hopeless division and the paralysis of unforgiving hatred.
If I have two horses and you have two cows, we will be richer through interdependent friendship if we give, not sell, one to the other. But, if you give me some money and I give you the same amount, what good is that? If I propose something good and you propose something better, we are still Free to improve any proposal. I want you to be Free to come up with something better.
A breakfast picnic sharing fresh-baked buttered bread beneath God’s clear blue sky is only one way to fulfill the Divine Will. Love begets more love, even among atheists not afraid of burning in hell. Instead of Jews and Palestinians killing each other to achieve peace in the unholy Holy Land, wouldn’t it be better to give birth to more motivated peacemakers through intermarriage, even if they have to climb over walls topped with razor wire? Shouldn’t our goal be to come up with something better? Not just for our benefit but so God, Whose identity is Perfect Love, will look down on us, regarding His will and consider it done.
