We need to think beyond our narrow perspectives.

August 29, 2007

Can Words Hurt?: Words gain all their meaning through symbolism.

Defining to Repudiate: Some thoughts on the word in context with modern society.

It Is A Funny Thing To Mock: Thoughts on social satire and it's place at challenging a free society.

Let's Spend the Night Together: How one Stones song went from Taboo to Family Radio.

Moral Permissiveness: People should consider all thoughts and possibilities, even if they are 'wrong'.

Our Ability to Grow: Free speech allows us to critically consider things, including those of bad taste.

Narrow Minded

One of my concerns is that we all are very narrowed minded with our application of public policies. We have environmentalists with a fetish over global warming. We have business people with a fetish over higher taxes. It seems everybody has one obession or another.

We as a society need to take a broader perspective. We need to always be questioning and looking for new problems that our policies may be generating. We must always be learning and discovering new benefits and downsides towards every policies. We must reach out to a variety of peoples and see how things effect them.

As time evoles we learn new things and explore our world to a greater detail. People's whose concerns are at one time are marginalized, are embraced as changing political beliefs make concerns legitimate. The world evolves.

This is why we must always be questioning and trying to push to expand our knowledge—and trying to see beyond ourselves.
