Topic: Immigration
Title: PROTECT IP Act
I used the topic of immigration here because I felt it was fitting, although not exactly the subject I intend to write about. Here it is, pass that act and i’ll emigrate as soon as possible and will do anything in my power to protest such an act. I wish to be free in my own country, to protect myself on the internet as much as I can protect my home. This bill is threatening my freedom AND security at the same time.
Amendment I to the Constitution -
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press”In this case you are effectively abridging the freedom of speech/press.
Amendment IV to the Constitution -
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”The government would effectively be entitled to the search and seizure of online effects without a warrant and I feel this is unreasonable. If I do not have a right to secure a means of exchange, then why should I live here? Or anyone for that matter?
Amendment V to the Constitution -
“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.”My and many others exist on the internet intellectual property , you are depriving me of my liberty previous to a process of law. The right to protecting myself was upheld by the courts throughout the history of this country. Toss aside that right, allow myself to be tracked, monitored, my data stolen, and allow companies to do the same and I will have no choice, but to leave this country.
Amendment IX to the Constitution -
“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”Disable my rights and I am no more than a slave.
Please give this to who ever you feel can make a difference, I cannot stand for it, I cannot suffer it. Please submit it to everyone in the house and senate if you need to.
Those who know me would probably call me the most stubborn person they know, my parents, my girlfriend, my teachers, my closest friends, all believe I am one of the most stubborn they have ever met. Well here is why, I refuse to do something that I do not understand, I did not want to learn to read because it was not explained to me why I should. Once it was explained I quickly went on to the highest of reading levels simply because I realized that reading was good for me. My father had a similar story with punishment which he loves to tell anyone who listens, when I was younger any time my parents attempted to punish me by telling me to do something such as sitting in a chair I would simply say “no.” They would then attempt to place me there and hold me while I struggled, punching, nawing anything to hurt them or myself to cause them pity. I sound like a brat right? Interesting enough, eventually I told them what their problem was, at the age of ten I explained that they needed to be fair. I understood I had as much power as they did to command, only less physical force. However, to my advantage I had their pity for me and reluctance of using their strength. Which led me to simply explain to them that if they treat me fair and deal with me by giving me chores in order to give me freedom, I would be willing to do as I am told. I was not willing to accept punishments for something which I did not understand or something that I did not agree to.
Take this lesson to all parents, learn to teach your children how to trade, explain every action. I do not remember one time where I have accepted punishment which I felt to be unjust, nor have I ever committed what I would consider a crime or broken a rule which I felt to be just. I have never stolen, never hurt another unless force was used on me, I avoided arguments, I avoided discussing in class unless called upon, I never speak at my job except to ask or answer questions. This is how I have been my whole life, even since I was a child, perhaps if children were taught that this is the right way to act, to trade to communicate, to discuss WHY to do something parents would have a better handle on their children as well as teach them how to react in the world.
I sat down to one of the many debates scheduled for the Republican candidates to state there positions and apparently feelings on why they should be President. The only ones who did not seem to state why they feel they should be President of the United States is Rick Santorum and Ron Paul from what I could tell. The new beast, that is Newt-Romney, has so elegantly stated how I feel about the two of them. The new Newt-Romney beast has forever tied together the two leading candidates, a good call Michele Bachmann’s crew, hopefully forming a lasting tie in all the viewers brains that will hold Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney as a single unit, forcing a split between their votes. It has yet to be seen how many jokes will be made, but it is certain that the new Newt-Romney monstrosity will dampen the hopes of both parties, or at least, brighten the spirits of those listening to jokes!
Every time I turn on CNN or msnbc I feel the urge to scream, rarely have I seen any poll in which Ron Paul has come in the lead from either channel. In most cases I have not even seen Ron Paul mentioned in any news broadcast, this race is considerably better than that of 2008 in which I had not even known Ron Paul was running until half way through the primaries (even watching most of the debates).
When I look at the state of the United States I can not help but wonder not, “how did we get here?” but “how do we plan to fix it?” For the last few years over and over again I have heard, “the banks did this,” “the government did this,” “greed did this,” “investors did this,” but none of this matters from what I see! Here is what I see the issue is, that right now our country is spiraling into debt, causing the masses to organize and complain about corporate taxes, the unemployed to cause stress on their families, the states to cut funding to schools, and many other factors that come with a poor economy. This is the only way I can see it getting better:
This all may have been done somewhere before, but I have yet to come across it and many of the readers (including, me the author) may find this rather unnecessary, however it is an exercise in thinking. Also, it just so happens that I have been accused of always being so negative and this is my proof/reasoning on how there is no other way to be in this instance. The only way to determine if someone is a “good” or “bad” mate is to decide first what one is looking for, then see if the person in question fits that criteria, if not, they are a “bad” choice. When eventually a “good” choice is found they fit! However, everyone previous to that “good” choice has been “bad”…
Now imagine how many people that the regular person passes in a day, each one sized up must there for be a “bad” choice, hundreds, thousands, all determined to be “bad” choices, no wonder people feel that I am negative….
Here is my logic.
Hypothesis:
It is impossible to determine who would make a good mate from a distance, each person must be examined and determined, either that they would make a good mate would not make a good mate. Meaning that the entire human race is a possible mate previous to examination, IE you can never say that someone would make a “good boyfriend/girlfriend” only “that one would make a bad one.”
Premise:
Here are the principles that must be followed to determine a “good” mate:
1) If a male or a female are attracted to another person (opposite or same sex makes no difference) then the person will create constructs (or what they believe are the ideal traits for a person).
2) These constructs (for better or worse) are the basis of what we look for in a mate.
3) The person in question (the possible mate) must be examined in order to determine if they match up with the constructs that were created.
Conclusion:
Based on these principles there is no way to determine who is a “good” mate or a “bad” mate until they are in some way examined. If a person on the street passes another and neither interact, well they are still considered a “bad” mate because they did not fill one of the necessary premises to determine a “good” mate,
3) The person in question (the possible mate) must be examined in order to determine if they match up with the constructs that were created.
even after examination many people will not match our constructs either, just think of all the friends the average person has, class mates, fellow employees, none match the constructs and there for do not meet the criteria of a “good” mate and there for must make a “bad” mate.
