Swarm Theory on the Mind

There is no right or guarantee in the Constitution or any other Founding document that can be construed to uphold any immoral practice or policy. Since all rights listed and implied are unalienable rights, and since unalienable rights are endowed by God, there is no place for the upholding of such items as gay marriage.  All our laws lie on moral and eternal laws of the universe.  Since right and wrong are mutually exclusive the latter cannot be based on the former. I know I’ve stated the same thing three times now, but there is no other way to say it.  It is that simple.  There are eternal moral laws.  There are eternal, unchangeable, unalienable rights based on these laws.  The only proper role of Government is to uphold and protect these unalienable rights.  Thus the written laws of these proper governments are centered around ensuring moral laws are established among men to allow men to exercise their unalienable rights.  In short, our law...

Before you get mad and start ranting and raving, listen.  Read this before you make any judgments. (Then you are free to rail on me and call me names and sling mud all you like.  I am also free to delete any comments that I believe are indecent or otherwise inappropriate.) So, how do I start? All the rights that we as individuals enjoy as citizens of this nation are not listed in the constitution.  The rights that are listed are understood to be simply protected by, and not granted by, the Constitution.  Every one of our rights comes from God and the eternal laws that govern the universe.  These rights were in existence before the Constitution was ever conceived.  These rights are unalienable.  Endowed upon us by God.  If you don’t agree with me, read your Declaration of Independence. (You do have a copy of that, don’t you?)  It states: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by thei...

The Constitution does not and, indeed by nature, cannot grant or create a single right. What it can and does do is enumerate some of our most essential rights. However, all the rights that we as individuals enjoy are not listed in the constitution. The rights that are listed are understood to be simply protected by, and not granted by, the Constitution. Every one of our rights comes from God and the eternal laws that govern the universe. These rights were in existence before the Constitution was ever conceived. These rights are unalienable and endowed upon us by God. If you don’t agree, read the Declaration of Independence. It states: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that 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—That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed…” The Cons...

I do now declare victory over every advocate for the removal of religion from schools.  I have a way in which I could teach “religion” and NO ONE could get me fired without a healthy debate. The Founders intended religion, morality and knowledge to be taught in schools: “Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.”  -The Northwest Ordinance  Article 3 In keeping with this declaration I can teach religious morals that are universally recognized as characteristics of good law-abiding citizens.  Additionally, in keeping with laws that state schools cannot promote a single religion over others or even religion over non-religion, I can encourage students to be active in their own religions or, if they have no religion, to be active in their own lives.  This applies, as far as I have studied, to ALL sound religion.  An example of an unsound re...

Here's something that fits my way of doing things perfectly: I have recently become aware that Chuck Norris is a columnist.  In his latest column he calls for us to show our patriot side and fly an old version of Old Glory this year.  The 13 star Betsy Ross, or the Gadsden flag ("Don't Tread on Me") are both prime examples of Old Glory as she once was. His reasoning for this is to spread awareness of how our government once was and how the Founders intended it to be.  By flying non-50-star Old Glories we prompt others to ask questions which then allows us to explain that we want to return to the revolutionary Revolution Era ideas that formed this country into one indivisible whole. On top of this I have my own challenge to issue. The Founding Fathers were well read, educated, and civil minded.  I encourage you to develop all three of these traits but I want to focus, for the moment, on the first part: well read.  In order to understand what the constitu...

Amid all the recent chaos and confusion of the political scene several organizations have come to my attention that I feel reflect my basic principles and beliefs.  Rather than try to explain each of these organizations myself I’ll just post links to their respective sites and let them explain themselves. http://www.the912project.com/the-912-2/ http://www.unitedinliberty.org/12_Principles_of_Liberty.html http://thetitleofliberty.org/about.html These links are not the home pages, but rather the pages that state each organization’s values.  I invite you to explore these organizations’ websites further and learn how you might get involved.

For those of you who have never blogged before, I want to tell you that you can do it. It may be intimidating at first, but I want you to know that it is possible. Even if you have nothing to write about, there is always something. For example, if you are a first time blogger, like me, you can write about your first blogging experience. This is my very first blog, so I am going to give this a try. I don't know how long I will go in between blogs, but I will try to keep it up to date. I don't even know who will see it, or if anyone will view it often. Oh, well. Here goes nothing. Collin (first time blogger)

Well, I know you want an explanation of the name of this blog so I'm going to give it to you. Swarm theory comes from how swarms of animals operate.  It looks at how ants decide who does what, how bees choose a new home, how horse betting is an accurate predictor of a race's outcome, and how birds fly in coordinated flocks. It shows how the collective can be smarter than any individual in that collective.  And, this is my personal opinion, how Wikipedia is really a very good source of information. I'm not really doing a great job explaining this, am I?  Check out the National Geographic article on swarm theory: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2007/07/swarms/miller-text .

Warning: This blog will be random. It will include items of wry humor, deepest contemplation, and irrelevant application. Any damage caused to your ego, opinion, or psyche by this blog will be the sole fault of the reader. I do not set out to hurt anyone's feelings or to deny anyone their beliefs, but this is bound to happen due to the nature of some of the subjects. Anything else that is normally included in a disclaimer may be inserted mentally by the reader at this point. This has been a public service announcement brought to you by the late night mind of a freshman in college who, having nothing better to do at this time of night and no money to do it with, has finally given in to the idea that he would like to author a blog.
