St. Jude Hospital ads
   
These ads don't annoy me--just sadden me a little. I think St. Jude Hospital is a wonderful charity that does great things for children fighting cancer. I've even donated money to St. Jude before.

The one problem I have with this ad is: "No child is ever turned away because of a family's inability to pay." It always makes me wonder: Why can't this apply to everyone in every hospital? I think of the movie John Q, in which Denzel Washington actually ends up fighting COPS AND THE LAW to get his sick kid a heart transplant.

This is a pretty innocuous thread, but I brought it over for one reason.

2. most people use 'cops and the law' as there excuse for actions.

'cops and the law' only has meaning when compared to an external set of truth. Most think of 'cops and law' relative to them.

So if they compare some law, any law, to some action. and from that any law or any cop in their mind becomes valid. There must be a point of reference to view if the Cop or law is more correct or not.



Most think the cops are on their side. You have to see what side of the bigger outer elements the cops and laws of different types of systems are on also.

If a cop and some law is on the bad side, then fighting the cops and laws is the better decision, becuase they are not cops and laws by their own choice of action not compared to you, but compared to a universal outer concept of what is best for most people.


The label trap 'cops and law' is missuses by bad many times. What are they about, 2nd and 3rd defense helps with that.


Or you have to believe people mean nothing, or hate people, and what side is that again?



Once again comes the idea of judging what is good and bad by certainty, so at the same time you try to learn, and not judge, but correct what you see is wrong, since you can not be sure what is good or bad, and instead try to find what is good in most things as you understand it, from best thoughts on the topic.

Some think 'knowledge of good and evil' is any claim to feel anything is bad or good, no conscious or 'do what ever you want'. It also fits into people having no value or no meaning.

Is it possible that randomthoughts is the darkhorse winner of DOTY?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Lazy people always want something for nothing.
I am so convinced that Dummies are either, A) super lazy, B) very stupid or C) both A&B.
I'm going with C.
