For a principal to be true in the Macro is must also be true in the Micro. Failed policies, beliefs, and philosophies ignore this truth and seek to impose their will on others. History often bares this out but as a society we are so self important we believe that because we are involved, this time it will be different. It will not be different, for there is nothing new under the sun.
Let me give you some examples:
Individually, we know if we work very hard for something we value it more than if someone just gives it to us. Examples in the Macro - public housing vs. private neighborhoods. Have you ever seen pictures of new public housing and then a retrospect of what the same housing looks like 10 years later? It is shameful, but demonstrates the point. If you are "given" a home you do not have to work for or earn, what insentive do you have to take care of it? None! If given a choice, which would you choose, where would you live?
Evolution vs. Creation - in Creation the beginning is God. In Evolution they can not tell you the beginning. If you can not start with the first atom and explain where that came from, everything there after is based on a false premise and is then applied to the world and the universe at large.
Sincere and honest belief makes something true, truth is individual, and should be tolerated as equally valid. This premise is applied to the macro of "personal faith" all the time, but it is ludicrous when applied to the micro. If I sincerely believe that the plate of potato salad in front of me is a steak sandwich no matter how sincerely I believe it, it does not make it true. If I sincerely believe that Ronald McDonald is the son of God does my sincere belief deserve the same respect as those who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?
Truth is relative - If I sincerely believe I am an alien from Ork does that make it so? No, it only sends me to a mental hospital! If a rapist believes he is making love to a woman and that there is nothing wrong with that, does that make rape okay?
Communism vs. Free Enterprise - Communism ALWAYS fails in the micro and the macro. It is only in the minds of the Utopians where it doesn't. Unfortunately, there are enough mislead and deceived souls out there that will ignore history, ignore real world examples, and continue to live in LaLa Land.
Thus, I have briefly demonstrated the point that if something is not true at all levels then it can not be true at any level. We must reject the lies and insist on the truth. We must stop "tolerating" irrational suppositions and shine the light of sense, reason, and logic on the things that are only true in someone's mind. We must stop supporting policy and regulations that seek to ignore human nature and impose a misguided vision on those they seek to help. It is time my friend to stop humoring those who believe the lies and it is time to start speaking the truth.
