No preconditions promote anarchy and little else.

Comprehensive anything => No Solution Available

Published on February 21, 2011 By BoobzTwo In Politics

I have noted many support this effort in futility here at Home and abroad. I think there should be at least an effort to filter out some of the gobbledygook that has to be used to support nonsensical arguments.

For those so inclined, I would like to know what good or sensible results people think are possibly without preconditions. This is precisely the reason we can accomplish little constructiveness here in America.

If you want to solve the illegal immigration problem, you have to limit (precondition) the discussion to border control only … because it has nothing at all to do with human rights or the numbers of illegals already here or what we may eventually do about them. And the reality is we are not even allowed to discuss the problem let alone try and solve this minor problem. I try to limit myself to what I consider is good for America which I equate with good for our electorate.

This is the liberal way (governmental way?); the delusion that problems have to be (can only be) solved comprehensively is just that, a delusion. Obama has stated on many occasions that “We cannot drill our way out of our dependency on foreign oil” … huh … and that is it? Drilling and processing our own natural resources will do many good things with virtually no adverse effects. There are of course the permanent jobs that would be needed; the construction, the processing and the delivery … and we do not have to subsidize any of this nor invent wondrous things that may eventually prove reasonable in the future. This will reduce our dependency on OPEC and many others. Don’t even get me going on Nuclear power (my profession).

Comprehensive Reform demands NO preconditions: Immigration, racial, energy, financial, housing, medical, education, religious, S.S., Medicare and Medicaid to name a few … and how has all this been going? As far as I can see, this insanity IS what is preventing us from addressing the actual problems, go figure. I believe this unnecessary madness is intentional and politically driven for the un-expressed (?) purpose of promoting separation and segregation of the electorate to PREVENT any real solutions at all. Not my idea of the function of any government or organization.

Yes, my cynicism should be evident; as should my frustrations in our government … I just hope there are MANY like-minded people out there who also have the wherewithal to remove the incumbents post haste at every opportunity until the miscreants begin to understand who works for whom. They just do not get it … yet!

I know what I'm about to write might not make a lot of sense at first but bare with me, there is a point and a link to this topic.

There's a Star Trek The Next Generation episode where members of 2 different species fight over a medicine that one creates and the other one desperately needs to survive because payment had not been received. What those who needed it did not know whats that the medicine had already cured them and what they were feeling was simply the effects of a drug addiction. The others who made the medicine knew the sick people had already been cured but chose not to tell them because they had based their entire society on the production and profit of this medicine which had only one client and telling them would kill this business.

Basically I think our Gov't works the same way. Why create a cure (a solution) for a problem and eliminate your usefulness when you can create a treatment (a temporary solution) that will allow you to be needed again. Kinda like making a car that never breaks down therefor eliminating the need for high charging mechanics.

There was a similar Star Trek (Kirk) who relived the 'cracking the small side of the egg or the big side syndrome'. It concerned two populations (planets) whose populations were identical in all respects but one. In one race, their left side was completely black and the other was all black on the right side (of course their other sides were white). Boy they used a lot of metaphors didn’t they? Anyway the final result was that both entire populations were annihilated … except for one person from each side. And even though there were no planets or populations to give their prejudices any meaning, the show ended with these sole survivor continued fight to the death regardless of the fact that they were incapable of destroying each other (heaven knows why?) endevoring to fight purposelessly for eternity, go figure.

I believe we are headed in this direction (not total annihilation) where America is fundamentally changed along this line of bigoted thinking. The solutions seem so simple … yet so very far away.

I love star trek, and remember both episodes. But on a gripe, does anyone other than me think that too many of the themes of the original Star Trek were repeated in TNG? Almost verbatim as far as plot lines. That is my biggest disappointment with TNG.

Couldn't have said it better.

It is my WAG, but I am not sure there are that many different scenarios that can be entertainingly portrayed that will not promote us silly humans from grouping them into the categories our stereotyped society has established.

In Charles’s TNG story, I think there are so many ‘human stupid issues’ that I would have trouble listing them all. In my version, it was pretty much an example of racial stupidity and all that entails.

Personally, I fell in love with the original series and had trouble liking all the different ‘copycat’ versions … but with advancements in technology (and myself) and such, I eventually accepted them all (for their own merits)... I would be hard-pressed now to try and pick out the “Best” series.

I never truly watched the original series so can't say for sure if they were similar but I guess one can only create so many alien problems that apparently only humans have the ability to solve.

All the versions of Star Trek follow the same mold. Only the names and places and technology have changed. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite though.
