Networks of Sin and Wickedness

That's a snappy title-maybe someone will read it for or ignore it for that. The topics of sin and wickedness are highly subjective topics. We know about ethical definitions for sin and wickedness--some have their own, others share an ontology of meaning and others are agnostic on right and wrong--the U.S. Congress for example has a net ambivalence about the need to reform health care for the benefit of the poor right away--its all about the middle class and the rich instead.

In the brave new world the poor will need to pay the rich for health insurance and the middle class will have public debt added in their name--the rich will get tax cuts and corporations pay no taxes anyway--it is written in instant message script. There must be a network of sin and wickedness in there somewhere. Yet we must move on...

The poor and their free or cheap software may be controlled by hidden code in the word processors of politics--these are not open source documents that transfer transparently from notepad to msword to open office, Google docs and yahoo things--only joking! Everything gets cut up, blocked and disappeared in such integrations of writing modalities. Microsoft's software proprietary needs places walls in the Internet world difficult for some to overcome. I don't blame them, yet it is exemplary of the problems with the elitist side of politics and software for legislative combinations producing nothing except public opportunity cost for time lost.

The world's poor, if on-line with cheaper, better, faster waterproof Internet technology will likely find a universe of politi-techical obstructions and software conditioning walls from the Communist Party of China to the Italian elites distrustful of political free speech on the Internet--and I don't blame them because the Internet is a kind of natural redistributor of free speech access and dissolvant compound for exclusive control of public thought...Much sin will be used and infused to repress the masses and restrict access to political control of rights to exhaust finite natural resources irresponsibly (they will say they are responsible)

If Satan is a real power, then the increase of sin would be a Satanic goal I would imagine; the more sin flourishes the easier it is to accomplish egregious wickedness in society and politics. A good corrupt political swamp has minions of corruption at all levels who have learned that virtue and democratic rights for all equally are quaint concepts. Many regimes on Earth validate the presence of evil, and Satan may be gaining strength in that regard even though it is an ephemeral increase of power that perishes in the bright light and heat of God and the Day ahead.

Sin may be like a tide that rolls in making all the ships of sophisticated wickedness in the harbor rise. Sin in one places enables wickedness in others. It is not necessary to be judgmental regarding sin--simply abstain from it-resist wickedness yourself so far as possible and do not wire up new connections for evil such that the increase of newtworks of sin tie up the world.

To brake up the hogtied society subjugated by sophisticated powers of wickedness and sin requires a cutting of the Gordian knots of evil that bind the decent human impulses and inalienable rights of civil liberties each individual has. Philosophically wickedness may be all those things that drive mankind towards the brink of chaos and disasters of sundry sorts--sin-not just the obvious sins such as theft and homosexuality, adultery, murder and so forth, but the less obvious ones such as avarice (greed), gluttony etc. make mankind less trusting and less willing to solve mass social challenges successfully.

The world may be headed towards several disasters-even in Haiti steel pipe geodesic domes approved by the Fuller Institute are not being prioritized for construction--instead wood and plastic instant boxy slummier housing than donating countries are going up--there are innumerable economic and political sins that together strengthen the networks of sin and wickedness that could be associated with a planet-wide real-politik misery index. The reduction of the misery and sin index requires simultaneous advances and not with violence and persecutions either.

Someone usefully commented that entitlements may be considered to be a pervasive evil. I thought I would consider the topic of entitlements a little here in order to try to define what they are...

Entitlements must be perjoratively all those things that one has or uses yet does noot supply for-oneself. That would include not only those receiving government payments such as Medicare, social security, veterans benefits and so forth, but also things like airports, traffic signals, schools and any accumulated public infrastructure that one has not paid for oneself but feels entitled to. The list may be quite lengthy.

Some 'entitlements' are necessary; one is entitled to good police and fire protection most may think, or to a good military defense--one wants good chefs and hospitals and good highways rather than those with potholes. One is entitled to a good government that runs a balanced budget while supplying all the aforementioned and doesn't get it; so that I may reasonably ask; What is the social reasoning for having a good society-is that an entitlement?

A good society is not just a matter of switching word-terms about and blaming this or that imbalance--it is a matter of public intelligence and will equal to the challenging era eco-politically in which they live. A millionaire is one that owned a mill and had plenty--he or she had a lot of paper credits for being an owner of a productive fact (ory). A healthy society sets real goals (L.B.J. tried with The Great Society) to achieve within the actual means at its disposal--it is not simply a matter of possessing paper cash loaned by productive societies.

To achieve quality lifestyles and plentiful opportunities for all U.S. citizens within a stable population, with secure borders, with a recovering ecosystem and the proverbial liberty and justice for all requires intention and political will. A lassez fair attitude toward democratic responsibility in the present global demographic environment is a recipe for disaster.
Writing on a cosmology thread--someone used the term 1 to -1 to describe a relationship of the presence of quanta in the vacuum before the big bang. The problem of a terminology to describe real political space is absent in the United States today. Cash or capital power is the basic entitlement as an abstract moral right, it is held by some.

Yet cash and personal power to have property are civil determined by force. It may be the intellectual force of an enlightened democratic electorate or a guy with a totaliitarian control of nuclear weapons. In a limited, finite geo-political area orderly change and universal political liberty for the greatest number of people must be a fundamental entitlement for-itself.

Defining terms, and understanding them as well as the true social intentions of others, are essential for the effort to assure that corrupt social and political hegemony is cut back and contained.

Terms such as entitlement are perhaps referents to government pay-outs of tax money to people such as retirees, veterans, the disabled corporate contractors and so forth. Sin however is far more fundamental and subtle--why did the bad reconstruction for Iraq occur causing two trillion dollars of subsequent expense, why did the Wall Street Mortgage crisis occur?

A bad social environment steeped in sin and networks of wickedness stimulates the promulgation of legislation that is only less bad than others instead of being forthright and neccesary corrections beneficial for the public interest.
