The US Constitution represents a pivotal moment in history, a time of human maturity in establishing of government by the people for the people empowered with the the consent of the governed to protect their inalienable rights. It’s the strongest weapon we have to protect us from tyranny.
Thank you

I imagine a Star Trek world, where the needs of the many and the needs of the few carry equal weight under the law, and no one has to pay for anything.
I just reread an Asimov book that dealt with similar questions and showcased the US Constitution as a mature document that destroys tyranny and the fuel of despotism by forming a Government deriving its powers from the consent of the governed to secure peoples' rights
🎁Shared more about it ⬇️
The Stars, Like Dust by Isaac Asimov written in 1951 deals with themes of prejudice, despotism, and overthrowing tyrants.
In fact, I just re-read a 1951 Asimov book that referred to the US Constitution as the strongest weapon in the universe to destroy tyranny and prevent the changing of one despotism for another... a time of maturity has come as it had on Earth
Makes you wonder if Roddenberry had read this book too?
US Constitution preamble: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
The US CONSTITUTION & DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and/or their key THEMES of #Justice, #Liberty, #Freedom, end of Tyranny / #noKings, unalienable #Rights, for the #people by the people (by consent of the governed)...
are leveraged often by writers (ie repeatedly in many of Asmiov's 88 novels)
I hope your Monday looks like this! 😘 #CaturdayEveryday

Good morning Foxy and Friends!!!!!! Thank you for all the great shares, comments and posts. Always a great way to start the day.
🎁 Sharing this Oliver Wilde quote along with an article a budding author wrote on originality....⬇️

Translated - “Without social justice, freedom is an empty word.”
FYI - The big b bill provides massive write-offs for the expenses associated with R&D if the expense work is done on U.S. soil. It is a write-off and in some cases a dollar for dollar savings. These will lower companies effective tax rates.
Funny. I was just reading a little Thich Nhat HanH last night; he advises "...melt in to relaxation the way a cat does by a warm fire..". You post helped drive the point home. Ty 🙂
I learned in sports in my youth that for every move, there is a counter-move. It's also true in the technology world. When one side rises up, the other rises to meet it - sellers / buyers and the omnipresence of data...
"To the rest of the Galaxy, if they are aware of us at all, Earth is but a pebble in the sky. To us it is home, and all the home we know..." ~Isaac Asimov
Ty for sharing Fred. Reminds me of
"Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made..."
It's from "Rabbi Ben Ezra" by the Victorian poet Robert Browning. In full disclosure I found it in an Asimov book
We seem to have lost the source for this one (the post your comment was attached to). May I offer another? ⬇️
Someone I know recently wrote an essay on "originality" that quotes Wilde. That quote and the essay itself has me contemplating as well.

⬆️Brilliant
I an hopefully expectant of a Curren essay/sustack on the matter... ;-)
Speaking of which, I just shared an essay someone else I know wrote that leverages Oscar Wilde as a launching point for life contemplating questions... I believe you will enjoy this one ⬇️

I just shared an essay someone wrote (in the post linked below ⬇️) that leverages Oscar Wilde as a launching point for opinions and life contemplating questions...

Besides that, its motivated me to go back to read and re-read Wilde myself.
Motivated by an essay I just read (and shared) that leveraged Oscar Wilde as a launching point, I went back and re-read of few of his essays and posted about his "Impressions of America" here ⬇️
bsky.app/profile/patr...
Itself is a replay to the share I just referred to...
⬆️➡️This next Oscar Wilde quote is from is 1883 lecture on his 1st trip to US titled “Impressions of America”
“In going to America one learns that poverty is not a necessary accompaniment to civilisation. There at any rate is a country that has no trappings, no pageants and no gorgeous ceremonies.”
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” ~Oscar Wilde
The article ⬇️ by Shane Dalton
Has a few of my fav ‘tings: philosophy, technology, originality, learning, a burning question and a little Wilde too. Hope you enjoy it as I did.

It was a sad day. One we should remember IMHO; in addition to honoring the innocent lives lost, it is also a stark reminder and warning of the implications of radicalization, domestic terrorism.
Adding to the topic with a 🔗 to a nice @robklippel.bsky.social post (and equally nice exchange in its comments) - how Star Trek honors the ideals expressed in the exchanges above
