Violence can be prevented

Table of Contents

The most effective solutions are almost never the most dramatic.
They are usually the ones that are thought through in the most rational manner.

If parents never learn how to behave in a civil manner they can’t teach it to their children.

Money isn't quite the root of all evil but it is in a three-way tie.
The other two contenders are child abuse and the culture of deception.

Contrary to common belief there is plenty of research that indicates what causes violence and how to prevent it. This essentially involves finding the contributing causes to violence and preventing them. There are many contributing causes and they all need to be addressed but none are more important than preventing child abuse and bullying. This is true whether it involves preventing school violence or stopping violent predators including serial killers. Most if not all serial killers suffered from serious abuse as a child. This is usually underrepresented when reporting them in the media because it is often considered a mitigating factor or and excuse. This is a very serious mistake when it comes to understanding and preventing violence. Preventing child abuse could also do an enormous amount to reduce global conflicts. Many of the countries that have the least stable societies also have the highest rates of child abuse although it may be very tough to measure this.

What the Mass Media often repeats over and over again is that the best way to address this is to focus on punishment as a deterrent. This is one aspect that should be used but it shouldn't be the only thing nor should it be the most important thing. If this was going to work it would have already worked. What they should be repeating is the focus on preventing child abuse with reasonable scrutiny to catch any mistakes that the public and experts may have made. The focus on punishment is being accepted with very little scrutiny. When the opposing views are presented they are often put in a bad light and the demagogues are often given much more airtime. The Mass Media could be doing a lot to prevent this problem instead they are making it worse.

Hell is for Children

They cry in the dark, so you cant see their tears
They hide in the light, so you cant see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Because hell
Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for children
And you shouldnt have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

Its all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
Youre daddys good girl, and dont tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and youll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing

Because hell
Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for children
And you shouldnt have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

No, hell is for children

Hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Educational Revolution

Bashing Teachers
Governor Chris Christie has recently said he isn’t against the teachers he’s just against the teachers union. This might make sense if the teachers were getting a reasonably good pay and schools were funded well enough to do their job but that isn’t the case. Nor does he, or many other politicians, seem to offer any other solution to the problems with the education system.

Education is being criminalized

Obama is suppressing education, protecting corporate secrecy

Literacy in America and abroad
There are still too many people who can’t read or at least they can’t or don’t read very well and in some countries the illiteracy rate is much higher even for the most basic standards; therefore a large percentage of the public has to rely on those who can read and sort through many details to make many of the most important decisions for them.
This should be considered unacceptable in a sincere democracy and much more should be done to change it in a much more efficient way.

Election Reform
In a true democracy the election process should be controlled by the public not the candidates or a press that isn’t accountable to the public.
No business would ever allow the job applicants to decide how the interview process should go and decide which questions they should answer; why should we continue doing this to elect our political representatives?
Election reform will also require media reform and education reform so the public knows how to make some of the most important decisions that control the country and the world.

Free Speech
Should everyone have equal rights to free speech or should those with more money have more rights to free speech as the Supreme Court seems to have decided?
What else should be considered when deciding these issues?

Copyright violators are thought criminals
Recent changes in the copy right laws in the United States have created laws so extreme that they should be considered a threat to the basic principles of Democracy.
In order to have a sincere democracy we need to have an informed public that understands the issues; if copy right laws are too extreme they will prevent a large percentage of the public from accessing the information and education they need to participate in a sincere democratic process.

Copyright Bureaucracy
Generally as a rule of thumb the Mass Media seems to be outraged when there is a bureaucracy that protects the rights of the public at the expense of the corporations; but when the bureaucracy protects the profits of the corporations at the expense of the public they’re silent.

Verdict in downloading song robbing poor to pay rich
Joel Tenenbaum is now appealing a case about steeling of songs on the Internet.

Lawrence Lessig encouraging an educational commons

Proprietary information is, by definition, a conspiracy Duuh
A conspiracy is when two or more people communicate or act in a manner that affects others.

Class Warfare
Are the lower and middle classes responsible for “Class warfare” as many members of the Mass Media often claim or imply?

Throw who in jail??

Donate to American Crossroads
If you want to help smear the second most corrupt political party in America so that the most corrupt party can take over please Donate to American Crossroads

Complacent consumers have few if any rights

Human Research Subjects are being studied on a regular basis. In many cases the benefit of this research is being withheld from the majority of the public and in some cases the knowledge gained by this research is being used against the public.
This isn’t necessarily a conspiracy since in many cases the information is available to the public if people know where to look for it and how to process the information.

It's the Economy Stupid
Duh What’s the economy?
Is it a democratic economy to pool our resources and labors to benefit the majority in the fairest way possible?
Or is it a corporate economy designed to benefit the rich in the most effective way possible at the expense of the majority, unless the majority unites for a token amount of benefit which will be lost the moment they stop paying attention?
Have the corporations created a capitalist cult?

Are job losses good?
If they’re productive jobs that help improve the lives of the majority of the public they certainly aren’t.
If they don’t benefit anyone except the business men that profit from them that may be a different story though.
Should we continue assuming that the Capitalist system is the most efficient when it eliminates teaching jobs that are needed for the lower and middle classes and creates advertising

Federal debt to the Company Store
The federal debt is similar to a more complicated version of the debt people used to have to company stores.

Health Care Premiums and where they go

Violent health care town hall meetings

These solutions are not new but they are still not getting across to the public.

Setting a better example for the Mass Media

Manipulation Tactics

Necessary Illusions

Deterring Democracy
Fighting for Democracy hasn’t been working nearly as well as many have been led to believe; therefore the time to start educating more for democracy is long overdue!

Violence as entertainment

Unacknowledged Censorship in Arizona
For better or worse the people with the violent rhetoric aren’t being censored in the Mass Media; however the academics with rational solutions that actually work are; and few people seem to have noticed it.

Obsession du jour

We interrupt this Global catastrophe

Public relation campaign for child abuse prevention

Abuse impairs creativity and can create indoctrination

Denial: Tell me something good I need to hear something good

Misplaced blame

War isn't the answer!!
Then what is??

War Propaganda
And the lack of rational nonviolent solutions that work in the long run.

Clash of Civilizations
Samuel Huntington is one of the most influential Political Scientists for some people including some of the most powerful people with connections and influence in Washington and the Corporate world yet I have no doubt that when it comes to some of the most fundamental principles that apply to his work he either gets them wrong or he doesn’t acknowledge them at all.

Clash of Civilizations Part Two

Clash of Civilizations or Egyptian AND USA Revolutions
This is the conclusion of a three part review of Samuel Huntington’s book the “Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order”

Cause and Effect of Hatred
Starting at the kindergarten level because that is where a surprising number of people make their mistakes
Why are so many people making so many mistakes about the basics of inciting hatred?

Authoritarianism
If the public has to rely on authority figures to tell them what countries are authoritarian and why they may not recognize it in their own country until it is too late.

Dobson’s Indoctrination Machine
The method’s and organization of James Dobson and his group “Focus on the Family,” appear to be one of the most effective ways of indoctrinating large segments of society known. This isn’t limited to Dobson’s organization; if you learn how to recognize his tactics you may be able to recognize the same tactics in many other competing organizations; the main point is that they do more to indoctrinate their followers than they do to educate them an teach them to do their own fact checking.

Why I’m a fundamentalist
Because I think it is a good idea to start with the fundamentals, double check those to get them right then move on without forgetting the fundamentals.
Not too damn complicated!!

Tyranny opponents or advocates?

The Social evolution of Tyranny

War on Terrorism
Or War on Citizen’s Rights?
Or both?

September 11 2051

Ding dong the Witch is dead (OBL); Long live the witch

Hamas, Israel and the USA should all renounce violence

Rules of war on life support
The nature of war leads to desperation and disrespect for rules therefore there are only two ways to get the rules of war off life support.
Either you abandon any rules and allow the strongest to rule and dictate everything or you put an end to war and convert the rules of war to the rules of peace.

Torture
If, as many people believe torture should be used only as a last resort, why is there so little discussion on the first resorts??
