Choicemaker

Many of us agree that 'Ideas' represents an anemic effort by
the U.S.in dealing with Iraq, Iran, and other Middle East
countries. Pushing a concept of 'democracy'is rightly perceived
as merely 'political,' not foundational, and thus unacceptable
by their philosophical and religious criteria.
It appears shallow compared to America's true potential offering
to the world out of its unique founding and creative-growth values
and inventive experience.
The definitive in human nature is the Individual ability to make
choices. (Is there any other kind of human? 'Groups' are verbal
conveniences - not Reality.) ALL humans share in this true depic-
tion of our nature. The human being is Earth's choice-maker.
Such a valid assertion undercuts every man-made alien opinion
and is practiced and verified everywhere on planet Earth daily.
Thus nature itself has laid the foundation for every human
relationship, institution, and social act. After all, the
creative process is a choice-making process and functions
best in an environment of opportunity - Freedom.
What are our leaders waiting for? Mr. Jefferson's statement, "all
men are endowed by their Creator with...Liberty" says the same
thing.(Liberty is internal - the ability to choose. Freedom is
external - the opportunity to choose.)
In public, private, and Christian schools, I taught my 5th
graders for over 30 years, it is as natural a requisite for
Earth's choice-maker to need Freedom as for a gold-fish to
require water.
My Choicemaker-based civics workbook (Gr. 5-8) won numerous
awards in the '60's and was placed in the Eisenhower Presiden-
tial Library, Abilene, KS, by "Ike," himself.
Isn't it time for a universal "Season of Generation-Choice-
maker" to flower world-wide and bear fruit? Cyrus the Great
and Mr. Jefferson would both choose to agree. I trust you and
others will also choose to agree. Please take part in placing
this concept before our nations and before your neighbors for
the youth of our nations..
Peace is not a Cause -- it is the Effect....
Remember....
Your human Rights are NOT a grant of man or government. They are a gift, an
endowment from the Creator GOD, to His human Creation. Any person or system
which opposes your free-will Rights is opposing the God who gave them to you. ALL
tyrants are in opposition to GOD and nature! Humans, made in His definitive image,
must be free to fulfull GOD's purposes in making you an agent of His Freedom.
DO NOT give any credit to any man-made system for what only the Creator GOD
has done.
The next time you see or hear a cleric of ANY religion wave a 'holy' book and
claim to speak for the GOD of your creation -- and opposes Individual human Rights
-- you will know that he is a FRAUD and does not deserve respect or obedience.
Thus, you were born Free! The creative process is a choice-making process. Now,
live it!

P.S. The way we define 'human' determines our view of self, others,
relationships, institutions, life, and future. Choose wisely....there will be
results.
