A free public service offered by Paul Kemp - Central Nova - Nova Scotia There are ten steps, or stages, to the evolution of a practical and efficient form of representative government, and these are: 1. Freedom of the person. Slavery, serfdom, and all forms of human bondage must disappear. 2. Freedom of the mind. Unless a free people are educated -- taught to think intelligently and plan wisely -- freedom usually does more harm than good. 3. The reign of law. Liberty can be enjoyed only when the will and whims of human rulers are replaced by legislative enactments in accordance with accepted fundamental law. 4. Freedom of speech. Representative government is unthinkable without freedom of all forms of expression for human aspirations and opinions. 5. Security of property. No government can long endure if it fails to provide for the right to enjoy personal property in some form. Man craves the right to use, control, bestow, sell, lease, and bequeath his personal property. 6. The right of petition. Representative government assumes the right of citizens to be heard. The privilege of petition is inherent in free citizenship. 7. The right to rule. It is not enough to be heard; the power of petition must progress to the actual management of the government. 8. Universal suffrage. Representative government presupposes an intelligent, efficient, and universal electorate. The character of such a government will ever be determined by the character and caliber of those who compose it. As civilization progresses, suffrage, while remaining universal for both sexes, will be effectively modified, regrouped, and otherwise differentiated. 9. Control of public servants. No civil government will be serviceable and effective unless the citizenry possess and use wise techniques of guiding and controlling officeholders and public servants. 10. Intelligent and trained representation. The survival of democracy is dependent on successful representative government; and that is conditioned upon the practice of electing to public offices only those individuals who are technically trained, intellectually competent, socially loyal, and morally fit. Only by such provisions can government of the people, by the people, and for the people be preserved.

Subject: NOT ON MY WATCH!

 

Currently we have 2 world issues that need to be dealt with.  I will provide links to selected clips on these issues.
 
      As many of you may already know; I served in the Canadian Forces as a cadet, a reserve and a regular force soldier.  My last posting being to the Special Service Force, CFB Petawawa.  I am now a Professional Fire Fighter, and Humanitarian.  I have been to Thailand several times and have taken vacation from work, to go to New Orleans for Katrina, as well as being a Tactical Medic for a Tactical Officers Association in the USA.  I am by no means a "pacifist", nor am I a "warmonger".  I am what I call a "REALIST" I accept the fact that sometimes, military intervention is required, to bring peace to a region, while at other times, it is the least viable option. 
 
       Many of you have heard of Darfur, some may not have.  However, your children have.  It is becoming more and more common to see young children, grade school ages, and High School ages reading and learning about this.  What do they learn from this.....  that not all people are equal, that money and power are more important then compassion and morals, that MIGHT makes RIGHT!
I realize the political tenderness of such issues globally, however this is not a new issue, it has been years since the start.  the UN the USA and everyone else are so afraid to use the word "GENOCIDE"  Well, I will.  DARFUR = GENOCIDE, Period!  Do we want to look back as we approach our graves knowing that we permitted such atrocities to carrying on for so long?  Are we YOU, able to say without regret, that you did nothing?  We have so many issues to deal with currently, SPP, NAU, NAFTA, but let’s not forget that 500 or more die each and every day while we ignore this genocide.
 
       With the United Nations, and the entire free world to afraid to act because of the fact that this is an Islamic force doing this, I see only a few options.  (Religion has nothing to do with this.)  1.  Lobby the hell out of the government, and FORCE them to act.  2.  Act in place of them by sending money and supplies to credible organizations to assist in Darfur.   3.  Join one of the organizations, or create a NGO/NPO, and lastly, take the fight to them.  I don't wish to see anymore loss of life here; however the time is approaching when force must be met with force.  A Blue Beret won’t help in the near future, it will require men and women to take this conflict and genocide to the next level, and strike back.  This is where we are headed.  We either act now in peace, or we act later in war.
 
       It is every single human’s responsibility to act against such acts of atrocity.  No matter on what level, I urge you, to do something.  Imagine if this was happening here, and no one came to defend you, or your child.  Those who have the ability to Defend the defenseless, also have the obligation to defend the Defenseless. 
 
       My heart breaks for these people, and I cannot.... no, I will not sit idly by while they are systematically exterminated. NOT ON MY WATCH! 
PLEASE, WATCH the videos!  It wont take very long, and yes it may be hard to read or see some of the things, but it hurts far less now, then to live the rest of your life knowing that you were simply to busy at the time to take a little time and see the REAL world's issues.
