In Defense of People

"In Defense of People" is a place where people can find information about how to make the world a better place. The problem is what is considered "better" by one person could be considered "worse" by another. So what is the standard for "better"? How about a historical definition? How about using some kind of "absolute" definition. Is there such a thing?

If there is an "absolute" definition of "better" then some people may be trapped in their cultural relative definitions of what may be considered "better" in a upper middle class, Hollywood affected culture which won't work in some impoverished, third world area. Which does exists right here in America.

Ever noticed that when you depend on "nature" & "the land" for a living that there isn't a lot of time for "relative" cultural values? I have heard others call those "relative" cultural based values as nonsense but once again beauty is in the eye of the beholder unless you have some basis for comparison.

Being dependent on others also creates a different viewpoint and it is basically conservative. Don't spend more money than you have. (which applies to government & personal finances) Help your neighbor. Don't be mean to others. Treat others the way you want to be treated. What goes around comes around.

  2. Howard DeLaCruz-Bancroft of Albuquerque, New Mexico said: The U.S. constitution guarantees all citizens the right to have a jury trial by peers for any issue over $20 but that doesn't apply to New Mexico for DR (domestic relations) family court issues. Contested custody cases involve more than $20 even in 1776 dollars. It could be an option not a requirement but this shows how the U.S. Constitution continues to be wittled away, little by little.
