Democracy


Democracy is the government by individuals, not the majority or a majority, nor the minority or a minority but the individual as a person. That single vote you mentioned in your article and for which it is imperative to limit the government, the apparatus for which a candidate is being elected to serve, not to be served, but to serve the people by doing only and strictly what the position entails.

I am not too sure what you have as Darwinism but it is it what is a main contributor to the problem rather than the solution, because it dismisses the power of the individual to become rational, because it imposes the idea that everything and anything is by chance, not cause or consequence and therefore, accident or luck, it is not the individual who has any say in the use of his/her freedom, freedom given by God upon creation and not any state or other form of organized gathering. We, as individuals are responsible fore our choices in life and therefore, because we are created by God, equal before Him, we are accountable to Him. The law of humans, only when aligned to the law of God, namely, the Ten Commandments, can have any power of to dissuade the individual to obey it. Any other law, ill or well intentioned, can only distort the spirit of the law and as it is evident now, favor some while forcing others, removing the ability to represent their individuality and even to produce and identity. 

For democracy to work, it is imperative to have a limited government and that is why there is a constitution, because under that set of rules is that everyone needs to operate so that no conflicts should be possible and it is when the constitution is broken or dismissed as some living document, that democracy becomes a tyranny of the elites in power.

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
