The Whipping Post Defense:
PHZ 09 09 2022 

IMHO:  The logic applied here seems to me to be one carried forward from Autocratic Rule. Where in the Autocrat when found guilty of a crime could purchase a surrogate to take the punishment. I.E. be tied to the Whipping Post. Flogged. Punished. In the place of the true perpetrator of the crime. 

Again, IMHO, an Insurer is nothing more than "the whipping boy" i.e. surrogate. The party that takes on the punishment for the purchasing parties crime.  

Therefor IMHO it follows that justice is not served unless the perpetrator of the offense take on the responsibility and punishment for the offense, less in the future the option to buy release from responsibility remains an option. 


Thanks be to God we have Jesus of Nazareth who took on our punishment and interceded on our behalf at the time of facing God that our judgement will be tempered. If Christ be thought of as "only" a "whipping boy" our souls need to be searched for the depth and nature of God.  Knock and it will be opened, Jesus said. also, ask and you will receive. Job is a good place to start. The parable of the prodigal son is a good place to reflect. The parable Jesus told of the Vineyard owner and his son is a good place to conclude.

Kosciuszko's Advice to a Youth To do honor to your family and yourself and at my recommendation, you must reread what follows every day so that it will be engraved on your memory on which your well being will depend. Rise at four in the summer and six in the winter. Your first thoughts must be directed towards the Supreme Being; worship Him for a few minutes. Set yourself to work with reflection and intelligence, either at your prescribed duty carried out in the most scrupulous manner, or perfect yourself in some science in which you should have true mastery. Avoid lying under any circumstances in your life, but always be frank and loyal and always tell the truth. Never be idle but be sober and frugal even hard on yourself while indulgent to others. Do not be vain nor an egotist (1763 https://www.etymonline.com/word/egoist). Before speaking or answering on something, reflect and consider well in order not to lose your point and say something stupid. Never fail to give due recogniti

 Crosby, Still, Nash & Young - Find the Cost of Freedom lyrics    Daylight again, following me to bed I think about a hundred years ago, how my fathers bled I think I see a valley, covered with bones in blue All the brave soldiers that cannot get older been askin' after you Hear the past a callin', from Ar- -megeddon's side When everyone's talkin' and noone is listenin', how can we decide? (Do we) find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down (Find the cost of freedom buried in the ground) Crosby, Still, Nash & Youn g https://youtu.be/0nlXmYVE_X8 https://youtu.be/Gq7qvc1ZNAs

 A reaction to listening to Richard Feynman on Quantum Mechanics Part 1 - Photons Corpuscles of Light.  The long and short of which is LIGHT is composed of corpuscles or particles, NOT waves, and their occurrence of Reflection from a surface, such as water or a window pane or a glass lens, vs the occurrence of transmission through the substance is, though precisely measurable and regular for varying frequencies of LIGHT , a completely random occurrence.  The ultimate conclusion is Nature operates on a basis of  random occurrences. Which once they happen in measurable quantity can be found to happen in precise regular measurements.  To carry this forward to my thesis about Mary and Jesus where in Mary could have declined to be the Mother of Jesus. I think I offered that there may have been many women before Mary who did just this. This construct of Physics demonstrates exactly this. God from the moment of 'the fall' of Adam and Eve in the Garden began the process of correcting t
