These two arguments can not exist side-by-side in the logical mind. One of them must be incorrect. IMHO discrimination, intimidation, and the long history of it in the United States demands affirmative action. Had the original perpetrators of the horrors of Slavery made good on their conditions of surrender and supplied the famous "40 acres and a mule" the multiplication of penalties might not be due now. Yet the 150 years of, not just inaction, but out-right insurrection and repression of the People due this restitution in addition to the accumulated tremendous wealth of these same perpetrators demands justice in the form of affirmative action. And more.

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

(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
