Aphorisms: Psychobabble.

1.
Legal Review - Laws are not the foundation of justice but are the hindrance of liberty; the foundation of justice  can be found in the way children are imbued with concepts of retribution. (see No. 15)

2.
A Bad Education - To teach the history of demonisation with a punitive disposition is to demonise; for the sake of sparing a redundancy, history should never be taught with this disposition.

3.
The Governed - The question to the government is not what it will do for the citizens, but by which means does the government plan to abate its presence in unnecessarily-governed civil arenas.

4.
The Good-Socialist - A socialist society does not modify the abilities nor the motivation of those within, but disables the returns gained by well-wishing efforts.

5.
A Sad Paradox -
"Dictionaryn. A Malevolent literary device for cramping the growth of a language and making it hard and inelastic." The Devil's Dictionary - Ambrose Bierce
It can be noted though, that recently both the quality of literature and the lexicon has diminished quite extensively, notwithstanding the size of the english dictionary has grown double its size since the 17th century.

6.
When Orating - Cant, but do not prate--hypocrisy is more subtle than foolishness, lo both are often reviewed as six of one.

7.
A Pithy Nature - Human nature is not derived from the most primitive times of man's existence, but from the the childhood man experiences; each nature differs from person to person--which is the foundation of individuality--but ultimately each nature enables itself to conform to a common ideal; it is common natures that differentiate the participants of a society. 

8.
Governance - It is not wealth that governs the world--as radicals do believe--but the motivation to gain wealth that governs the world.

9.
Self Advocacy - It is not for the benefit of conversation nor to hear another person that we lower the volume on a television or stereo, we lower the volume so that we can be certain our end of the conversation is heard. 

10.
Missing Strokes - Social constructivism appears as an excellent viewpoint, an opinion that is logical and easy to apply. The issue though, is the social constructivist does not recognise a very powerful force in the inter-workings of society: the power of the individual. Without accepting the power of the individual, the answer of how social constructs come about wanders into the night unanswered.
 
11.
You Sound Like... - Person: "You sound just like my friend ________"  Reply: "Thank you, but I would rather sound like myself." 

12.
Simplicity - The greatest thoughts and problems are not presented with simplicity, but solved and explained with simplicity.

13.
Why I Use British English - I enjoy most an original.

14.
Devil's Advocate - Be cautious when you choose to advocate an under-represented subject, the proponents are often wont to be fickle or even worse: inane on the subject.

15.
Equal Protection of Liberty - Under Title XIV of the United States Constitution, it is guaranteed that "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States..." Upon review of this I enquire: do certain statutes that your government enforces, and you abide by, inhibit your ability to be completely liberated as liberty is defined in the Bill of Rights?

Loving the Daughter of an Italian Plutocrat

I like to watch good girls go bad
'cause they still have issues with their dad
going down like titanic; her tears are so tragic
manipulating her; she wants to be static
so I push and pull until she is emphatic:
screaming something hostile; exhaust from intake
but I just love to make her body shake
finding another way to make her love-hate
the way I abuse her at speeds higher than the interstate
spinning her until we're both dizzy
I wonder when I lock her in the garage: does she miss me?
she's in the shadow of my limelight when I put up a good fight
all the way till the end; she doesn't pretend
to appreciate me, but deep inside she needs
a man who can navigate through greed
putting up with her Italian design
she wants me to unwind
we're in a limited-slip relationship:
I still go after others while she cries to her mother
sorting things out like a fight with her brother
I'll leave her be for a few weeks
when I return it's all kisses on the cheeks
convincing her she's not weak
as long as she gets through in two hours
I need every one of her break horse powers
give me the challenge; she's easy to devour
the best of men submitting to the greatest sin
come prepared, that's what I always do
so that I can be behind the wheel of my lovely you
you're white green and black: pure, envious, and detached
can't force-feed you much through your hatch
so I pump you full of petrol to get your heads to roll
camshafts crank out the power to the track
and I know I was told not to meet my hero
but Ferrari Modena, you score a one-zero

~Strange how little we enjoy the things we really should cherish.

Love,
Digress.
