Law of Unintended Consequences
Found this cartoon on BartCop’s most recent rants, Vol. 2026. I think it exemplifies the “Law of Unintended Consequences” or what happens when you take actions without thinking it through. Is this what anyone really wants? Whether you like Hillary or not, do we want anyone in office with so much “unchecked power”? Or maybe, the current administration has a plan for never leaving office…and so are not worried about who will come next. Remember the “National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive” that grants sole authority to the president in the event of any catastrophic incident. I’m not saying that this is what they are planning, but it very conveniently sets the stage…
I have been baffled for some years as to why the Democrats are allowing the current administration to violate and dismantle our Constitution with its “Checks and Balances”…Perhaps they think they will reap the benefits when they come to power. That is assuming that they will have the chance at being in power…
I have become such a cynic.
About Me
My most treasured value is my freedom. It is one I have been willing to die for. Without freedom, my life is not my own. Why should I live a life not my own?
I served 6 years active duty in the U.S. Army. I served between two wars – Vietnam and Desert Storm.
I have spent most of my life seeking truth. I am still looking and suspect I always will be…
I have a vision of this blog being a place where I can explore the “Devil’s Advocate” position on various topics and share my opinions (and where I get them). My hope is to help myself and others to develop skill in critical thinking.
I am not a scholar. If you are looking for scholarly debates and dissertations, please look elsewhere. I am merely a middle-aged woman on a quest. If you are interested in following my thinking, welcome.
Sometimes I make mistakes. I even make dumb ones at times. So, if you catch me in one, please do point it out. That is how I learn. If you find yourself with an opinion different from mine, by all means, tell me about it and explain why you think the way you do. That way, we can all learn.
In the interest of making fewer mistakes, Logic and Fallacies – Constructing a Logical Argument is a great resource.
It may take me awhile to find my voice, but this is a journey, right?
