“You can not make up for past discrimination with current discrimination.”

-Me, Just Now

One of our goals is to help you *think* like an American.

We do that by looking at every issue and asking “is this a violation of our American Rights?’

Refresher - they are:

  • equal treatment

  • life

  • liberty

  • property pursuit of happiness

  • consent

  • grievance

  • rebellion

Affirmative Action is a great example of a companionate idea that violates the ideal of equal treatment.

Part of being human is wanting to make things right.

We want to compensate for things we’ve done in the past.

It’s human nature to want to help people who were oppressed by providing them with special treatment.

Here’s the problem - that is a violation of the Laws of Nature

Violations of the Laws of Nature lead to what? Pain and suffering.

The correct course of action is to:

  • treat everyone equally

  • solve the root cause of problems caused by past discrimination

  • without violating the Rights of other Americans
