Back to what's real

It's been a long time since we spoke on Realism. In the chaos that we are experiencing on a global scale I feel it is necessary to review our beliefs as applied to the current situation. First, thanks Tim for reading the blog and the feedback you give me when we meet. Tim is a partner in Jiu-jitsu crime that leans left of center and oddly we always seem to come to an agreement on our views, some common ground. The common ground is the natural political state that we at our core are born with that I attribute to Realism. At our most raw we tend to be a species that wants to have and thrives on balance. Not too boring all the time, not too over the top exciting. In our natural law we want the same. Not too many restrictions and not too many liberties. Yet in "Our" system we are not being forced or coerced by a government agency or element, we go by the, "Do unto others", rule, which can have pleasant and monstrous consequences. I think that it's the immediacy of the penalty in our way that helps to deter the majority of the bad behaviors and transgressions our fellow humans can bring on us.

So in the current terrorist attack that took at least sixteen days to be fully acknowledged by the Secretary of State, a Realist government would have set up security even prior to the attack understanding the value of being attacked on 9/11. So military or security forces would have been in place with clear orders to defend our interest in the region. No holding arms no prohibiting bullets to the men who had the expert training to defend that poor defenseless ambassador. Under a Realist administration it is a foregone conclusion that we are hated by fanatics and that there are those who just for pleasure want to harm our citizens. There is evil and entire faiths and peoples can be evil either by indoctrination or will. It was naive of the president to think that just because he lived here or there and that he had a Muslim sounding name, he wasn't hated for the part of him he seems to run from most, his Anglo American part.

So playing devils advocate our system missed a beat an our ambassador was assassinated as the current one was. Our response would have been swift, through, decisive. We reserve the right to personally hunt down the dogs who dared challenge us with or without that countries help. If you cant police or control your own and it effects us, in Realism you have forfeited that responsibility to us. Once we are done we return control and command to your officials and go on our way. That speed of pursuit and punishment is key to a truly free society. Now I believe in punishment fitting the crime. If you steal a loaf of bread first we ask why your hungry. If you stole it just to steal then a similar legal system to our current one will judge and sentence you. This will happen very quickly as compared to the current system. I think I lean towards for lower crime ie petty thefts and assaults a street level justice system where our officers have the ability to issue a ruling ,yes just like Judge Dredd, except for felonies and capitol crimes. Wait, how cool would that be...r
