I grew up on a family farm. We tilled, put up hay, drove trucks and harvested crops.
I have worked as a building engineer, a handyman, a groundskeeper, a personal care assistant, a teacher, a janitor, a truck driver, a courier, etc.
Working with one's hands keeps one grounded in the real world, even when engaged in theoretical and idealistic speculating which I love to indulge in.
I have belonged to three labor unions and never regretted the experience at all. I just like union-management relations to be play out in a free market system.
Workers make this country tick. Hats off to them. Happy Labor Day!

Who Appreciates How Deadly Fanatics Are
It takes an individuator and moderate to identify who is fanatical and then to lay out how deadly will be their impact on the world, if they go unchecked. This is why I called for the elimination of all ISIS fighters. They work for Satan directly and must be put down like the mad dogs that they are. They are beyond redemption.
The reason that nonindividuators and joiners do not so keenly appreciate how threatening and malevolent are fanatics is that these groupists travel in packs. Pack-living breeds emotional, fanatical, simplistic outlooks, reactions and characterizations of people and happenings. Quiet, non-mass movement pack-livers are lukewarm fanatics. They do not react strongly to ISIS fringe types, because, subconsciously they sympathize with and admire these "principled fanatics". They do not resent and are not alarmed at the fanaticism so much, because the two packs are related in extremist outlooks.
We need to nudge people to leave the pack and assume the individuated, moderate lifestyle in service to God. Once people live that way, they will be viscerally repulsed by the strutting and gyrations of any high-energy fanatic out to change the world. They will oppose fanaticism where ever it crops up because fanaticism as a movement is a satanic attack upon all human kind.

We Are Only Here For A Little While
We are only here for a little while, so you must make your mark now. Pretty soon your life will be over, and you will not be able to do what you hoped to have accomplished.
Make Up Your Own Mind
Let no one else make up your mind for you. You can rely on others for advice and suggestions, but you need to be your own person, make your own decisions, and be in charge of your own destiny.
You must stand up to bullies and domineering lecturers seeking to tell you how to live. You will never succeed as an individual and individuator unless you insist upon having the final say in what you decide and in what you do.

The False Prophet
Old Media is a false prophet leading the American people to perdition. God used to hold sway in America, but the Left have invited Lera in and she is eager to hold the reigns, bringing this greatest nation to its knees.
Through her ideological minions in Old Media, they do not report the news but twist it beyond recognition to match and serve the existent liberal perspective on what is going on in America.
They always lie and distort. They always are engaging in mind control to herd the masses to love big government and hate liberty. They are unfair, unbalanced and inaccurate. It does not matter as long as their grip on the minds of the masses remains strong and secure. All events reported on are meant to serve the spread of their socialist utopia. The ends justify the means. The people need to be told what to believe, what is going on, how to interpret unfolding events, and what to do in reaction.

Old Media Lies To You
If people worshipped a faith in America with the same fervency, loyalty, credulity and affinity that they extend to the government and Old Media, there would be none in the world that would match our level of piety.
Let me state that, in their natural state everywhere, people are sheep, ignorant, stupid, lazy, submissive, uninformed, passionate, apathetic, selfish, cowardly, bigoted haters. They live group lives. They do not individuate. They willingly wallow in lives of suffering, ignorance darkness and self-delusion.
Government in America, and its yellow journalism lapdog, live off of the masses. They exploit, oppress, hurt, and steal the private property of the taxpayers.
The bigger the government and the more totalitarian its extent, the more vicious it is. To that degree the press brainwashes the people and all are told what to believe. To quote Hoffer, the people are made to love what they hate, and hate what they love.
The only true, lasting reform is from the ground up, one person self-liberating at a time.
As people begin to wake up here and anywhere, they are a direct threat to corrupt government, power and monopoly, and the state will lash out at them seeking to quell their revolt.
We conservatives are waking up. We are teaching the people the truth: they can individuate and they do not need Old Media and centralized government for much of anything, outside of a few constitutional duties. We can take this country back, and we will take this country back.
The masses must be what Aristotle envisioned 2300 years ago: they must live, breathe and sleep politics. Each person must develop into a high-information, supercitizen that knows everything, is utterly truth-loving, unwilling to shirk duty and hard facts, facing whatever comes along, and willing to do what needs to be done, however hard, however great the sacrifice.
These supercitizens will tolerate malarkey from no politician. These citizens rule. They are informed, alert, logical and they remember what promises politicians made, and hold their feet to the fire to make sure performance matches promises made. These supercitizens are willful, smart, cooperative but independent, principled but practical. They are idealistic but realistic. They are rational and sympathetic. They are guided by self-interest but take care of the community and country too. They are brave, fair, impartial and dedicated to equality of opportunity.
They quickly and brutally punish Old Media and government for lying to them, and seeking to deprive them of liberty. They punish their would-be masters for depriving them of facts with which to make informed decisions.

You Cannot Tell Me Anything
"You cannot tell me anything. I know it all. I am a liberal intellectual. I am the one that knows best. I am intellectually and morally superior to everyone. Everything I do is honorable; everything I do is noble and ideal for the common good. If I use compulsion and government force to coerce the masses to live tightly regulated lives, ever deprived of liberty, choice or independence, it is because I know what is good for them. Being forced to live right, in accordance to my lights, is what they need, and they must obey.
I cannot be taught anything, because if I do not already know it, the new information is of no value. Indeed, as brilliant as I am, it is my job to do the talking, the teaching, the lecturing and commanding. I give orders. I do not take orders. None are allowed to refuse my teaching and direction: no longer must they live apart, selfish and narcissistic, living their private lives waywardly without my guidance and intervention."
The truth of the matter is that he who will only teach but refuses to be taught is a man of dangerous ignorance and bias, unwilling to learn from others. No one knows it all. As Emerson noted, we can learn something from everyone we meet.
We need to deemphasize teachers per se--though they are still valuable. The emphasis must be on perpetual learning or self-teaching. To individuate is to grow and learn, and learn and grow. Always, we must be willing to be taught by others, but what we assimilate and what we value must always be selected by the self as the final arbiter.
As we individuate and make original contributions to human knowledge and culture, then we will have finally something to teach others, but this in no way relieves us of the obligation to be willing to learn and be, taught by others if such instruction is illuminating, useful and effective.
