Responsibility, Accountability and Our Country’s Foundation

This is part of a conversation on social media that I had with someone who has had their account temporarily removed due to it needing verification!!!

I probably was talking to a fake person. I was told that by someone, but I kept talking to them…LOL

Maybe the next time I form a “friendship” online, maybe I should “trust, but verify!”

Lesson Learned!

So we were talking about changes necessary in society. They said that certain “influencers” should be “careful” what they say, because some people Might take what they say to hurt others.

Here is my edited response as I thought about it more since I originally wrote it.

What you are saying is that we are responsible for others’ supposed, or maybe in the future, actions. If that is true, then this is the basis for arbitrary censorship…determined by someone else. They can censor you, because it MIGHT cause harm. They foretell the future!

The principle is here is that you are accountable for your speech and actions…not anyone else’s. And your speech is curbed by the same code. You do not say or act in any way that will Directly harm someone else. That is already addressed by law. You do not slander or libel someone else.

But is the call for revolution restricted?

Let’s see:

Our country was founded by a revolution….a violent one…a war. The rhetoric that was used then was incendiary and radical. Patrick Henry said, “Give me Liberty, or Give Me Death.” How radical is that? That is calling for violence…for a just cause. The Declaration of Independence said that when tyranny becomes oppressive, then resistance is an obligation and necessary!

That is how our country was formed…by resisting control…by violence! You should read some of the articles of that time. How about…Let us Hang Together, or we shall all Hang Separately? This was do or die. And it was all voluntary! In fact, most people at the time were pro-British. Only a small minority DID something.

This goes right along with You Are Loved and Love Yourself. Be responsible and accountable…for yourself…and let everyone else do the same. If you think they won’t, what basis do you have to tell them what to do…other than protecting your rights, but not at the expense of theirs….A fine line, but can be clearly drawn…from the right mindset.

  1. Once I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any approach you possibly can remove me from that service? Thanks!

    1. Thanks for contacting me!
      I cannot remove you since you signed up. I would unsubscribe from the 3 of the emails and see what happens.
      I do this by going to the bottom of the email and clicking on the link.
      It brings up all the blogs you are subscribed to and lets you pick which ones you want to keep.

      If you have further trouble…please let me know…and I will try to help further.

      Thanks

  2. I have to express my appreciation to you for bailing me out of this type of problem. As a result of searching through the world wide web and meeting methods that were not productive, I thought my life was well over. Existing without the presence of solutions to the problems you have resolved all through your entire post is a serious case, as well as those that would have adversely affected my career if I had not discovered your web page. Your primary knowledge and kindness in touching everything was priceless. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t encountered such a subject like this. It’s possible to at this point look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for the skilled and amazing help. I will not think twice to suggest your web page to anyone who ought to have counselling about this subject matter.
