Definition - #301 – #35 – Be more careful in your opinions

Should a “policy” be modified with changing conditions?

Why should a “policy” remain static?

If you expected a “policy” to change with the changing times, how could you criticize the original “policy” without, at the same time, noting the changes in the present conditions from this original time?

Suppose, all along, the “policy” was created to change with changing conditions?
Suppose, all along, conditions were being watched for changes so that the proper “policy” was also modified?

Would your criticisms of the “original policy” now be warranted? Would you avoid discussions of the “changing conditions” from the original time?

Certain “policies” never change regardless of the so-called “changing times”. The U.S. believes in “freedom” and a fairly representative government. This is the kind of “policy” that shouldn’t change! Of course there are other “values” that remain “unchangeable”, regardless of changing times.

To believe that nothing was planned, no attention was being pursued, no intelligence was being gathered prior to 1951 is ridiculous! Of course there were secret missions all over the world to find out what was happening. Because the general public was not privy to all these secret plans, and the enemies were not too cognizant of the U.S. intrusions; does not mean there were none! Of course there were! Even our enemies tried to enhance their intelligence to find out more about the U.S.
To make conclusions based on the limited and sometimes “spun” information, is a lack of thinking on the general public’s part! What do you mean there were no plans! There were many. Some, thankfully, did not and do not have to be used.

It is truly very difficult to separate “fact from fiction”. But for heaven’s sake, don’t just absorb the latest media or political “spin” without regard to “common sense”.

The most common element in today’s discussions is the lack of “common sense”. To make personal decisions on the type of “silver bullets” in today’s media and political comments is, again, ridiculous! Democrat, Republican, President George Bush and his administration, and a lack of confidence in the future of the U.S. are all in a state of flux because of this careless rhetoric.
