What could be considered the right, wise, & just actions for a(n) U.S. Administration to take?

in #america7 years ago


America  is  the  richest  nation  in  the  history  of  nations.  We  have  the  largest  portion  of  millionaires  and
billionaires. Our currency is the reserve for the global economy. We have the most inclusive and liberal founding
documents as our rule of law (Constitution and Bill of Rights) - in Western civilization. Though, collectively, we don’t act like it often times – we are the leaders of the free world. Nations across the globe mirror our stance on controversy and policy alike. People all over the world look up to the U.S. to lead by example and set a modern course for humanity and scientific research – so the right, wise and just actions to take in contemporary times are not so cut & dry; or even like a puzzle, with pre-ordained jigs and fits. 


So what is right? The opposite of left; the antithesis of wrong; is it correctness; is it propriety; etiquette; order?


It is often difficult to discern what is right (for context) when the framework of decision- making is absent of wisdom. The cold and calculating machinations of men may portray an array of actions as right while remaining willfully  ignorant  to  all  that  is wrong in  the  marginalized  purview.  It  is  said  that  wisdom  is  in  knowing  the difference between right and wrong – so wisdom must shine when the conceptual nature of events are unclear.
When  the  difference  between  wisdom  and  folly  are  unclear,  it  is  pertinent  for  one  to  show  your  faith  by  your
works. What faith; the ambitious, inspiring and motivating kind. If actions speak louder than words, and the louder
an argument gets – the more drowned out wisdom becomes, what will happen to the admirable battle fought with
the pen? History will not write itself.
When history is written the wrongs & rights become cemented in memoriam. No amount of fake news or
propaganda can defeat a strong inference or credible reference – but there are two sides to every story, right?


“Every day people condemn and admire Alexander the murderer of Clitus, but the avenger of Greece, the
conqueror of the Persians, and the founder of Alexandria;
Cæsar  the  debauchee,  who  robs  the  public  treasury  of  Rome  to  reduce  his  country  to  dependence;  but  whose clemency equals his valour, and whose intelligence equals his courage;
Mohammed,  impostor,  brigand;  but  the  sole  religious  legislator  who  had courage,  and  who  founded  a  great empire;
Cromwell the enthusiast, a rogue in his fanaticism even, judicial assassin of his king, but as profound politician as brave warrior.
A thousand contrasts frequently crowd together, and these contrasts are in nature; they are no more astonishing than a fine day followed by storm. Men are equally mad everywhere; they have made the laws little by little, as gaps are repaired in a wall. Here, eldest sons have taken all they could from younger sons, there younger sons share equally. Sometimes the Church has commanded the duel, sometimes she has anathematized it. The partisans and the enemies of Aristotle have each been  excommunicated in their turn, as have those who wore long hair and those who wore short. 
In this world we have perfect law only to rule a species of madness called gaming. The rules of gaming are the only ones which  admit  neither  exception,  relaxation,  variety  nor  tyranny.  A  man  who  has  been  a  lackey,  if  he  play  at lansquenet  with  kings,  is  paid  without  difficulty  if  he  win;  everywhere  else  the  law  is  a  sword  with  which  the stronger cut the weaker in pieces.
Nevertheless, this world exists as if everything were well ordered; the irregularity is of our nature; our political world  is  like  our  globe,  a  misshapen thing  which  always  preserves  itself.  It  would  be  mad  to  wish  that  the mountains, the seas, the rivers, were traced in beautiful regular forms; it would be still more mad to ask perfect wisdom of men; it would be wishing to give wings to dogs or horns to eagles.”

Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary / Contradictions
An  array  of  truly  just  actions  in  contemporary  economic  conditions  would  be  even  more  controversially
contradictory than the prior quote from Voltaire. How could one tell when and where – at what point - justice is achieved?  In  short,  when  do  the  ends  justify  the  means?  It  would  be  a  lofty  ideal  to  treat  each  person  as  ends towards their own means; not as means towards your own ends. However the biopower that is inherent in modern politicking has mixed with the industrial revolution and communism; turning large swaths of the less fortunate into human capital for transnational corporations. The benefit of lower wages juxtaposed with their country-men and  women,  as  well  as  domestic  inflation  makes  off-shoring  a  no-brainer  if  you  are  an  amoral  profit-seeking entity.
