Book in progress #3...Tony's "story"...why I know

A Socio-Economic, un-politically correct narrative on the state of America Today.  Manifest Destiny II

The World is governed by Natural Laws.

My unique myriad of experiences from a career petty criminal to a white collar crime felon, to currently an entrepreneur now publisher, of AZ Tourist News.

From a Vietnam vet, heroin addict, to a wanted criminal on the run. During these times I was in the adult entertainment business for a couple of years.  My experiences in City, County, State and Federal Maximum security prisons, having survived a chronically mentally ill father who kidnapped me and my brothers at an earlier age.

I inherently felt early on that I was destined to be "something."  I never took that thought very seriously.  However, looking back, I can't help to think that the totality of my experiences is so voluminous in variety as well as substance.  I have no ax to grind with some of the comments I shall make, because frankly, those who know of my history would intuitively think of me as a "liberal." (We don't use labels here.)

The Thrust of this Manifesto leaves nothing out; I have the thoughts of many things I believe will provide insight.

I will speak to my Mother throughout my narratives and dialogues with others.  Ma simply taught me "right from wrong."  Her maxims are basic but are missing in today’s conversation. No one talks about simple human values anymore.

I will be putting the spotlight on the components of what is driving our Christian basic values to extinction.  If you think you want to throw up now, in 5 to 10 years, it will be beyond puke!

Let me begin with what I “believe I know.” (See Venuti's Maxims)

Governments in collaboration with mankind evolved a religious tale in order to demonstrate the moral initiatives that govern Nature.  This story, passed on orally is by no means accurate or scientific.  

It is a story that people, the masses, needed to be guided through the moral initiatives while providing hope for those who otherwise would derive contempt from the very government that controls their destiny.

Although I do believe in God (Nature), and respect religious institutions needed to provide comfort and clarity for those who are challenged with life and need direction, I personally believe that GOD is energy. It has no form or takes on form of its own choosing.

With Natural Law defining my direction of thought, please note the
80/20 Rule.

There are no Absolutes. There are “threes” in the universe, which are; I know, I don’t know, and I believe I know.

While you can often have opposing points of view at the same time, it is to the “degree of which” this or that matters regards to the content of statement you are assessing.

There is no such thing as perfection. As soon as you think you are perfect you are by definition, imperfect.  To know ones imperfections is indeed “to be perfect.”  This said, as a “know it all” -and I truly indeed know it all - for I know what I know, and what I don’t know - knowing what I don’t know and knowing what I do know, means I know it all.

People in general are just not smart. (Okay, most people are stupid!)
1. People are reactionary, as opposed to actionary.  Their hearts rule their brains, which is never a good thing. People react as opposed to respond.  Response requires an intellectual exercise.  But don't mistake a quick response to be automatically reaction-based.  Some people are just quick, and perhaps have thought out in their own mind that which allows for a quick correct response.

2. Most people’s assessment typically stays on par with those whose friendships are value, they don’t think for themselves. It doesn’t have to be 100% of the time. Most people are not anything 100% of the time.  It’s self image vs. the image mirroring “friends to whom you value.”

3.  When you are accountable to yourself, you will learn from your mistakes. But not if you are defending and copying deuces, and making excuses as to why your actions were this or that. (More concerned for the image others might make from your actions, thus your defenses come to play.)

The use of averages is an invalid premise to make in discussion, and like other generalizations that are used to argue the abstract about a particular situation. (For example, if it is raining on me right now , then the pros will say that there is a 30% chance of rain
