Does Life Have Value?

The fiefdoms of blue-state cities are managed by precedence driven Democratic politicians. Each more interested in their position of power than the citizenry they pledged to serve. Willfully lost in the academia of leftist ideology, steeped in an uncompromising theoretical radicalism and a clinical hatred of President Trump, they, them, and those have adopted violence as the means to an acceptable end.

ANTI FA and their cohorts pledge to end American fascism by utilizing the tools and tactics of totalitarianism. This concept is a contrarian enigma, so befuddling one needs to attend (as a student or professor), Princeton, Yale, or Harvard to comprehend.

Black Lives Matter, expressed or implied by their title, declare that lives are of value. They zero in on black lives suggesting that white lives, not so much; of course, it is white people that monetarily and physically support their efforts. How upside-down crazy is that?

The pretext is that human life is exceptional to all other living beings on the planet.

Within the context of poetic expression, heartfelt words of prose, legal declarations, and general conversation, the affirmation that “life is precious” rings aloud. The adage is considered a truism. Theoretically, and as we wish it were so, precious,  applies to human life. Of course, within the pragmatic world, we all know that such  an idea is utter nonsense.

Acts within and outside the law, to origins rational or incoherent, by means moral or immoral. The answer as to the worthiness of one’s life depends on which of the varying degrees of contingencies and natural consequence apply.

Hypocrisy is an operable and deep-seated human endeavor. We regularly hear that the loss of one life is a tragedy. Well, if that is the truth. Why don’t the highway and byways set and enforce a twenty-five mile an hour speed limit? The cost of transportation will drop by half, insurance by ninety percent, hospitalization due to car accidents almost nonexistent, close to zero deaths, gas prices back to thirty-cents a gallon, and the wear and tear on one’s vehicle negligible.

We all know that expediency is of a higher value than human life. We also acknowledge that living requires killing other living things. Humans eat other animals, fish, fowl, plants, and just about everything else on earth. Unprovoked aggression is an inherent human feature. Defense and offense are tactics learned at a very early age.
