Life is like
that. We cannot find out way without regulation.
Got a
problem?
Gun control, climate change, migration,
consistent wars, domestic violence, animal abuse, infrastructure, corruption,
collusion, conspiracy, education, health care, sharks, drugs, electric scooters….
You name it.
There is
plenty to go around.
So how do we
solve these problems?
Regulation
It is easy.
First form a committee or council or study group and make sure it is
diversified to cover all aspects of opinions. Next start gathering data. Have
some town hall meetings to get the publics thoughts. Make a multi-page report
or study or findings with charts and graphs and pitch it to a legislative
official. Then tweak the words and paragraphs to satisfy others to get the bill
out of committee. Once everyone (or at least enough) vote for it and pass a
bill it will go to the president to sign or veto.
Once it is
approved and becomes law, the word is passed down to all the states to follow
the new regulation. Speeches are made, signs are constructed, and websites are
upgraded to inform the public.
Will these regulations be followed?
Look at stop
signs or speed limit signs. Gun licenses or permits and background checks (with
more holes that Swiss cheese). Underage dating. Alcohol and smoking age limits.
Unfortunately
many regulations require cultural changes or fake IDs.
Still we
expect the regulations on clothing and food and medicine to keep us safe. The
same for our vehicles and restaurants and building construction…the list goes
on and on.
If that
doesn’t work, the judicial system does what it does to slap on the wrist with a
fine or bring before a judge for final regulation of punishment for bad
behavior.
Rinse and
repeat.
Anticipation
Now we expect
every Black Friday to find some new bargain or latest gadget to spend our hard
earned cash. We swipe through online dating hoping to get lucky. We hope every
year the boss will call you in for another raise. The meds the doctor orders
will fix you up.
Everyday
brings the hope for a better future, but unfortunately life doesn’t always meet
expectations.
Anticipation
of a better day keeps us going.
Maybe
tomorrow will be better?
Maybe a new
law or ordinance will solve all our problems?
Degradation
Unfortunately
life also throws some slings and arrows. Too short, too tall, wrong color,
wrong sex, poor, ugly…. Again the list goes on and on. Wherever you live and
whomever you meet and greet, there will be someone else who judges you.
Again you may
never meet acceptations in the eyes of others.
Degradation
squashes anticipation.
Not to worry,
there is a law or an act or a regulation that requires us all to be friendly.
Participation
Join the
club. Be part of the team.
It is better
or more secure to roam in a pack than a solo participant.
We feel
better in packs. We may feel wearing the same clothing and enjoying the same
music or going to the same dining establishments will make us acceptable.
There are
regulations for groups are allowed to do to meet community requirements.
Manipulation
It is easy to
do. Advertising, social media, robo-calls and many more will persuade that the
latest song or clothing style or dance or food or make-up is worth the cost of being
popular and able to participate.
Friends and
social media make the regulations. The government doesn’t care how you dress or
what your hair style is as long as there are profits in the bank.
Atonement
Forgive me
for I have sinned. That is what religion is for.
The regulations
for the spirit require payment to the path of the eternal salvation and the
government has nothing to do with it. It is a pay as you go.
What about
this?
Fornication
Oh, I just
threw that in to get your attention. We’ll discuss that later.
