Our nations service to others is not enduring if it leads to our own destruction. True service must not only be helpful. It must be realistic and sustainable or it will fail over time.

Ok. My focus is your community. Your peers.

Not all of our peers are better off then we are.

Our greatest stories are of those that made the effort to help others.

I continue to play my old worn out message that the majority of Americans don't want to hear, we became ruthlessly uncivilized and cursed when SCOTUS gave in to Leftist demands that our women be given the right to murder their children in the womb. The most unnatural thing a woman can do is to kill her child. The majority are in agony over their decision and must come to understand they are worthy of forgiveness.

Makes no difference if "peers" is referring to individuals, neighborhoods, cities, states, nations or the entire world. If your service exceeds your capability then you will fail.

I have no problem with voluntary good intentioned service to others by individuals or nations. I do have a problem with involuntary service or voluntary service with self serving destructive intentions or results. There is service to a noble cause but not all causes are noble or result in noble actions or endings. No doubt in my mind that Hamas militants believe their service to their cause to be noble. Their actions are not and the planned ending is not.

Service can be destructive or constructive or both. Case in point. Welfare has helped many single mothers. But in the process it has destroyed the family unit. The government has displaced the fathers and replaced them with government assistance. Making the Fathers and the family unit obsolete. Noble cause with bad results. All in the name of service to others by self serving politicians using police/tax powers to transfer wealth and secure votes and power. Where is the greatest story there?

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions". Our greatest stories are of those that made the effort to help others to learn to help themselves.

Ok. Got a link?

I watched the Twilight Zone. I enjoy imagining.


it was a story in Nov. 1950 'Galaxy Science Fiction'. I remember the Twilight Zone program. This story was aired in March of 1962.

I searched in Google and found a reading of the story.

Who are the good guys, those that want to serve? Few amongst the majority of aspirants that have ulterior motives.

Let’s see here: a Canadian who lives in China, and is a CCP apologist, lectures Americans while Canada spirals into a “woke” hole of communism. Yep…..makes perfect sense.

The proper term, we're it applicable at all is, "Oh Ye of little knowledge." FYI - Canada is on a steep leftist decline just like the USA and it caused by the very same ideology, cultural Marxism. Wise up.

With successive failures.

Civilization, and I am going out on a limb here, civilization are only sustainable if we help each other.

I have no examples of the human species experiencing long term sustainable.

Ants cooperate and have been around a lot longer then us and will probably witness our demise.

Aggression is not sustainable.


You continuously try to stir things up in a country that isn’t yours and you post this? 🤔
