Damn straight i'm being single-minded on this - the family structure rules, imho. But i don't think that means you and i are coming at it from different angles, necessarily ...
"I don't think (editorial light is on) that Marcos, for example is using black/white thinking
when he bombards us with "Mi hijo/que se fijen en la esencia." He's being
single-minded. He is telling us that, in his priority scheme, the father/son relationship
ranks highest. I don't recall him ever saying why. He's so passionate about it that I
suspect some personal reason ... [...] .. My own view of this (the editorial light is still on) is that the U.S. being a good world citizen is the highest priority."
I take the same view of my countries ... if Eli n had happened to be picked up by a canadian or mexicano vessel i would certainly hope that he would have been released as soon as possible to his father ... and for the same reason - an urge toward civilisation demands that we act from basic principles.
The most basic of principles, and the basic building block of any society, is imho the family ... now while between the four nations of which i speak here it is likely true that Family is currently most prominent as a philosophy in M‚xico, it is clearly important in all ... i see the rights of parents as axiomatic, on a more basic level of humanity than the point at which we argue politics ... so i start there, with Family as a premise ... you don't recall me 'ever saying why' ... well let me say then that i had a mother, and a father, and aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents and will before long have sons ... and we are/will be all related ... it's a blood thing i guess ... thicker than water.
For my country to recognise this is for it to be a good world citizen ... and proud holder of no little Common Sense ... this is not so far from where you come at it, eh ... cheers |
