Avatar, Legion, Book of Eli, and Connecticut State Budget

What exactly do these 3 current movies have in common with the Connecticut State budget you might ask. They are educational in the sense that they each describe events in a society where there is civil disruption because of the failure of the government in power to address the needs of its civilian members. Without thoughtful, fair, and respectful discourse the consequences of revolution, destruction, moral decay, and the deaths of innocents are realized. The salvation of natural man grounded in his moral values is reborn to take ownership and responsibility under the watchful creator. The planet is not destroyed, nature endures regardless of what men do. But man is given another chance to reconstitute the civil society that has collapsed under the weight of the tyrannical governing elite whose values condescend the common man. Inherent in the free will of man gifted by the creator and endowed to man alone is the ability to be a force of good or destruction. Free will is a natural state and a natural right of men. Freedom also is a natural self evident state and relies upon responsible self reliance and a peaceful, law abiding, co-existence among all men. Governing requires the acknowledgement of those natural states and operates to provision the capacity for men to exercise those natural gifts. Man is equipped to be moral, responsible, loving, and supportive of others. Government only needs to help channel these qualities and not substitute for them.
Respect and emphasis for freedom is essential to the well being of society. When there is a body or group that wishes for government to be the leader, provider, and solution to all problems, there is a natural breakdown. No man is fit to be master and no one deserves to be a slave as stated by Abraham Lincoln is relevant.When a ruling body mandates and assumes the power to impose a one size fits all solution, the natural social contract is broken. Irresponsible solutions, favoritism, and exceptions are likely to emerge that only serve to be divisive and disrespectful of the rights of others. Failure and revolution are bound to occur.
The 3 movies come to the fore front of our attention at an auspicious time. Perhaps Hollywood had a premonition that that in the dead of winter as we begin 2K10 we needed a reminder of what is required to keep a functioning society together.It has been stated in many ways that democracy is always on the edge, but it is the best way to channel the free will of man to a common good and serve the needs of all men , equally.
We can only hope that our legislature gets the message and produces a budget that we all can embrace. Some programs that do not foster freedom, self reliance, or rule of law should be limited or eliminated. So called "nanny laws" are not necessary and only serve to satisfy some favored agenda of its sponsors. They are not worth the loss of freedom. Social engineering and social justice laws that do not work or have a reasonable expectation of failing a statewide referendum, if it were allowed, should be avoided. Special interests are not the expectations of the majority of voters and would not likely meet a statewide threshold. Elected officials who vote their preferences are not doing their job.Listen to the voters.
In these times we can ill afford reprogramming without universal consent until we can be assured of a more stable economy. Getting people back to work is the most important item on the agenda. Our Calvinistic free market capitalism heritage fostered hard work, ethical and moral behavior, self reliance, and the performance of good deeds in helping others.Our heritage, our laws, and our societal values have proved their worth over our history and should be revisited, now.
