I have developed this collection of "thoughts" over several years. Most require a little more examination than they might appear on the surface. Click on the sphere next to the law for a little more explaination. Each screen has a different MIDI music selection, so come for the brain food, but stay for the ear candy!

I'd love to have your feedback (chuck@kcuhc.com) on these thoughts!

1.		Control is the most important freedom -- it belongs as close to an individual as possible.
2.		For every action or inaction there are consequences.
3.		Ultimately people have the ability to act or observe.
4.		It is reasonable to assume that silence is consent.
5.		Banning something is not an acceptable solution to a problem -- educate don’t legislate.
6.		Inconsistency is indicative of weakness.
7.		There are situations where the end justifies the means. While this does not mean such actions are legal, they are right.
8.		Ignoring evidence, facts, and common sense does not make them go away.
9.		Failure to actively develop an opinion can be dangerous.
10.		Any form of prejudice is bad and ultimately destructive.
11.		Selective recognition of information is dishonest or ignorant.
12.		The parenting we receive will determine who we are more than any other single factor.
13.		An honest mistake, while just as destructive as a malicious one, is forgivable.
14.		A person need not necessarily experience something first hand in order to speak intelligently about it; and vice-versa.
15.		Man is natural; therefore everything man does is natural.
16.		Any system that cannot survive on its own merits is not necessarily worthy of survival.
17.		People are more alike than not; people from the same culture even more so.
18.		The only difference between mature and immature is that mature knows when not to act immature.
19.		Achievement should not be punished.
20.		The single most significant threat to man is debt.
21.		If we each lived by the following three rules (in the order listed), peace would result: (1) Enjoy life as much as absolutely possible. (2) Hurt as few people as absolutely possible. (3) Help as many people as absolutely possible.
22.		Society would benefit if people first took care of themselves, then took care of family, then took care of friends, and lastly, took care of others.
23.		A god is only as powerful as the person who created it.
24.		If you anxiously seek something, you will likely find something -- but it probably won’t be what you were seeking.
25.		It can be a grave error to equate any "vague" with any "absolute".
26.		People are not responsible for their thoughts.
27.		Trust is the single most important factor in any relationship.
28.		Alternatives always exist.
29.		The single most important possession of any living thing -- be it a bug, a weed, or a human being - is its own life.
30.		There is no such thing as an absolute fact. Know the foundations of your beliefs and test them frequently.
31.		Decisions based primarily on emotion are inherently flawed.
32.		No organization is so coordinated that a large-scale long-term conspiracy could possibly work.
33.		Tolerating a bad thing, simply because it could be worse, is among the most destructive of human tendencies.
34.		For everything real there is an artificial.
35.		What needs to be done is often simple -- but difficult.
36.		Feelings are valid.
37.		Words mean things.
38.		Effort is nice. Results are better.
