Any group of human beings who are supposedly in a free society and who have a leader (or a council of people who lead), assigned by that group to make decisions for the common interests of the group, must rely on their own \u201cself-regulation,\u201d above and beyond the leaders\u2019 government, in order to survive.<\/p>\n

This is imperative as a \u201ccheck and balance\u201d criterion for a healthy society.<\/p>\n

In most democratic societies this is done through the elective process. People are put into power, and taken out of power if need be, through elections, i.e., the popular vote. The people have to keep a keen eye on what is happening in their communities, at the local level, and in their nations, at a national level. And of course, they must exercise due diligence concerning global happenings as well. Only then will they know who to vote for that best serves their community.<\/p>\n

This is how we have control, albeit sometimes not enough, of our government. We have little control over non-government organizations (NGOs) through the elective process. But we do have control, again to some degree, on social norms, moralities, values, and other things that may grate against our own \u201ccommunity standards\u201d as a mass, through protest and other demands for accountability. In this regard, our society is somewhat kept in check through a nation\u2019s constitutional requirements, as well as our personal assertion as to what is \u201cright\u201d and what is \u201cwrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Human beings have traditionally been on the same page with some of these very basic tenets. For example, there are very few cultures, if any, that advocate, as a foundational tenet, murder. Very few, if any, that advocate child sexual abuse, or physical abuse (of course, what determines either one of these things can be rather subjective.)<\/p>\n

Regardless of the outliers always present when making sweeping statements (which certainly there are, and a discussion of these outliers would take enormous time and attention), human beings share many fundamental tenets of \u201cgood humanness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unless, of course, they are pushed away from these fundamental tenets by some external force\u2014corrupt government, con men, evil\u2026Satan. Some will say we have a natural tendency to turn to amoral ways (think Moses stepping out for a moment to collect the Ten Commandments and what then ensued).<\/p>\n

That being said, what happens when a culture at large experiences, within that culture, something that deviates sharply from these tenets? The occurrence of such a deviation could come directly from the government, or come from the collective (or, in our current situation, appear to come from the collective, but in fact is an intentional deviation created by the agenda.)<\/p>\n

The answer to the first question, in ideal times, is this: The culture doesn\u2019t stand for it. They make their dissatisfaction clear, and they revolt, or at the very least, do not comply with the agenda. They say, \u201cI\u2019m mad as hell, and I am not going to take this anymore!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
