America has become a disposable society because they do not build things by hand and, if at all, crimes are not punished as harshly. When people had to build houses themselves and furniture by hand and work for a living, they cherished things more because they knew all the hard work and sacrifice that went into it. Today, you hear people saying that furniture that is twenty years old is “old.” However, you go to a Victorian home, and they have furniture that is sometimes over 150 years old, and it still looks new, in the sense that it is in perfect condition. Also, because many people are not held responsible for their crimes, they steal and destroy other peoples’ property because they know that can get away with it, and this is often why certain people are victimized repeatedly. When Kamala posting a note on social media, telling people to bail looters and serious criminals out of jail, for destruction of property, felony assault, felony vandalism, theft, and rape, she weakened the justice system. Also, because Democrats have encouraged people to invade the southern border and are giving them cash aid, food assistance, transportation, and putting them up in sophisticated hotels and even giving them free rent, she is encouraging people to commit crimes and telling them that it is okay to have a sense of entitlement. Meanwhile, the system and taxpayer resources are being depleted faster than a dope fiend stealing from his blind grandmother’s retirement account, while there is a homeless crisis, and housing affordability crisis. Not even veterans, who died and are disabled defending this country are given such freedom. #RandolphHarris 1 of 25

At a time when America is having a financial crisis, it is not the time to welcome more people into the country who need government money. We cannot even take care of our own people and are stealing resources for them that they desperately need. When parents have not finished raising their own children and cannot afford to support them, they do not throw them out in the stress, strip them of their savings and welcome in others to care for. That is just insane. Do not let American become a country of victims, who by law, are not allowed to defend themselves, their homes, their families, nor their properties. More than 400 migrants were smuggled into the America by Isis, and 150 have been arrested. The patriotic Americas did not realize that if Americans were not of the best racial stock, they could never have given their stamp of their own character to an Empire population of more than 343 million, and to others Worldwide. However, only a very few of the Americans have had the testimony to the character of the bitter struggle which they have to carry on daily for the preservation of their American community, their American homes and schools, and their American heritage. Only today when a tragic fate has torn several millions of our kinsfolk away from their culture and has forced them to live under the rule of stranger, dreaming of that common fatherland toward which all their yearnings are directed and fighting to uphold the sacred right of the Constitution of the United States of America—only now have the majority of American people have come to relate to what it means to have to demand and sometimes die for the liberties they were blessed with by being a citizen of the greatest country in the World. And so at least, perhaps there are people hither and tither who can assess the greatness of the American spirit which animated our founding fathers and enabled these great people to hold fast the frontiers of America through revolutions and warfare, at a time when the American Empire was sedulously cultivating this land for its own flesh and blood. #RandolphHarris 2 of 25

What has happened always and everywhere, in every kind of colony, is happening in America today. There are three groups, the fighters, the hedgers, and the traitors. Even our schools are under siege because this is the nursery where the seeds must be water so that they can spring up like the Avenue of Giants to protect future generations. The tactical fighter is winning over the child, and it is to these children that the first rally cry much me addressed: “American youth, do not forget that you are American, be proud of your heritage, honor your country, love God, and make your family proud for one day you will be parents and this is the land that you will leave to your children.” Those who know something of the innocent spirit can understand how youth will always lend a glad ear to such a rallying cry. Under many forms the young people will lead the struggle, defending themselves in their own way and with their own abilities. They will refuse communist doctrines. The greater the efforts made to win them away from the American allegiance, the more they will exalt the glory of their American heroes. They stint themselves from buying things to eat or wear, so that they might spare their dollars to help their families. They are incredibly alert in the significance of what the non-American teachers said, and they contradicted in unison. #RandolphHarris 3 of 25

They worship their God, which has been forbidden by atheists of their own country and are happy when penalized for doing so, or even physically punished. Overall, today’s youth are reflections of loyalty from which the elders might learn a lesson. To his brother, Brooks Adams, pessimism was more than a matter of private despair. In his study of The Law of Civilization and Decay (1896), he set forth his own version of the deeper historical principles behind the façade of social change. The law of force and energy is universal, said Adams in a passage somewhat reminiscent of Spencer, and terrestrial life is only one of the outlets through which solar energy is dissipated. Human societies are forms of terrestrial life, differing in energy according to their natural endowments; but all societies obey the general law that the social movement of a community is proportionate to its energy and mass, and that its degree of centralization is proportionate to its mass. The surplus energetic material not expanded by a society in the daily struggle for life can be stored as wealth, and the stored energy is transmitted from one community to another either by conquest or by superiority in economic competition. Every race sooner or later reaches the limit of its warlike energy and enters upon a phase of economic competition. #RandolphHarris 4 of 25

Surplus energy, when accumulated in such bulk as to preponderate over productive energy, becomes the controlling social force. Capital becomes autocratic. The economic and scientific intellect grows at the expense of imaginative, emotional, and martial arts. A stationary period may supervene, lasting until it is terminated by war or exhaustion or both. The evidence, however, seems to point to the conclusion that, when a highly centralized society disintegrates, under the pressure of economic competition, it is because the energy of the race has been exhausted. Consequently, the survivours of such a community lack the power necessary for renewed concentration, and must probably remain inert until suppled with fresh energetic material by the infusion of barbarian blood. In subsequent volumes, America’s Economic Supremacy (1900) and The New Empire (1902), Adams worked out a materialistic interpretation of society based upon physics, biology, geography, and economics. Surveying the rise and decline of historic states, he attributed changes in supremacy to changes in basic trade routes. The center of economic civilization, now once again in transit, he saw coming to rest in the United States of America; but he warned that “supremacy has always entailed its sacrifices as well as its triumphs, and fortune has seldom smiled on those who, beside being energetic and industrious, have not been armed, organized, and bold.” #RandolphHarris 5 of 25

Nature tends to favour organisms that operate most efficiently—that is, with the most economic expenditure of energy. If not by conquest, wasteful organisms are rejected by nature; they can be eliminated. Idles hands are the Devil’s playground. Adams was particularly anxious about a possible conflict with Russia in the east, for which he thought the United States of American should be well armed. (This theme is also current in America today, as the southern border is wide open, Isis is in America, and other nations are a growing threat.) Concerning the tendency toward centralized empires, he wrote: “Moreover, Americans must recognize that this war to the death—a struggle no longer against single nations but against a continent. There is not room in the economy of the World for two centres of wealth and empire. One organism, in the end, will destroy the other. The weaker must succumb. Under commercial competition, that society will survive which works cheapest; but to be undersold is often more fatal to a population than to be conquered.” All around us not is strife; “the struggle of life,” “the struggle for the American Dream,” “the race of life,” are phrases so familiar that we do not feel their significance till we stop to think about them. Everywhere nation is arrayed against nation; our own no less than others. #RandolphHarris 6 of 25

Material type of man does not necessarily decay as civilization progresses; just look at Russia and Spain. The phenomenon of national decline should not be too closely identified with advancing industrialism. However, failure to produce enough healthy children is the real danger to our society. We need quality, not quantity. We should be vociferously suspicious of a menace of race decadence through decline in the birth rate. If marriages do not produce an average of one child of superior intellect, the numbers of the race cannot be maintained. If the process of racial decay continues in the United States of America, the future of America will rest in the hands of our enemies. Associated with national decline and the loss of the fighting fiber is the menace of the Democratic Peril, which has been most talked about between 2008 and 2024. The prevailing western attitude toward Democrats has been friendly until the economic decline and inflation that started during the Obama presidency and has worsened under Biden. However, with the convincing demonstration of the Democratic martial prowess, attitudes have changed. In the United States of America, fear of the Democrats is especially strong in California and New York, where illegal immigration is bankrupting governments and leading to drastic increases in fraud, assault, sexual assault, and murder, which has been a problem for nearly twenty years. #RandolphHarris 7 of 25

The sensational Democratic press has taken up the menace of illegal immigration and exploited it to the point of stimulating occasional war scares. If the organizing and ruling capacities of the illegal immigrants and Isis should ever gain control of the enormous working capacity of the great American population, the potential threat to the American World is severe and unprecedented. The impending national conflict might come to a head in the extremely near future. The possibility of a war on American soil has not passed away. We are amid one. The enemies are just girding themselves up to begin. They have already started an adventure as tremendous as the ones that started wars in the Middle East and Africa. The threat of the Isis menace is only a small part of a general reawakening of the Islamic State whose urge to expansion, motivated by the Princes’ Crusade in 1096, might soon send it out over the Pacific and ultimately to southwestern America and to the gates of the United States of America via Mexico. Talk of Isis Peril reached its height just before the attack on the World Trade Centers in 2001, when congressmen spoke openly of inevitable conflict in America. Nations are like organisms in their dependence upon growth and expansion to resist disease and decay. #RandolphHarris 8 of 25

As physical vigour represents the strength of man in his struggle for existence, in the same sense military vigour constitutes the strength of nations; ideals, laws and constitutions are but temporary effulgences, and are existent only so long as this strength remains vital. As manhood marks the height of physical vigour among mankind, so the militant success of a nation marks the zenith of its physical greatness. Militancy may be divided into three phases: the militancy of the struggle, the militancy of conquest, and the militancy of supremacy or preservation of ownership. It is in the first stage, the struggle to survive, that the genius of a people reaches its height; the harder this struggle, the more highly developed is the military spirit, with the result that conquerors often arise from desolate wastes or rocky islands. The laws of struggle and survival are universal and unalterable, and the duration of national existence is dependent upon the knowledge of them. Plans to thwart them, to short-cut them, circumvent, to cozen, to scorn and violate [them] is folly such as man’s conceit alone makes possible. Never has this been tried—and man is ever at it—but what the end has been gangrenous and fatal. Congress has warned against possibility of an Isis invasion of the United States of America, and argued that the southern border needs to be closed. Without defense of the southern border, the West Coast stands in deadly danger from Isis and Mexican gangs and cartels. #RandolphHarris 9 of 25

In 2023, the Jalisco drug cartel used 260 bomb dropping drones to target police and the Mexican army. At least 42 soldiers, police and suspects were wounded and several killed. The western state of Michoacan has been turned into a warzone with improvised explosive devised (IEDs) trenches, and armored vehicles. Experts are worried that with 20,000,000 people already invading America that without a border wall, Jalisco and Isis will also turn the boundary between Mexico and the United States of America into a warzone. If Kamla wins the 2024 election, Republicans fear that with the help of Gavin Newsom, Kamla will abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and leave the border defenseless. Americans are flouting the laws of nature by permitting the militancy of their people to decline. A decadent tendency to let individual wants take precedence over the necessities of national existence threatens American power throughout the World. The United States of America, submerged by a flood of immigrants who are hostile towards America, is ceasing to be the strong hold of a patriotic people. The day of the America is ending. For the impending struggles between the Middle East and Mexico against America, the latter is ill prepared. There is only one antidote for American decline: greater militancy. The wall alone, seeing that it is incomplete, will be weak in a way, but universal compulsory military service at the southern border might check the already alarming decline. #RandolphHarris 10 of 25

Self-preservation is the first law of Nature, and this law applies to nation exactly as it applies to individuals. Our American Republic cannot survive unless it obeys the law of survival. Man is by Nature a struggling being; human nature has always been the same. To be unprepared for the struggle is to risk extinction, but preparedness might avert war. The law of the survival of the fittest applies to nations, and the United States of American can assert its fittest only through a national reawakening. At present, without a border wall, some experts are skeptical of the possibility of suppressing war, which is about as difficult as to effectively neutralize the general law which governs all things, namely the survival of the fittest. Life-scripts scenes must be set up and motivated ahead of time, just like theatrical scenes. A simple example is running out of electricity in an electric vehicle. This is nearly always set up two or three days in advance by looking at the gauge, “planning” to charge the car “some time soon,” and then not doing it. In fact, it is possible to run out of electricity “right now: except in a strange car with a broken gauge. It is nearly always an impending event, a pre-planned scene in a loser’s script. Many winners go through a whole lifetime without ever running dry. #RandolphHarris 11 of 25

Life scripts are based on parental programing, which the child seeks out for three reasons. It gives a purpose to life where it might otherwise be wanting. A child does most things for the sake of people, usually his parents. It gives him an acceptable way to structure his time (acceptable, that is, to his parents). People must be told how to do things. Learning for oneself may be inspiring, but it is not very practical. A man does not become a good pilot by wrecking a few airplanes and learning by his errors. He must learn through other people’s failures, not his own. A surgeon must have a teacher, rather than taking out appendixes one after the other to find out all the things that can go wrong. So, parents program their children by passing on to them what they have learned, or what they think they have learned. If they are losers, they will pass on their loser’s programming, and if they are winners, then they will pass on that kind of program. The long-term patten always has a storyline. While the outcome is determined for better or for worse by parental programming, the child is often free to select his own plot. One cannot talk about the aim of “adjustment” which much of contemporary psychoanalysis has without mentioning at least the problem of the function of psychology in contemporary industrial society. #RandolphHarris 12 of 25

This is a society which needs to make man fit in a complicated and hierarchically organized system of production with a minimum of friction. It creates the organization man, a man without conscience or conviction, but one who is proud of being a cog, even if a small one, in a big and imposing organization. He is not to ask questions, not to think critically, not to have any passionate interests, for this would impede the smooth functioning of the organization. However, man is not made to be a thing, he is not made to shun asking questions. Hence, despite “job security,” “old-age pensions” and the satisfaction of belonging to a large and “nationally known” outfit, man is disquieted and not happy. Here the psychologist comes in. By his tests he has already eliminated the more adventurous and rebellious types, and for those who are still not happy with the organization life he offer relief by letting them “express” themselves, by giving them the satisfaction that somebody listens to them and, eventually—and most importantly—by making it clear to them that lack of adjustment is a kind of neurosis, thus helping them to remove those tendencies which stand in the way of full adjustment. The psychologists, using the “right” words from Socrates to Dr. Freud, become the priests of industrial society, helping to fulfill its aims by helping the individual to become the perfectly adjusted organization man. #RandolphHarris 13 of 25

As leaders step up to guide the youth, the mature, and the country, they will form Councils. These Councils should not only represent various shades of political, religious, and philosophical convictions but also various fields of activities. Natural and social scientists, individuals from the fields of government, business, management sciences, philosophers, theologians, and artists should be among the members. However, the foremost principle is the integrity and accomplishment of the members which override the principle of well-balanced composition. It hardly needs to be added that the members of these Councils must be persons with a deep concern for the public weal, and hence willing to spend time and energy on their work in the Councils. It is not too farfetched to think that the moral and intellectual weight of such groups could be of considerable influence on the thinking of Americans and by the freshness of its approach attract a great deal of attention. How would the members of the Council be chosen? Quite obviously, they would not be elected as candidates are elected in a political party. And they could not very well be appointed by one supreme figure either, since that would give undue power to one individual. However, the formation of the National Council and of the local Councils appears to be so difficult if one is caught in the old alternative between free election or arbitrary appointment. #RandolphHarris 14 of 25

If one liberates oneself from these alternatives and thinkers imaginatively, one will discover that there are methods which are perfectly feasible—although not as neat as the traditional ones. There are quite a number of people known for their integrity and achievement, and it would not be particularly difficult for a group of, let us say, ten to agree on the names of forty or fifty people who should be invited, by asking others who combine wisdom and intelligence what their preferences would be. Naturally, forty or fifty people who were approached would themselves indicate who among those suggested were unacceptable to them, and what others they might suggest. As a result of this procedure, one might get a National Council which would not satisfy everybody and yet which would be fundamentally representative of the American conscience. The method of forming this Council is nonbureaucratic, personalistic, concrete, and, for this very reason, more effective than the traditional methods/ The regional and local Councils could be formed in the same way, possibly assisted by suggestions from the members of the National Council. The Councils, of course, do not satisfy the needs which have been mentioned before: the need of the individual to work actively together with others, to talk, plan, and act together, to do something which is meaningful beyond the money-making activities of everyday life. #RandolphHarris 15 of 25

To relate in a less alienated fashion than is customary in most relations to others, to make sacrifices, to put in practice norms and values in everyday life, to be open and “vulnerable,” to be imaginative, to rely on one’s own judgment and decision, the formation of a new type of social group is necessary. I propose that this kind of shared activity and interest could occur on two levels: in larger groups of 100 to 300 members who would form “Clubs,” and in much smaller “Groups” of about 25 members, which would follow the same principle but in a much more intensive and absorbing way. If possible, the Clubs should be mixed in age and social class—but only experience would show to what extent practical considerations might make such a mixture difficult; it might be necessary that the Clubs be relatively homogeneous, but this defect could be made up for by an arrangement whereby Clubs with very different kinds of memberships could meet together regularly to exchange views and have personal contact. The Clubs should have a permanent meeting place; this could be a mansion or an attic space, or a school, church, or other building which could be rented at a fee contributed by the members. The meetings, which might take place once a week, should be meetings for exchanging information, discussion, and planning for the dissemination of the ideas of the movement. #RandolphHarris 16 of 25

There should also be some relevant practical work undertaken by all members, such as participation in political campaigns, organization of discussion groups among neighbors and friends, engaging political leaders in public debates, problem-oriented care of public functions and community property, care of people—seniors, children, and people in trouble—in the spirit of concern and stimulation rather than of bureaucratic methods. (It has been amply demonstrated that there are many people without degrees who, by their talent and skill, do as good or better work with and for others than the specialist. The groups would have their own cultural life: showing movies, discussing books and ideas, dance music, art—all an active and nonconsumer type. Poets and writers make use of metaphours, analogies, and symbols to express truths of experience that cannot be expressed in more prosaic terms. For example, how else can one describe the experience of being in the company of a very dependent person except to say, “He is a lech who such my blood every time he comes near.” To say, “He is a leech,” is not to classify him as a zoologist would, but does point to a characteristic of his that is real. The ability to see such similarities between things, people, or actions and other phenomena that seem remote assists a person to develop an enriched understanding of the World. #RandolphHarris 17 of 25

Metphour and analogy are ways to foster insight in a person who is having difficulties in living; psychotherapists frequently interpret a patient’s dilemmas in metaphouric and analogical ways, in the hope that the patient will be assisted, thereby, to see the situation more clearly or in a new perspective. Thus, a patient might complain that he cannot give up his girlfriend, even though she no longer wishes to see him; he suffers the tortures of the demand when he is not in her company, yet he only fights with her when they are together. The therapist might say, “You are addicted to her company the way an addict is to heroin. You have withdrawal symptoms. The patient might then discover that he can “kick” the habit of seeing his girl, and get on with a livable life. Metaphour is a way to make sense out of something new that appears within one’s horizon. Novel phenomena may be frightening. To use metaphours, analogies, or symbols to describe them is to “tame” them, to note the similarity between something novel and something old and familiar. Metaphouric thinking is also a way to bring about “breakthroughs” in scientific fields of inquiry. #RandolphHarris 18 of 25

The behaviourists say, for example, that the human being is an organism, like a tiger or or butterfly. They then proceed to study human beings with methods proven useful in the study of these other living entities. Such description is a case of subtle use of metaphor, or more precisely, analogy. To day that human beings are terrestrial beings conceals that fact that they are like other living creatures on Earth, but not entirely like them; they have some capacities that differ from those found in other living species. To say that human beings are machines is likewise to conceal the analogy that has been seen by the discerning inquirer. Human beings are not machines, so that to understand a machine is to understand something about human beings. Scientists who have the capacity to employ new metaphours, similes, and analogies are frequently more creative in their fields of research and theory than those confined to only one model of metaphour. This brings us to the defensive inhibitions and evasive maneuvers in which a resistance may express itself. These forms of blocking the way are as innumerable as the variations in personality, and they may develop at any point along the way. They may prevent a person from staring to analyze a problem; they may impair the value of his free associations; they may block his understanding; they may invalidate his findings. #RandolphHarris 19 of 25

An inhibition toward starting to analyze a problem may be indiscernible, for as a rule a person who is working alone does not analyze himself regularly anyhow. He should not concern himself about the periods in which he feels no need for analysis, though a resistance may be operative in such periods too. However, he should be very wary about the times when he feels acutely distressed, disgruntled, fatigued, irritated, indecisive, apprehensive, and nevertheless refrains from any attempt to clarify the condition. He may then feel a conscious reluctance to analyze himself although he is fully aware that by doing so he would at least give himself a chance to get out of the distress and learn something from it. Or he may find any number of excuses for not making the attempt—he is too busy, too fired, there is too little time. This form of resistance is likely to be more frequent in self-analysis than in professional analysis because in the latter, while the patient may forget or cancel an hour occasionally, there is sufficient pressure of routine, politeness, and money to prevent him from doing it very often. In the process of free association, the defensive inhibitions and evasions operate in devious ways. They may make a person flatly unproductive. They may lead him to “figure out” rather than let his mind run freely. They may cause his thoughts to wander off on a tangent, or, rather, produce a kind of dozing off in which he forgets to keep track of the associations that emerge. #RandolphHarris 20 of 25

A resistance can block his understanding by producing blind spots toward certain factors. Either he will pay no attention to such factors, or he will fail to grasp their meaning or significance, even though he is perfectly capable of doing so; there were several examples of this in Clare’s analysis. And the feelings or thoughts that emerge may be minimized, at the beginning Clare minimized her resentment and her unhappiness concerning her relationship with her significant other, Peter. Furthermore, the resistance may lead to a search in a wrong direction. Here the danger is not so much in being altogether fanciful in the interpretation—that is, reading something into the associations that is not there—as in picking out an existing factor without considering the context in which it appears, and thereby integrating it wrongly. Clare’s interpretation of the memory of her doll Kimberly is an example. Finally, when a person does arrive at a real finding a resistance operating through inhibitions or evasions can spoil its constructive value in many ways. Perhaps he will invalidate the significance of his finding. Or instead of working at it patiently he may precociously decide that conscious efforts to overcome the difficulty are all that is needed. Or he may refrain from following it up, because he “forgets” about it, does not “feel like” doing it, or for some reason or other simply does not get around to doing it. #RandolphHarris 21 of 25

And when it is necessary for him to take a clear stand he may, in conscious food faith, resort to one or another compromise solution and thereby deceive himself about the result he has attained. He will believe then—Clare did several times—that he has solved a problem though actually he is still far from a solution. False compassion, like false sentimentality, does harm under the delusion that it is doing good. The abolition of flogging in England and the eruption of youthful merciless, brutal, criminal violence are not unconnected. The legal punishment of birching was not cruel: but the use of it on the wrong persons—starving men, for instance—was cruel. For hooligans and bullies it is a fit deterrent. Some students have express disagreement with my use of the term “compassion” when describing the enlightened man’s loftiest social quality. They believe the common term “love” would be more correct. Now one of the fundamental terms of the New Testament is, in the original Greek, “agape”—which is always translated as “love.” However, this is unsatisfactory because man’s love may be selfishly motivated whereas “agape” has the definite implication of unselfish, or better, selfless love. And the only English word which I can find to express this idea is the one which I have used, that is, “compassion.” #RandolphHarris 22 of 25

If we cast out its selfish, sentimental, or sensual associations, the word “love” would be enough to express this attitude, but because these associations thickly encrust its meaning, the word “compassion” is better used. The kind of compassion here meant is not condescending toward others. Rather does it stretch out its hands through innate fellow-feeling for them. It puts itself in the shoes of others and intellectually experiences life from their standpoint. Hatred ceaseth not by hatred. It ceaseth only by compassionate love. This is why Jesus tells us to love our enemies. Many people, who wish to do what is ethically right and feel that their best course is to follow the ethics prescribed by such great souls as Jesus or the Holy Ghost, get confused here and wallow in sentimentality under the mistaken impression that they are following these counsels. However, if they believe that Jesus taught us to practice outwardly and practically unconditional and universal forgiveness, the sentimentalists misunderstood Him. On the contrary, He made repentance the prerequisite of such visible forgiveness. Those who refuse to repent and persist in wrongdoing must be inwardly and silently forgiven, but otherwise left to suffer the Universal Law of their actions. What is really meant is that we should be big-hearted enough not to exclude our enemies from our goodwill to all mankind and that we should be intelligent enough to comprehend that they are only acting according to their own experience and knowledge of life. #RandolphHarris 23 of 25

This is to “forgive them for they know not what they do.” When we hold them in thought and when we imagine them with feeling, we must do so without anger, without hatred, without bitterness. All doctrines which are based on hatred emanate from the most morbid of the evil forces. Hatred is always their indicator just as compassion is always an indicator of the good forces. By practicing great-hearted compassion, we help to counteract whatever ill-feelings have been generated. Therefore let us not at anytime or under any provocation lose ourselves in emotions of resentment, bitterness, and hatred. We must not hate the most misguided of our enemies. We may oppose their false ideas resolutely, we may hate their sins, but not the sinners. We must pity even the most violent of them and not spoil our own character by accepting their example. We must not sink to the low level of seeking revenge. The desire for revenge is a primitive one.  It is apposite to the tiger and reptile kingdom, but in the human kingdom it should be replaced by the desire for justice. These two attributes—hatred and pity—stand at opposite poles to each other: the one as being the worst of all human vices and the other as being the best of all human virtues. This, then, is a further reason why we must take care not to fall into the all-too-east habit of hating enemies. For they are still members of this great human family of ours, still creatures planted like us on this woeful plant both to learn its immediate lessons and to share its ultimate redemption. #RandolphHarris 24 of 25

The Sacramento Fire Department is a versatile and forward-thinking agency dedicated to ensuring the utmost safety and well-being of the City of Sacramento. “A friend of mine died in that big warehouse fire. He and his boss, Captain X, went in there. They both died. Some people said they shouldn’t have. Well, they had to go in there because they thought it was occupied. There was so much water upstairs that the weight of it caused the floors to collapse. Three floors went down, and they were smashed inside the rubble, flatter than a pancake. I got a look at that, and thought, ‘Wow, he was my age.” This was right after my own close call. Before that I had this feeling I would never get hurt, only the older guys get hurt. I’ve been to a lot of funerals, but I’ve never seen anything like this. You’ve got five thousand firemen, the best, the strongest, toughest guys in the World, all crying. There were different funeral homes, but at the final funeral home we lined the streets with our brothers, give thousand from all over the country. They all got tears in their eyes. They don’t even know this guy from Adam, and they are all crying. It was tough.” The Sacramento Fire Department provides protection of life, property, and the environment from the effects of fire, medical emergencies, and hazards in the safest, most efficient manner possible. You can help save lives by donating to the Sacramento Fire Department. And always remember to raise your children to love America, to be patriotic, to love God and Jesus Christ, to respect law and order, to treat others with compassion and dignity, and to buy American cars and other American made products. I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it Stands, One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with liberty and Justice for all. There lives a God! When life is waning, His love is near and He shall save; my years are all of His ordaining, He only taketh what He gave. The grave shall not end all for me, Thou livest, God, I live in Thee. #RandolphHarris 25 of 25
