 The values in this blog page are all very conceptual, but also very concrete in there meaning and stance. It is easy to take away a lot of insight from each and every one. They also seem very basic and well-rooted in our culture that every value almost seems obvious. To break everyone down in terms of your morals and your perspective shows how applicable every value is to what we see in our society and our communities The first being Market Place of Ideas. When truth and falsehood are in conflict truth wins out and conflict enforces an even greater truth. This idea is very very human as opposed to just structurally sound. As humans, we are in conflict with our self truths and with each other's truths. After all the conflict, there ends up being a climax and however the truth affects us as humans, it ends up being more influential than any feeling to come before.

Without it, one side dominates making for a seemingly permanent grey world. It seems like a noble cause, but what is being fought for seems just if not unrealistic.

There truly is a lot to be contested, or rather our constitution is being contested by those who think they are upholding our most basic of rights as citizens.  There is meant to be freedom of and from the religion, of speech, of the press, of assembly, and to petition. These days people seem to combine them all into one big giant free pass for the chaos the brews in our cities and towns. What people need to realize is that they need to separate the ways they take action, because when the question is what does the first amendment actually protect, the answer is it protects our inaction. Not meaning doing nothing, but our physical inaction. What is protected is what we think and what we believe. In Portland, the protests of the BLM and other groups are constantly at a breaking point. People are scared and angr...
