Description

I am a Nutrition Coach for a large health/fitness corporation. I am a student for life, and a student of life. *** I am absolutely overjoyed with the human capacity of discovery and the human potential that is thereby made possible. I see the world with the freshness and exuberance of a child (a world without limits - BECAUSE curious, joy-seeking humans inhabit it). *** I liken philosophy to learning a skill or trade; the most important skill or trade possible. I believe that discovering the proper use of a human mind is literal emancipation (the "bottle-neck"; beyond which "truth, goodness, beauty, virtue, wisdom, and love" begin to flow like Niagra Falls). *** I have a blog (collecting cyber-dust by now!) at: http://www.ed-ucator.blogspot.com

When the Founders made happiness part of America’s political fabric they made clear that what each of us has a right to is the pursuit of it. As with all individual rights in this political tradition, the right to the pursuit of happiness is a right to take actions of certain sorts, ones that are aimed at achieving our happiness. Even the most basic right, to one’s life, is a right to take a great many actions. Life, after all, consists of being active! The right to private property, too, is a right to take actions that result in the acquisition of valued items. (Read more...)
