Been Thinking About--Extra

Michael Reagan points out "when government invades our property rights, it's only a small step toward invading every other right we have" in his new book ((The New Reagan Revolution--How Ronald Reagan's Principles Can Restore America's Greatness))". The Children of Light and the Children of darkness in the Free World and Evil Empire clash in an eternal duel. President Reagan thinks the materialistic philosophy of communist puts no absolute value on truth and can exculpate them from any charge because their self-righteous purposes always justify any means.

When the landscape of civilization and political spectrum shift toward Beijing's, revisiting John Finnis' ((Natural Law and Natural Rights)) (2011, Oxford University Press) can reinforce my conviction that there are laws of nature-- "ordinances of heaven and earth"(Jeremiah 33:25) and reviewing Robert Nozick's((Anachy, State and Utopia, Chapter 7)) should further remind us the entitlement theory respecting people's natural rights, in particular, their rights to property and their rights to self-ownership--further justice in acquisition, justice in transfer and rectification of injustice.

The "entitlement" of communist in Canada can embezzle and encroach other person's property in bank accounts only to trample international financial ordinance, but I'd rather appreciate the Moism developed in China 2500 years ago. I wish the concept of God and gold developed in the Max Weber's Protestantism can thrive in Canadian financial institution which had the roots in Anglo-American tradition to seek God who can reveal Himself. By the way, Dr.Norman Bethune, a supporter of Maoist regime that killed millions of people and a communist hero in China, is discredited by Canadian MP Rob Anders recently(See CBC News "Tory MP calls Bethune memorial a 'bow' to China" on July 14, 2012).

When "red-colored gold politics" and" black-colored gold politics" are mixed together(See July 11, 2012 blog) and officialdom and underworld medley looms large (to quote Ms.He, Qing-lian, see July 6, 2012 blog)), it's imminent to strengthen the SOX Act, FCPA and similar Accounting Acts and Sunshine Power Acts worldwide.
