Some of the headlines around Illegal Immigration made me think about due process. I am not a lawyer and can’t see the legal landscape (I am not in court rooms or at law firms). I learned somethings about due process listening to the following video. Due process facilitates human rights and protection of democracy, seems like something worthy of turning up.

Thoughts on corporations as a person. May corporations be compelled to incriminate themselves? Also thoughts on confiscation without just compensation on a personal or corporate level.

Thoughts of different political parties and fair elections – all voters and citizens provided due process factors into perception of less leverage and oppression, which factors into fair elections perceived and winners of elections appreciated.

Fair elections likely leads to less riots and more community service (collaboration, peace building, and open communication channels), facilitates citizens thinking better of each other and benefit of the doubt.

Thoughts listening of how we incorporate in grouping and equality categorization and classification in non ideal ways. Metaphors are an example of how we turn this up on the common and might factor into law, weighting, and judgement. Is and is not, how they apply on systemic and computational levels, from their example of hair braiders as cosmotalegists.

If as risk is ideally distributed?

Sold as might not equate to delivered as

Separation between Church and State yet overlap might be convoluted at times – love your neighbor, Golden Rule both facilitate greater equity and inclusion

Expecting the system to act like The Christian guiding light is unlikely to deliver ideally in practice, potential for not all good for the system or all good for The Church (Christianity and Christians as a system). Expectations not met is hope and faith dashed.

Do you want The Priest as the System’s Judge? Do you want the System’s Judge as your Priest? Potential for non ideal leverage between the two systems. What happens if the System turns evil or The Church turns evil? Jonestown, Witch burnings, unexplained health problems that might factor into sanity, ability to reason

System is H agree (partial agree) with The Church, Church is H agree with System. Church’s claim as ideally divested from double minded ideal?

Some Thoughts on Dallas Dart

I think no more investment in public transportation until they build public restrooms into Dart

Reduced cost for disabled yet no public bathroom for disabled?

Disabled might end up homeless, homeless might equate to dart train as only access to AC in Texas sun. Dart maybe doesn’t want homeless doesn’t really want disabled, doesn’t really want disabled protected?

The system works against itself

No bathrooms might equate to more investment in businesses like bars and restaurants, yet with inflation and increased losses due to disabilities I am not sure that justifies no public bathrooms at Dart facilities.

Not to mention if people decide to go to war turning up laxatives at coffee shops. Fly in, important business meeting, take the train….

Gives feeling of passive aggressive design. We want to get you from point A to point B but if you end up shitting yourself on the street that is none of our concern.

Peacemaking and Humor

World of you told the wrong joke one time in the past and you will never be forgiven for it to better.

Humor does not always land well. It is particular to audience and particular to comprehension the joke teller might not have and comprehension the audience, listener might not have.

Things that are serious made light might be hurtful.
Things that are humorous taken seriously might be hurtful.

I like to laugh, like to joke, I also know it isn’t fun to always be the butt of someone’s joke or feel like the things you care about are trivial, a nuisance, can be discarded with your dignity and contributions.

People aren’t perfect but like to think they are at times. The Bible preaches forgiveness based upon that fact that people with not always ideal intentions and not always ideal comprehension can not only be saved and forgiven but can learn to be better, are worthy of forgiving and still having as part of the team.

Forgiveness might be seen as when convenient when it is profitable for self to do so. Yet society turns up laughs, jokes, and humor as useful which has the capacity to create problems in combination.

It is worthy of note it is possible to get someone to be unforgiving right before they hear a joke, will deliver have to deliver a joke might not always be the wisest. “With great power comes great responsibility” might be overlooked with humor. While society might acknowledge it is a partial investor in humor – joy and problems that come with it they might not try to jump on the grenade before the rare edge case anomaly problems happen – just because one can see doesn’t mean they can stop it.

I like to laugh and I also don’t like practical jokes that go too far like in the movie Carrie where they cover her in pigs blood. More obvious sometimes easy to see than where the true dangers lie.

Potential for serious comments to be upsold to a joke in non ideal ways. Potential for deliver wrong or with more anxiety than laughing along to not be truly appreciated as a joke.

The wrong joke could theoretically lead to unforgiveness and substantial losses to finances compounded overtime. If we inspire a world with more grace and forgiveness that is less likely to happen and those that joke around might have families that need to be supported too – unforgiveness seen as only will affect one person seems unwise.

Can turn the screws tighter so there is no forgiveness and grace in the room, I think it is wiser for peacemaking to take the forgiveness route. Likely more grace screws not too tight in advance could lead to people working together, giving each other the benefit of the doubt, making peace through open communication channels rather than silence as the only way to establish value.

Jokes can be taken too far and that is not all value added for the world. Golden Rule and treat others how you wish to be treated 999 + 1 more test is not always wise, tests in combination add up. Still worth forgiving that it is not the 1 person that pushes it over the top, it is partially the 999 other tests that leads to 1000. Problem is humor can be useful as a conversation starter or might get you to tell a joke to someone at 999 in their day. If they took the 999 tests less seriously they might be well equipped to take 1 more less seriously. My guess is enough tests with anyone things might get less humorous.

Redistricting Thoughts

Reading https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/11/texas-redistricting-00448145 and had some thoughts

Does redistricting reinforce a 2 party system? Progress on Global Warming as ideal, other parties and ideas included in a true democracy? Potential for forgoing equitable justice for all parties by optimizing for 2 parties on the common.

Not red or blue as can’t be dehumanized as human rights have to be respected, are worth turning up?

Dehumanized how? Like left without access to resources, capacity to gain better profit from own labor?

Dehumanized how? Like left on the street without access to a public restroom? Are we past that in 2025?

Texas, a great state in a first world country, really should be zero human rights abuses in 2025, but maybe my bar is too high.

A Beacon of Hope and Peace or heat strokes as all we got going for us?

Homeless in Dallas 2

Will people steal from the homeless? Yes.Is leaving people out on the street in the Texas heat all humanization? No

It beats stuck in an unjust jail where shivs are optional? Yes

Work hard try to do right try to make Peace will lead to off the street? No

Not really the blessings I was looking for from a God that claims to give a damn? YesIt is all desire to drink out? No

Hot, less access to showers and clean, less trust friends and society will be there for you in tough time – combination likely to get people sober or to drink more? Combo known might lead to more sober, realization that inebriated might give evil more capacity to follow through with setting you to less.

While at the same time that same God that claims to care about you offloads Good Samaritan and Golden Rule on to the backs of the homeless (homeless left to help each other) while keeping the miracles on reserve for those He truly cares about?

Imagine if everyone in Dallas decided not to buy drugs tonight, not to drink excessively. Might change something for the positive.
