About Me

My name is Ron Campbell, I live in North Vancouver, BC Canada and I turned 61 in the fall of 2010. This is my 2nd Blog, you can find my other blog  Wholeness of LIFE and the "About Me" page will list more of my background if you are interested. I will not repeat the info here that you can find at the above link. My other blog is about SPIRITUALITY, this blog is more on SOCIETY and our daily physical Life.

Here I will explain where I am coming from when discussing my views on Politics, Society in general, our Justice system and other Social issues.

In general some may pigeonhole me as "Anti-Social" and this would not be correct, the closest pigeonhole that I may be set to is "Anti-Authority" and this would not be totally accurate. It is not so much that I am Anti-Authority as I am concerned about the MISS USE OF AUTHORITY. Also how Authority is often followed blindly and without question.

There are a number of basic principals that I follow that is of interest here;

1. I do not see myself politically as being Left or Right in my Political Beliefs. In fact I see this polarization of Left vs Right as the main obstacle in our Political system. In fact this conflict between the various Political Parties drastically affects the running of our Society. It is for this reason that I will often support the INDEPENDENT politician as opposed to any PARTY.
2. I see the value of the INDIVIDUAL as being paramount. Having strong individuals builds a strong society. Social Engineering attempts to create everyone into a similar mold, this will weaken our society. 
3. There are no absolute TRUTHS - "All truths are half-truths". What we see as FACTS or TRUTHS are often affected by one's perceptions.
4. BELIEFS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN KNOWLEDGE! The level of BELIEF that I am referring to here is a very fundamental BELIEF. As a example some individual BELIEVE IN SCIENCE, it is their BELIEF in SCIENCE that is more important than the SCIENCE. Some BELIEVE IN RELIGION, it is their BELIEF in RELIGION that is more important than the RELIGION. ANOTHER EXAMPLE - is the INDIVIDUAL can have all the training and knowledge they can accumulate, without the BELIEF IN THEM SELF, all the knowledge will not work for them. It is the individuals BELIEF in them self that allows the individual to utilize their knowledge effectively. It is this fundamental level of BELIEF that I am referring to here!

In my posts in this blog I will be coming from the above perceptions. The last thing I want to make clear about myself is that I greatly enjoy RESPECTFUL discussions and debates. As I value the INDIVIDUAL means I also value INDEPENDENT THOUGHT AND PERCEPTIONS.  

Questions, disagreements, and general comments are greatly encouraged!
