Though George Washinton is dead,
as an entity to live, with respect to
what is considered to be a record
of his life, it is reasonable to say,
with respect to the fact that all
three have made judgements,
and one's judgement is always
a record of the past, and what
it suggests of decisions to be
made in the future, in this
context George Washinton
(1732-1799) may be
considered to have attributes.
Though I will not disagree that
he is dead. He does not breath.
He does not eat. He does not
laugh. He does not walk.
Nevertheless, it is rather an
extraordinary suggestion,
that nothing remains.
I have more awareness of
George Washinton's existence,
than George Bush's existence,
or John Kerry's existence.
Indeed, I would value the time
spent reading the thought of
George Washington, than
talking to George Bush or
John Kerry directly.
Now, it may be suggested
that the first law of your
country, is the separation
of church and state.
The separation of the temporal
and non-temporal worlds.
One of the most important
reasons for this separation,
is that goverment has no
power over that which is
not of this world.
Therefore, one would wonder
why a government, or any of
its administrators would concern
themselves with thing over which
those concerns can serve no Earthly
purpose.
This is one of the basic values of
your country. Regrettably, it is
not a democratic value, but a
preemptive judgement of reason
over what is often the popular will.
Now, considering George Washinton
as a representative of values represented
by the first law of your country, it is
puposeful and meaningful to compare
the values and judgements of these
three people.
Though, in all honesty, I must confess
that I harbor the inverse prejudice that
you have suggested. But I would not
be so bold as you as to express it.
