Cyber Psalm is a place for some of my writings. I am Jim Sutton, a progressive Christian citizen. I am an advocate for human rights, peace, and justice.
Culture, politics, and justice are Cyber Psalm topics. They interrelate too much to keep articles perfectly categorized. Culture on top, setting values and norms that politics is to support, which justice is to enforce. Like gears powering society. My forte might be certain aspects of criminal justice, but lately, social turmoil pulls me asunder.
For That More Perfect Union
Americans are not going to be forced back fifty or a hundred years, at least not willing. Count me among those who want the country to come back as a stronger-than-ever democracy. Now the lines are clearly drawn, and people are being shocked into awareness. I am glad for this awakening because dark forces have made the fight inevitable. People who have been pushed to the point of having to fight know this: advantage often comes by just getting it on. Time – the waiting – has been working against the people. Now it is a matter of fighting to win. The proper good fight.
Groups I work with via Cyber Psalm
People are naturally more socialist than they are fascist
I make this claim based on good human nature and the good teachings of Jesus. Any thinking caring person who is exposed to the simple true definitions of the terms would agree, barring outside influences. Youth know it intuitively.
This is important because socialism versus fascism is the clearest way to look at the big fight. For socialists, this represents a tremendous educational challenge.
Peace be with you
The founders and then Lincoln (at Gettysburg) communicated expansively about “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” However, I slightly adapt the words, calling for life, liberty, and well-being for all. Well-being is a little more basic, more directly needed and theoretically more attainable.
I live in metro Detroit but make good use of a class B camper van. The partner and I roam this beautiful nation. I go from the country side to the city, interacting with both the ācity monstersā and those ākiller hillbilliesā (tongue-in-cheek). God love them all. America needs them all.
Writing is part of me being my best self. Please accept Cyber Psalm as my passionate offering.
