My last article about Principles and Value Judgments had just been posted when President Obama appeared on television talking about the “principles” in his health care plan. Which were not principles at all. This is another example of misleading by misuse of the language. And in the area of Principles versus value judgments is the most glaring misleading misuse. As a Harvard graduate, I don’t know if the president knows the difference in the meaning of the two words or not. It doesn’t really matter whether he does or not, but it matters in your life whether or not you understand the difference.

It was back in the sixties when I was pursuing an understanding of the philosophy of freedom, that I realized it was necessary to understand the difference in principles and value judgments.
I had not given the subject much thought until I applied for a scholarship and received a notice a requirement for application was to write a paper on, “The Moral Imperative.” I was working at the time as Executive Director of a Motel Managers School. I came home from work and sat down at the typewriter with no idea where to start, when suddenly it came to me to write about principles and value judgments. I wrote it all out in about three hours, and mailed it the next day.

I’m one of those persons who collect things. I save magazines, books, documents, newspaper clippings, letters and all sorts of things going back almost 100 years ago.
Because my parents were very young when I was born, my grandparents were rather young and I had a total of fourteen aunts and uncles, growing up. Some were even younger than I was. Plus the fact I had great-grandparents still living in my early life. Therefore, many of my experiences growing up on a farm in Northeast Georgia were positive ones. And I still have boxes of mementoes from that era.
