Oh Say Nation with Marilynn Stark

Sound and Light

MISSION STATEMENT
Whereas it is the nature of people to exercise their will upon others in the collective whole of the society about them and further, if more remotely, upon the national politic such that they will guard their human rights towards survival, their civic freedoms towards grace, and optimally their social conscience by duty-mindedness, discriminating by thriving wits while yet living in the pursuit of happiness;
thus does it become necessary to keep alive a conversation of the mind so as to cultivate if not reveal that subjectively held will in each and every citizen wherein opinion may be honored and expressed as well as duly represented both diffusely through the representative democratic political process and more locally in the everyday scenario of social doings and works even beyond that hallowed measure to participate democratically by voting in publically held elections.
Therefore, on the behalf of the vital need to serve the body politic by righteous mind and solid values for the free-thinking, freedom-loving people that we people of the United States of America are, may the metaphysics so invested of the place to render the deepest truths unto the self and may the politics that should relate to and connect each individual self of this nation to the democratic political process both be heard and reflected upon through this broadcasting across the Internet as it is to be presented here at "Sound and Light."
In this twofold way, it is the mission of "Sound and Light" to inspire original ideas and thinking about the nation in which we live both in its domestic and global forums and arenas as much as and even more than it is to express my own political thought; moreover, in expanding the mind through reflections on greater metaphysical truths, may the hallowed individual of our sacred American rights and writs  be more deeply realized unto the self both through political comment and metaphysical teachings.
