What are the Topics?

Topics 4 Another Day is dedicated to the growth and development of the individual. If a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, then a group of people or community are only as strong as the least among them. This is why Topics 4 Another Day has set itself to educate the individual to help them grow to a position of strength. Not for power’s sake, but for the responsibility of continuing the effort, teaching and educating of those around them and after them. As each person functions as a quasar, endeavoring to be the brightest object in their universe, they will illuminate the space around them allowing others to become privy to the truth and granting them occasion to operate within that truth. A truth that Frederic Bastiat expresses most precisely in his 1850 work “The Law.” A recommended reading for all quasars.

“We hold from God the gift which includes all others. This gift is life – physical, intellectual, and moral life.

But life cannot maintain itself alone. The Creator of life has entrusted us with the responsibility of preserving, developing, and perfecting it. In order that we may accomplish this, He has provided us with a collection of marvelous faculties. And He has put us in the midst of a variety of natural resources. By the application of our faculties to these natural resources we convert them into products, and use them. This process is necessary in order that life may run its appointed course.

Life, faculties, production – in other words, individuality, liberty, property – this is man. And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it.

Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.”

We first believe in God, the Creator and establisher of our life, individuality, faculties, abilities, and therefore, property. All emits from this fundamental axiom. When we come to the realization that respect is given not in response to mere humanity, but to the Creator of humanity, because He created humanity in His own image, then the necessity of liberty becomes obvious. Not to say that all who participate in our organization and its activities must be rigorously religious, but a respect for that Judeo-Christian crux that was and remains the rebar encased in the foundations of western civilization and proven in the very Declaration of Independence by which this nation of the United States of America was founded, is acknowledged.

We support the nuclear family in all facets of existence. Deeming it a cornerstone to civility that originates on a personal level then burgeons throughout the four corners of a community and society. Many of our communal woes can be traced back to a breakdown in the family unit. Rebuilding, reinforcing, and maintaining a strong family structure is key to the sustainability of the great body of our society. For a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Therefore, fathers in the home are a crucial must. The conditions of a two-parent household comprised of both the father and the mother are undeniably imperative to the wellbeing of children. Encouraging couples to formulate a strong bond between themselves first, generates the best possible environment in which to raise their children, who will be the adults of the future. Reestablishing a new family culture that should perpetuate for generations, if not into perpetuity is one of the purposes of the Large Quasar Group.

Through this sound family structure education must also be heavily stressed. The value of our young people developing exceptional math, reading, and science skills should be unparalleled. These two traits of family and education, galvanized by a strong work ethic, commitment, and self-responsibility are the skeletal framework by which a viable, civil and more prosperous society is formed.

A rejection of victimhood and dependency are also on the table. As individuals, who recognize our God given worth and ability, along with those of others, we cannot help but function within a realm of autonomy, which is requisite to a free society. We cannot ignore the collective force, yet we do not pursue the collective at the neglect of the individual who makes up this group. Each member must do their part to uphold the whole, but this is not done through a mob style mindset, but by each person pursuing his own goals through just means: the honoring of life, liberty, and property. When free and voluntary exchange is allowed to take place, the great body of the people benefit as illustrated by Adam Smith’s use of the invisible hand.

Topics 4 Another Day does not exist to control or dictate the lives of any. We are here to inform, equip, and educate those desiring to invest in their human capital by seeking such tools that they may be better, be more, and be a quasar in their universe, illuminating the space around them.

“And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works.”
