Title:
Is the Foundation True?
|
Is The Foundation True?
True: Level, Plumb, Straight, Solid.
Foundation: That which supports, and carries the weight of the rest of the structure.
A foundation can be as simple as your feet, a chair, the tires on your car, and as complex as the Earth itself. We rarely think about this, we just accept the support. However, should you think about this, the one thing we would agree on is, the foundation needs to be true…based on the above definition.
I am tackling an extremely complex issue here, and I hope you will indulge me because this information is necessary for the secure structure of all life on Earth.
There is a famous poem, saying, story, which demonstrates my point as well as it can be done. That is if we carry its lesson to everything, we deal with.
“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost. For the want of the shoe, the horse was lost. For the want of the horse, the rider was lost. For the want of the rider, the battle was lost. For the want of the battle, the war was lost”.
Cause and effect, and they are applicable to every thing.
It is vital when building any structure, every effort be made to insure that the foundation is true. For if, it is not, not all of the adjustments in the world will make the structure true. The more untrue the structure, the shorter the time it shall endure.
As you read this, it should be easy to apply these thoughts to buildings, and see the logic implied. However, these rules apply to all structures, social, economic, religious…all structures.
All right, we now have some rules of construction, and I hope their validity is apparent. Why? Because it is time to build a structure, and I hope, its flaws are blatantly apparent.
We start with plans that can only be defined as divine in nature. These plans are for a structure, as no structure ever built, in all the history of humankind. I believe a structure so unique should have a name, so I will be presumptuous, and call it “America”. I hope this meets with your approval.
The architect, it turns out, is a member of the roofers guild, a group included in the top ten percent of the society. From the beginning, there is a problem, for the roofers are claiming they have the right to run the job. “Anytime any group or organization assumes a disproportionate level of influence, the effort becomes skewed to favor their agenda”. In this case, the structure shall, inadvertently, end up flawed. Let us view the factors of these results.
As this structure develops, it becomes apparent that 12% of the foundation, (35,000,000, American foundation blocks), are free floating and unattached. Another ten percent of the foundation is held in place by mortar, which does not meet specifications. This produces an increasing burden on the rest of the foundation.
Furthermore, the plans call for a meager 10% of the total materials, to be used for the building of the structure, below the roof. This assigns 90% of the total materials of the design, for the construction of the roof. What this will produce is a build with 90% percent of the occupants, sheltered by 10% percent of the structure. Conversely, the 10% of the occupants living in the loft are sheltered by 90% of the materials (in the roof) of the structure.
Once this structure is complete, it is recognized as one of the crowning achievements of humankind. The world modifies its structure, and adds many of the features of this building. The concept was beyond anything previously built, and its residents accept this building, based upon its conceptualization, and ignore its true form.
You are living in this structure, and it is time to view the truths of construction, which were not followed. Ask yourself, “Would you buy a home designed with 90% of its material placed in the roof? Most of us know a contractor, builder, carpenter so take the time to ask them. No honorable Contractor would agree to build such a structure (his insurance would cancel him), and would tell you, “It cannot stand”. Cause and effect, logic, these seem to be tools no longer used by our leaders, and it is our responsibility to correct this tendency.
All structures, physical, social, economic, religious, all structures are controlled by these laws of construction. None will stand if they are ignored.
In the structure of, “America” every resident was granted a hammer, and it is their right (no, their responsibility, to use this tool to correct flaws of construction. Do not get lost in the concept, for it is our job to monitor the reality of construction. We are the building inspectors, and it is okay to demand it be set TRUE.
