Corbett Report Radio 078 – Peak Water and Agenda 21 with Dr. Tim Ball
With the carbon dioxide alarmism running out of gas, the proponents of world government are looking for a new alarmist paradigm to scare the public back into line.

Rush Limbaugh and the too-little-too-late unpology
By @BGinKC You know that if Rush Limbaugh is found anywhere in the same area code as an apology he is either demanding it from someone to his left, or if he is doing the offering, it's because he has been beset by a gaggle of lawyers from Clear Channel's legal department telling him to back off and shut up for a minute, that this time he's made a mess that bluster alone won't cover.

The responsibility of the philosopher
Are philosophers morally responsible for the ideas they defend? The question arises out of the issue I discussed here on Thursday: whether infanticide can be justified on the same grounds as abortion, as had been proposed by philosophers Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva in an article in the Journal of Medical Ethics. The argument that it can be has provoked some outrage, to the point that o

The multi-dimensional private man whom Anne Stott presents in admirable detail was a cheerful
Country music and you
There's a piece at Big Think by Will Wilkinson, the long and the short of which is that country music is conservative music. On the one hand, I have an impulse, after reading it, to put together a long and earnest argument to the effect that that's got to be too narrow, diminishing the qualities of country music (liked, incidentally, by a lot of people who aren't politically conservat
Killing people while they're asleep should be no crime
Provided, that is, that the killing is painless. I take this to be a logical development from the proposal of two philosophers, as reported here and here, that after-birth abortion - what you and I know as infanticide - is sometimes justified, if the interests of the parents require it. Like the foetus, so the argument goes, a newborn baby is not yet a person (though it is a potential person); so
