"The Ethics of Emergencies"
*"The Ethics of Emergencies"* "In the normal conditions of existence, man has to choose his goals, project them in time, pursue them and achieve them by his own effort. He cannot do it if his goals are at the mercy of and must be sacrificed to any misfortune happening to others. He cannot live his life by the guidance of rules applicable only to conditions under which human survival is impossible. The principle that one should help men in an emergency cannot be extended to regard all human suffering as an emergency and to turn the misfortune of some into a first mortgage on the li... more »
"Compulsive Apologies: The Feeling Underneath"
*"Compulsive Apologies: The Feeling Underneath"* by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM "Apologizing chronically can be a sign that you are not feeling that you have much self worth. Many people suffer with the tendency to apologize all the time, chronically, for everything. On the one hand, apologizing is a social convention that keeps interactions between people polite, and in that way it can be very helpful. On the other hand, if we find ourselves apologizing for everything, it might be time to look at why we feel compelled to say “I’m sorry” so often. Ultimately, saying you’re sorry is ... more »

"Ironic, Isn't It?"
"In a universe devoid of life, any life at all would be immensely meaningful. We ARE that meaning. "And what we see, "says the poet Mary Oliver, "is the world that cannot cherish us, but which we cherish." As though life itself is the great, universal, unrequited love of all time. But there is even more to this. Deep mystery. We are the universe aware of itself. We let the miracle get lost in distractions. On a planet so rich with living companions, much of humanity sentences itself to solitary confinement. Late at night, I used to lie in my boat listening to radio calls from ships... more »

Dylan Wins Nobel, Fights Ensue-- We Think It's Good News And Celebrate Him
*by Denise Sullivan* The Thursday morning announcement that Bob Dylan has won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature seems to have struck a raw nerve among (mostly) male novelists and some crabby millennials on social media who were intent on disputing the 75-year-old American songwriter's worthiness of the honor. We wish to respond by saying they are entirely wrong: Dylan is an extraordinary figure. He's withstood serving as a cultural weathervane for over 50 years while flourishing as a writer. As a literary artist, we will never again see his likes in our lifetimes. That we lived ... more »

Moral Necessity and the NAACP Charter Moratorium, Part 1

Rather than accepting the possibility that NAACP members have read and heard about too many child abuse cases at "no excuses" charters to remain silent any longer, Mr. Pryor claims the problem is simply a matter of NAACP delegates suffering from an o... more »

While Flint Kids Are Poisoned by Lead, Valeant Charges $27,000 for the Leading Treatment
*Valeant, a predatory drug company hoping to profit from the growth market in lead poisoning. A name worth remembering (source).* *by Gaius Publius* Another tale of price-gouging by the out-of-control andn predatory pharmaceutical industry. This time, the perp is a company called Valeant (get it? brave, strong, noble; princely) and the drug is the leading treatment (because almost no competition) for lead poisoning, a drug called Calcium EDTA. The amount of gouging is huge. Valeant bought the drug though an acquisition (which means none of their money went into its development), ... more »
WHERE THE PISA GAPS ARE: A scam concerning immigrant kids!
*FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2016Part 4—Big star hides the facts:* In the aggregate, American kids didn't rock the world on the 2012 PISA. In the aggregate, American students scored less well than their peers from many comparable nations. That was especially true on the PISA math test. Perhaps for these reasons, you tend to hear more about the PISA's math test than about its reading and science tests. Perhaps for similar reasons, you rarely hear about results from the 2011 TIMSS at all. (On the TIMSS and the PIRLS, American students scored much better as compared to the rest of the world.... more »

Torn between Question Time and Newsnight
Imagine being torn between watching Question Time BBC 1 and Newsnight BBC 2 ! Oh the anguish. As if the morbid fascination of Katie Razzall’s ‘half-the-story’ film about a Syrian refugee family’s suffering in Newcastle wasn’t compelling enough, the equally morbid, almost rubber-necked compulsion to watch Emily Thornberry crash and burn on Q.T. proved irresistible.

Was Tianjin Explosion In China Caused By A Mini Nuke?
The 2015 Tianjin explosion in China was not a result of chemical fire as was officially reported. There is evidence China’s largest and deadliest chemical accident which killed over 170 people last year at a container storage station in the port of Tianjin was caused by a mini nuclear bomb. The cause of the blast was initially blamed on firecrackers going off in the vicinity and was later changed to faulty explosives stored at a chemical factory. After a long period of media censorship and a thorough investigation, Chinese officials determined the cause of the explosions to be an ... more »

Allawi Iraq’s Absent Prime Minister
Interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi took power in June 2004 as the Coalition Provisional Authority closed up shop. He had the supportof both the United States and the United Nations envoy Lakhdar Brahimi. The Americans quickly found several issues with the new premier. One of them was Allawi’s constant trips outside of the country. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice for example, notedthat the prime minister was always flying around the region, and could not always be contacted. Rice asked, “Are we worried that Allawi is spending ten to eleven days [a month] outside the coun... more »

Google's "Fact Check" is a pathetic effort to distort the news
Today, Google News started to use a new label under some articles, "Fact Check", see articles about this new "feature". Some websites helpfully, frankly, and realistically explain that this "feature" was introduced in order to label Donald Trump a liar and to help to spread the "progressive" ideology. Google claims to believe to be able to decide which articles are true and trustworthy. And the company must think that the users of Google are buying that. Can you design an algorithm that determines whether a newly constructed sentence describing the recent events (or latest scientif... more »

There are those who believe that engaging in "what might have been" speculation is wasted energy. But Linda McQuaig does precisely that in today's *Toronto Star*. Doug Peters -- the former chief economist for the TD Bank and former Liberal cabinet minister -- died last week. Peters grew up in Brandon, Manitoba during the Great Depression. That experience -- and the training he received on the way to getting a PhD in finance from the University of Pennsylvania -- made him a committed Keynesian. But it was Peters misfortune to be at the the cabinet table when Milton Friedman was all... more »
Nuclear Poker Game Could End In Nuclear War
The world is closer today to a nuclear war between the big powers than ever before, more so than during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. The third and final world war could be started to save Al-Qaeda and destroy the world in the process. The U.S. is now fighting on behalf of Al-Qaeda in Syria after initiating a global war on (of) terror because of the terrorist group. The Russians see this as a precursor to the start of world war 3 after watching all manner of strange behaviour from the west. Russia and U.S. are closer to world war 3 than ever before.

Ben Carson Strikes Fear Into The Heart Of Every Republican
Progressivism is a promise made in exchange for power.. As was communism and fascism.

The only comparable in our society is the Islamic playbook which we are now suffering through. That one should actually make common cause with the other is a paean to delusion. It can never end well.

The attractiveness of a round craft is arguable in terms of aerodynamics and the mere fact so much was done experimentally tells us that this was not misplaced.
