Tulsi v Hillary... Godzilla v Destroyah

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 9 seconds ago
*Although... she's not wrong about the personification of the rot* Not everyone wishes Hillary would go away-- or at least go silent until after the election-- but everyone I know does. This blog has been a bastion of anti-Tulsi sentiment for at least 6 years, when she started serving in Congress. And it really has been a go-to-spot for all Tulsi's history long before she was known on the national stage. Take a look. I had a nice meeting with her before she declared she was running and she answered all my questions and then asked me to stop writing about her so negatively while she ... more »

On Kant’s Categorical Imperative

Unknown at The Verma Report - 1 hour ago
Immanuel Kant has argued for only one categorical imperative which is best known by this formulation: “Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law.” The Kantian categorical imperative is a product of reason alone. Kant understood reason as the faculty that discerns and dictates universal laws. He posits that if reason dictates a moral law, then that law will be capable of being universalized—it would necessarily dictate that you must act according to the universal law, or in accordance to the maxims that you can univ... more »

In his essay on Walking, Thoreau wonders about the origin of that delicious word saunter. He suggests that it is derived from idle people who roved about Europe during the Middle Ages asking for alms, under pretense of going a la Sainte Terre, that is, to the Holy Land.
