[bigjoesaddle]

I'm listening to Rush, so I made a thread....the rest is history!

If judges can mandate spending levels, they are mandating taxes.

Most everything that can be said immediately has been said after the past week of everybody saying what needed to be said. However, the issue is major and will be the defining point for future issues of the State. A period of sober reflection is beginning, and that will be followed by revision to academic social and political theory.

There has been talk of biopolitics in the past few years, the link between totalitarianism and biopolitics. We can now talk of thanatopolitics and the camp.

From what I've read, during the original hearing before Judge Greer in this case the Schindlers were asked something like the following: "If Terri became diabetic (which apparently is common for people in her condition) and amputations became necessary, would you still want to keep her on "life support?" The Schindlers answered "Yes." This answer by the Schindlers was used by some posters to illustrate that the Schindlers are somehow sick individuals, and it undermined their credibility. I just had a problem with that line of resoning. I didn't object to these posts at the time, but the more I think about it I fail to see how the Schindlers' position is immoral or "sick."

Indeed. Thanks.

Hey I think Rush was talking to you- he said that for every listener that says "i'm not listening til he changes the subject" there are 5 more that come to the show because of the topic. He also said that you are free to change the radio dial, but judging by what else is out there, you'll be back sooner than you thought. LOL!

Not flaming you- just getting a kick out of Rush today.

See my post #82.

Thanks for your two cents, Muhammed.

Thanks for the info, in all the stuff posted I somehow missed that. I appreciate it.

"I have always had a theory that the reason Pro-Abortion Libs fought tooth and nail for animals is to cover the guilt of killing babies."

There are hidden contradictions in the minds of people who "love Nature" while deploring the "artificialities" with which "Man has spoiled 'Nature.'" The obvious contradiction lies in their choice of words, which imply that Man and his artifacts are not part of "Nature" -- but beavers and their dams are. But the contradictions go deeper than this prima-facie absurdity. In declaring his love for a beaver dam (erected by beavers for beavers' purposes) and his hatred for dams erected by men (for the purposes of men) the "naturist" reveals his hatred for his own race -- i.e., his own self hatred.
In the case of "Naturists" such self-hatred is understandable; they are such a sorry lot. But hatred is too strong an emotion to feel toward them; pity and contempt are the most they rate.
As for me, willy-nilly I am a man, not a beaver, and H. sapiens is the only race I have or can have. Fortunately for me, I like being part of a race made up of men and women -- it strikes me as a fine arrangement and perfectly "natural." ROBERT HEINLEIN

Rush keeps saying the Congress dictates the jurisdiction of the courts, according to Article III. I can't find that in the Article.

[olde north church]

Hmmm, I've always found just the opposite.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Your welcome, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

[RightWhale]

I listened to Rush at first, then found the show not even entertaining and quit listening for several years, but Rush has boned up on theory and is saying the right things again on a much deeper level, so I am listening again.

Thanks to you and the many others who contributed to these threads this week.

Maybe the people who want Terri dead could have their own thread.
It could be named "necrophilia" as this is the only thing I can think of people that want an innocent person murdered.

[olde north church]

His whole "euphoric starvation" schtick is getting pretty lame. It presupposes the person who is starving is aware of surroundings.

[olde north church]

BTW, I find it personally repulsive to be defined as wanting her or wishing her dead. I would have preferred that nature simply being able to take it's course, 15 years ago.

[sola_fide]

I think I responded to one of your earlier posts, so just let me state from the record that I don't define you as wanting her to die. I don't think such characterizations are helpful. I apologize if anything I may have said led you to believe otherwise.
