quit whining and vote libertarian or constitution... the very definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The rebulicans are just the lesser of two evils.
I'm still of the school of thought that the holocaust was a fabrication by the jew media to create isreal which would cause us years of hostility with the oil rich middle east. /sarcasm
my liberal professor made me write a paper defending the idea that the American Dream was still alive in America. He argued that the American Dream did not apply to minorities. Well I could post my paper but that would take it too far.
I feel bad for Tony Blair. He has to carry himself as an internationalist, which means he has to support Annan. He needs out and I know Blair knows it.
Im not agaisnt this "Under God" stuff, but this isn't one of those traditions that have been around since the time of our founding. This line was put in the pledge to contrast atheistic communism. But seariously folks, there are a lot of things we need to perserve and take back... this is at the bottom of my list. Quit whinning about this until something acutally happens. I just don't want the court taking it out. If our congress did it I would have no problem.
Once these vietnam era nutballs retire, I think you will see a upturn in the number of conservatives on campus. As a college student, I can tell you that most professors look at everything through the premice of the vietnam and civil rights debates of that time.
" observation of the physical universe, or nature, is the sole method of deriving knowledge, including codes of human behavior."
I tend to agree with this statement. I am not a professed humanist rather an objectivist. I think we should see things for what they are, not in relation to ancient scripture which derives primarily from oral history and is subject to the opinions and beliefs of men. If you read the both the old and new testament I think it is irrational to believe it is pristinely divine and therefore should not be taken verbatum.
