Your mistake was upgrading too early. I am rather glad I skipped the DVD stage entirely; I only bought two DVDs and one was a gift. You should have skipped the DVD generation, or switched to renting when they announced high definition several years ago.
Or be like my father, who bought a BetaMax recorder twenty years ago... and never upgraded:]
that's not what I meant. I meant that ideology at home didn't turn into moral action abroad, by their own standards. France and Britain hosted many lectures on the rights of man but policy towards slavery and st domingue/Haiti were decided by monetary concerns.
Yet somehow "all men are created equal" didn't stop France from imperial/colonial expansion in Africa, nor did it prevent France from trying to conquer Mexico, or the US the Phillipines.
The actual ideology was created for the purpose of grabbing power for the commercial classes from the Old Regime, not for creating an egalitarian society.
First of all, there was a very small percentage of muslims who reacted violently. Second, You are leaving out the political/cultural context. The muslims have been experienced a lot of suffering under colonial occupation. Remember the british phrase "no indians or dogs" allowed inside. The war in Iraq and the cartoons are seen as a continuation of the insult.
If the soul goes to heaven immediately at the time of death, then what's the point of a Christian burial? Why don't we just cremate everybody and save valuable real estate for mad scientists and their ilk?
Interaction ritual theory in sociology explains this; the process of burial helps the dead's group of friends and family come together (and stay together) and put the loss behind them.
This is about breach of contract, but it is also about breach of criminal code, the Texas ban on computer tampering as designed by the Texas legislature.
You're trying to make this an example to promote your libertarian beliefs, but this government action is logical for the same reason that the State prosecutes murder cases rather than the victim or his estate.
I'm the star of Captain Midnight's traveling show came to this circus many moons ago my mother's in your story books she loved a jungle king left me standing here alone inside the center ring
in a bamboo cage I crossed the raging sea like a page torn direct from history a hairy scary legendary screaming souvenir don't you come too close to me don't you come too near
(chorus)
I'm the wild man from Borneo the wild man from Borneo you come to see what you want to see you come to see but you never come to know of
the tattooed lady left the circus train left all of her pictures in the rain and I wonder if you're happy I wonder if you're free I wonder if you'll ever know the mark you left on me
The truth is that while there is not bribery or the kind of corruption you would find in a place like Sierra Leone or Russia, but there is a lot of corruption that keeps the elite 1% in control.
If someone speaks out against the government and runs for parliament, the party that has run the place for the last 50 years sues for slander/libel and takes everything he owns. The person is also banned for running for office for a few years. Opposing the ruling party is like a peasant challenging a king, even if you are rich.
The judges are not exactly bribed, but they know how they are "expected" to rule in these cases, and the ruling party is all-powerful.

Or watched the Colbert Report
nevermind, I didn't read your post when I replied the first time. yeah, you're correct, that's why my favorite book is conflict sociology by randall collins. http://www2.pfeiffer.edu/~lridener/courses/COLLINR 1.HTML

nice user number, and I liked one of your other posts today, so I'm adding you as a friend.

see esp the French Revolution
hahaha... I'm adding you as a friend
Especially at work, when I have my own cell phone + the two-way radio cell phone provided for my duties
It has been read by millions, and they still have jobs!
You forgot all of the British and French protectorates in North Africa/Middle east, occupied India, occupied Indonesia, the list goes on...
Didn't you watch the end of Easy Rider?

Or perhaps Taco was trying to tick us off, as with the errors he intentionally left in the article before it was "professionally edited."

"Wild Man From Borneo"
by Kinky Friedman
I'm the star of Captain Midnight's traveling show
came to this circus many moons ago
my mother's in your story books
she loved a jungle king
left me standing here alone
inside the center ring
in a bamboo cage I crossed the raging sea
like a page torn direct from history
a hairy scary legendary screaming souvenir
don't you come too close to me
don't you come too near
(chorus)
I'm the wild man from Borneo
the wild man from Borneo
you come to see
what you want to see
you come to see but you never come to know of
the tattooed lady left the circus train
left all of her pictures in the rain
and I wonder if you're happy
I wonder if you're free
I wonder if you'll ever know the mark you left on me
(chorus)
