They are there to protect us against ourselves
[snip] they inscribe a well-known and ancient protection against human nature
That's purely a Christian concept, called Original Sin. Means we are born sinners and must take action (pray, etc...) to become better people. It's diametically opposed to contemporary liberal thinking.
Also remember, the history you deride has been given to you by those whose moral code was threatened by rules (religious or otherwise) governing decency. Those are the very people Osama is trying to kill. His religion promises heavenly rewards to rid the world of non-believers.
This whole affair is nothing more than a secular society grappling with the implications of rule through punishment systems. It's all stick...all the time.
The challenge comes when people believe strongly that death is only a gateway to a better world. For those people, you must identify the guilty based on their belief system and punish them by delaying their entrance into heaven. Part of that treatment, in order to be punishment, must include sadistic and inhuman methods of torture to make the sentence an effective deterrent. In addition, when people rely only on secular values, there must be laws proscribing pre-emptive punishments to prevent so-called suicide attacks. Ergo, you cannot punish the dead.
Regardless of intent, punishment will gradually become so severe that torture will seem appropriate for even minor crimes. Look at the trends - three strikes, federal guidelines, sentence minimums, preponderance of double jeopardy. Today, it's legalized search and seizure and juvenille death penalty (many argue for it). Tomorrow, jail time for civil offences, such as copyright infringement and hate speech.
In the long run, torture and death will be proved ineffective against religious fanatics. Their belief system praises pain and suffering as a type of martyrdom.
This is nothing that cannot be found in history books of early Christians tortured and imprisoned by the Romans.
First, people will live in a house, provided they can make the payment, regardless of appraised value. If my home's value halved tomorrow, I would ride it out. Most people would. I love my home. I would only worry if I had to move (change job, etc...).
Second, if I cannot afford to move (due to skyrocking prices or depressed market) I will improve the house I have rather than purchase. I love my home and would only worrry if I had to move (change jobs, etc...)
See the pattern. I don't love my Dell stock. Or Citigroup. Or whatever hot stock of the day is. I love the returns.
Home prices generally only rise. They may only rise a little or even not at all, but they almost never fall. There are only a few instances of home prices falling in the last forty or fify years (SoCo / Texas early 1990's). Even that bubble was due to S&L fraud (e.g. whitewater).
Comparing stocks to residental real estate is not appropriate. When the economy tanked to 1931 levels, three out four people still HAD jobs. Their homes provided shelter and refuge their stocks could not.
I do agree with you that the savings rate in America is anemic and must change. However, the discussion of revising the tax system to be more capital friendly is beyond this topic.
Your truth is relativistic argument notwithstanding, wiki is just plain wrong on some topics. When you cannot get right the birth and death dates of people you might want to avoid the "fact" business. Try to confuse facts with opinion, it's a sign you're affected by the propaganda.
Overall it's highly overrated, but worth the price.
1. no axes to grind
2. committment to accuracy
3. no conflicting interests
4. credentials
Oh, and btw, using wikipedia as "source" is like saying something is true because your brother-in-law says it is (and he's a dr/atty/chemist/nobel laureate/cereal box prize winner/etc....). Not credible.
It's not an encylopedia, it's a editorial page on a multitude of subjects.
Not trying to goad anyone, just making an observation.
I heard Burt Rutan built a spaceship capable of outperfoming the shuttle using change stolen from the vending machines at JPL.
Oh wait, that's really the truth.
This would mean one thing only. The death of investment into new drugs.
Stocks of drug companies would drop. Startups with big R&D allocations would be hit hardest. Investors in these companies would take a very large loss. Losing money means no investment money could be raised for the future. Once bitten, twice shy....
How do you expect companies to fund new research? Grants? Hah. That is a fraction of the money required. Goverment? Most European countries fund drug development with almost no effective results.
Be very careful what you wish for. You may get it.
"However, these founding fathers were actually Deists."
Bzzzt. Factually incorrect. Numerous sources debunked that myth years ago. See the highly referenced work of Michael Novak, "On two wings"
Back of the line for you , youngster.
Quoted from Michael Novak:
The leaders of the American Revolution were not, like the leaders of the French revolution, secularists. They did not set out to erase religion. Quite the opposite." Michael Novak points out in this brilliant book about the birth of the American idea that the very first act of the Continental Congress in September, 1774, was to pray to Divine Providence for insight on how to respond to news of the British bombardment of Boston. In setting a course for republican self-government, the founders not only believed that they were acting reasonably but that they were carrying out God's commandment. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God."
Even your venerable "athiest" Jefferson was ONE PERSON, of a large group, most much more religious than he. Somehow, HIS SINGULAR voice is used, as if he was the sole founder of our country.
I don't care how you believe, just don't try to pervert how our founding fathers did. It's old mythos and all but totally factually debunked.
At least expect M$ to pursue their tried and true strategy in the smart phone market;
1. Create 'bugs' that prevent competitors from integrating with Windows.
2. Let your grandmother sync her phone to outlook.
3. Provide competitors with incorrect outdated documentation months after product release.
4. Change API and not change documentation.
5. Use undocumented functions for M$ programs.
6. Detect competitive programs and crash them.
7. Goto step 1
Actually risk-based return is intrinsic to property ownership.
It's simple in action - you cannot force me to sell at your price.
I alone make the final determination of the value of my property and may not be made to sell. This right is why eminent domain impinges on property rights. It forces you to sell.
And scarcity is not what you think it means. There is only one Microsoft Windows and one Firefox. There may be COPIES, but that does not change the scarcity of the original.
Despite all the hand wringing on/. There is a real issue here that does not get any coverage.
Most of the developing world (including China) is becoming aware that the value of their IT industry is tied directly to enforcement (and support of) copyrights and patents.
Without protection for IP, including patents, the value of software falls to zero, which many here argue in favor of.
However, you cannot build and sustain capital investment if you cannot provide a return on said investment. Without protecting the investors' _right_ to a risk-based return (this is the essence of property rights), you will never build anything beyond a sub-poverty society.
If you fail to protect the inventor, why should you expect them to thrive?
"Everyday it becomes more apparent that the growing success of Free Software threatens established proprietary software and media interests. These interests will continue to see our freedoms as threats, and we fully expect, and are preparing for, further challenges to our community."
I'm finished. The media companies can keep their stupid content.
The music is complete crap, all sounds the same. All the movies are perfect little shitty clones of something else. Every movie I see is a fucking remake of something else. Nothing original or creative. Even most of the books they are based on are terrible.
The media companies are all trying to sell "alternative", and "rebel" as lifestyles. THEY are the establishment creating little metal cripples dependant on the tripe they push.
I cancelled my directtv and told my kids no more TV or movies. Let them think, read and talk instead.
Don't fight it, just look away.
Read a book, talk to a friend. Ride a bike. Paint.
Do something else. It's more powerful than any tools they have.

This discovery clearly implies the fetus is an independent organism providing a symbiotic benefit to its host.
Much like the bacteria in our intestines, it provides some benefit to the greater organism. Ergo, it's a separate and distinct living entity and it's species is, by definition, HUMAN.
And if it's species is human, it MUST be given HUMAN RIGHTS, including, but not limited to, the right to life.

14 year old with child = very very bad
14 year old with child and without education = criminal
See how those terrible old religions seek to harm children by forcing them to become good citizens. It's a travesty.

Yea, that seems very realistic. A giant company increasing spending because of a moral committment.
