He's just doing what just about every dictator does. Build up a foreign boogey man as a means to galvanize whatever support he can and distract them from the bs he's trying to pull off at home. The tactic is even referenced when getting the SM on Kas...  [Read More]

Given how many/most politicians appear to love incumbency, the only real alternative we have is to keep enough pressure on them to do the correct thing. Throwing the bums out of office or starting a revolution are really the only means of changing th...  [Read More]

Assuming for the sake of argument you could round these people up, it still looks like you might have to rewrite the laws before you can proceed to redraw the lines. If you jettison the requirements for minority and majority districts, then it seems...  [Read More]

Yeah, but who do you REALLY trust to be able to do that? Otherwise, you don't really need to have any committee. Just get the two (or more) parties into a room w/a dartboard (or any random chance type device) and let them have at it, with all agreein...  [Read More]

Finding out what she did look like underneath was scary, however. Wasn't too thrilled myself, either. She looked better w/the veil than w/o. Yeah, because she's a Jedi. Who in their right mind used anyone other than Juhani, Jolee, or Bastila? We...  [Read More]

While I antipcate the gun's possiblity, the thing that differnates us from the gun is that the gun does not know anything at all, while we humans do. Hence, that makes us a bit interesting. I don't disagree that we "seem" to know somethin...  [Read More]

But what causes people to make those choices? Is it due to the fact that they are "free"? Or is it because they are controlled by other factors, like the enviroment, how they are raised, what they are told is right and wrong, your genetic i...  [Read More]

Frankly, I rather doubt that science will ever to be able to prove determinism. It makes for nice parlor scenarios, but doesn't seem realistic. What we do know is that people are confronted by choices daily and how they respond is a reflection of the...  [Read More]

Question, though, JMAC, is whether it sucks b/c it's consistently incorrect in its reporting or b/c its "slant/ideology" isn't in alignment w/its critics? I've noticed this tendency, as has Prime, that many of us label sources as crappy w/o...  [Read More]

If one doesn't have the ability to believe and attempt to show with logic that their morals are correct, then there is no point in morality. Problem here, though, isn't whether people believe that they can develop a sense of morals steeped in their...  [Read More]
