Philosophy - September 2006

I am so tired of hearing people complain about how the Shelby County rabies officers have abused power. I can see not wanting someone to peek in the windows of my house, but I hope everyone realizes that for years, the utility companies have been letting themselves into your back yards uninvited to read your meters. I see no problem with a rabies officer doing the same. All pets are required to be vaccinated - not just the free-roaming ones.

I, for one, am glad Shelby County has finally taken some initiative to protect our animals and humans. In my area, I have seen too many uncared-for animals roaming around, and I seriously doubt their owners bother to have them vaccinated. It saddens me when a pet has the misfortune to be chosen by a human who doesn't care enough to vaccinate, spay or neuter, properly house and adequately feed his pets. If all you have to offer an animal is a bowl of water and a rope tied to a tree, please get a fern instead.

KFC did not supply me anything till date. Then KFC called me and said they will deliver it in October. I said if your person arrives for delivery I will send it back because you are no longer needed. I have already eaten from McDonalds and in my future orders I will use another competitor to order food, you are too late and I dont need your food now and I wont pay for it even if you come i will send you back.

Am I right or wrong?

Here is my argument. This argument shows that if there is universal cause and effect, then we shouldn't punish criminals.

1.I committed a crime yesterday. (Assumption of a past action)
2.All events are the results of preceding events (Assumption: Universal cause and effect)
3.All preceding events are the results of events that preceded them (From 2)
4.Events are the result of events from the distant past (From 2 and 3)
5.The crime I committed yesterday was an event that was a result of events from the distant past before my existence (From 1 and 4)
6.It was never in my power to change events in the distant past before my existence (Assumption: Fixed past)
7.It was never in my power to avoid committing a crime yesterday. (From 5 and 6)
8.I should only be punished for events that I have the power to avoid committing (Assumption: Justice)
9.I shouldn’t be punished for the crime I committed yesterday. (From 7 and 8)

That value and power are given to symbols and money by faith. If you believe it has value or power it does, at least to you alone.

would you consider grace if you found a 20 on the side of the street and if you didn't find that 20 you couldn't afford to buy baby's food for your baby or would you say that's luck? How would you define the difference between grace and luck?
