Red blooded American here. Born in Little Rock AR, raised in Louisiana and Mississippi, educated (university) and hold a higher degree. What I do NOT understand why we, as Americans, are happy with an either/or government. Either you are right or you are left and those in the middle and there abouts have to either go to one extreme or the other while hoping for the best. Are there really people out there that think this is ok?! How can we get the people truly represented?? WHY ISN'T ANYONE TRYING?! I don't know where to start but someone does, so why haven't they?! This is a huge travesty and those who do not see it are both blissfully and stupidly blind. I want to hear from those who think they can defend the 'system' as is. Thank you in adv for your amens ( (I know ther there are inumerable people that agree with me but please, only answer if you have an argument for.

I can't imagine anybody being so radical right wing ever getting elected again. I think americans see how he divided us to the point of hatred around the world.

Sad thing is Hillary might do the same thing the other way......I'm a Democrat that hopes she isn't the choice by Democrats for President. Just more hatred. Bush/Hillary are one in the same...DIVIDERS!!!!

Althought some dictionaries include terror as a person who inspires fear , we generally think of it as the state of fear.My question is who decided to call for a war on terror. "The Decider"? Was it the media looking for a shorter headline, or a catcher one? Or something more intentional or devious?How can we fight a war an terror ? How can we win?What are we fightiing,?Does anyone remember when the phrase became common and why does all the media seem to use it?

An unclassified CIA report from early 2002 reported that "[North Korea] has been seeking centrifuge-related materials in large quantities to support a uranium enrichment program. It also obtained equipment suitable for use in uranium feed and withdrawal systems." Last January, U.S. Undersecretary of State John Bolton accused North Korea of continuing its nuclear weapons program, and in February members of Congress expressed concern to the president about North Korea's uranium enrichment program. According to the New Yorker Magazine, the CIA delivered a secret report to top Bush administration officials in June, which found that Pakistan had provided centrifuge technology to North Korea.Centrifuges are essential in enriching uranium. A.Q. Khan, known as the father of the Pakistani nuclear bombhas reportedly visited North Korea frequently in the last decade officially with the permission of USA's friend Musharraf.
Now Bush is abusing N.K while praising Pakistan and Musharraf

Everybody keeps thinking terrorists will get ahold of another plane and crash it again - killing people... Sad to say, but what if 10 terrorist got ahold of 10 HUM-VEE's and mowed down people at a 4th of July parade? OR 10 terrorists strongarmed their way into a sports event and unloaded on people using automatic machine guns...Or 3 terrorists each strongarmed their way into like 20 American elementary schools killing all with machine guns.. These are terribel scenarios, and what is the government doing to protect us? Can you think of any plots?

IT IS A QUESTION!!!!

ANTI-ILLEGAL ALIEN COMMERCIAL LAUNCHES IN CALIFORNIA
Ad Featuring Illegal Aliens Will Air Statewide

Los Angeles, CA ­ Art Olivier¹s campaign for governor will release their first television advertisement this 2006 election year. The ad, which highlights the illegal alien marches, debuts this Friday in Bakersfield, Santa Rosa, and the Central Valley. The advertisement, which also presents a Mexican flag raised over an upside down American flag, will roll out in the Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Sacramento, Redding, Fresno, Palm Springs, San Diego, and Los Angeles markets beginning Monday October 9th.

Art Olivier, who began campaigning back in January, has virtually been unnoticed in the mainstream media. However talk radio has embraced Olivier and his concerns regarding our open borders and the illegal invasion. Thanks to the generous donations from the listeners of talk radio, Olivier is now able to enter the television airwaves.

Although Art Olivier¹s campaign contacted all the major participants and hosts of the October 7th Gubernatorial debate, Olivier was denied an invitation. Therefore the television ad titled ³Elect Art² will offer voters an alternative position regarding illegal immigration which differs from the two main party candidates.

Mark Foley, in the 90's proposed an amendment that would have revoked the citizenship of those born in the US, but with illegal parents.

You see, if Cong. Foly had molested THOSE kids, Mexico would have prosecuted (as the children are no longer Americans), and he would have won, because Mexican legal systems stink!

If that's what you want, then vote Democrat. As a matter of fact, I will go so far as to guarantee that there will NOT be another major terrorist attack on American soil as long as Bush is in office. Yes, I know that 9 /11 took place while Bush was in office, but he only had 8 months to work on the problem while Clinton had 8 years plus atleast 3 blown ( no pun intended ) opportunities to haul in bin Laden. Big difference. If you wish to dispute me on this issue, then email me and we will arrange to make a little wager. I'll bet none of you wimpy Dems / liberals will take me up on this. Note: Don't bother emailing me unless you are willing to place a bet and then follow through on that bet, or if you have no way for me to contact you once you have emailed me.

What are our options? We really don't have any dialogue with North Korea and economic sanctions just hurt the people that are trapped by their government. We could take him out and remove some of the pressure on our troops in Iraq. At least this time Bush would have an excuse with regard to weapons of mass destruction.

Since one of the countries in the axis of evil now has nuclear weapons, should the US without delay unleash a torrent of military destruction on that country? It appears diplomatic efforts are useless. What are your thoughts?

North Korea has a hard attitude that they will do as they please not understanding that they have an obligation to the world or our planet/ The UN is hopeless and we need some type of interference from outside sources. I Hope this can have a peaceful resolution because everyones ignorance and power craze is killing our planet and no one respects anything.......

Is there any difference between "teleological theories" and "Consequentialism (consequential theories)" ?

The defenitions (Wikipedia):
* Teleological ethics refers to ethical propositions which are aimed at a certain "end" (telos in Greek, hence "teleology".)
* Consequentialism refers to those moral theories that hold that the consequences of a particular action [form the basis for any valid moral judgment about that action]. Thus, on a consequentialist account, a morally right action is an action which produces good consequences.

Varieties of both consequentialism & teleological theories are: utilitarianism and "ethical egoism".

I don't understand the difference between them.
