When something old becomes ugly, it is good for business.

The Occam' razor can only cut indeed.

They create much like other inventors.

Any dedicated PTSD specialist, I'm convinced, would love to be given the opportunity to test her/his theories on Khadr.

I would rather say boomers and their children are both narcissistic to a point where they are too eager to look at themselves through flashy mirrors, like MySpace, to go hide themselves behind a polling booth.

Christianity says don't play with life like if could become less fragile, you may well make things worst in the long run. Christianity seems to be looking at the big picture, and science bedevils by details.

As an Italian reflecting on the Roman Empire, Machiavelli would have applauded at hockey as a game to be used by despots to buy out voters.

When someone wakes up from a nightmare he was making, he is escaping the true reality for a more comforting one.

You seem interested by Khadr mostly because you can use him as a weapon to attack Harper!

One needs a sound moral theory before writing "better".

Evolution is futile as long as life remains fragile.

You have to understand why the romanticism of the 19th century was a legitimate response to the rationalism of the 18th century.

To fight against this injustice, there should be a right to "laziness" (i.e. resting) and to fight against injustices done via environmental degradation, there should be a universal fundamental duty to be lazy (resting). Welfare recipients are not wasting their lives; they are sparing them for the greater benefit of all life on Earth.

Doctors need empathy as well as good memories.

Time is not a good measuring rod.

To me, the crux of the matter is that people have been unfairly brainwashed to think that the market is simpler and more powerful than political negotiations/deliberations.

That is what I said.

Heads decide of what is fit.

Rationalists cannot be atheists because nothing can be divided (ratio) by zero.

The more complex a system, the more incentives reasonable people need to have to get involved.

If one wants to separate reason from faith, Kant is still the man he has to beat. http://www.nutters.org/docs/kant-sap

To me, the fatal NDP's flaw, like the one in most of old Left-wing movements, is to believe that putting people to work, far from making them lethargic, will politicize them.
