Irresistibly anthropocentric.
Things were going along swimmingly until one of our distant ancestors flopped out of the sea and into the mud.Things thereafter eventually found themselves going swingingly until some more recent ancestor decided to climb down out of the trees.From that time until this, we have been living on borrowed time, walking around trying to balance a ...

Re: Small Donor
So, donating to Barack Obama’s campaign is a matter of privacy? What a bunch of hooey. What is with you people? There is nothing clandestine about supporting a candidate for election. In fact, one should be confident and in some degree proud of whom one stands up for. What is the big deal? Am I naive to suggest the disclosure of my name can ...

privacy and anonymity
donors should be able to contribute anonymously without fear of being ''outed'' due to pressures. period. since we have both a (constitutional) right and the privilege of being able to do so, this is a no brainer. what about the donors rights here?

Privacy, please!
As one of the hundreds of thousands of small donors to Barack Obama's campaign, I strenously object to the concept of posting to the web all of my personal information. A searchable database of campaign contributors that included personal information such as address, phone number and employer (without which it would be meaningless) would be a ...

The ultimate invasion of privacy
Dahlia Lithwick is exactly right. McCain-Palin, their administration and the judges they appoint will remove the choice about this most fundamental and intimate event far from the one person most affected by pregnancy - the woman. In a hierarchy of rights under their scheme, the woman becomes the least person given any consideration. Strangers, ...

Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..
... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

Re: Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias
Media bias is a perceived notion that certain press has and is pushing a viewpoint, instead of reporting news or airing programs in an objective way. That is the way I see it. Such bias often refers to media as a whole, such as a newspaper chain, or a given television or radio network, instead of individual reporters or writers of television ...

MoveOn.org, Progressive Promise, John Edwards Affair…
Looking over the MoveOn.org site, they seem to focus on their progressive promise of our country. What does that mean? Progressive Promise? Ever taken a good look at the progressive socialist movement? It starts out as the people’s party with the ideals of hope and change, the desire to save the country and the environment. And where does it end ...

Re: Harm?
It's a valid question, but consider a counter-example: It is against the law to drive drunk, because intoxicated drivers are statistically far more likely to be involved in accidents that harm or kill people, or damage property. However, if I am determined to be drunk driving, I will (and should be) jailed even if I've harmed nobody, because the ...

Do We REally Want To Talk About THAT?
Clinton and Obam talked to the Israeli PAC (both claim to refuse money from all PACs, don't they?) and Obama said that Jerusalem will never be divided, or something like that, and the next day he came out with a ''correction'' that this issue would be resolved by them, or something like that. What does that prove? That he got carried away and ...
