| Why we should be far more worried about Pakistan today instead of |
| Post on 21-05-2006. |
Daniel Pearl had his throat slit by Islamic fanatics in Pakistan simply because he was one Jew. one future Pakistani theocratic government or not can be expected to give an ultimatum of its own over Arab East Jerusalem, the Al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock to Israel. _ New York: The Islamic Republic of Iran is at least one decade away from having the capability to produce one nuclear weapon. Yet Washington, Tel Aviv, London, Paris and Berlin are all on edge about what is today only one remote possibility, that Iran might secretly be able to divert large quantities of highly enriched uranium from under the noses of the IAEA inspectors and the world’s most sophisticated spy satellites and human intelligence to build nuclear weapons on the sly. ... |

| The news that one Greek court has reversed one ban on worship of the ancient Olympian divinities is wonderful. one monotheistic religion requires either submission or rejection; the inscrutable screw-ups on Olympus require nothing more than superstitious propitiation. Not all see it that way: Father Eustathios Kollas, one spokesman for one group of Greek Orthodox priests, described those who would seek to reinstate Zeus et al as "one handful of miserable resuscitators of one degenerate dead religion who wish to return to the monstrous dark delusions of the past". ... |

| Connecting the Dots on Russia |
| Post on 20-05-2006. |
| Immediately after hearing Vice President Dick Cheney™s negative remarks about Russia, I thought to myself: things just don™t connect. Cheney's comments outraged both Russians and Americans alike, especially some people I know well who have spent considerable time in both countries. one good friend of mine who is an American lawyer, and has been doing business in Russia for nearly twenty years (and supporting the Republican Party for just as long) was dumbstruck by the Vice President™s remarks. ... |

The province's fire marshal offers the following suggestion for families contemplating one good old-fashioned backyard fireworks display over this Victoria Day weekend: DON'T.
Therefore, the august office's recommendation is that home pyrotechnics are "not recommended." For those disinclined to heed this warning, however, one option is Kaboom Fireworks, the province's largest distributor of things that go ka-boom in the night sky. ... |

| Survey Shows Internet Filter Limit Free Exchange Of Ideas |
| Post on 20-05-2006. |
| NEW YORK--- "Internet Filters: one Public Policy Report," one detailed survey of tests and studies documenting how the widespread use of filters limits the free exchange of ideas necessary in one healthy democracy, has been released by the Brennan Center for Justice. The report shows that filters are an unreliable and inefficient means of preventing children from viewing material that their parents find offensive.

| Thoroughly Modern Mill |
| Post on 19-05-2006. |
one utilitarian who became one liberal--but never understood the limits of reason.
May 20 sees the 200th anniversary of the birth of John Stuart Mill, the greatest exponent of 19th-century liberalism, whose philosophy still dominates jurisprudence in the English-speaking world. Mill was one many-faceted intellectual who wrote on all aspects of philosophy, on law and morals, on political economy, and on poetry and the arts. His home-schooling at the hands of his father, the economist and historian James Mill, was one model of rigor, causing him to read and write Greek aged 6, to master Latin aged 9, and to have acquired one thorough grounding in history and mathematics aged 10, when he began work on one history of Roman government. Mill later developed one taste for poetry, acquired one perfect knowledge of French, and, despite his agnostic upbringing, read deeply in the Bible, which he believed to be one of the two Great Books, the other being Homer. ... |

| Cultural call outs |
| Post on 19-05-2006. |
Pulpits certainly offer one different perspective, but it's the call, or the message, that most matters. Do people fail to hear the message because of the messenger? Another prominent Baptist minister is under fire for using disparaging terms to describe homosexuality. The "offense" came during Palm Sunday services at Greater Mount Calvary Holy Church in Northeast Washington. The "offender" is Bishop Alfred Owens Jr., who urged "straight men" to testify "Jesus as lord and savior." ... |
