    This is, in essence, Isreal conceding defeat. The perception of deterrence has been completely destroyed. Every Islamofacist with a belt bomb will now believe he can push Isreal into the sea. Sad days ahead as the people of Isreal pay the price for its leadership's lack of resolve.

  • Over 500 Scientists Sign Statement Skeptical of Evolution

    The problem is that the common usage of the terms "evoluion" and "Darwinism" are not confined to science. The terms have expanded to include the philisophical and even the theistic. For example, "Darwinism" can mean evolution by natural selection, sometimes mean what scientists call the "synthetic theory of evolution" (the union of genetic theory with natural selection theory), sometimes mean gradual evolution, and sometimes "Darwinism" means evolution itself. Sometimes "evolution" is used as a purely scientific idea, and other times it is confused with evolutionism, a naturalistic ideology that excludes the possibility of divine intervention. Also, even within the science of evolution there is a myriad of complexity and dissparate levels of proof (e.g.,inter and intra species evolution, etc.).

    The truth is the neither the Intelligent Design pundits nor the "Evolutionists" are arguing science. It is, at its core, a philisophical debate.

    However, Justice Ginsberg certainly represents the mainstream beliefs of American Females. She believes:

    1. that a woman's role as mother or wife is inherently oppressive;
    2. that the Boy Scouts perpetuate stereotyped sex roles and must ne integrated or abolished;
    3. that "The increasingly common two-earner family pattern should impel development of a comprehensive program of government-supported child care."
    4. that the legal age of sexual consent should be lowered to 12
    5. that "Prostitution as a consenual act between adults is arguably within the zone of privacy protected by recent constitutional decisions."

    There are only two differences between France's "failed" immigration policies and those of the US:

    1. The US is lucky that the hordes of immigrants coming into the country are primarily Catholic; and

    2. France has let in significantly less immigrants than the US

    The hubris of this administration is unbearable. I think the best think that can happen is that the Republican party take it squarely on the chin in '06 and '08 to remind them that their base matters and fulfilling promises mattter.

    email sent: George Wilson Chief Executive Officer Newspapers of New England george@nnenews.com February 9, 2002 Dear Mr. Wilson: It takes a unique callousness on the part of your editor, Mr. Pride, to be able to match the offensiveness of prior actions in the garnishing of an apology. To state as fact from the comfort of his desk that "enough time had passed for the wounds of Sept. 11 to heal" shows the shallowness of Mr. Pride's wounds from the onset of this tragedy. Not a morning has gone by where I have not awoken overwhelmed by the deep fire of grief over the events of that tragic day. Clearly, for me, five months has not been long enough to overcome my desperate sense of loss over the murder of my younger sister. Her young daughter, who is now 13 months old, will never know her mother. Her husband will do his best to paint her memory to his daughter as he raises her alone. Her parents will grieve as only parents who outlive their children can. In fact Mr. Wilson, five months is not even close. Mr. Pride caused an enormous amount of pain by allowing the Monitor to run Mr. Marland's disgustingly insensitive drawing. However, he has inflicted an equal injury by impugning those American's whose wounds have not healed. I say again , it is a callous man who would imply that the problem with Mr. Marland's cartoon is not the subject matter but the audience. That I and other Americans do not match Mr. Pride's emotional constitution and acuity for healing, is our problem is the implication of this apology. Shame on you Mr. Marland. Shame on you Mr. Pride. Finally, shame on you Mr. Wilson for allowing a culture to exist at your organization where humor is found in the suffering of others.
