    $200 billion is going to be used to create jobs and pay down the $12 TRILLION debt. Mwuaahahahahahahahahaaha! And, you may find this part hard to believe, but thats all Im going to say about the latest insanity.  Its not plausible enough to even discuss further. Speaking of numbers though, its 17 freaking ...

  Success Warrior: Alan B. Rowley II - Fitness Coach, Beachbody.com, P90X, Insanity — Authority: 128
  I read a comment on a blog yesterday that shows how far we have yet to go in freeing peoples minds.  The blog was about Dubais financial troubles and Im not sure how the comments came around to politics, although its easy to understand why talking about financial crisis would equate with politics.  This commenter, ...

• Pulling the Government Along

  
  Success Warrior: Alan B. Rowley II - Fitness Coach, Beachbody.com, P90X, Insanity — Authority: 128
  I believe that the human spirit never stops moving forward.  Humans may, at times, lag far behind what is possible but they will always strive to catch back up with that potential.  We are, as a race, constantly pulled forward.  We will never be content.  We will never stagnate.  There is something in human ...

• Democracy Could Work Better

  
  Success Warrior: Alan B. Rowley II - Fitness Coach, Beachbody.com, P90X, Insanity — Authority: 128
  If there just werent so many people involved.  The people mess the whole system up.  Without them, everything would run along smoothly.  Instead, we have to deal with all these people whining about what they want and have to somehow steer a majority of them into believing the same thing because when they dont, it ...

  Success Warrior: Alan B. Rowley II - Fitness Coach, Beachbody.com, P90X, Insanity — Authority: 128
  New troops could be in Afghanistan by Christmas.  Well, Merry Christmas to all and to all more death in the name of corporatism.  Supposedly, the Messiah is going to commit 30,000 more soldiers (hey!  Still no one has told me where the money will come from - how many times do I have to ask?) to the death trap ...

• No Health Check This Year

  
  Success Warrior: Alan B. Rowley II - Fitness Coach, Beachbody.com, P90X, Insanity — Authority: 128
  Tia came home for lunch and announced that our yearly health check for our health insurance has been canceled.  Each year, we get our blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, and some other things checked.  If everything falls into the healthy range, we get a discount off the monthly premium.  If something is out of ...

• I Find Myself Oddly Optimistic

  
  Success Warrior: Alan B. Rowley II - Fitness Coach, Beachbody.com, P90X, Insanity — Authority: 128
  Not about me or my life.  Im always personally optimistic.  Thats just the way I am.  No, this morning, I find myself optimistic for the human race.  I believe that we can transform ourselves and dare I say it, even in my lifetime.  That might be too optimistic but if youre going to be optimistic, you might ...

    One for the ladies . What a nice holiday Ive had.  Most people might not think much of it but for me, it has been great. It started with my birthday on Wednesday.  Plenty of birthday wishes from all my Facebook friends, a new football jersey from Rick, a couple of new books from Lynette, a couple pair ...

• The Collapse of Church Discipline

  
  Leon J. Podles :: DIALOGUE — Authority: 414
  As the Murphy Report noted, church discipline in Ireland was almost totally neglected in Ireland. In thirty years only two canonical trials were held, and these were held in opposition to the chief canonist.   The Roman Catholic Church sometimes suffers from legalism, to which voluntarist moral theology and ...

• Big Labor vs. the Boy Scouts

  
  Doug Bandow — Authority: 130
  You’ve got to love organized labor.  Unions arose during the messy process of industrialization.  They struggled to improve the lot of working people at a time of dramatic economic change and persistent poverty.Today unions seem to spend most of their time enriching themselves.  Rather than asking for better pay ...

• On Belief

  
  Maverick Philosopher — Authority: 502
  I have been thinking about belief and whether it is under the control of the will. This question is important since it lies at the foundation of the very possibility of an ethics of belief. People believe all sorts of things, and it is quite natural to suppose that some of the things they believe they are not ...

• A Pieperian Argument for Doxastic Voluntarism

  
  Maverick Philosopher — Authority: 502
  Josef Pieper (1904-1997) is a 20th century German Thomist. I read his Belief and Faith as an undergraduate and am now [December 2007] re-reading it very carefully. It is an excellent counterbalance to a lot of the current analytic stuff on belief and doxastic voluntarism. What follows is my reconstruction of ...

• Against William Alston Against Doxastic Voluntarism

  
  Maverick Philosopher — Authority: 502
  The following remarks are based on the first two sections of Chapter Four, "Deontological Desiderata," of William P. Alstons Beyond "Justification": Dimensions of Epistemic Evaluation (Cornell UP, 2005), pp. 58-67. 1. It makes sense to apply deontological predicates to actions. Thus it makes sense to say of ...

  Yesterday was a great day. I went to lunch with a hot redhead and some friends.  I made a new friend, Rhonda.  We had wine and sushi and lots of laughs.  My unfriend Lisa was good for plenty of humor. We met earlier enough that we could sit and visit for a couple of hours before walking to the arena for the ...

• Are there Exceptions to the Law against Lying?

  
  Leon J. Podles :: DIALOGUE — Authority: 414
  The question of lying is a vexed one in moral theology.   Lying is wrong. But in every situation?   The classic modern example: the Nazis come to you and ask if you know where the hidden Jews are. You do, but you lie and save a life.   But it is never right to do evil that good may come of it (see St. ...

• Last Nights Episode of V

  
  Success Warrior: Alan B. Rowley II - Fitness Coach, Beachbody.com, P90X, Insanity — Authority: 128
  By "last nights" I actually mean "tonights" because this blog post is on a delayed release but by "tonights", I mean the episode that was on my DVR and I have no actual idea of when it was actually broadcast.  Is that in any way clear?  How about, "The Most Recent Episode of V" as long as one hasnt aired between ...
