As Americans have witnessed in recent days, there are bills brought before the Congress that attempt to hide their true intent. Their authors try to conceal the worst elements by making their bills thousands of pages long and full of cryptic and ambi...
The OK House has agreed to vote to override Governor Brad Henry's veto of HB 2569, the bill prohibiting RFID tags in the OK DL/ID cards.
This vote was originally set for Wednesday, 5/5/10, but has now been moved to Tuesday, 5/11/10.

Yesterday (Friday) at the Los Angeles Museum of Tolerance, Chuck DeVore, Tom Campbell, and Carly Fiorina faced each other in a debate where the candidates were anything but tolerant of of one another; Although occasional pot shots were taken at Campbell for being too liberal, the most heated exchanges were between DeVore and Fiorina, with [...]
Hardly anyone will dispute that most folks who chime in about ethics consider selfishness wrong. There have been exceptions in history and some of the most prominent ethical philosophers, such as Socrates and Aristotle, can even be said to have been ethical egoists or at least ones who championed the moral virtue of prudence as a vital one for living a good human life. But after some significant changes in how human nature began to be understood, being selfish or self-interested – or even
