My thoughts exactly. It’s like talking to a wind up doll.

From the exchange, we can conclude that you have a new regular reader. Huzzah!

The main problem with most arguments is that people only enter an argument in order to get the emotional gratification of winning it, rather than to expand their understanding of an issue by getting different perspectives. This emotional investment hinders clear thinking.

After reading the original june article,I wonder if i really understood.As far as I understand RJ is effective AFTER the judgement and evetual punishment,not instead of them.In the real world ,you can claim that it is smart to give a lighter punishment if the perpetrator agrees to “make it up” to the victim,according to circumstances.But levelling it up as if victim and perp are all “victims of circumstances”,is just opening the door to evil,leaving the victims helpless and the perps maladjusted to real life.

Comment on Evangelicals, Take Note: Gingrich, Romney, Howdy Doody—Anybody but Obama by stephen

It is time to hold our nose and vote for the former Massachusetts GOV he is the proven leader of this field. I have voted for people of all faiths and this GOP nomination is no different. This isn’t a bad thing most Mormons are great friends, loyal to family and uphold traditions that far out way that of others we know. To think that President Romney would do nothing more than what is right for our country would be and understatement. Ann is great and certainly evangelicals are as much a varied group as any. No Mormon is the same and no person is any more or less vulnerable than any one else. I hope the media has under estimated the evangelical view. The southern group is not as familiar with them.
“The LDS” believe all things hope all things have endured many things and HOPE to be able to endure all things.

Midwest value voters set the tone say not the the Gingrinch unrepentant theological machine.

People seem to be fed up and decided for the most part. I would not read lack of response as disinterest.

“The Perfect Is The Enemy Of The Good”.Any grown up in the real world knows that perfection is not of this world.Any engineer and technician knows that they are looking for a good enough solution,for the price.Any scientist knows that his pet theory will be superseded one day by a better one.
The above mentioned gentlemen and ladys want to bring Paradise on Earth.Thats very dangerous stuff.History teaches us that they usually bring more misery,death and despair then the ones they were out to mend.Only look at all kinds of cults in past and present times.
Beware of Purists!!!

Comment on What Will Happen When the People Realize that the Constitution Is No More? by Jay Hendon

If taken from us all at once it would be noticed but it is taken from us piecemeal; incrementally.

To cite but one example, how many notice the 10th amendment is missing in action? How many notice that, as both Jefferson and Madison warned us, Congress has slipped the chains of Article 1, Section 8 and taken possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition.

The destruction of the Constitution is not the event Mencken implied in his article, but a process occurring over many decades and done both to and by the citizens whose liberty it was meant to secure.
