You have to keep the political transition on track. ... the solution to this is ultimately political and Iraqi. ... It is clearly time for the occupation to end, it is clearly time for the Iraqis to be in control of their own political future.

So, my theory:

To be a full believer in democracy, you must also be a socialist or communist. Nothing else makes sense. If the will of the people is the most appropriate thing to govern the people, then the good of the people will always be foremost in policy, above the rights of the individual.

Should the accused priests be treated like secular accused offenders - that is, should the accusations automatically be dealt with through the criminal justice system? Or should the Church have the right to decide whether to pass along the complaints?

I had my 15 minutes of fame and didn't even know it.

I find out from several aquaintances that I got my picture in a national horsey mag.

then everyone asks "you didn't know? they didn't ask you first?"

well, they didn't. Should they have? They gave credit to the guy who took the pic, but they shouldn't have to notify me. Or should they?

Take an idealistic piece of documentation which is intended to verbalise a central tenet around which a society is built. It perhaps goes through a few initial shakedowns, then stands for a bit more or less quietly until a major challenge comes along. The tenet is then waived "in this one case", since clearly it was not intended for such times of great challenge.

Is it still valid?... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Kyle Altis) http://thevirtualcommunity.yuku.com/topic/863 Wed, 10 Apr 2002 18:11:56 GMT http://thevirtualcommunity.yuku.com/topic/864/t/Class-Action-Complaints-and-what-they-mean-to-me-.html Today I was informed that I have been labeled as "similarly situated".

Is it right to take away an adopted child from a family that he has been living with since he was nine weeks old, and is now 11, because he has two fathers?

Innocent until proven guilty, or guilty until proven innocent?

Trial by judge, or trial by jury?

A judge whose role is to mediate the adversarial system, or a judge who actively joins in the questioning?
