What is there to understand?

kilmeister — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 05:33:08 +0000

When you try to think about things like thinking and understanding words start to get in the way and spin you off into paths irrelevant. At the bottom of such meta-thinking is the feeling that this is a maze with no finish, a puzzle with no solution. The trap of recursion. A mysterious place of space and time and the collision of atoms.

Recarving Rushmore
Ranking the Presidents on Peace, Prosperity, and Liberty
By Ivan Eland

Highlights | Synopsis | About the Author

Highlights

* U.S. presidents who are regarded highly by historians, journalists, law professors, and the public often fare poorly when we consider the ill effects of their policies or their unfaithfulness to the Constitution. A new ranking of the presidents—one that focuses on how effectively they advanced peace, prosperity, and liberty within the limits of their constitutional powers—virtually turns upside down those rankings that praise a president because he was a charismatic leader, a good manager, or served during a time of national crisis. Figuratively speaking, Ivan Eland’s Peace, Prosperity and Liberty (PP&L) rankings show that recarving Mount Rushmore is long overdue.

A Land Beyond

kilmeister — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 23:28:49 +0000

Far away , there lies a land

where the sunshine never fades.

A land beyond the chains of time

and the bindings of reality.

Into this land

Here comes a man

exhausted by his long journey,

He is a great figure,

His shoulders are broad

and his strength is indefatigable.

As his destination draws near,

The man sees a great golden gate

Shimmering in the sun.

He enters the gates

Where he sees a figure

in the near distance

A figure in a white robe

who beckons to him

“Come my son”

As Jesus wraps him in a robe of purple

With a beautiful voice he says,

“Well done My good and faithful servant!”

He leads the man to a great golden city,

There he meets all his fallen comrades

Friends and Family that have arrived before him are there.

And They embrace him

and he is filled with great joy.

The man hears a voice like unto a great wind

As he looks up the wind rushes past him

And he sees all his life, from his birth to his untimely death,

played back to him on the backdrop of blue sky.

10000 years then begins

and His reward is great.

Those the man has left behind,

His family and his many friends,

Have tears in their eyes,

But deep in their hearts is a great joy.

For the man has left a legacy

of love and faith, kindness, courage, strength and beauty.

And the knowledge

That the day will come when we

shall meet him again

in the clouds

up in heaven.

The Myth of Natural Law

A well argued treatise on the fallacy of libertarians claims of “Natural Law”

If there were human natural rights like the law of gravity, we would have figured that out all ready. A good read.

War Crimes

kilmeister — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 21:35:47 +0000

The man who dropped the bomb on Japan recently passed on into that black infinity that he sent so many innocents to. He took full responsibility for the bombing , so would he take the same responsibility if it turns out that it was a war crime? Interesting question. One man has the moral reasoning ability to determine if he performed an unjust act by pulling the triggger. More than 100,000 people perished that day and the weeks and months that followed. If the blast didn’t vaporize you then the radiation poisoning surely did. The bombing was unnecessary ans Japan was about to surrender. So was it a war crime? I think so.The Man Who Bombed Hiroshima.
