Florida Gov. Rick Scott Vetoes Family Law Reform

I watched the hearings for SB 718 and the companion bill in the Florida House.  There was very moving testimony about how a mother had achieved independence.

Government Rick Scott needs to be more pro-Family and less pro-Florida Family Law Bar Section.

An Act of Terrorism

Leon Panetta seems to be the point person now.  The Algerian BP Hostage incident IS an act of terrorism.  The perpetrator was booted out of Al Quade (no honor among thieves) but this was an act of terrorism.

Only a few months ago, Joe Biden gave us the Bumper Sticker slogan: “General Motors is Alive and Osama Bin Laden is Dead”.

What has that intellectual guru Dick Cheney got to say about all this?  Create it and they will abuse it.

There Need Be No Other Cause

Imagine yourself as a British citizen.  You have the rare privilege of being involved in caring for a member of the Royal Family.

You fall for a prank.

I disagree that too much focus is being placed on the prank as the cause of the nurse’s suicide.

None of us are perfect  so investigators my find another possibly  contributing factor.

There need be no other cause than the prank.

Back to Basics

In the midst of cultural conflict, it seems logical that it would be good to go “back to basics” periodically.

I associate “back to basics” with the attitude often attributed to Vince Lombardi while he was the head coach of the Green Bay Packers and the approach used by physicists to derive results from “first principles.”

During my “mid-life crisis,” I decided that my core values were:   Liberty, Justice, and Compassion.  I did not develop a definition for each term.  Liberty was what our Founders Fought for.  My Justice was not blind.  My Justice was, like God, all seeing.  My Compassion was compassionate.  It should be obvious that these values are frequently in conflict.  For years, I considered “conflict” to be bad and we should try to avoid it.

An article on the back page of an old physics newsletter about Quakers and conflict was enlightening.  I’ve forgotten how Quakers address conflict but they sort of consider it good.

Defense is a legitimate role of the Federal Government.
