Hollywood's 100 Favorite films
Who better to judge the best movies of all time than the people who make them? Studio chiefs,
Oscar winners and TV royalty all were surveyed as THR publishes its first definitive entertain-
ment-industry ranking of cinema's most superlative.
Is it wrong to already declare this the No. 1 movie list of all time?
After all, there are other movie lists. Lots and lots of others. So many lists, you couldn't list them
all. But this is the first to ask the entertainment industry itself to pick its choices for the best pic-
tures ever made. In May, THR sent an online ballot all over town — to every studio, agency, publi-
city firm and production house on either side of the 405. Not everybody was initially thrilled to
participate.
"I reject the idea," Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan told THR. "To me, it's the equivalent of
having a party-size bag of Nacho Doritos, then being told to eat only five." In the end, though, he
sent in his favorites (one of which is 1961's Yojimbo), as did a total of 2,120 industry members,
including Fox chief Jim Gianopulos, Disney's Alan Horn, director Gary Ross, producer Frank Mar-
shall, Warners' Sue Kroll, agent Robert Newman, attorney John Burke, filmmaker John Singleton
and many more. These are the results: the greatest movies ever made, according to Hollywood.
There are some surprises here. It's a far more commercial list than the usual critics' picks. Who
knew, for instance, that Back to the Future would get more love than Lawrence of Arabia? There
also are shocking omissions — The 400 Blows, La Dolce Vita, The Gold Rush and dozens of other
undeniably great films. And there are interesting differences of opinion along professional divi-
des: Directors, writers and agents all agreed on their choice for the greatest movie ever (hint: It
rhymes with "Schmodfather"), while cinematographers chose 2001: A Space Odyssey and enter-
tainment lawyers, the big softies, picked The Shawshank Redemption.

Guns'n'Roses
By Joe Perry
Guns n' Roses revived our kind of rock. I remember someone handing me a copy of Appetite
for Destruction and saying, "You've got to hear these guys — they're the new big thing." Bands
like Bon Jovi and Whitesnake were big then, but Guns n' Roses were different. They dug down a
little deeper into rock's roots. I heard a lot of Aerosmith in them, which meant I also heard a lot
of bands that came before us. And I remember being a little jealous, because they were really
hitting the nail on the head.
They opened up for us in 1988, and one of the things that impressed me was how much perso-
nality they put across, even when they weren't playing. Axl knew how to work an audience. They
used to have to go out there and tape foam rubber around everything that Axl could touch —
from his teleprompter to his mic stand — to make sure he wouldn't break anything, or hurt him-
self. I think people saw that he was basically just let out of the cage. Part of the thrill was wonde-
ring what he was going to do next.
They were called metal at the time, but they weren't: Metal isn't sexy, but rock is. To put it ano-
ther way: You can have the rock, but you need the roll. Songs like "Paradise City" and "Welcome
to the Jungle" were just simple enough; the chorus lines came right when you wanted them.
Slash plays what's needed for the song, as opposed to trying to make the tune a showcase for
his technique. Guns n' Roses' music wasn't full of the overblown gymnastics that a lot of guys
were doing then — their stuff is just very tasty. Duff McKagan is like the bass player in AC/DC:
His parts were fairly simple, but they made the band an unstoppable force. Izzy Stradlin was also
important. Guns n' Roses played as a gang, which is just what you want.
Guns n' Roses are still an example of how a band can move rock forward. Sometimes you think,
"How can you top anything by the Yardbirds, or Zeppelin, or the Stones?" And then you hear
Guns n' Roses, and it's inspiring. You can think that it's all been written, but it hasn't. There's ano-
ther way to twist those three chords around, to make it sound new, fresh and rebellious.

The 1980s: Popular Culture

In some respects, the popular culture of the 1980s reflected the era's political conservatism. For
many people, the symbol of the decade was the "yuppie": a baby boomer with a college educa-
tion, a well-paying job and expensive taste. Many people derided yuppies for being self-cente-
red and materialistic, and surveys of young urban professionals across the country showed that
they were, indeed, more concerned with making money and buying consumer goods than their
parents and grandparents had been. However, in some ways yuppiedom was less shallow and
superficial than it appeared. Popular television shows like “thirtysomething” and movies like
“The Big Chill” and “Bright Lights, Big City” depicted a generation of young men and women who
were plagued with anxiety and self-doubt. They were successful, but they weren't sure they were
happy.
At the movie theater, the 1980s was the age of the blockbuster. Movies like “E.T.: The Extra-
-Terrestrial,” “Return of the Jedi,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Beverly Hills Cop” appealed to
moviegoers of all ages and made hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. The 1980s was
also the heyday of the teen movie. Films like “The Breakfast Club,” “Some Kind of Wonderful”
Page 19
and “Pretty in Pink” are still popular today.
At home, people watched family sitcoms like “The Cosby Show,” “Family Ties,” “Roseanne” and
“Married...with Children.” They also rented movies to watch on their new VCRs. By the end of the
1980s, 60 percent of American television owners got cable service–and the most revolutionary
cable network of all was MTV, which made its debut on August 1, 1981. The music videos the
network played made stars out of bands like Duran Duran and Culture Club and made megastars
out of artists like Michael Jackson (1958-2009), whose elaborate "Thriller" video helped sell
600,000 albums in the five days after its first broadcast. MTV also influenced fashion: People
across the country (and around the world) did their best to copy the hairstyles and fashions they
saw in music videos. In this way, artists like Madonna (1958-) became (and remain) fashion icons.
As the decade wore on, MTV also became a forum for those who went against the grain or were
left out of the yuppie ideal. Rap artists such as Public Enemy channeled the frustration of ur-
ban African Americans into their powerful album “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back.”
Heavy metal acts such as Metallica and Guns N' Roses also captured the sense of malaise among
young people, particularly young men. Even as Reagan maintained his popularity, popular cultu-
re continued to be an arena for dissatisfaction and debate throughout the 1980s.

How Harry Potter Changed the World

On September 1, 1998, Scholastic published Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the first US
edition of the UK's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Harry Potter has since became such an all-encompassing phenomenon that from this vanta-
ge point, it's hard to see the full scope what it accomplished: It feels as though publishing and
fandom and children's literature and all of pop culture have always been the way we know them
today. But Harry Potter changed the world.
Page 24
Author J.K. Rowling was an unknown single mom when she first got the idea for her story while
stuck on a train; the small UK children's press that ultimately took a chance on it undoubtedly
couldn't have predicted that it would have a measurable effect on everything it touched. Harry
Potter made YA book-to-movie franchises into one of the biggest forces in pop culture. It chan-
ged the business model for publishing books for kids. And it introduced an entire generation to
the idea that it's possible to interact with the pop culture you love — to write about it and with
it, to make music and art about it, and to build a business around it.
Harry Potter has literally changed the world. First and foremost, the series helped make it cool to
be a geek. People generally didn't read the Harry Potter books in isolation; they wanted to talk
about it with their friends, and then find more friends who loved the books as much as they did.
This pattern coincided with the rise of “Web 2.0” — that is, an increasingly interactive and so-
cial internet. As more Harry Potter fans became more active online, they made discussion of YA
fiction, fantasy, and science fiction seem commonplace.
Surprisingly, a 2012 study found that 55 percent of YA novels are bought by adults. In large part,
that boom is courtesy of Harry Potter, which became a surprise crossover hit adored by both
children and adults, and which made it acceptable for adults to read books that are ostensibly for
children.
For some critics, that's a worrisome development, suggesting that adults are too dull and stupid
to appreciate books actually written for adults. But there are plenty of reasons for a grown per-
son to enjoy Harry Potter.
The Harry Potter books combine the intricate plotting of a mystery with the scope of epic fantasy
and the intimacy and character development of a classic boarding school narrative. The result is
purely pleasurable to read at any age; the fantastic mythology gives this amazing world magic
and joy, and the boarding school structure makes the characters warm and familiar and char-
ming. It also makes their eventual death (for some) and trauma (for all) deeply affecting.
If you are an adult who can imagine reading for more than one reason (the pleasures of story, the
joy of immersing yourself in another world), the Harry Potter books become enormously appea-
ling.

30 random facts about 'The Simpsons'

When crudely drawn animated shorts about a dysfunctional American family began appearing
on Fox's "The Tracey Ullman Show" in 1987, nobody predicted the birth of a cultural phenome-
non.
The show debuted as a half-hour sitcom on December 17, 1989. That's more than 700 episodes
and counting -- and a lot of D'ohs! and donuts.
Whether you like it or not, here are 30 random facts about the show:
1- Creator Matt Groening named the characters after his own family members but substituted
"Bart" for his own name. Matt's parents are named Homer and Marge, and his sisters are named
Maggie and Lisa. Bart was going to be named after Matt, but instead Bart was chosen as it is an
anagram of "brat".
2- Bart's full name is Bartholomew Jojo Simpson;
3- Milhouse's middle name is Mussolini. He has an Italian grandmother and speaks Italian
fluently;
4- Comic Book Guy's real name is Jeff Albertson;
5- Homer's email address is [email protected];
6- In the Arabic version of The Simpsons, Homer is called Omar Shamshoom. In such episodes
Homer drinks soda instead of beer, and eats Egyptian beef sausages instead of hot dogs. The
show is known as al-Shamshoon;
7- Smithers was originally drawn as African-American. Writers thought it was too much having a
character who was both gay and black, so changed his skin colour but kept him gay;
8- Of Krusty the Clown's resemblance to Homer, Groening once said: "The satirical conceit that
I was going for at the time was that 'The Simpsons' was about a kid who had no respect for his
father but worshiped a clown who looked exactly like his father";
9- Originally, Krusty was going to be Homer's secret identity – that's why the two look similar
and share mannerisms. However, it was decided that was too complex a storyline to write into
the show.
10- Homer's signature "D'oh!" has been added to the Oxford English Dictionary, and an expres-
sion he frequently uses has inspired a much-quoted toast: "To alcohol! The cause of, and solution
to, all of life's problems."
Page 30
11- Both "enbigger" and "cromulent" are words invented by The Simpsons, and have now been
used in scholarly articles and are in the dictionary;
12- Bart is voiced by a woman, Nancy Cartwright. In an opening sequence during the show's se-
cond season, Bart wrote on the chalkboard, "I am not a 32-year-old woman" (Cartwright's age at
the time).
13- Apart from working at the nuclear power plant, Homer has had 187 other jobs over the cour-
se of the show.
14- The Simpsons released an album in 1990 and the lead single “Do the Bartman” was a worl-
dwide hit. It Was co-produced by Michael Jackson, who also provided background vocals and was
a big fan of the show.
15- Bart's locker combination is 36-24-36, the numbers from AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt
Cheap"
16- Lionel Hutz says he has a law degree from Princeton, a university that does not, in fact, offer
law degrees.
17- The town of Springfield was named for its generic Anywhereness (there are Springfields in
30 U.S. states). Over various episodes, the town's geography has contained rivers, deserts, far-
mland, mountains or whatever the story requires.
18- The characters' distinctive yellow hue was chosen in part to make the show stand out when
someone was flipping through TV channels for something to watch.
19- Time Magazine named it the best TV show of the 20th century and in 1998, it named Bart
Simpson one of the most influential people of the century;
20- An official version of Duff beer, Homer's favorite brew, is sold in three variations near The
Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios.
21- In the show's early-'90s heyday, school principals around the country banned Bart Simpson
T-shirts, fearing he was a bad role model.
22- . It took Danny Elfman three days to compose the show's opening theme song. He's called it
the most popular piece of music of his career.
23- Michael Jackson guest-starred as a mental patient during a third-season episode, "Stark
Raving Dad," in which Homer Simpson is sent to a mental institution. For contractual reasons, he
was credited as John Jay Smith.
24- Exiled WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange guest-starred as himself on an episode in the
show's 23rd season. He recorded his lines over the phone from the Ecuadorian embassy in Bri-
tain, where he has been granted asylum.
25- Among the celebrities who have turned down guest-starring roles on the show, according
to creators' comments on the DVDs, are Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Michael Caine, Tom Cruise,
Clint Eastwood, Anthony Hopkins, Quentin Tarantino and Prince.
26- Homer once had a theory that the universe was shaped like a donut. The theory has some
validity, according to cosmologists.
27- Fox owns the rights to the show until 2082.
28- When all the McBain scenes from the show are played back to back, they form a coherent
movie;
29- The couch gag is a way to adjust the show's running time to the necessary length. If it's a
particularly short episode, they make a longer couch gag, like that extra-long circus-themed one
that literally everybody remembers.
30- Showrunner Al Jean wants to end the final episode of The Simpsons with the arrival at a
Christmas pageant. This is how the first episode started, and would make the entire show one
continuous loop;

Video Game Industry Silently Taking Over Entertainment World
When one mentions the entertainment industry, most people would think about films and music.
Many people watch the Oscars, Grammys, Golden Globes, MTV Video Music Awards, BRIT Awards,
etc.
Of course, there is a lot of glitz and glamour in the film and music industries. But would you be
surprised to learn that these two are not the Top-grossing sectors in entertainment?
As a matter of fact, these two put together do not even match half the revenue the video game
industry is earning. According to the latest figures, the video game business is now larger than
both the movie and music industries combined, making it a major industry in entertainment.
This year, the global games market is estimated to generate US$152.1 billion from 2.5 billion ga-
mers around the world. By comparison, the global box office industry was worth US$41.7 billion
while global music revenues reached US$19.1 billion in 2018.
Consider the top blockbuster movie to date, Avengers: Endgame. When it premiered on April 16,
it raked in over US$858,373,000 during its opening weekend. It even surpassed last year's Aven-
gers: Infinity War, which generated US$678,815,482 in gross revenue.
But while these films received so much attention and hype from the general public, they failed
to outperform the highest-grossing entertainment launch in history, Grand Theft Auto V's release
back in 2013, which earned US$1 billion in just over three days. Glitz and glamor, after all, don't
directly translate to bigger profits.
The video game industry can be classified into three main categories – PC, mobile, and console
gaming.
Mobile gaming, which includes smartphone and tablet gaming, is the largest segment, accoun-
ting for US$68.5 billion of the total estimated revenue this year, up by 10.2 percent from 2018.
Console gaming is estimated to generate US$47.9 billion in revenues, up 13.4 percent from last
year, while PC gaming is seen earning US$35.7 billion, up 4 percent.
Mobile gaming is expected to take up 59 percent of the global video game market by 2021, whi-
le console and PC gaming will have 22 percent and 19 percent respectively.
Clearly, mobile gaming has gone a long way since its birth in 1997 when the addicting Snake was
pre-installed in over 400 million Nokia phones.
Although mobile gaming was interrupted for several years when the trend switched back to what
was known as the “console wars”, over the years, the development of the smartphone, coupled
with advancements in the internet and connectivity, has paved the way for more exciting gaming
experience with the RPG (role-playing game) and MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-
-paying game) becoming more accessible to mobile phones.
Page 36
Gaming is no longer just a hobby, and to describe it as a niche market is an understatement. It's a
booming industry with very wide room for growth. And with continuous innovation and the laun-
ching of more game offerings, we can only envision a very bright future for the gaming industry.
The rapid rise of technology will bring the industry to other realms such as cloud gaming, VR
(virtual reality) gaming, and AR (augmented reality) gaming.

What Is Social Networking Addiction?
Addiction usually refers to compulsive behavior that leads to negative effects. In most addic-
tions, people feel compelled to do certain activities so often that they become a harmful habit,
which then interferes with other important activities such as work or school.
In that context, a social networking addict could be considered someone with a compulsion to
use social media to excess — constantly checking facebook status updates or "stalking" people's
profiles, for example, for hours on end.
But it's hard to tell when fondness for an activity becomes a dependency and crosses the line
into a damaging habit or addiction. Does spending three hours a day on Twitter reading random
Page 41
tweets from strangers mean you're addicted to Twitter? How about five hours?
Researchers at Chicago University concluded that social media addiction can be stronger than
addiction to cigarettes and booze following an experiment in which they recorded the cravings
of several hundred people for several weeks. Media cravings ranked ahead of cravings for ciga-
rettes and alcohol.
At Harvard University, researchers actually hooked people up to functional MRI machines to scan
their brains and see what happens when they talk about themselves, which is a key part of what
people do in social media. They found that self-disclosure communication stimulates the brain's
pleasure centers much as sex and food do.
Plenty of clinicians have observed symptoms of anxiety, depression and some psychological
disorders in people who spend too much time online, but little hard evidence has been found
proving that social media or Internet use caused the symptoms. There's a similar lack of data
about social networking addiction.
Some people consider excessive use of social networks simply the latest form of "Internet Addic-
tion Disorder," a phenomenon people first began writing about in the 1990s when Internet use
was starting to spread. Even back then, people theorized that heavy use of the Internet might
impair people's performance at work, in school, and in family relationships.
Nearly 20 years later, there is still no agreement that excessive use of the Internet or social ne-
tworking services is pathological or should be considered a medical disorder. Some have asked
the American Psychological Association to add Internet addiction to the official medical bible of
disorders, but the APA has so far refused (at least as of this writing).

5 major differences between the lives of millennials and baby boomers
Millennials are America's biggest generation, with 95 million members in their 20s and 30s.
They're mostly the children of baby boomers — now America's second largest generation. Yet
millennials differ from their parents in several key ways, and the cohort is rewriting the rules for
everything from marriage to employment to the food industry.
Here are five of the biggest ways millennials live differently than their parents' generation.
1 – Millennials are more happy in cities than in suburbs.
Millennials are all about big city living and the cost of living that comes with it.
Educated millennials especially tend to move to more expensive urban centers. Unlike baby
boomers and their parents, who migrated to the suburbs en masse, millennials find happiness in
cities, according to a Regional Studies report. Larger, more urban environments offer millennials
the perks of diversity, economic opportunities, entertainment, safety, and a feeling of status.
When baby boomers were in their 20s and 30s, on the other hand, they aspired more to live in
suburban homes in smaller, pastoral regions. Today, millennials are the first generation to be
more happy with urban life than rural life. Unlike baby boomers, they are least happy in places
with fewer than 8,000 people. And millennials are the only generation that's happier living in
places with 250,000 or more people.
2 – Millennials want to get more out of work.
Compared to baby boomers, millennials are more motivated by their ability to make an impact
wherever they work. According to a Global Report survey, 74% of millennial job candidates want
a job where they feel like their work matters.
They also want the potential for growth and promotion: The Addison Group found that more than
67% of millennials want to reach manager status, compared to just 58% of the overall workfor-
ce. They're also less afraid than previous generations to change jobs or work independently.
Page 47
Baby boomers, meanwhile, are driven more by loyalty, and they're more likely to work for the
same company for long periods of time — a 2016 poll found 40% of boomers stayed with an
employer for at least 20 years, and 18% stayed for 30 years or more.
3 – Millennials are more health-conscious — and they're driving tastes in the food industry.
Millennials are more health-conscious consumers than their predecessors.

A 2013 Aetna poll found baby boomers were most likely to define “healthy” as not falling sick
and being the proper weight for your height. Meanwhile, millennials were the more likely gene-
ration to consider good eating habits and physical activity in their definitions of healthy.
Millennials can be credited for several recent shifts in food preferences, including the rise of
gluten-free, vegan, and all-natural options in the grocery aisle.
As the largest US age demographic, millennials are the key tastemakers in the food industry right
now. More than ever, millennials are demanding transparency from the food industry, as well as
sustainable food practices and locally sourced, natural options.
4 – They have less money than their parents, and they're slower to buy homes.
In the last decade, the percentage of millennial homeowners and renters has steadily declined.
This may be due to the fact that as a whole, millennials have less money than their parents did
at the same age. According to the Federal Reserve, millennials have lower earnings, fewer assets,
and less wealth compared to baby boomers.
A study by the Pew Research Center found that “millennial households are earning more than
previous generations did at their age nearly any time in the past 50 years.” So what does this
mean? Overall, as individuals, millennials are making less money, but income for married cou-
ples (household incomes) is up.
When it comes to spending, millennials are slower to own homes than previous generations.
Growing up through the evictions and foreclosure notices of the 2008 financial crisis, millennials
spend more money than their predecessors on high rent prices and paying off student loans.
Research from a Charles Schwab report found that instead of mortgages, millennials are more
likely to spend their paychecks on transportation like Ubers and Lifts, coffee, gadgets, clothes,
and live entertainment and sports.
But millennials are less likely to have money in the bank, as well. A 2015 GoBankingRates survey
found that a majority of millennials have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts, and many
have nothing at all.
5 – And they're putting off marriage.
America's youngest generations are less likely to marry during their 20s. Nearly 50% of baby
boomers were married between the ages of 18 to 32, while a mere 26% of millennials are mar-
ried in the same age range.
From 1970 to 2012, the U.S. marriage rate dropped 60% — from 74 annual marriages for every
1,000 unmarried women down to 31. The decline in marriage rates among millennials reflects a
number of cultural and economical shifts, including the recession of the late 2000s. Other trends
like the increase in women in the workforce and the decline in religiousness have also shaped
millennials' views of marriage.

Brazil's failed educational system creates illiterate students
Over a fifteen-year period, Brazil “transformed its education system”, according to a 2010 OECD
report praising the country's rapid expansion of public education. The growth of access to edu-
cation and school attendance grew rapidly over those fifteen years: by the time the OECD pu-
blished its 2010 report, state efforts had succeeded in extending access to basic education to 95
percent of the population using public administration frameworks.
But despite progress in getting children into schools and its status as a middle-income country,
Brazil's schools are still leaving many behind. While overall literacy rates are high – 92.6 percent,
according to UNESCO's 2015 report – functional illiteracy, where students don't have enough
understanding to perform basic, daily tasks involving numeracy, reading, and writing, remains a
persistent shadow. Brazil's 2016 National Literacy Assessment (ANA), released this week, showed
that just 55 percent of 8-year-old students demonstrated ‘sufficient' proficiency in reading and
writing.
The same report showed similar findings when it came to numerical literacy. Only 45 percent
had ‘sufficient' mathematical skills, while just 27 percent demonstrated ‘desirable' levels, able
to perform tasks like subtraction with three-digit numbers. Additionally, recent findings demons-
trate a continued trend of high distortion rates, where students show a literacy or mathematical
level lower than appropriate for their age. According to the ANA, just 45 percent of 8-year-old
students were able to read and write at the level appropriate for their age.
And while students and teachers alike focus on reading, writing and mathematical sums, UNES-
CO's most recent research showed that primary schools in Brazil are “paying little attention to
other parts of the curriculum nurturing creativity, culture, and the arts”. This results in poor sco-
res in other subject areas later on: Brazil's 15-year-old students were among some of the poorest
performers in some OECD science tests. Meanwhile, families typically place full responsibility
Page 54
for children's education on the schools themselves, neglecting extra-curricular help that is fun-
damental to early childhood development.
Within cities, educational inequality correlates with neighborhood incomes – which in turn
correlates with race. In Rio de Janeiro, for example, poorer neighborhoods contained the highest
levels of black and mixed-race residents, in addition to higher functional illiteracy and distortion
rates.
But UNESCO's report highlighted the huge resource discrepancies existing between schools in
Brazil's cities and its rural areas: 90 percent of computers in schools in cities are connected to
the internet, compared to 60 percent in rural areas. This directly translated to adult life, accor-
ding to the founder of NGO Education For All, Priscila Cruz, who writes: “In the rural economy, in
domestic services and in construction, we find the highest rates of functional illiteracy: respecti-
vely, 70, 42, and 41 percent.”
Governance plays a larger role than some may assume, according to UNESCO's research. Spe-
cifically in Brazil, local mayors facing imminent re-election “misappropriated 27 percent fewer
resources” than those whose elections were a little further away on the horizon. But other ele-
ments explored in the report showed that a lack of accountability within the system could be
contributing to its inefficiency.
While all levels of government made financial contributions to public education systems, “with
no systematic monitoring mechanism, leakage became pervasive, including cases of misrepor-
ting of the number of pupils enrolled, funds unaccounted for, destruction of archives and diver-
sion of teacher salaries and bonuses”.

Almost One Third of Americans Don't Trust the Media: Poll
Around one-third of Americans don't trust that the media's reporting is based on factual informa-
tion, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research
and USAFacts.
The poll, released Nov. 20, asked Americans “how often” they think each of the questions asked
“are based on factual information.” It found that about two in 10 – or less – Americans trust that
the media's reporting is based on facts. Only 21% of Americans always or often trust the me-
dia and 47% sometimes have that trust. 31% said that they rarely or never believe that media
reports based on facts, the poll found.
This distrust was even bigger when Americans were asked if they believe that the decisions
made by policy makers are fact-based. The poll found that 55% of those polled only sometimes
believe in their lawmakers decisions, and only 14% always or often trust them.
The trend of skepticism continued throughout the questions, with many Americans expressing
doubt about whether their fellow Americans vote based on facts. Americans also doubted whe-
ther political candidates' campaign messages are fact-based and if debates between candidates
are legitimate, according to the poll. Only 9% always or often trusted in politicians' campaign
messages.
Republicans are more skeptical of Democrats and baby boomers are less confident in what politi-
cians say compared to millennials, the poll also found.
“Democracy is in danger when Americans so overwhelmingly lack trust in the candidates, the
policymakers, the news media, and each other,” USAFacts President Poppy MacDonald said ac-
cording to a press release.
October's poll saw 1,032 U.S. adults interviewed between Oct. 15-28, Axios reported. There is a
margin of error of plus or minus 4.2% and the final numbers were rounded.

Gangsta's Paradise
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
'Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long
That even my momma thinks that my mind's gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it

Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how ya talking and where ya walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta, loc

As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke
Fool, I'm the kinda G that little homie's wanna be like
On my knees in the night saying prayers in the street light
Been spending most their lives 4x

Living in a gangsta's paradise
Forget the situation they got me facing

I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the state
So I gotta be down with the 'hood team
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind

Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a locked out gangsta, set tripping banger
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger
Fool, death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away

I'm living life do or die, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now, will I ever live to see twenty-four?
The way things is going I don't know.
Tell me why are we so blind to see

That the ones we hurt are you and me?

Power in the money, money in the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
what's going on in the kitchen
But I don't know what's cooking
They say I gotta learn but nobody's here to teach me

If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can't, I guess they won't
I guess they front
That's why I know my life is out of luck, fool

Living in a gangsta's Paradise
Tell me why are we so blind to see 2x

That the ones we hurt are you and me?

What makes a good parent?
A good parent strives to make decisions in the best interest of the child. A good parent doesn't
have to be perfect. No one is perfect. No parent is perfect. No child is perfect either … keeping this
in mind is important when we set our expectations.
But it doesn't mean that we shouldn't work towards that goal.
Set high standards for ourselves first and then our children second. We serve as a role model for
them.
Here are some tips on learning effective parenting skills. Many of them are not quick nor easy. And
probably no one can do all of them all of the time. But if you can keep working on them, even thou-
gh you may only do part of these some of the time, you will still be moving in the right direction.
1 – Be a good role model:
Walk the walk. Don't just tell your child what you want them to do. Show them.
Human is a special species in part because we can learn by imitation. We are programmed to copy
other's actions to understand them and to incorporate them into our own. Children, in particular,
watch everything their parents do very carefully.
So, be the person you want your child to be — respect your child, show them positive behavior and
attitude, have empathy towards your child's emotion — and your child will follow suit.
2 – Show your love.
There is no such thing as loving your child too much. Loving them cannot spoil them.
Only what you choose to do (or give) in the name of love can — things like material-indulgence,
leniency, low expectation, and over-protection. When these things are given in place of real love,
that's when you'll have a spoiled child.
Loving your child can be as simple as giving them hugs, spending time with them and listening to
their issues seriously.
Showing these acts of love can trigger the release of feel-good hormones such as oxytocin, opioids,
and prolactin. These neurochemicals can bring us a deep sense of calm, emotional warmth and
contentment, from these the child will develop resilience and not to mention a closer relationship
with you.
3 – Practice kind and firm positive parenting:
Babies are born with around 100 billion brain cells (neurons) with relatively little connections.
These connections create our thoughts, drive our actions, shape our personalities and basically
determine who we are. They are created, strengthened and “sculpted” through experiences across
our lives.
Give your child positive experiences. They will have the ability to experience positive experiences
themselves and offer them to others.
Give your child negative experiences and they won't have the kind of development necessary for
them to thrive.
Sing that silly song. Have a tickle marathon. Go to the park. Laugh with your child. Ride through an
emotional tantrum. Solve a problem together with a positive attitude.
Not only do these positive experiences create good connections in your child's brain, but they also
form the memories of you that your child carries for life.
When it comes to discipline, it seems hard to remain positive. But it is possible to practice Positive
Discipline and avoid punitive measures.
Being a good parent means you need to teach your child the moral in what is right and what is
wrong. Setting limits and being consistent are the keys to good discipline. Be kind and firm when
enforcing those rules. Focus on the reason behind the child's behavior. And make it an opportunity
to learn for the future, rather than to punish for the past.
4 – Be a safe haven for your child:
Page 72
Let your child know that you'll always be there for them by being responsive to the child's signals
and sensitive to their needs. Support and accept your child as an individual. Be a warm, safe haven
for your child to explore from.
Children raised by parents who are consistently responsive tend to have better emotional develo-
pment, social development, and mental health outcomes.
5 – Talk with your child:
Most of us already know the importance of communication. Talk to your child and also listen to
them carefully.
By keeping an open line of communication, you'll have a better relationship with your child and
your child will come to you when there's a problem.
But there's another reason for communication — you help your child integrate different parts of
his/her brain.
Integration is similar to our body in which different organs need to coordinate and work together
to maintain a healthy body.
When different parts of the brain are integrated, they can function harmoniously as a whole, which
means fewer tantrums, more cooperative behavior, and more empathy.
To do that, talk through troubling experiences. Ask your child to describe what happened and how
he/she felt.
You don't have to provide solutions. You don't need to have all the answers to be a good parent.
Just listening to them talk and asking clarifying questions will help them make sense of their ex-
periences and integrate memories.

The five most credible moderns UFO sightings
In 2017, several news organizations revealed the existence of the Advanced Aviation Threat Iden-
tification Program (AATIP), a U.S. government-funded investigation into unidentified flying objects
from 2007 to 2012. This secret $22 million program, however, was not the first of its kind. Official
government UFO studies began in the late 1940s with Project Sign, providing some of the most
credible videos of aerial phenomena to date. The 2017 revelation that the U.S. government was
actively researching UFOs re-ignited world interest in UFOs and aliens. Below are five of the most
believable UFO sightings of the 21st century.
Page 78
1. The Lights Above the New Jersey Turnpike (2001)
It takes a lot for motorists to stop alongside a highway to look toward the sky, but on July 14, 2001,
drivers on the New Jersey Turnpike did just that. For around 15 minutes just after midnight, they
marveled at the sight of strange orange-and-yellow lights in a V formation over the Arthur Kill Wa-
terway between Staten Island, New York, and Carteret, New Jersey. Carteret Police Department's
Lt. Daniel Tarrant was one of the witnesses, as well as other metro-area residents from the Throgs
Neck Bridge on Long Island and Fort Lee, New Jersey near the George Washington Bridge.
Air-traffic controllers initially denied that any airplanes, military jets or space flights could have
caused the mysterious lights, but a group known as the New York Strange Phenomena Investi-
gators (NY-SPI) claimed to receive FAA radar data that corroborated the UFO sightings from that
night.
2. The USS Nimitz Encounter (2004)
On November 14, 2004, the USS Princeton, part of the USS Nimitz carrier strike group, noted an
unknown craft on radar 100 miles off the coast of San Diego. For two weeks, the crew had been
tracking objects that appeared at 80,000 feet and then plummeted to hover right above the Pacific
Ocean.
When two FA-18F fighter jets from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz arrived in the area, they first
saw what appeared to be churning water, with a shadow of an oval shape underneath the surface.
Then, in a few moments, a white Tic Tac-shaped object appeared above the water. It had no visible
markings to indicate an engine, wings or windows, and infrared monitors didn't reveal any exhaust.
Black Aces Commander David Fravor and Lt. Commander Jim Slaight of Strike Fighter Squadron 41
attempted to intercept the craft, but it accelerated away, re-appearing on radar 60 miles away. It
moved three times the speed of sound and more than twice the speed of the fighter jets.
3. O'Hare International Airport Saucer (2006)
Flight 446 was getting ready to fly to North Carolina from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport,
when a United Airlines employee on the tarmac noticed a dark grey metallic craft hovering over
gate C17. That day, November 7, 2006, a total of 12 United employees—and a few witnesses out-
side the airport—spotted the saucer-shaped craft around 4:15 p.m.
The witnesses say it hovered for about five minutes before shooting upward, where it broke a hole
in the clouds—enough that pilots and mechanics could see the blue sky. The news report became
the most-read story on The Chicago Tribune's website to that date and made international news.
However, because the UFO was not seen on radar, the FAA called it a “weather phenomenon” and
declined to investigate.
4. The Stephenville Sightings (2008)
The small town of Stephenville, Texas, 100 miles southwest of Dallas, is mostly known for its dairy
farms, but in the evening of January 8, 2008, dozens of its residents viewed something unique in
the sky. Citizens reported seeing white lights above Highway 67, first in a single horizontal arc
and then in vertical parallel lines. Local pilot Steve Allen estimated that the strobe lights “span-
ned about a mile long and a half mile wide,” traveling about 3,000 miles per hour. No sound was
reported.
Witnesses believed the event was reminiscent of the Phoenix Lights sightings of 1997. While the
U.S. Air Force revealed weeks later that F-16s were flying in the Brownwood Military Operating
Areas (just southwest of Stephenville), many townspeople didn't buy that explanation, believing
Page 79
that what they saw was too technologically advanced for current human abilities.
5. East Coast GO FAST Video (2015)
Leaked in 2017 along with the news of the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, was
a video that revealed an encounter between an F/A-18 Super Hornet and an unidentified flying
vehicle. Seen along the East Coast on a Raytheon Advanced Targeting Forward-Looking Infrared
(ATFLIR) Pod, the craft was similar to that spotted off San Diego in 2004: a fast-moving white oval
about 45-feet-long without wings or exhaust plume.
The pilots tracked the object at 25,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean as it flew away and simulta-
neously rotated on its axis. No explanation ever emerged.

Thriller
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurkin' from the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl
But all the while you hear a creature creepin' up behind
You're outta time

There ain't no second chance against the thing with the forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
Night creatures call

And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time (they're open wide)
This is the end of your life
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side

They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together
All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen,
I'll make you see
That this is thriller, thriller night

'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul could ever dare try
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, chiller
Page 85
Thriller here tonight

Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul could ever dare try
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Darkness falls across the land

The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'all's neighborhood
And whomsoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
I'm gonna thrill you tonight...
The foulest stench is in the air

The funk of forty thousand years
And grisly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

The Seven Natural Wonders of the World
The Seven Natural Wonders of the world are a list of the world's most astonishing natural attrac-
tions.
The Seven Wonders of the World demonstrate humanity's most impressive creations such as the
Taj Mahal and the statue of Christ the Redeemer. In the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World,
ancient masterpieces such as the Temple of Artemis and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon are re-
membered. However, the Seven Wonders of the Natural World are proof — if needed at all— that
Mother Nature is just as talented as an architect. Compiled by CNN and Seven Natural Wonders in
1997, this list spans all 7 continents and includes some of the greatest heights of the Earth and
depths of the oceans, some lesser-known sites, and some well-known features that you may have
already visited yourself. While the locations of the world's most breathtaking wonders are often
disputed, these seven locations are generally agreed upon as being among the best natural sights
anywhere in the world.
The Grand Canyon
Situated in Arizona in the USA, the 277-mile long Grand Canyon is truly awe-inspiring. The canyon,
which measures up to a mile deep and some 18 miles wide at its broadest, was formed over time
by the unstoppable course of the Colorado River. Scientists estimate that the river first carved out
its path more than 17 million years ago. In recent years, increased safety measures have prevented
visitors from approaching the edge of the canyon. Still, the Grand Canyon site continues to be a
popular tourist destination. A distant glimpse of this powerful and majestic canyon is enough to
give memories of a lifetime.
Parícutin
One of the lesser-known entries on this list, Parícutin is just as impressive as many more well-
-known landmarks. It is an example of a near-perfect cinder cone volcano located in Michoacán,
Mexico. One thing sets Parícutin apart from the many others of its kind around the world. Modern
scientists were able to observe and document every stage of its lifespan – from creation to ex-
tinction – as it happened. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, visiting experts and residents of the
region were able to witness the volcano growing from a fissure in a cornfield to a mountainous
height of 1,391 ft. after erupting for 19 years, the volcano went quiet in 1952. It is not expected
to erupt again.
Northern Lights
Seen in both the polar regions of the planet, this dazzling light show is aptly referred to as the
Northern (or Southern) Lights. Unlike most of the entries on this list, you can view an aurora from
many different locations around the world. The higher the latitude, the more likely you are to see
them. The Northern Lights effect is brought on by charged cosmic particles entering and interac-
ting with the Earth's atmosphere. It causes vivid colors to be painted across the night sky.
For centuries, humans have speculated endlessly about the cause of this night-time display of
colors. References to the lights have been found in texts from Ancient Greece, stories from Norse
Mythology, and sources from Medieval England.
Victoria Falls
As the Zambezi River crosses the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, its waters descend 355
feet to form the astonishing Victoria Falls. The waterfall was named in 1855 by Scottish explorer
David Livingstone after Queen Victoria, the then reigning English monarch. The indigenous name
Mosi-oa-Tunya or "The Smoke that Thunders" is still in use locally. In 2013, the government of
Zimbabwe announced plans to officially rename the falls as such. Victoria Falls is not the highest
or the broadest waterfall on the planet, but upon considering both attributes, it qualifies as the
largest.
Page 92
Harbor of Rio de Janeiro
Guanabara Bay is a 19-mile stretch of land to the east of Rio de Janeiro, the second-largest city in
Brazil. More than 100 islands are situated around the bay, including the car-free Paquetá Island,
and Villegagnon Island, the site of the Brazilian Naval School.
In the past, the bay hosted a vibrant and diverse ecosystem. In recent decades, however, the perils
of urbanization have wreaked havoc on this once-beautiful environment. Thankfully, legislation
put in place ahead of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio stipulates a requirement for the
country's government to reinvigorate attempts to return the bay to its former glory. While there
are doubts as to whether these plans will be executed as expected, locals and ecologists around
the world remain hopeful that it is not too late to save this particular wonder.
Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is also a natural wonder of our planet. You need to see it to believe it. It fea-
tures nearly 3,000 individual reefs and almost 1,000 islands stretching for over 1,400 miles, While
the Great Wall of China is often mistakenly described as being visible from space, astronauts and
satellites have managed to capture images of the Barrier Reef.
The reef is a globally recognized landmark of Australia and a point of pride for Australians around
the globe. It is made of billions of minuscule organisms called coral polyps. Lots of work is done
each year to ensure that the delicate ecosystem of the reef is preserved for future generations.
Central to this effort is the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, a protective designation established in
1975 meant to protect the reef and the species within it.
Mount Everest
Last, but certainly not least, is the world's highest point. Known as Sagarmāthā in Nepal, and Cho-
molungma in Tibet, Mount Everest is one of the most iconic natural features of the globe. At 29,029
feet tall, it is ranked first amongst mountains for both elevation and prominence.
The first recorded attempts to scale Everest were made in the 1920s by British mountaineers.
However, it would take more than three decades until Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and New Zealander
Edmund Hilary managed to reach the summit in 1953.
Today, climbing Everest is no longer quite the unassailable goal that it once was. However, those
looking forward to doing so still have to be in peak physical condition and take great risks in un-
dergoing the venture. Climbing the mountain remains one of the greatest feats of man, and is a
hugely popular challenge for anyone looking to test their mettle.

Climate change: what do scientists say?

I'm an atmospheric physicist. I've published more than 200 scientific papers. For 30 years I taught
at MIT, during which time the climate has changed remarkably little. But the cry of “global war-
ming” has grown ever more shrill. In fact, it seems that the less the climate changes, the louder
the voices of the climate alarmists get. So, let's clear the air and create a more accurate picture of
where we really stand on the issue of global warming or, as it is now called “climate change.”
There are basically three groups of people dealing with this issue. Groups one and two are scien-
tists. Group three consists mostly, at its core, of politicians, environmentalists and the media.
Page 97
Group one is associated with the scientific part of the United Nation's International Panel on Cli-
mate Change or IPCC (Working Group 1). These are scientists who mostly believe that recent cli-
mate change is primarily due to man's burning of fossil fuels—oil, coal and natural gas. This relea-
ses C02, carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere and, they believe, this might eventually dangerously
heat the planet.
Group two is made up of scientists who don't see this as an especially serious problem. This is the
group I belong to. We're usually referred to as skeptics.
We note that there are many reasons why the climate changes—the sun, clouds, oceans, the orbi-
tal variations of the earth, as well as a myriad of other inputs. None of these is fully understood,
and there is no evidence that CO2 emissions are the dominant factor.
But actually there is much agreement between both groups of scientists. The following are such
points of agreement:
1. The climate is always changing.
2. CO2 is a greenhouse gas without which life on earth is not possible, but adding it to the
atmosphere should lead to some warming.
3. Atmospheric levels of CO2 have been increasing since the end of the Little Ice Age in the
19th century.
4. Over this period (the past two centuries), the global mean temperature has increased sli-
ghtly and erratically by about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit or one degree Celsius; but only since the
1960's have man's greenhouse emissions been sufficient to play a role.
5. Given the complexity of climate, no confident prediction about future global mean tempe-
rature or its impact can be made. The IPCC acknowledged in its own 2007 report that “The long-
-term prediction of future climate states is not possible.”
Most importantly, the scenario that the burning of fossil fuel leads to catastrophe isn't part of what
either group asserts. So why are so many people worried, indeed, panic stricken about this issue.
Here's where Group Three comes in—the politicians, environmentalists, and media.
Global warming alarmism provides them, more than any other issue, with the things they most
want: For politicians it's money and power. For environmentalists it's money for their organiza-
tions and confirmation of their near religious devotion to the idea that man is a destructive force
acting upon nature. And for the media it's ideology, money, and headlines. Doomsday scenarios
sell.
Meanwhile, over the last decade, scientists outside of climate physics have jumped on the ban-
dwagon, publishing papers blaming global warming for everything from acne to the Syrian civil
war. And crony capitalists have eagerly grabbed for the subsidies that governments have so la-
vishly provided.
Unfortunately, group three is winning the argument because they have drowned out the serious
debate that should be going on. But while politicians, environmentalists and media types can was-
te a lot of money and scare a lot of people, they won't be able to bury the truth. The climate will
have the final word on that.

The Incredibly Gory Original Versions of Modern Fairy tales
Most of the following tales are probably familiar to you in a Disney-fied version which ends “hap-
pily ever after”, but earlier editions tell another story, often filled with blood and carnage.
In case you have been living in an alternate universe where there is no such thing as Disney, or
fairytales, there will be spoilers.
1. Sleeping Beauty
In the original story, a king finds a woman sleeping and rapes her.
Still sleeping, she gives birth, and her child wakes her up by sucking a splinter from under her
finger. It eventually culminates in the King trying to kill his wife (yes, he was married) who had
attempted to trick him into eating his own children.
2. Three Little Pigs

In some versions, the first two pigs, whose houses were made of straw and sticks, get eaten by the
wolf.
In other versions, the three pigs manage to catch the wolf coming down the chimney of the third,
bricked house. Then they boil and eat him.
3. The Frog Prince

In the original Brothers Grimm version, the princess throws the frog into a wall in an effort to force
him back into a prince.
In a darker version, it isn't a kiss which transforms the frog into a prince, but cutting off his head.
4. Cinderella
Cinderella loses a glass slipper, and the prince instructs every woman to try it on. He will marry the
woman whose foot fits the slipper.
In the original Grimm version, the younger sister actually cuts off a piece of her heel in an attempt
to fit into it.
If that isn't gory enough, the eldest sister then cuts off her toes in an attempt to fit into the same
slippers.
Finally, as she is getting married to the prince, Cinderella's dead mum sends doves, who peck her
older sisters' eyes out.
Talk about revenge beyond the grave.
5. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

The PG version of the story is still fairly dark – evil step mum pays huntsman to bring back the
heart of her stepdaughter – but the Grimm version is grimmer (sorry) still.
The evil queen shows up to the prince's wedding, not realizing her former stepdaughter will be
there.
She is quickly forced into burning hot iron shoes, and instructed to dance. Until she eventually
dies.
6 – Little Red Riding Hood

In an older version, the wolf doesn't eat the grandma whole: instead, he puts some of her flesh in
the pantry, and pours her blood in a wine bottle.
The wolf then offers Red her grandma's blood and remains to eat, which she does unknowingly.
We would like to apologize for any trauma or permanent damage that may have been caused to
fond childhood memories.
Sorry.

Why are so many young people unhappy?
To cite just one example, Reuters reported in 2019 that “Suicidal thinking, severe depression and
rates of self-injury among U.S. college students more than doubled over less than a decade.”
And unhappiness is hardly confined to Americans. As the social commentator Kay Hymowitz re-
cently wrote, “Germans are lonely, the bon vivant French are lonely, and even the Scandinavians .
. . are lonely. The British prime minister . . . recently appointed a ‘Minister of Loneliness.'”
People have more money, better health, better housing, more education, and live longer than at
any time in history, but people—especially the young—are unhappier than at any time since data
began to be collected.
Why?
There are any number of reasons: increased drug and opioid addiction, less human interaction
because of constant cellphone use, and young people's fears for their future are the most widely
offered explanations. But the biggest reason is the loss of values and meaning.
Let's begin with values, and I'll focus on America.
The United States was founded on two sets of values: Judeo-Christian and American. This combi-
nation created the freest, most opportunity-giving, most affluent country in world history. This is
not chauvinism. It is fact. That's why people from every country on Earth have wanted to emigrate
to America—and still do.
Chief among the American values was keeping government as small as possible. This enabled
non-governmental institutions—Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions Clubs; book clubs; the Boy Scouts and
Girl Scouts; bowling leagues; music societies; and, of course, churches—to provide Americans
with friends and to provide the neediest Americans with help. But as government has gotten ever
larger, many of these non-governmental groups have dwindled in number or simply disappeared.
Another set of values is referred to as middle class or bourgeois values. These include getting
married before having a child, making a family, getting a job, self-discipline, delayed gratification,
and patriotism.
All of these have been under attack by America's elites, with the following results: The majority of
births to millennials are to unmarried women. Yet, according to a 2018 Cigna study, single parents
are generally the loneliest of Americans. The percentage of American adults who have never been
married and who have no children is at an historic high.
Then there is patriotism. Until the 1960s, Americans grew up loving their country, admiring the
Founders, and believing in America's values—most especially, liberty. Americans did not ignore
the bad parts of their history, but they were wise enough to recognize that what made America
exceptional was not its flaws, which were all universal, but its virtues, which were not. This strong
American identity provided generations of Americans with roots, community, optimism, and me-
aning.
Which brings me to the most important reason for all this unhappiness: a lack of meaning. As
Victor Frankl, the renowned Austrian-American psychoanalyst, wrote in his masterpiece, Man's
Search for Meaning, aside from food, the greatest human need is meaning. And nothing has given
Americans or any other people, for that matter as much meaning as religion. But in the West since
World War II, God and religion have been relegated to the dustbin of history. The result is that
more than a third of Americans born after 1980 affiliate with no religion. This is unprecedented in
American history. And it's even worse in Europe.
Maybe, just maybe, the decline of Protestantism, Catholicism, and Judaism—those great provi-
ders of meaning—is the single biggest factor in the increasing sadness and loneliness among so
many young people in America and around the world. A 2016 study published in the Journal of
the American Medical Association, JAMA Psychiatry, found that American women who attended a
religious service at least once a week were five times less likely to commit suicide. And common
sense suggests this applies to men as well.
Young people have been told God is nonsense, their country is essentially evil, their past is deplo-
Page 107
rable, their future is bleak, and marriage and children are not important.
Why are so many young people depressed, unhappy, and angry? It's not capitalism, or income
inequality, or patriarchy, or even global warming. It's having no religion, no God, and no country to
believe in. And what does that leave them with? No meaning.
But there is always Instagram.

What happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas

At one time, Las Vegas was a place for outcasts and outlaws. Later, the city became the place to go
for live entertainment, with A-list celebrities such as Elvis and the Rat Pack making regular appea-
rances on the Strip. Then it became the place for families to come during summer vacations, with
attractions and amusement rides at every resort. Since 2003, Las Vegas has branded itself as an
adult's paradise with its nightclubs, pool parties, and the world-famous tag line “What Happens in
Vegas, Stays in Vegas.”
Credit for the slogan belongs to the advertising company R&R Partners. The marketing campaign
began as a way to diversify Las Vegas' image and brand beyond the Wild West, gambling, and fa-
mily-friendly activities. The campaign took off, spawning years of television and print ads, inclu-
ding some unforgettable commercials involving buttoned-up businessmen and a prosthetic stiff
upper lip. The slogan has turned out to be one of the most successful marketing campaigns in the
tourism industry.
Despite initial pushback from those who thought the idea might be too exploitative, the “what
Page 112
happens here, stays here” slogan remains popular because of the message it sends to potential
visitors. The slogan deliberately communicates freedom. When you come to Las Vegas, you can do
anything and be anything you want to be. You can spend the money you work so hard to save; you
can have the extra drink you'd normally decline after dinner. You can talk to the attractive stranger
at the bar and dance on top of the bar because, no matter the end result, no one at home has to
know.
Since the economy of Las Vegas is dependent on tourism, the city thrives on change. Whether it's
the skyline of the Strip or marketing strategies, Las Vegas strives to stay fresh in the minds of its
guests. The city endeavors, with every renovation and addition, to indulge and tend to a guest's
every desire. “What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas” lets everyone know who comes to visit that
no matter what happens, your secrets will be safe.

Craziest sports from around the world
While most of us keep to a strict diet of NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB and perhaps some PGA or NASCAR, an
eclectic menu of more exotic sports awaits sampling.
Let's take a tour around the world to see the craziest, goriest, sexiest and downright weirdest
athletic competitions mankind has come up with.
1 – Sumo Wrestling
Location: Japan. Sure, sumo wrestling may be a little more on the map than the other sports on
this list, but have you ever stopped and thought about just how odd this sport is? Titanically obese
men wear diapers, grunt, slap each other in the face and squash their rolls of fat into each other.
Can you believe these guys are rock stars in Japan?
2 – Lingerie Football
Location: USA. Back in the day, some genius of alchemy had the idea of combining chocolate and
peanut butter; bliss was born. And now it's been done again.
Mix one part football with one part scantily clad women. Behold, lingerie football. With six te-
ams in two conferences, major expansion plans in the works, and national television coverage on
MTV2, the sport is here to stay.
3 – Quidditch
Location: the Muggle world. Yeah, you read that right. Quidditch is now a real (ahem!) sport. Star-
ted at Middlebury College in Vermont (OK, first at Hogwarts) in 1997, Quidditch now has a profes-
sional league, even a world cup.
Players prance around a field with a broomstick between their legs racing to catch the golden sni-
tch. Since winged, sentient golden balls are hard to come by in the real world, a squealing dude
dressed in all yellow with a ball in sock tied to him plays the part. Snigger at will.
4 – Dwarf Tossing
Origin: Australia. Dwarf tossing was originally a sport about distance, but then some people in the
US decided to dress them in a suit and throw them onto a wall made of velcro. I am not making this
up, I swear.
This sport is now banned. I know, I can't believe it either. Personally, I don't see why it is illegal.
Do people think these dwarfs were kidnapped and then forced at gunpoint to take part in this
"sport?" Of course not. They did this willingly and judging by the smiles on their faces, they seem
to be enjoying themselves.
5 – Cheese Rolling.
Origin: Gloucester, England. Every May, competitors climb Cooper's Hill in Gloucester and roll
down a seven pound wheel of cheese. They then kill themselves to try and catch their wheel whi-
ch can reach speeds up to 70 mph.
People seriously do get hurt. They cancelled this year's event.
If I had any idea Borat was going to be a part of this competition in 2009, I would have killed a man
to get there.
But then again, would I really want to be scarred for life after inevitably seeing this man's cash and
prizes after he has a wardrobe malfunction rolling down the hill? This debate has been swirling in
my head for days now.

Some Crazy Olympic Moments

The Olympic Games. They are a great time of celebration and symbolism. Throughout the years,
the athletes who compete are symbols of courage, bravery, and dedication. They are, when they
medal, true victors of their sport, but also representations of their nation.
But even on this great international stage, not everyone is perfect and not everything always goes
so smoothly. Through the Games' history, even with all of its amazing, groundbreaking moments,
there are still some serious fails, some shocking inconsistencies, and some odd flukes. And while
we love to watch people win, we also love to see things fail a little.
Page 123
1 – 1988 Seoul roast of the doves
The opening ceremonies are one of the most watched parts of the Olympics, and it's been like that
for decades. Nothing was different during the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. Millions tuned in and
thousands watched in the stands as the ceremony went on and led to the iconic torch lighting mo-
ment. However, at this particular games, they decided to involve doves, which doesn't necessarily
seem like a bad idea, as doves are the timeless symbol of peace.
But there is a problem when you light the doves on fire. You read that right, the doves were lite-
rally roasted, marking the last time that doves were allowed at the Olympic Games.
2 – No shoes? No problem.
If you were an Olympic athlete preparing to run a marathon, you probably wouldn't think much
about the opponent without shoes on. This was the mistake of every one of Abebe Bikila's compe-
titors during the 1960 Rome Games. According to accounts, Bikila couldn't find a pair of shoes that
he preferred before the games and decided to run barefoot through the streets of Rome.
Impressively, the Ethiopian athlete not only finished the race, but finished it first, setting a world
record and becoming the first black African to win in that sport.
3 – The kilted intruder

During the 2004 Athens Games, the long-distance Brazilian runner Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima
was running a marathon when he was interrupted by Neil Horan. Also known as “The Grand Prix
Priest” or “The Dancing Priest,” he is a self-proclaimed Irish Roman Catholic priest who interrup-
ted both the 2003 British Grand Prix and the 2004 Summer Athens Olympics to raise awareness of
the nearing apocalypse. I swear I'm not making this up.
4 – Tug of war
Yes, that's right. Tug of war was—at one point—an Olympic sport. Nowadays, tug of war is almost
exclusively reserved for picnics and middle school class battles, but in the 20th century, tug of
war was all the rage. In the 1904 St. Louis Games, tug of war history was made when neither Great
Britain or Scandinavia, two of the reigning tug of war champs, grabbed the gold, but the United
States. The Milwaukee Athletic Club clutched the gold in the muddy ground and their origin city
rejoiced. Except for the fact that not one member was from Milwaukee (most were recruited from
Chicago) and that none of the members of the team were even part of the Milwaukee Athletic
Club. Either way, they still got the gold.
5 – Cool Runnings
Last but not least, Jamaica had a bobsled team to the Winter Games in 1988 in Calgary, Canada.
Really. There is even a movie about it.

The six attributes of courage
Courage is something that everybody wants—an attribute of good character that makes us worthy
of respect. From the Bible to fairy tales; ancient myths to Hollywood movies, our culture is rich
with exemplary tales of bravery and self-sacrifice for the greater good. From the cowardly lion in
The Wizard of Oz who finds the courage to face the witch, to David battling Goliath in the Bible, to
Star Wars and Harry Potter, children are raised on a diet of heroic and inspirational tales.
Yet courage is not just physical bravery. History books tell colorful tales of social activists, such as
Martin Luther King, who chose to speak out against injustice at great personal risk. Entrepreneurs
such as Steve Jobs and Walt Disney, who took financial risks to follow their dreams and innova-
te, are like modern-day knights, exemplifying the rewards and public accolades that courage can
bring.
There are different types of courage, ranging from physical strength and endurance to mental
stamina and innovation. The below quotes demonstrate six different ways in which we define
courage. Which are most relevant to you?
1 – Feeling Fear Yet Choosing to Act
“Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?' 'That is the only time a man can be
brave,' his father told him.” —George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
"Fear and courage are brothers." —Proverb
"There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger
when you are afraid." —L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
"Being terrified but going ahead and doing what must be done—that's courage. The one who feels
no fear is a fool, and the one who lets fear rule him is a coward." —Piers Anthony
"Courage is about doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.
Have the courage to act instead of react." —Oliver Wendell Holmes
2 – Following Your Heart
“Passion is what drives us crazy, what makes us do extraordinary things, to discover, to challenge
ourselves. Passion is and should always be the heart of courage.” —Midori Komatsu
"And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already
know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” —Steve Jobs, Stanford com-
mencement speech, June 2005
3. Persevering in the Face of Adversity
"A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer." —Ralph Waldo
Emerson
"Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up
our minds to walk boldly through them." —Orison Swett Marden
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says,
'I'll try again tomorrow.'" —Mary Anne Radmacher
“It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.” —Mark Twain.
4. Standing Up For What Is Right
"Sometimes standing against evil is more important than defeating it. The greatest heroes stand
because it is right to do so, not because they believe they will walk away with their lives. Such
selfless courage is a victory in itself." —N.D. Wilson, Dandelion Fire
"From caring comes courage." —Lao Tzu
5. Expanding Your Horizons;
"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." —Lord
Chesterfield
“This world demands the qualities of youth; not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the
will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for ad-
venture over the life of ease.” —Robert F. Kennedy
6. Facing Suffering With Dignity or Faith
“There is no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bear witness that a man has the greatest of
Page 130
courage, the courage to suffer.” —Viktor Frankl
"The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of circumstan-
ces." —Aristotle
"Until the day of his death, no man can be sure of his courage." —Jean Anoulh
"A man of courage is also full of faith." —Marcus Tullius Cicero

Seven of the Toughest Jobs on the Planet
Think your job is difficult? Well, if it is not on this list, you might want to reconsider how bad you
actually have it.
The jobs on this list are considered tough for different reasons. Some of them are physically chal-
lenging, some are mentally challenging, and even more are emotionally challenging.
If you think the emotional aspect of a job doesn't matter, you should think again. Studies have
shown that chronic stress puts your health at risk, and for me, poor health is definitely a hardship.
If your job is on this list I hope you are getting paid well enough – and of course be safe!
1 – Pro diver
Diving for treasures while on vacation is one thing, but doing it for a living is another. One of the
most physically dangerous jobs on the planet is anything that involves being underwater. This in-
cludes diving for pearls, underwater manufacturing, and deep underwater drilling. And yes, there
is also the chance that you may not make it back to the surface.
2 – Bomb technician
At the top of my list for being emotionally challenging is working as a bomb technician. Although
it is fairly easy to understand why someone might want to save the world by defusing a bomb,
does anyone really want to take that risk? I mean really? I can only imagine the amount of stress
that is experienced in the split second when you do not know if you cut the right wire. No thank
you.
3 – Airplane repo person
I have a confession, I had never heard of an airplane repo man until I began researching this list.
But if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Someone has to go take back airplanes when the
owners don't pay. Why is this on my tough jobs list? Well, think about who buys airplanes: multi-
-millionaires, princes and sultans, drug cartels … I'm not trying to be the one who takes back their
plane.
4 – Bounty Hunter
If you have just the right amount of physical strength, mental know- how, and emotional fortitude
to make it as a bounty hunter, you may make a lot of money. However, I wouldn't wish the job on
my worst enemy. Not only are you responsible for chasing down criminals, you are also responsi-
ble for sending them to jail without killing them. Good luck with that, super hero.
5 – Communications-Tower Climber
Tower climbing was the deadliest job in the U.S. earlier in the decade. While Things have gotten
a bit safer, this job still results in 20 deaths each year on average in the US. In order to erect or
maintain communication towers, employees regularly climb towers, using fixed ladders, support
structures or step bolts, from 100 feet to heights in excess of 1000 or 2000 feet. They often have
to do this in extreme weather conditions – cause that's when things go wrong.
6 – Professional Fisherman
Recreational fishing is no comparison to what commercial fisherman in the most remote parts of
the planet endures. Besides the obvious risk of drowning, the fact that the fishing is done where
the fish are (far out in the ocean in areas humans tend to stay away from) is the reason it is so dan-
gerous. The workers face emotional stress of separation from land, as well as physical demands
of the job.
7 – Logger
So you like climbing trees? Great! Now strap on loads of equipment, make those humongous trees
come down without getting smashed and do it in terrible weather. At that point, you might have
an idea of what it takes to be a logger. Despite all of our innovations, most of logging is still done
the old fashioned way- with a man and a tree. Last time I checked, trees are a lot bigger than men.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that logging is America's most dangerous job. Workers lost
their lives at a rate of 127.8 per 100,000 full-time workers. In total, 62 loggers were killed on the
job last year in the US alone, and many, many more around the world.

Eight Cutting-edge Technologies that will change the world

Just by looking at where we are today, we can already see how powerful technology has been in
shaping our world. Through the years, scientists have introduced innovative technology intended
to make life a lot more convenient for humans. Technological advancements happen so fast that
people's current way of life always seems out of date relative to these advancements. Are you
ready to get a glance at what the future might look like? Here is a list of eight cutting-edge tech-
nology examples you won't believe exist.
1 – 3D Metal Printing
While 3D printing has been around for a while now, printing metal has proven difficult and expen-
sive. However, now, new 3D metal printers are simplifying the process and could radically change
manufacturing as we know it, but also present many dangers, including at-home gun manufactu-
ring.
2 – Deep data mining

Deep data mining refers to the strategy of data collection that involves analyzing patterns as well
as predicting and influencing behavior. This technology will soon help commercial and govern-
ment enterprises to predict the psychological profiles of individuals, the way Pandora analyzes
internet users' personalities through their favorite movies and music. The purpose of this techno-
logy is to understand human nature more easily.
3 – Babel Fish Earbuds

Right now, Google has already developed earbuds that can translate forty languages in real-time.
It won't be long before this technology can translate even more languages with greater proficien-
cy. Once they hit the market, they may close an ancient barrier.
Page 145
4 – Solar Fuel
The idea behind the development of solar fuel lies in the direct conversion of solar energy into a
liquid fuel. The production of fuel through solar energy is much like mimicking how plants produ-
ce energy through the process of photosynthesis. This technology will make possible the creation
of fuel using just sunlight, carbon dioxide, and non-potable water.
5 – Space-Based Solar Energy

Space-based solar energy technology involves assembling and maintaining vast arrays of solar
panels in space to better capture the energy of the sun while getting rid of the Earth's atmosphere.
This technology is the solution to earth-based solar collection, which involves a great deal of solar
energy deflected by the atmosphere.
6 – Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology refers to the manipulation of materials in the atomic and molecular levels for
revolutionizing computing, not just by making the process faster but also by making computing
devices a lot smaller. Scientists believe that devices as small as cells may someday navigate throu-
gh the human body to serve as artificial immune systems.
7 – Neural Interfaces
The idea behind this technology is providing humans with the ability to hook their brains directly
into the internet. The giant leap into the realm of wetware recently became possible after a bionic
eye got the approval of FDA. Neural interfaces involves brain wave mapping, which refers to the
process of controlling remote robotics directly from neural impulses.
8 – Self-diagnostic medicine
Self-diagnostic medicine is a technology that will soon provide an effective alternative to medical
consultations wherein diagnostic hardware becomes available in the comfort of people's homes.
Questions :
1- What's a danger of 3D metal printing technology?

2- What's the objective for the use of deep data mining?
3- What can Google earbuds do?
4- What natural process does the production of solar fuel try to imitate?
5- What is the main advantage of space-based solar energy?
6- What does nanotechnology refer to?

Roger Scruton – Why Beauty Matters
At any time between 1750 and 1930 if you had asked educated people to describe the aim of
poetry, art or music, they would have replied, “beauty.” And if you had asked for the point of that,
you would have learned that beauty is a value – as important as truth and goodness.
Then in the twentieth century, beauty stopped being important. Art increasingly aimed to disturb
and to break moral taboos. It was not beauty, but originality, however achieved and at whatever
moral cost that won the prizes.
Not only has art made a cult of ugliness, architecture too has become soulless and sterile.
And it's not just our physical surroundings that have become ugly.
Our language, our music and our manners are increasingly raucous, self-centered, and offensive,
as though beauty and good taste have no real place in our lives. One word is written large on all
these ugly things, and that word is “me.” My profits, my desires, my pleasures. And art has nothing
to say in response to this except, “Yeah, go for it!” I think we are losing beauty and with it there is
the danger that we will lose the meaning of life.
I'm Roger Scruton, philosopher and writer. My trade is to ask questions. During the last few years I
have been asking questions about beauty. Beauty has been central to our civilization for over two
thousand years. From its beginnings in Ancient Greece, philosophy has reflected on the place of
beauty in art, poetry, music, architecture, and everyday life. Philosophers have argued that throu-
gh the pursuit of beauty we shape the world as a home.
We come to understand our own nature as spiritual beings. But our world has turned its back on
beauty. And because of that, we find ourselves surrounded by ugliness and alienation.
I want to persuade you that beauty matters. That it is not just a subjective thing. But a universal
need of human beings. If we ignore this need we find ourselves in a spiritual desert. I want to show
you a path leading out of that desert. It is a path leading home.
The great artists of the past were aware that human life is full of chaos and suffering. But they had
a remedy for this; and the name of that remedy was beauty. The beautiful work of art brings con-
solation in sorrow and affirmation in joy. It shows human life to be worthwhile.
Many modern artists have become weary of this sacred task. The randomness of modern life they
think cannot be redeemed by art. Instead, it should be displayed. The pattern was set nearly a
century ago by the French artist, Marcel Duchamp. Who signed a urinal with a fictitious signature,
R. Mutt, and entered it for an exhibition (in 1917).
His gesture was satirical; designed to mock the world of art and the snobberies that go with it. But
it has been interpreted in another way, showing us that anything could be art.
1) Like a light going on and off.
2) A can of excrement.
3) Or even a pile of bricks.
No longer does art have a sacred status raising us to a higher moral or spiritual plane, it is just one
human gesture among others, no more meaningful than a laugh or shout. “I think they are making
fun of us. It's a pile of bricks!” – says a lady.
Art once made a cult of beauty. Now we have a cult of ugliness instead. Since the world is dis-
turbing, art should be disturbing too. Those who look for beauty in art are just out of touch with
modern realities.
Sometimes the intention is to shock us. But what is shocking first time round, is boring and va-
cuous when repeated. This makes art into an elaborate joke though by now that has ceased to be
funny, yet the critics go on endorsing it, afraid to say that the emperor has no clothes.
Creative art is not achieved, just like that, simply by having an idea. Of course, ideas can be inte-
resting and amusing, but this does not justify the appropriation of the label “art.”
If a work of art is nothing more than an idea, anybody can be an artist. And any object can be a
work of art. There is no longer any need for skill, taste or creativity.

State Vs Nation
In common usage, the terms State and Nation are often used as synonyms. For example, when we
say ‘Western nations' or ‘Asian nations' or ‘African nations', we do not mean nations but States.
Similarly, the ‘United Nations' is in reality an organization of nation-states. Each modern state
is a Nation State; nevertheless there are some important distinctions between the State and the
Nation.
1. The elements of State and Nation are different:
The State has four elements—population, territory, government, and sovereignty. In the absence
of even one element, a State cannot be really a State. A state is always characterized by all these
four elements. On the contrary, a nation is a group of people who have a strong sense of unity and
common consciousness.
Common territory, common race, common religion, common language, common history, common
culture and common political aspirations are the elements which help the formation of a nation,
and yet none of these is an absolutely essential element. The elements which go to build a nation
keep on changing.
2. State is a Political Organization while Nation is a social, cultural, psychological, emotional and
political unity:
The State is a political organization which fulfills the security and welfare needs of its people. It is
concerned with external human actions. It is a legal entity. On the other hand, a Nation is a united
unit of population which is full of emotional, spiritual and psychological bonds. A nation has little
to do with the physical needs of the people.
3. Possession of a Definite Territory is essential for the State but not for a Nation:
It is essential for each State to possess a fixed territory. It is the physical element of the State.
State is a territorial entity. But for a nation territory is not an essential requirement. A nation can
survive even without a fixed territory. Love of a common motherland acts as a source of unity. For
example, before 1948 the Jews were a nation even though they had no fixed territory of their own.
When, in 1948, they secured a definite and defined territory, they established the State of Israel.
4. Sovereignty is essential for State but not for Nation:
Sovereignty is an essential element of the State. It is the soul of the State. In the absence of so-
vereignty, the State loses its existence. It is the element of sovereignty which makes the state
different from all other associations of the people. It is not essential for a nation to possess sove-
reignty.
The basic requirement of a nation is the strong bonds of emotional unity among its people which
develop due to several common social cultural elements. Before 1947, India was a nation but not
a State because it did not have sovereignty. (State = Nation + Sovereignty).
After its independence in 1947, India became a State because after the end of British imperial rule
it became a sovereign entity. However, each nation always aspires to be sovereign and indepen-
dent of the control of every other nation.
5. Nation can be wider than the State:
The State is limited to a fixed territory. Its boundaries can increase or decrease but the process
of change is always very complex. However a nation may or may not remain within the bounds
of a fixed territory. Nation is a community based on common ethnicity, history and traditions and
aspirations.
Obviously its boundaries can easily extend beyond the boundaries of the State. For example in
a way the French nation extends even to Belgium, Switzerland and Italy because people in these
countries belong to the same race to which the French claim to belong.
6 – There can be more than one Nationality in one State
There can be two or more than two nations within a single State. Before the First World War, Aus-
tria and Hungary were one State, but two different nations. Most of the modern states are multi-
national states.
Page 157
7. Nation is more stable than State:
A nation is more stable than the State. When sovereignty ends, the State dies, but not the nation.
A nation can survive even without sovereignty. For example, after their defeat in the World War II,
both Germany and Japan lost their sovereign statuses and outside powers began to control them.
They ceased to exist as States. But they continued to live as nations, which after some months
regained their sovereign statuses and became sovereign independent states.
8. A State can be created while a Nation is always the result of evolution:
A State can be created with the conscious endeavors of the people. Physical elements play an im-
portant role in the birth of a State. For example, after the Second World War, Germany got divided
into two separate states West Germany and East Germany. But Germans remained emotionally as
one nation.
Ultimately in October 1990 the Germans again got united into a single state. In 1947 Pakistan was
created out of India as a separate State. A nation is a unity of the people which emerges slowly and
steadily. No special efforts go into the making of a nation.
9. The State uses police power (force) for preserving its unity and integrity, the Nation is bound by
strong cultural and historical links:
State has police power. Those who dare to disobey it are punished by the state. A nation does not
have police power or force or coercive power. It is backed by moral, emotional and spiritual power.
A nation survives on the power of sense of unity of the people. A nation appeals, the State orders;
a nation persuades, a States coerces; and a nation boycotts, the State punishes. State is a political
organization, while the nation is a unity.
State and Nation do not have the same boundaries, and yet there is a tendency for a Nation and
State to be one. Most of the nations today stand organized into different states. Most of the mo-
dern States are multinational States. The modern state is called a nation-state because all the
nationalities living in one state stand integrated into one.
A State continuously pursues the objective of national integration. The State tries to achieve this
objective by securing a willing blending of the majority nationality and all the minority nationali-
ties, through collective living, sharing of all the ups and the downs in common and development
of strong emotional, spiritual and psychological bonds. Unity in diversity or more really, unity in
plurality stands accepted as the guiding principle by all the modern civilized multinational states
like India, USA, Russia, China, Britain and others.

The Government isn't supposed to fix your life
Well I'm not here to tell you who to vote for. But I am here to tell you who not to vote for. Don't vote
for anyone who says, “I'll fight for you.” Because that person is full of crap and has no intention
of not only fighting for you, he doesn't know who you are. He or she is just moving on to the next
town where they can point at the next sap and say, “I'll fight for you.”
I'm so tired of these politicians and their town hall meetings when somebody stands up and says,
“I'm pregnant with quadruplets. I've been put on academic probation at the junior college. And my
milkman hates my guts. What are you going to do for me?”
And my answer is, “Nothing. But here's the good news. We live in the United States. You can do
something for you. Feel free to get a job and fight to keep it.”
Let me give you a really good example of people doing too much for others and us coming apart at
the seams as a society. You guys remember when you were kids and you'd fake an illness and you'd
stay home from school, and you'd sit there on your sofa and you'd watch daytime TV?
“Hey! I'm Wally Thorpe. School of Trucking! You can get into trucking too! Be a long haul trucker!
Get your license! Hit the open road! Make a good living!”
“Learn typewriter repair.” – “Learn toaster repair.”
Remember all those commercials? Every single commercial was geared to somebody who was
out of work but who wanted to work. Why? Well it's Tuesday. It's noon. Who's going to be home
watching this TV show? People who are out of work. What do people who are out of work want to
do? They want to get to work, thus they learn to drive an 18-wheeler.
Now look at every commercial that's on during daytime TV.
“Wrongfully let go by an employer?”
“Slip and fall in a supermarket?” – “You can sue. Hi, I'm attorney Lance Bassman, and I'll fight for
you.”
See? The same people that say they're going to fight for you are the same people trying to get you
free crap when you won't get off your ever enlarging butt that's now melding and becoming one
with your sofa.
Fixing your screwed up life is not the government's job. And by the way, when does the govern-
ment do a good job at fixing anything? I mean, I live in Los Angeles. We pay the most in taxes, and
we get the least in education.
I want the government to do stuff that I can't do. Stop a war, end a plague. That kind of stuff. Stuff
involving me? Stuff involving my family? Stuff involving my community? I can handle that.
Also, don't vote for the politician who says, “I know it's not a level playing field. I'm going to level
it for you.” That's impossible. It's mathematically impossible to have a level playing field.
What are we going to do about fat people being discriminated against? Some people are born with
one limb shorter than the other. Other people are born with a Brillo head.
There's nothing we can do about it. The government's job is to clear the playing field, not level the
playing field, since it's impossible for them to level the playing field. Just clear it of all the land
mines and all the barbed wire and let us get to work. And don't worry, this is a great country. The
harder you work the more you score and eventually your team goes to the Super Bowl.
So let's review. I'm not going to tell you who to vote for. I'll tell you who not to vote for. Don't vote
for the guy who says he's going to get rid of all your problems, take care of you, and tuck your kids
in at night
You see, humans need challenges to overcome, just like a muscle needs resistance to grow. In a
zero gravity environment an astronaut's muscles atrophy because there is no resistance. The go-
vernment giving you a bunch of handouts and living your life for you is basically the equivalent of
doing pushups in outer space.
“Look ma I can clap five times just like Rocky in between sets!”
Big government is like the void of space. It's massive, constantly expanding and if we immerse
ourselves in it, we'll simply wither away.
Adam Carolla for Prager University.

The Three Generations of Human Rights

The three generations of human rights respond to the proposal made in 1977 by Karel Vasak, a
Czech jurist whose theories have primarily taken root in European legislation. There are three
types of human rights: civil and political, socio-economic and collective development.
The first two refer to the individual demands of the people against the State, they are well accep-
ted norms and regulated in various international treaties and conventions. The third type refers to
the demands of the peoples and communities against the State; It is the most conflictive and lacks
legal as well as political recognition.
1 – First generation of human rights
The first generation of human rights refers to civil and political rights. In the sixteenth and seven-
teenth centuries these rights were born; peoples began to recognize that the rulers should not be
omnipotent and it is recognized as the beginning of the struggle against monarchical absolutism.
It was stated that there had to be limits and things that could not be done by the government. In
addition, it was believed that the people should be able to have some influence on the policies
that affected their lives. There are two ideas as the center of the movement:
- Personal freedom.
- Protection of the individual against the State.
Philosophers such as Locke, Montesquieu, Hobbes and Rousseau exposed these ideas that were
later shaped in legal documents in different countries (Magna Carta of 1215, Declaration of Rights
of England in 1689, Letter of Rights of the United States 1776 and French Declaration of the Ri-
ghts of Man and the Citizen 1789).
These documents with constitutional value limited the absolute power in several aspects:
- Limits were introduced on the institution of taxes by the king, without the prior approval of the
Parliament.
- Limits were established on arrests and confiscation of property without the necessary prior ju-
dicial procedure.
- Freedom of expression and freedom of thought were proclaimed.
2 – Second generation of human rights
The second generation of human rights refers to economic, social and cultural rights. They are ri-
ghts that are based on ideas of equality and guarantee of access to basic goods, services and social
and economic opportunities.
Industrialization and the emergence of the working class brought new claims and new ideas about
what a dignified existence was. People realized that human dignity required more than non-inter-
ference by the State. This was what civil and political rights proposed.
These economic, social and cultural rights are described in the International Covenant on Econo-
mic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), and also in the European Social Charter of the Council of
Europe.
Social rights
Social rights allow a total participation of life in society. They include at least the right to edu-
cation and a family, but also rights known as civil (right to recreation, medical care, privacy and
non-discrimination).
Economic rights
Page 168
Economic rights guarantee a minimum level of material security necessary for human dignity. It
is stated that the lack of employment or housing is psychologically degrading to the detriment of
human dignity.
Normally, economic rights include the right to work, housing, a pension for people with disabili-
ties and the elderly, and the right to an adequate standard of living.
Cultural rights
Cultural rights are those related to the cultural way of life. They include the right to education and
the right to participate in cultural life.
However, there are other rights not officially classified as cultural, but which are vital to guarantee
the continuity of the cultural idiosyncrasy of minority communities. Some are the right to non-dis-
crimination and equal protection of the law.
3 – Third generation of human rights
The third generation of human rights refers to solidarity rights. This includes the right to sustai-
nable development, peace or a healthy environment, to participate in the common heritage of
humanity, to communication and humanitarian assistance, among others.
Unfortunately, in much of the world, advances in human rights have been limited by the existing
conditions of extreme poverty, wars or natural catastrophes.
Some experts are against the idea of the second and third generations of human rights due to their
collective and positive nature; for the first generation of human rights is all about negative laws.
In other words, it tells what governments and people should not do. The second and third genera-
tions, on the other hand, demand action from others and from the government, making them much
harder to be achieved. Many times, by the way, second and third generations imply a necessary
disrespect to the first one.

Five inspirational people with disabilities

If these famous people with disabilities share something, besides their professional success, it
is their ability of self-improvement. The lives of most of them have not been easy and precisely
because of that, they are an example and inspiration.
1 – Stephen Hawkin
A theoretical physicist, astrophysicist, cosmologist, and eminent scientist, Stephen Hawking was
diagnosed with ALS at age 21: he was given 2 more years to live. He lived until he was 76-years-
-old.
He had been paralysed from head to toe for over thirty years and used a voice synthesizer to be
able to communicate, and a wheelchair that he operated through slight movements of the head
and eyes.
None of this prevented him from developing his activity as an exemplary researcher and professor,
and intense personal life that allowed him to make his illness known to the world.
2 – John Nash
Another example of a celebrity with a disability who broke the mold is John Nash, an American
mathematician whose life, marked by acute paranoid schizophrenia, is known to us thanks to the
film "A Beautiful Mind" Aware of his illness, Nash fought against it and developed a successful
Page 173
academic career that earned him the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994.
3 – Andrea Boccelli
Tenor, musician, writer and music producer of Italian origin, Andrea Boccelli has sold more than 75
million records. He also studied law.
He was born with congenital glaucoma, which left him partially blind. But that did not prevent him
from taking piano lessons until the age of 6. However, at the age 12, he suffered a blow during a
soccer game that left him completely blind.
Boccelli has received numerous awards of international prestige and even has a beach named
after him on the Adriatic.
4 – Michael J. Fox
The Back to the Future star was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991 when he was just 29 years old
and his career was at its peak. He was told that he should withdraw from the stage, but he did not
cease to be an actor.
Michael found it hard to accept his illness, suffering with depression and alcoholism for some
time. But, he now works to promote his foundation, Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Re-
search, to help find a cure for this progressive disease.
After more than 25 years and with the condition at a very advanced stage, Michael J. Fox continues
to maintain his spirit of improvement. His foundation has already raised $233 million for Parkin-
son's research.
5 – Nick Vujicic
Nick Vujicic is an Australian motivational speaker born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a disability
where the person affected is born without arms and legs. He is one of the seven known survivors
in the world who has the syndrome.
Born in 1982 with no limbs, he claims that as a child he suffered ridicule and discrimination, and
tried to commit suicide. However, with time, he learned to see his own potential. He is the founder
of Life Without Limbs – an organization for people with physical disabilities.
He is currently giving motivational talks around the world, has written several books and is a re-
gular on talk shows and TV programs. He became very famous after starring in the short film The
Butterfly Circus.

What was the Enlightenment?

Modern science, medicine, political freedom, the market economy—all of them, we're told, are the
result of a sort of miracle that took place 250 years ago. That miracle is called the Enlightenment,
a moment in history when philosophers suddenly overthrew religious dogma and tradition and
replaced it with human reason. Harvard professor Steven Pinker puts it this way: “Progress is a gift
of the ideals of the Enlightenment.”
There's just one problem with this claim. It isn't really true.
Consider the U.S. Constitution, which is frequently said to be a product of Enlightenment thought.
But you only need to read about English common law—which Alexander Hamilton and James Ma-
dison certainly did—to see that this isn't so. Already in the 15th-century, the English jurist John
Fortescue elaborated the theory of “checks and balances,” due process, and the role of private
property in securing individual freedom and economic prosperity. Similarly, the U.S. Bill of Rights
has its sources in English common law of the 1600s.
Or consider modern science and medicine. Long before the Enlightenment, tradition-bound En-
glish kings sponsored path-breaking scientific institutions such as the Royal College of Physicians,
founded in 1518, and the Royal Society of London, founded in 1660.
The truth is that statesmen and philosophers, especially in England and the Netherlands, articula-
ted the principles of free government centuries before America was founded.
So why give the Enlightenment all the credit? Apparently because it doesn't look good to admit
that the best and most important parts of modernity were given to us by individuals who nearly
all held conservative religious and political beliefs.
The claim that all good things come from the Enlightenment is most closely associated with the
late-18th-century German philosopher, Immanuel Kant. For Kant, reason is universal, infallible,
Page 178
and independent of experience.
His extraordinarily dogmatic philosophy insisted that there can be only one correct answer to
every question in science, morality and politics. And that to reach the one correct answer, mankind
had to free itself from the chains of the past—that is, from history, tradition and experience.
But this Enlightenment view is not only wrong, it's dangerous. Human reason, when cut loose from
the constraints imposed by history, tradition and experience, produces a lot of crazy notions.
The abstract “Enlightenment Philosophy” of Jean Jacques Rousseau is a good example. It quickly
pulled down the French state, leading to the French Revolution, the Reign of Terror, and the Napo-
leonic Wars. Millions died as Napoleon's armies sought to rebuild every government in Europe in
light of the one correct political theory he believed was permitted by Enlightenment philosophy.
Today's cheerleaders for the Enlightenment tend to skip this part of the story. They also pass
over the fact that the father of communism, Karl Marx, saw himself as promoting universal reason
as well. His new “science” of economics ended up killing tens of millions of people in the 20th
century. So did the supposedly scientific race theories of the Nazis. The greatest catastrophes of
modernity were engineered by individuals who claimed to be exercising reason.
In contrast, most of the progress we've made comes from conservative traditions openly skeptical
of human reason. The Enlightenment's critics, including John Selden, David Hume, Adam Smith,
and Edmund Burke, emphasized the unreliability of “abstract reasoning” and urged us to stick clo-
se to custom, history, and experience in all things.
Which brings us to the heart of what's wrong with today's idolization of the Enlightenment. Its
leading figures were not skeptics open to what history and experience might teach us.
Their aim was to create their own system of supposedly infallible truths independent of experien-
ce. And in that pursuit, they were as rigid as the most dogmatic medievals.
Anglo-Scottish conservatives had a very different goal. They defended national and religious tra-
dition, even as they cultivated what they called a “moderate skepticism”—a combination that
became known as “common sense.”
I think a lot about common sense these days, as I see American and European elites clamoring for
“Enlightenment Now.” They rush to embrace every fashionable new “ism”—socialism, feminism,
environmentalism, and so on—declaring them to be universal certainties and the only “politically
correct” way of thinking. They display contempt towards those who won't embrace their dogmas,
branding them “unenlightened,” “illiberal,” “deplorable,” and worse.
But these new dogmas deserve to be greeted with some of that old Anglo-Scottish skepticism.
Enlightenment overconfidence in reason has led us badly astray too many times.

Capitalism Vs Socialism
Capitalism versus socialism. We can sum up each economic system in one line: Capitalism is based
on human greed. Socialism is based on human need. Right?
No. Wrong. So wrong, it's exactly backwards. And I'll prove it to you.
Been on Amazon lately? Each of the thousands of products Amazon offers represents the work of
people who believe they have something you want or need. If they're right, they prosper. If they're
wrong, they don't.
That's how the free market works. It encourages people to improve their lives by satisfying the ne-
eds of others. No one starts a business making a thing or providing a service for themselves. They
start a business to make things or provide services for others.
I speak from personal experience.
When I was the CEO of the company that owns Carl's Jr. and Hardee's restaurant chains, we spent
millions of dollars every year trying to determine what customers wanted. If our customers didn't
like something, we changed it--and fast, because if we didn't, our competitors would (pun inten-
ded) eat us for lunch.
The consumer--that's you--has the ultimate power. In effect, you vote with every dollar you spend.
In a socialist economy, the government has the ultimate power. It decides what you get from a
limited supply it decides should exist.
Instead of millions of people making millions of decisions about what they want, a few people-
--government elites--decide what people should have and how much they should pay for it. Not
surprisingly, they always get it wrong. Have you ever noticed that late-stage socialist failures
always run out of essential items like toilet paper?
Of course, this isn't a problem for those who have the right connections with the right people.
Those chosen few get whatever they want. But everyone else is out of luck.
Venezuela, once the richest country in South America, is the most recent example of socialism
driving a prosperous country into an economic ditch. Maybe you think it's an unfair example. I'm
not sure why, but okay. We'll ignore the fact that leftist activists celebrated it as a great socialist
success--right up until it wasn't.
But what about Western European countries? Don't they have socialist economies? People seem
pretty happy there. Why can't we have what they have--free health care, free college, stronger
unions?
Good question. And the answer may surprise you.
There are no socialist countries in Western Europe. Most are just as capitalist as the United States.
The only difference--and it's a big one--is that they offer more government benefits than the U.S.
does.
We can argue about the costs of these benefits and the point at which they reduce individual ini-
tiative, thus doing more harm than good. Scandinavians have been debating those questions for
years. But only a free-market capitalist economy can produce the wealth necessary to sustain all
of the supposedly "free stuff" Europeans enjoy. To get the "free stuff," after all, you have to create
enough wealth to generate enough tax revenue to pay for everything the government gives away.
Without capitalism, you're Venezuela.
In a 2015 speech at Harvard, Denmark's prime minister took great pains to make this point: "I know
that some people in the U.S. associate the Nordic model with... socialism, therefore I would like
to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market
economy."
So when you point to Denmark as a paragon of socialism, you're really singing the praises of ca-
pitalism.
The more capitalism, the less "socialism" you need. Look at America since 2017. A policy of lower
taxes and less government regulation (that's more capitalism) has led to a robust economic ex-
pansion, something thought impossible just a few years earlier. Unemployment, notably among
minority groups typically most at risk for poverty, is at a generational low. Economic expansion
Page 184
gets people off welfare and into work (that's less "socialism").
None of this requires a degree in economics. Common sense is all you need. That's why it's so
frustrating to see young people praising socialism and criticizing capitalism. It's bad enough that
they're working against their own interest--better job prospects, better wages, personal freedom-
--but they are also working against the interest of the less fortunate.
Capitalism leads to economic democracy. Socialism leads to the economic dictatorship of the eli-
te. Always. And everywhere.
So beware what you ask for. You just might get it.

Should Government Bail Out Big Banks?
In 2008, America experienced the biggest meltdown of its financial sector since the Great Depres-
sion. The conventional wisdom is that this failure and subsequent government rescue, commonly
known as "the bailout" was brought about by three decades of bank de-regulation. There were a
lot of causes for the meltdown, but deregulation wasn't one of them. Ironically, it wasn't because
the banks had become unmoored from government control that led them into the financial storm,
it was because they had become too closely tied to government. For three decades Uncle Sam,
like an enabling parent, had always "been there" when the big banks got into trouble. The shock
in 2008 was that for one brief moment, Uncle Sam wasn't there.
In the wee hours of September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. The financial in-
dustry waited for the Feds to step in and save Lehman bondholders like it saved those of Bear
Stearns some months earlier. That didn't happen. Global financial markets seized up. As the Dow
Jones Industrial average fell 498 points, or nearly 4.4 percent, financial institutions effectively
went on strike. Banks wouldn't lend money to other banks and thus, indirectly, to the public be-
cause they had no idea which financial institution might go belly up next. The economy can wi-
thstand a stock-market crash, but a credit-market freeze -- essentially a cash freeze -- can cause
a Depression, as credit underpins almost all business and personal activities. Indeed, some large
companies, including General Electric, were so dependent on these short-term credit markets that
they were in danger of not being able to pay their workers.
The financial industry pleaded with the government to act. Later in the same day, September 15,
it did. The Feds wouldn't save Lehman's but it would save AIG, the primary insurer of mortgage lo-
ans. A month later, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), a $700 billion plan to pump taxpayer
cash into America's banks and financial institutions was approved by Congress.
Public officials generally agreed that the free market had failed. In November 2008, President Ge-
orge W. Bush came to New York to explain why he, a Republican president, had signed TARP into
law. "I'm a market-oriented guy, but not when I'm faced with the prospect of a global meltdown,"
he said.
But free-market capitalism had not melted down. Again, the problem was not that banks had been
too free, but that they had grown too dependent on government over the last few decades. Here's
a brief history.
America's first post-Depression bailout of a big bank came in 1984 when the Republican adminis-
tration of Ronald Reagan, with help from the Federal Reserve bailed out Continental Illinois, the
eighth largest commercial bank in the nation. The bailout introduced the phrase "too big to fail"
to the financial media's vocabulary.
The premise for rescuing Continental was simple: the bank had many global bondholders, big
investors, and the government feared that the bondholders might pull their money out of all Ame-
rican banks if they saw that a bank like Continental could fail. That might have stemmed a short-
-term panic, but it created a long-term monster. The government had effectively said to financial
markets: if you lend money to a big bank, it's just like lending money to the U.S. Treasury -- only it's
better because the banks will pay you more interest than you can get from your Treasury bonds.
And so money poured in from investors. The banks got bigger... and more reckless. And when the
next crisis rippled through the financial industry, there was Uncle Sam, ready with his checkbook.
In 1998 the government, this time under Democrat Bill Clinton bailed out Long-Term Capital Ma-
nagement, a hedge fund that teetered at the edge of bankruptcy and threatened to drag some big
banks down with it. The message to the banks was clearer than ever: take bigger risks. Uncle Sam
would be there, if any thing went wrong.
Indeed, as I noted, early in the crisis, in March 2008, the government brokered the purchase of the
Bear, Stearns investment bank (to JP Morgan) to save its bondholders and other creditors from su-
ffering huge losses. And that summer, Washington rescued Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the giant
government sponsored mortgage companies.
It's the fact that the government didn't rescue Lehman Brothers that set off the 2008 panic be-
Page 190
cause the financial world simply assumed that Uncle Sam would. Would we have been better off
had the government saved Lehman's? Maybe in the short run. But it's likely that crisis would have
occurred anyway. Because banks assumed that the government would always bail them out, their
risk models by 2008 were all out of whack; conservative practices, like lending only to credit-wor-
thy borrowers, a relic of the past.
What's the solution? How do we bring sanity back to the financial industry? Not by passing thou-
sands of new regulations. The banks' army of accountants, lawyers and lobbyists can always work
their way around those. The solution is that the government must stop guaranteeing the big banks'
losses. Only then will bondholders, the big investors like pension funds and insurance companies,
who lend the financial sector the money they need to operate, have an incentive to police the
industry.
It's that simple.

Who Should Win the Nobel Peace Prize?

If the Nobel Peace Prize was given out to people who truly made the world a more peaceful place,
one group would win every year: the United States military—the US Army, Air Force, Navy, and
Marines.
Now, you may be thinking, how can you award a peace prize to a group whose purpose is to fight
wars? Fair question. I'll tell you how: because the reason we are free, the reason anyone on earth
today is free, is ultimately thanks to the US military.
They saved the free world from German domination in the First World War. They saved the free
world from Japanese and German fascism in the Second World War. They saved the free world
from communism in the Cold War. And they're saving it now.
That might sound like an exaggeration, but only because they've protected us for so long. National
security—the protection of citizens from an external foe—is not a given; far from it. It's the pro-
duct of the hard work of American military men and women who stand guard 24 hours a day, 365
days a year, every year. And, they've been doing so for as long as any of us can remember.
The First World War, the Second World War, the Cold War, the Korean War, both Iraq Wars, the
Afghan War—these were all conflicts that the US tried to avoid. But they were wars that the US
fought not only for itself, but for good, decent and free people everywhere.
Page 195
Where the US military was not ultimately victorious—the Vietnam War—50 million people were
deprived of freedom of speech, of assembly, of press, of travel, and of religion. As many as two
million were brutally imprisoned and murdered.
The only reason South Korea isn't an open-air concentration camp like its northern neighbor is be-
cause America came to South Korea's defense nearly 70 years ago. To this day, we still have 30,000
troops stationed there to protect the free South from the unfree North.
And it's not just the open conflicts the American military resolves; it's the not-wars—all the con-
flicts that were never fought because our adversaries feared the consequences of American mili-
tary involvement.
Let's put it this way: The reason Iowa soybeans can be shipped from Seattle to Shanghai, or cof-
fee from Colombia to Cleveland is because the American military—specifically, the Navy—stands
guard over the world's shipping lanes. Block those lanes and the price of everything skyrockets,
and international commerce grinds to a halt.
Like it or not, the US military has been, and remains, as close to a global sheriff as exists on planet
Earth—on the beat, keeping the peace.
Don't believe me? Ask yourself this very simple question: What if China disarmed? Or Iran? Or
North Korea? Or Russia? Think the world would be a better or worse place? The question answers
itself.
Now, imagine if America disarmed. Think China stays out of Taiwan or Hong Kong? Iran out of Isra-
el? North Korea out of South Korea? Russia out of eastern Europe? And those are just state actors.
Islamists would quickly return, bolder and more vicious than ever.
In short, new conflicts would spring up and old ones reignite all over the world. Freedom would
be in retreat every single day.
That's the dystopian future of a world without the US military. And that's because across the globe
for the last 100 years and more, the bad guys have been thwarted—not only by the American mi-
litary, of course. But in every major conflict, American military force has been decisive.

Insane US laws you won't believe exist

Ah, dumb laws. Every state in the US has them, every state in the US knows they're nonsensical at
best, and yet they stick around because few states bother to repeal them, let alone strictly reinfor-
ce them. But the fact is, as quirky, weird, stupid, outlandish, and highly confusing these regulations
are, they are still technically the law in these states. Even though they were passed many years
ago and no longer make any sense in today's context. Even weirder, you can still get fined or char-
ged with misdemeanors for breaking some of them without having any idea they existed!
1. No getting drunk in bars
Where: Alaska
It's illegal to be drunk while in a bar in Alaska. Yes, a bar. You know, the one place people go speci-
fically to get drunk. People who are already drunk must not “knowingly” enter a bar to drink more
Page 200
either, nor can they remain in the bar where they got drunk in the first place. Basically, you must
use your own drunken “judgment” to decide the point at which you've had enough and kick your-
self out. Laugh all you want, but police still enforce this law.
Also illegal in Alaska: viewing moose from an airplane -- or pushing moose out of an airplane for
that matter, waking a sleeping bear to take a photo of it, and bringing flamingos into barber shops.
2. You must pronounce our state name correctly
Where: Arkansas
Before you make any plans to visit Arkansas, you better practice the proper pronunciation of the
state's name, or you could find yourself in hot water. State code strictly reinforces that “Arkansas”
is pronounced one way and one way only -- three syllables with the accent on the first and last
syllable, and a silent ‘s' at the end. They're having none of your Arkan-sass.
Also illegal in Arkansas: keeping alligators in bathtubs, getting a raise as a teacher after bobbing
your hair, killing any living creature whatsoever, and honking your horn at a sandwich shop after
9 pm.
3. No eating fried chicken with anything but your fingers
Where: Georgia
In Gainesville, Georgia, finger-lickin' chicken is not just a catchy slogan. It's literally the law. Since
1961, it has been illegal to use utensils to eat fried chicken in the self-proclaimed “poultry capital
of the world”, thanks to a publicity stunt that has remained part of the city code to this day. And
don't think they're too chicken to actually reinforce this cockamamie law nowadays. A tourist was
arrested for forking his fried chicken in 2009.
Also illegal in Georgia: carrying an ice cream cone in your back pocket on Sundays, using profanity
in front of a corpse at a funeral home, and keeping donkeys in bathtubs.
4. No greasing up pigs
Where: Minnesota
Okay, we understand that it gets a little boring in Minnesota sometimes during those long winters,
but oiling up pigs in your living room with the goal of trying to recapture the slippery swine is not
the most healthy or productive use of anyone's time. Apparently, pig greasing was so much of a
problem in the state that this ban had to be written into law in 1971.
Also illegal in Minnesota: sleeping naked, entering the state wearing a chicken or duck on your
head, driving a red car down Lake Street, eating hamburgers on Sundays, and standing around any
public building without having a reason to be there.
5. Don't buy junk from a drunk
Where: Wyoming
The fact this state regulation sounds more like a country music lyric than a law doesn't make it any
less real. Buying any kind of scrap metal or rubber, rags or paper from someone who is under the
influence of alcohol is strictly prohibited in the state.
Also illegal in Wyoming: being drunk in a mine, taking pictures of a rabbit between January and
April, shooting fish, failing to close a fence, and women standing within five feet of a bar while
drinking.

Prison may not work for them, but it works for us

Crooks who are in prison are not burgling your house. They themselves understand that perfectly
clearly: it is only sentimental mugs who don't.
The British intelligentsia and its long-held wish that the punishment imposed by the criminal
justice system should be therapeutic rather than merely protective and deterrent. According to
this view, if punishment fails to reform the criminal, then it is not only worthless but primitive and
cruel. This is so even if prison conditions are good.
However, criminals know very well the effectiveness of punishment: which is why they mete it out
to each other with the utmost celerity if one of them breaks their code.
By accepting the sentimentally therapeutic view of prison, intellectuals powerfully encourage the
bad faith of so many criminals, who know that, once more, they have society on the run. Here I am
reminded of a conversation I once had with a career burglar in prison.
‘I don't need prison, doctor,' he said. ‘I need help. Prison's no use to me.'
‘But it is of use to me,' I said.
‘What do you mean?'
‘Well, while you're in prison you're not burgling my house.'
The prisoner laughed that kind of laugh that I came to love, and that demonstrated to me that pri-
soners are by no means the dullards and dolts that they are often taken (by sentimentalists) to be.
He understood my point at once, without further explanation.
Whether it is desirable that wilful human behaviour such as criminality should be amenable to
some technical treatment or other – just like the removal of a brain tumor by surgery – is an open
Page 206
question; what is hardly in doubt is that such ‘treatment', except for general anesthesia, does not
exist.
An important feature of sentimentality — one that is disastrous in deciding policy — is the mis-
taking of a wish for the fact. We would like there to be some better method of dealing with crimi-
nals than imprisonment, therefore there is, and must be, such a method.
Criminologists tend to believe the criminal is the victim of an unjust society in which the goods
of this world were unequally, and therefore inequitably, distributed. Unemployment and poverty
cause crime, because there is a statistical association between them. Many criminals come from
broken homes, where alcoholism, drug-taking, single parenthood and serial stepfatherhood are
the accepted norm. Criminals are drawn to crime, therefore, as iron filings to a magnet: inanima-
tely, without a will of their own. And of course, it makes no more sense to punish them.
Indeed, to punish criminals would be both cruel and unjust, for they are now the inevitable pro-
ducts of their environment.
And this is the version of themselves that criminals have learned to present to doctors, social
workers, probation officers, lawyers and judges. The connection between a disastrous childhood
and lawbreaking is now so deeply entrenched in the public's mind that even the police accept it.
This often leads to a neutrality between the innocent victim and the guilty perpetrator of a crime.
Everyone knows in any case that the prospect of punishment has an effect on behaviour. The
slowing of drivers in the presence of police cameras is not caused by the sudden awakening of
conscience among them, who suddenly remember that excessive speed might kill innocents. It is
the prospect of fines that makes them slow down.
Criminals too know that punishment is effective. It is by means of punishment that prisoners
uphold their warped code of conduct in prison. Anyone who breaks that code is punished at once,
and severely; indeed, prisoners subscribe to the doctrine of collective responsibility. If for some
reason they can't punish the man himself, they'll punish his brother, cousin, friend or cell-mate.
Criminals understand the effects of punishment better than anyone else.

Gun Rights Are Women's Rights
Do you want equality between men and women? I do. Which is why I own a gun. My Glock 43 is
my equalizer.
Too NRA for you? Then, let's take a step back and think about this. I will start with this premise:
Men are physically stronger than women.
I know: even this is controversial these days. But men have more muscle mass and greater bone
density; they run faster, and punch harder. It's called “biology.”
If a woman is going to protect herself against a man who intends to do her serious harm, she needs
to even the odds. And what's the best way for her to do that? Own a gun — and know how to use it.
Given this, you would think that feminists would be lining up in front of gun shops, spending qua-
lity time at the shooting range, and filing for concealed carry permits. But when was the last time
you heard a feminist speak out for women owning guns? You haven't, because feminists aren't for
gun ownership. They're for taking guns away from women.
Well, you might say, if no one owned a gun, then everybody would be safer. Yes…and it would be
nice if cheesecake was a diet food.
There are over 300 million guns in the United States and that's not going to change any time
soon. But even if we could build a giant magnet, fly it across the country and snap up every gun, it
wouldn't much matter to women's safety.
In Great Britain, where it's almost impossible to get a gun, a woman is three times more likely to
be raped than in America, according to a study by David Kopel, a professor of constitutional law at
Denver University.
Here's another telling comparison between gun-free UK and gun-owning US: In the United States,
only about 13 percent of home burglaries take place when the occupants are home, but in the UK,
almost 60 percent do.
Professor Kopel explains the disparity: “American burglars . . . avoid occupied homes because of
the risk of getting shot. English burglars prefer occupied homes, because there will be wallets and
purses with cash.”
And, by the way, an assailant doesn't need a gun to be dangerous. What do you do if you're a wo-
man and a man comes at you with a knife? Or just his bare hands? If you want to depend on pepper
spray or a whistle, okay—but I think your finger on the trigger of a gun would be more effective.
Take the example of mail carrier Catherine Latta. After she had been assaulted and raped by her
ex-boyfriend, Latta tried to purchase a firearm. She was told it might take a month to get a permit.
“[I'll] be dead by then,” she recalls telling the clerk. That afternoon, she went to a rough part of
town and bought a handgun. Five hours later, her ex-boyfriend attacked her outside of her home.
She shot him in self-defense, and saved her life.
I should add that firing a gun is very rare. Just carrying it—let alone brandishing it—is a deterrent.
And, isn't that the issue? Personal safety? How is a woman supposed to defend herself? What if an
intruder breaks into her home?
Liberal TV personality Sherri Shepherd answered this question a few years ago.
“At one in the morning, the alarm in our house went off,” Shepherd told her co-hosts on the po-
pular daytime show, “The View.” As the alarm blared, her husband, Sal, went downstairs to look
around. If something happened to him, a terrified Shepherd realized, she had no way to protect
herself or her son, Jeffrey. “ ...All I had was this wicker basket…[I] don't have a bat, nothing.”
“‘We're going to get a gun,'” I told Sal. “[This] just made me realize how vulnerable you are if you
can't protect your home. And the police [were] wonderful; they came about seven minutes later,
but to me, that's seven minutes too late.”
Luckily for Shepherd, the incident was a false alarm. But there are lots of cases where the alarm
is real, especially in high crime areas. Yet every year, progressives push for more and more gun
Page 212
control without ever considering who will pay the price.
It won't be the bad guys. They always get the guns they want. It will be the good women who need
to equal the odds in a dangerous confrontation with a man.
Women owning guns shouldn't be a partisan issue. In fact, it's a women's rights issue.
I'm all for equality between the sexes. And I practice what I preach.
That's why I own a gun.

Was America founded to be secular?

What role should religion play in a free society? More and more people today would answer: none.
That would not have been the answer of the Founders of the United States – the men who fought
the American Revolution and wrote the country's Constitution.
To them the issue of religion and freedom were inextricably linked. You couldn't have freedom
without religion. In fact, the political philosophy of the Founders necessitated a divine foundation.
Thomas Jefferson makes this clear in the Declaration of Independence when he writes that “all
men…are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” The purpose of government,
Jefferson and his compatriots believed, was not to bestow rights; rather, it was to protect those
rights already endowed upon human beings by God.
But government isn't enough for a free society. A moral people is also required; that is, a people
moral enough to police itself. “Virtue or morality,” George Washington observed, “is a necessary
spring of popular government.” Thus, for the Founders, liberty was not merely the ability to do
what one wanted; it came with moral demands and boundaries.
They all accepted the rule of life expressed by Benjamin Franklin: “Nothing brings more pain than
too much pleasure; nothing more bondage than too much liberty.”
The Founders knew that the absolute enemy of freedom was – ironically – a freedom that was
absolute and unrestrained. And where was this restraint going to come from? Their answer was re-
ligion, which for them – because of when and where they lived – was some variety of Christianity.
“Let Divines, and Philosophers, Statesmen and Patriots unite,” Samuel Adams wrote, “[in] instruc-
ting [citizens] in the Art of self-government…in short, of leading them in the Study, and Practice of
the exalted Virtues of the Christian system.”
The Christian system to which Adams refers is composed of Judeo-Christian values – the values
rooted in the Old and New Testaments, both of which were referred to by the Founders with equal
conviction and frequency.
Jefferson – yes, the very same Thomas Jefferson who is so often portrayed as anti-religious – con-
firmed this sentiment in his Notes on the State of Virginia, when he asked: “[C]an the liberties of
a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds
of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? [And] that they are not to be violated but
with his wrath?”
Page 217
James Madison likewise affirmed the essential connection between religion and morality: “The
belief in a God All Powerful, wise, and good is. . . essential to the moral order of the world and to
the happiness of man. . . .”
John Adams believed that “the doctrine of a supreme, intelligent, wise, almighty sovereign of the
universe,” a doctrine he credited to Judaism, was the “great essential principle of all morality, and
consequently of all civilization.” And he applied this thinking specifically to the new nation he
helped to create: “Our Constitution,” he said, “was made only for a moral and religious people. It
is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
As President, he replied to a letter from university students in a way that would surprise many
today: “Science, liberty, and religion . . . have an inseparable union. Without their joint influence
no society can be great, flourishing, or happy.”
Meanwhile another Founder, Alexander Hamilton, looked at the French Revolution and saw some-
thing much different. That revolution, unlike the American Revolution, had devolved into violence
and chaos. Hamilton believed he understood why. The anti-religious force it unleashed, he wrote,
“annihilates the foundations of social order and true liberty, confounds all moral distinctions and
substitutes [for] the mild and beneficent religion of the Gospel a gloomy, persecuting, and deso-
lating atheism.”
For the Founders, a free society divorced from religion simply could not work and would not sur-
vive. It is no wonder then that in his Farewell Address, George Washington chastised those who
would claim to be patriots, and yet undermine the influence of religion: “Of all the dispositions
and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.
In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great
pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens.”
The Founders did not demand that anyone believe in any particular religion or even in God – quite
the contrary. But while they understood the value of a secular government, they feared a secular
society – one without religion.
So should we.

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew, 5-6)

5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples
came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.
The Beatitudes
He said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Page 223
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
(...)
6 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do,
you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the
synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their
reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right
hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in
secret, will reward you.
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the syna-
gogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their
reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who
is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you
pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many
words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
10 Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen

The United States Declaration of Independence
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of hu-
man events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have con-
nected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal
station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the
opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the sepa-
ration.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new
Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as
to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dicta-
te that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and
accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are
sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But
when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design
to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Gover-
nment, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance
of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Sys-
tems of Government.
(...)
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assem-
bled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the
Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That
these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Ab-
solved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and
the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent
States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce,
and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support
of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pled-
ge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
