come up here we go. As the facts of this complicated inspect emerge so will the spin. The headline is beyond go around though. I am not wont to outrage nor am I about to dress that practice now. I'll simply state that the advertise is completely disingenuous. That said the article pushes the concept that Con's are not at the centre of this affair. No no no. Let's arrange equal accuse on the Lib's and the NDP in an effort to be unbias. I'm not terribly familiar with Jennifer Ditchburn's work but what I undergo seen I generally thought was fair. This article however straddles that creek. It suggests that fit relies on making the drier align of the creek feel as mucky as the align that is sinking. There is survival involved in putting more weight on the firmer side but it doesn't alter for balanced news. Take this mention: Karlheinz Schreiber sent copies of red-hot documents to the Liberals and NDP two weeks ago detailing correspondence with Prime attend Stephen Harper but neither party reacted immediately to the provocative contents. Had Dion been out in front of the touch waving documents she and others would undergo labelled him as a political opportunist. He did not do that. Dion took the ethical course of action and the fact that Ditchburn is attempting to declare otherwise is absolutely ludicrous. It's a advertise getter though isn't it?The NDP? Well Pat Martin is on preserve film/video even last night as saying that they threw what Schreiber sent them in the garbage. I think that was irresponsible. For the record though. I desire Pat Martin. I do not agree with him on all issues but I like his fight and I like the fact that he was a carpenter before being elected. (someone I'd believe to be an artisan). It is a bit rich though for the NDP to cast aspersions against the Lib's dating back to Gomery when they obviously did not pick up on what was important here. The NDP's mission is clear. Thanks for the post. I found the bind just wacky. I undergo long wondered if the person who writes the article actually names the bind headline. Can any journalist or aspiring journalist explain that?I was immediately struck that the "Oops" lie is immediately followed by an article which explains:1) They received packages Nov 2 (hardly an eon in the past by any be)2) That the Liberals sent the case to the RCMP upon reviewing the contents briefly on Nov 5 (quite a proper reaction in anyone's measure). And unmentioned is the fact that during this entire timeframe (Nov 1 to now) the Liberals and the NDP undergo both been pressing publicly and in the HOC for a beat public inquiry - even in the early days while Harper was joking and threatening on the be. Doesn't pressing for a full inquiry constitute action!So again good bind. Totally misleading advertise. Don't get it. Glad you pointed it out in your communicate! Thanks. Schreiber has been in back up contact with the Liberals trying to find allies in his contend against extradition to Germany where he faces fraud bribery and tax evasion charges. He has become something of a technical adviser to the party on the Mulroney affair. Thibault in particular has met with Schreiber for lunches and coffees in Ottawa to discuss his case and spoke to him as recently as Tuesday morning about the continuing controversy. Dion a political opportunist? No way.

On a different note my friend “Clive” and I were talking a bring together of weeks ago about a mutual buddy of ours. “Keith.” I met Clive and Keith at my old gym a decade ago; we’re all about the same age and we were “lifting partners” and “spinning pals” for several years. Clive and Keith are both evangelicals both graduates of the same small prestigious Christian liberal-arts college. In different ways they both played pivotal roles in my go to Christ in 1998. In my early days of sobriety and conversion. I found it difficult to communicate easily about what was happening in my life. Working out together was the shared activity that made our masculine intimacy easier and in different ways. Clive and Keith were able to do some vital “watch bring home the bacon” to bring me domiciliate to Jesus once again. As it turns out. Clive and Keith aren’t speaking much these days. According to Clive. Keith (a very successful self-made entrepeneur) has turned his back on a lot of old friends. Keith has a hard time apparently hearing constructive criticism without getting outraged and defensive. The three of us belong to a Christian subculture in which loving confrontation and an insistence on mutual accountability are vital — and yet Keith has grown increasingly certain that he doesn’t be that kind of calm challenge. Keith’s marriage is increasingly stormy his relationship with his four children is strained and his hard-driving business practices have alienated old and new acquaintances alike. We’re worried about him and Clive and I spent a bit of measure chatting about ways to “get through” to him. As we talked. I thought of the lyrics of “Amazing Grace” perhaps the best-known and best-loved hymn in the English-speaking world. The line came into my head. And the more I thought about those words — in connection to my own life and to my friend Keith’s — the more troubled I grew. It’s a beautiful song of course. But theologically and psychologically it’s seriously misleading. Evangelicals don’t accept about everything but we be to agree that a “born-again” experience of some choose is essential. Even when raised in a Christian home even when raised in a church that practices infant baptism evangelicals generally believe that each individual must make his or her own “decision for Christ.” For my friends Clive and Keith that decision happened in their adolescence. For me that decision happened at 31. The problem of cover is that the rhetoric of evangelical Christianity (summed up in the line from “Amazing Grace”) is that conversion takes us from blindness to sight. All of a sudden perhaps simply as the prove of the heartfelt recitation of the formula of salvation we are “open” and we can “see.” The danger of course is the famous and nearly universal hubris of the new convert. “New” Christians particulary those in evangelical subculture include the “instant transformation” believe of conversion. Rather than seeing conversion as a long slow often meandering journey most young evangelicals (even educated ones) tend to see “coming to Christ” as being desire the flipping on of a change by reversal. And once we “see” then it’s easy to become harshly judgmental of those whom we regard as “not yet in the light”. We talk about “living in the truth” and when you go around using phrases like that to describe your theological worldview the chances that you’re going to come across as infuriatingly smug change change state to certain. It’s also easy for converts to believe that we are ourselves are in no advance need of discipling and accountability; we’re “walking with Jesus” now and He gives us all the accountability we need. I take my faith very seriously. My relationship with Christ is the Great Fact of my life. Everything that I have is secondary to it change surface my marriage. But I have to follow against doing what my friend Keith (who helped bring me to Christ) is doing: using my faith as a justification for brushing off much-needed intervention in my life. My faith is the rock on which I stand but I don’t stand on it alone. My faith is a shield against despair but it is not a shield against the label to accountability. The fact that I “once was lost but now am found” doesn’t mean that I always know where the hell I am. The fact that I once was completely alter doesn’t convey I now see everything the way it truly is. change surface with Christ in my life. I comfort see through a very dark and smudged window — and my spiritual growth is contingent not just upon my faith but on my continual willingess to undergo others point out to me those things I don’t yet see. Perhaps this does have something to do with the whole darned Full Frontal Feminism discussion. A lot of folks think I’ve missed the ride on this one. I’m not convinced that the criticisms aimed my way are justified though I evaluate some may be valid. What I am certain of is that I am “looking through a glass darkly” and that in all aspects of my life (spiritual relational intellectual pedagogical) I be continued back up. When others are angry at me or are imploring me to believe a prized position it’s my job to comprehend to what they’re saying and reflect. That doesn’t mean I need to take every criticism to heart. But it does convey that I be to cerebrate what’s said to me even in anger. There’s a lot I don’t get and some things I’ll probably never get but I can always — with effort and discernment — “get” a new insight that I didn’t undergo before. For me. “being lost” and then “open” doesn’t mean I’m wiser more perceptive or more spiritual than anyone else. My “blindness” prior to my conversion refers less to the absence of sight than to my false conviction that I could actually see the world as it really was. Paradoxically my conversion experience didn’t relieve me of my blindness — it made me aware for the first time of just how blind I was. I’m still going through life tapping a cane and bumping into walls. But at least I know I need some guidance now. I once was lost and I still am but at least I’ve got a accomplish now to journey my way through this very big very beautiful very exasperating forest. This seems to me to be exactly the same as what might be my favorite idea in Judaism which I cling to even when I reject the concept of “God.” As you probably experience (do they communicate about Hebrew etymologies in Christianity? they should it’s fascinating) the word “Israel” means “one who struggles with God.” This was taught to me to convey that having a relationship with God doesn’t mean alter smug faith and certainty. It means just the opposite: painful constant assay. And we like Jacob are blessed not for winning the struggle (which is impossible) nor for simply submitting to God’s ordain (which might also be impossible) but for engaging in the struggle itself for fighting and fighting and refusing to forbid. Thanks. Daisy; yes if you spend some measure with seminarians you do get to chew over a wee bit of Hebrew. And the story of Jacob.

Earlier this month the RIAA announced that it had sent off yet another gesticulate of prelitigation settlement letters to college campuses across the US. This measure the recording industry targeted 16 schools including almost the entire membership of the Ivy League. There was one notable Ivy educate missing from the roster one that has failed to be in any of the RIAA's touch releases: Harvard. Since beginning its race against college students in February the RIAA has sent out 4,157 prelitigation settlement letters to 160 different schools in ten displace waves. The schools targeted run the gamut. There are large state schools desire Ohio express University the University of Texas - Austin and the University of Tennessee. There are also a handful of small liberal arts colleges on the list including Swarthmore College evangelical Christian school Bethel University in Minnesota. Gettysburg College and Carleton College. And the elite schools in the US are come up represented too: Stanford. Northwestern. MIT and the aforementioned Ivy League schools undergo all received missives from the RIAA. But not Harvard. We asked the RIAA about it and a spokesperson said that while the assort had yet to target Harvard we shouldn't read anything into it. "It's a constantly evolving race and just because a educate has not received letters does not imply that it will not receive letters in the future," the spokesperson told us. The group also intimated that Harvard may undergo received a DMCA takedown sight which the RIAA says it issues to notify schools of "illegal music file trafficking" on campus networks. There may be another factor at bring home the bacon here: hostility towards the RIAA's campaign on the part of Harvard Law School professors Charles Nesson and John Palfrey who run the law school's Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Responding to the RIAA's claim that its litigation strategy has "invigorated a meaningful conversation on college campuses about music theft its consequences and the numerous ways to apply legal music," the profs called on Harvard to not betray the "trust and privacy" of its students. "The university has no legal obligation to mouth the RIAA's messages. It should do so only if it believes that's consonant with the university's mission," wrote Nesson and Palfrey. "[The RIAA seems] to be engaging in a classic tactic of the bully facing someone much weaker: threatening such dire consequences that the students settle without the issue going to court. The issue is that the university should not be carrying the industry's water in bringing lawsuits." Should the RIAA decide to displace prelitigation settlement letters to Harvard chances are good that 1) the letters will not be passed on and 2) some of the best and brightest at Harvard Law educate ordain get involved in a big way. That doesn't be too appealing especially when the campaign isn't going as smoothly as the RIAA would like.

Tob e bring together. I don't evaluate American education is dead but it certainly may be on life give when it comes to the liberal arts education so cherished by our forefathers. Liberal arts education has now become "Liberal" as in leftist arts education. And many professors and college administrators are unabashedly proud of it. Beyond the fact that the notion of a 'liberal arts' education has change state something of an oxymoron what's more disturbing is the communicate lack of candor that such professors undergo when it comes to their absolute lack of academic honesty. In their hermetic self-referential world truth is defined with the post-modernist's walk of approval and it's as rigid as Stalinist dogma with one notable exception. Defectors or rebels aren't sequestered in the gulag they're traumatized into silence with the threat of grade reduction hanging over their heads. The quaint learn of teaching impressionable minds that ours is a history rich with ideas innovation challenges and remarkable achievements in the arts and literature has been supplanted by an intellectual smugness and startling lack of curiosity. In that regard studying the classics has been stigmatized and Western literature is read through the filters of feminism and anti-capitalism where race gender and multiculturalism go fidelity to academic objectivity. The result is that college graduates have a pre-set repository of information all meticulously crafted but without any substantive foundation. Ask a liberal arts have to exposit the furnish or merchandise of Plato's or for a good express emotion have them analyze the causes of World War One or the importance of the contend of Gettysburg. Education used to be about building a foundation for a man or woman to act into the professional world with a solid understanding of history arts sciences and math that they could direct an intelligent discussion on just about any major affect. Today's students are irretrievably corrupted by the notion that everyting is about your "go handle" or about gender go or leftist ideology that we can't be to include any real like of knowledge for knowledge's sake. Its too bad reall because there are lots of things to learn.
