 The Federalist papers, are the foundation text of constitutional interpretation, and  are cited by American jurists and court systems in general.  Madison Understood that politicians and the individuals in public service would all have ideas that they were passionate about and that they wanted to enact. The federalist system was the solution to make sure that laws and ideas were not enacted by a small group of partisan individuals. To achieve this, the use of different levels of government had to be done by  different branches. Each branch having the authority to impact legislation proposed by other branches. One way Federalist 51 was able to encourage checks and balances was by emphasizing that justice was the end to which civil society aims. That it be it be pursued "until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit". Madison echoing such thinkers as Hobbes, "the weaker individual is not secured against the violence of the stronger". Madison asserted ...

 Travis was someone I met in Northern California while at Lassen Community College. He was a 19 year old young man, with a wild but centered spirit. While at Lassen we had some good times. Some of the best I ever had at Lassen. I he met his wife Linda there. They will be married 35 years in August. Travis and Linda are the finest people I have ever met. Much better character than my own. Travis and I had road trip adventures together. Including a dead of winter trip to Crater Lake Oregon in the dead of winter. I climbed up what I thought was a hill, but turned out to be a building in a huge snow drift. I drove Travis and Linda from Lassen to San Diego, for a two day road trip. We all had a good time, I saw my uncle and cousin. We would drink and have a good time. Good times, classify these as good times.  The world is a better place for his having come, and will be a lesser place for him having gone. Rest easy my friend. You have it coming. One less to toast, one more to mourn...

  It is not a good political strategy. If he pisses off Zelinski enough, and alienates the Ukrainian people, when we have to go over there and get what we need, they will hate us for the next three generations, if the Ukrainians last that long as a people. Zelinski and the Ukrainians would rather die on their feet, than die on their knees, at the feet of Russians. Trump could have made a deal for minerals, and oil. That would help this country, but instead tried to bully a weaker person. That will come back to bite him in the ass, all because he wants to appease his but buddy Putin. He told Zelinski that he didn't have the cards, well Donnie boy, your cards aren't any better. Don't get me started on that hillbilly moron MAGA mutt Vance. For someone who attended prestigious institutions of higher learning, he is still hillbilly stupid. You can take the hillbilly out of the holler, but can't take the holler out of the hillbilly. His ass was just lucky to be there. He shou...

  I care less about what happened in the past, other than to learn from it. That is its only value. Humans don't make hurricanes, and tornadoes, those are naturally occurring. We do have something to do with the severity, length, and frequency of them both. We can't exist in the environment without having an impact on it, both negatively, and positively. That is a fact and it is not in dispute, what is in dispute is to what degree our existence impacts the environment. People quit watching the legacy news because they don't like the message, which devoid of entertainment, they in turn watch Fox News, because it is entertainment and not news. Entertainment since it began in the public domain has pandered to the lowest common denominator of the human character. Entertainment has no substance, just emotion. It makes us feel different, but does not enlighten us. I forgive, but I am not looking for forgiveness, or absolution, not from anyne in this world anyway. In this count...

  Your problem is that your vision encompasses the past. Which is good and bad. Bad in the sense that is not where society, the economy, technology or humanity are going, and good to see past mistakes, and avoid them on the way forward. The past is only needed for remembrance, and understanding. Understanding our mistakes, and remembering not to make them again. He is fake. Take a closer look at what he is dynamic, about. He is not forceful, he is reactionary. You mistake a narcissist bravado for dynamic. You see what he wants you to see, which is a perception. In life, and politics perception is neither reality nor truth, it is merely slight of hand illusion. with He is not capable. He only understands how to manage, not govern, managing is leading the few, governing is leading for the many. There is a difference. As for running the country like a business, when there is a profit, who gets the dividend. Trump is fake. Take a closer look at what he is dynamic, about. He is not f...

 That is why the war on drugs failed. The government can't legislate morality effectively. As human beings with our own devices, will fall back on our vices. Remember; knowledge is the path to being whoever you want, and the power to be who you will be. I f he wants to prosper in hell, he needs to neotiate with the devil. Remember the okd saying, "If I owned Texas and hell, I woulld rent out Texas anbd live in hell." Well to do that, one has to deal with the devil. That is how it is forTommy and Monte's wife.
