FOR THE RECORD 1. Politics: Supreme Court Justice's Home to Be Seized? Talk about poetic justice! On Monday, June 27, real estate developer Logan Darrow Clements contacted the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire and stated he wanted to build a hotel on land located at 34 Cilley Hill Road. Not at all coincidentally, this is the current location of the home of...Justice David. H. Souter. Justice Souter was one of five justices who supported the outrageous "Kelo vs. City of New London" decision. That decision allows city governments to use eminent domain to take land from one private owner and give it to another, if the government will generate greater tax revenue or other economic benefits when the land is developed by the new owner. Following that logic with wonderful precision, Clements says the Towne of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits by replacing Mr. Souter's home with the proposed hotel. As Clements wrote the town government: "Although this property is owned by an individual, David H. Souter, a recent Supreme Court decision, "Kelo vs. City of New London" clears the way for this land to be taken by the Government of Weare through eminent domain and given to my LLC for the purposes of building a hotel. The justification for such an eminent domain action is that our hotel will better serve the public interest as it will bring in economic development and higher tax revenue to Weare." Souter's home appraises at a bit over $100,000. As the Boston Herald editorial board noted, with more than a touch of glee: "With Souter paying a mere $3,000 a year in property taxes, surely a little development would be good for the town's tax base." The town government reports that it has received numerous emails from across America enthusiastically supporting the hotel and urging the seizure of Souter's land. Clements' hotel is to be called "The Lost Liberty Hotel." It will feature the "Just Desserts Café" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. Every guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged." Clements indicated that the hotel must be built on this particular piece of land, because "it is a unique site, being the home of someone largely responsible for destroying property rights for all Americans." "This is not a prank," Clements says. "The Towne of Weare has five people on the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent domain to take this land from Mr. Souter we can begin our hotel development. … We will build a hotel there if investors come forward, definitely." Clements plans to raise investment capital from wealthy pro-liberty investors. He is being flooded with supportive emails. And he hopes that regular customers of the hotel might include libertarian organizations, who could hold meetings there.

Education: William Paterson University Tramples Student's Constitutional Rights William Paterson University in New Jersey has convicted student employee Jihad Daniel of "discrimination" and "harassment" -- without due process -- for describing homosexuality as a "perversion" in a private response to a professor's unsolicited announcement of a university event that promoted a positive view of lesbian relationships. "William Paterson's punishment of Mr. Daniel is a direct attack on freedom of speech," remarked David French, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), which intervened on Daniel's behalf. "For the university to convict a student of 'harassment' for sending a single, non-threatening e-mail dangerously trivializes real harassment." Daniel's "offense" took place on March 8, 2005, when he responded to an unsolicited e-mail from Professor Arlene Holpp Scala, chair of the department of women's studies, about a viewing and discussion of a film described as "a lesbian relationship story." Daniel privately replied to Professor Scala, requesting that he not be sent "any mail about 'Connie and Sally' and 'Adam and Steve.'" Daniel went on, "These are perversions. The absence of God in higher education brings on confusion. That is why in these classes the Creator of the heavens and the earth is never mentioned." On March 10, Professor Scala filed a complaint with the university's Office of Employment Equity and Diversity, accusing Daniel of violating university nondiscrimination policy because his message "sound[ed] threatening" and because she didn't want to "feel threatened at [her] place of work when [she] send[s] out announcements about events that address lesbian issues." Director of Employment Equity and Diversity John I. Sims subsequently proceeded to "investigate" Scala's complaint. On June 15, William Paterson President Arnold Speert wrote Daniel a letter of reprimand, stating that "the investigator concluded that since the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of 'perversion'…is clearly a 'derogatory or demeaning' term," Daniel therefore was guilty of violating state discrimination and harassment regulations. The president also wrote that the letter of reprimand would be placed in Daniel's permanent employee file. Daniel contacted FIRE for assistance and appealed Speert's decision on First Amendment grounds. President Speert responded that the constitutional argument was "beyond the scope of this finding" and that "the assessed penalty of a written reprimand must, therefore, stand as issued." "William Paterson University is knowingly disregarding the U.S. Constitution. No one here was 'harassed' or 'threatened' as defined by the law. The university simply strongly disliked a student's point of view," remarked Greg Lukianoff, FIRE's director of legal and public advocacy. "As the Supreme Court wrote in its seminal opinion in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, 'freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom.' William Paterson's administration would be well served by reading this compelling opinion." FIRE wrote President Speert on July 5 to protest William Paterson's unlawful actions and to remind this public university of its obligations to protect students' constitutional rights. FIRE pointed out that the university's decision "blatantly contradicts decades of Supreme Court decisions clarifying unlawful harassment and protecting freedom of expression," and that "William Paterson and its administrators cannot simply choose to ignore the First Amendment when it becomes inconvenient." On July 15, New Jersey Attorney General Peter C. Harvey responded to FIRE, asserting that "speech which violates a non-discrimination policy is not protected" by the First Amendment. Harvey also denied that the university had violated Daniel's due process rights, and stated that "the recommended penalty against Jihad Daniel will stand as issued," subject to yet another appeal by Daniel. "Just as the university is free to sponsor events discussing the issue of homosexuality, Mr. Daniel must be free to dissent. To claim that a nondiscrimination policy trumps his First Amendment rights is dishonest and unlawful," declared FIRE's Lukianoff. "William Paterson and the attorney general have decided that Mr. Daniel is guilty until proven innocent. FIRE will continue to fight such illiberal actions until Mr. Daniel's rights are vindicated."

Science: Fighting Bush's "Reefer Madness" Lies -- With the Truth The Bush administration is continuing the federal government's decades-long war of lies and misinformation about drugs in general, and marijuana in particular. The tone for Bush's Reefer Madness policy was set by a November 2002 "open letter" from the Drug Czar's office to America's prosecutors. That letter declared, "Nationwide, no drug matches the threat posed by marijuana," and urged law enforcement officials to "aggressively prosecute" marijuana violators. As NORML (the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) notes, that letter, "filled with half-truths and outright lies regarding marijuana's alleged dangers, purposely misrepresented the available research in an attempt to justify federal and state policies that result in the arrest of more than 650,000 Americans annually on minor marijuana possession charges. "The Bush Administration's latest rhetoric does not qualify as mere exaggeration; they are flat-out lying to the American public about marijuana." The best way to fight lies is with the truth. And NORML has now released a report to help concerned citizens do that. "The 2005 NORML Truth Report: Your Government Is Lying To You (Again) About Marijuana" relies on the federal government's own science, data, and statistics to rebut the Drug Czar's lies and distortions. The fully-footnoted report gives common-sense answers to the taxpayer-funded propaganda of the Bush administration. The report does "not" endorse recreational marijuana use. But it puts the issue in much-needed perspective. It's readable, short, fact-filled, and a good starting place for information for letters to the editor, political campaigns, or discussions with friends, neighbors, family members. Here is an excerpt (without footnotes). The entire report can be found at the URL at the end of this article. ALLEGATION #2: "Nationwide, no drug matches the threat posed by marijuana." [Drug Czar's office, 2002.] TRUTH: This statement is pure hyperbole. By overstating marijuana's potential harms, America's policy-makers and law enforcement community undermine their credibility and ability to effectively educate the public of the legitimate harms associated with more dangerous drugs like heroin, crack cocaine, and methamphetamine. In fact, almost all drugs -- including those that are legal -- pose greater threats to individual health and/or society than does marijuana. According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 46,000 people die each year from alcohol-induced deaths (not including motor vehicle fatalities where alcohol impairment was a contributing factor), such as overdose and cirrhosis. Similarly, more than 440,000 premature deaths annually are attributed to tobacco smoking. By comparison, marijuana is non-toxic and cannot cause death by overdose. In a large-scale population study of marijuana use and mortality published in the American Journal of Public Health, marijuana use, even long-term, "showed little if any effect … on non-AIDS mortality in men and on total mortality in women." After an exhaustive, federally commissioned study by the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 1999 examining all of marijuana's potential health risks, authors concluded, "Except for the harms associated with smoking, the adverse effects of marijuana use are within the range tolerated for other medications." (It should be noted that many risks associated with marijuana and smoking may be mitigated by alternative routes of administration such as vaporization.) The IOM further added, "There is no conclusive evidence that marijuana causes cancer in humans, including cancers usually related to tobacco use." A 2001 large-scale case controlled study affirmed this finding, concluding that "the balance of evidence … does not favor the idea that marijuana as commonly used in the community is a major causal factor for head, neck, or lung cancer." More recently, a 2004 study published in the journal Cancer Research concluded that cannabis use is not associated with an increased risk of developing oral cancer "regardless of how long, how much, or how often a person has used marijuana." Numerous studies and federally commissioned reports have endorsed marijuana's relative safety compared to other drugs, and recommended its decriminalization or legalization. Virtually all of these studies have concluded that the criminal "classification of cannabis is disproportionate in relation both to its inherent harmfulness, and to the harmfulness of other substances." Even a pair of editorials by the premiere British medical journal, The Lancet, acknowledge: "The smoking of cannabis, even longterm, is not harmful to health. … It would be reasonable to judge cannabis as less of a threat … than alcohol or tobacco." Indeed, by far the greatest danger to health posed by the use of marijuana stems from a criminal arrest and/or conviction. Source: The 2005 NORML Truth Report (Thanks to James W.

QUOTES OF THE MONTH: Just to Show You Things Haven't Changed From Ancient Times
ZEN FOR THOSE WHO TAKE LIFE TOO SERIOUSLY
Some interesting & provocative articles on other websites: GET 'EM, GEORGE! - Pataki leads the charge against bad art, By Matt Taibbi: There has always been something monstrously cynical about these make-believe art controversies of the Piss Christ genre, a phenomenon resurrected here in New York last week with the 48-hour press freakout over the "anti-American" artwork of the Drawing Center, a museum slated to move to the Ground Zero site. The cynicism, it should be noted, is usually evident on both sides of the controversy. Oscar Wilde once described an English gentleman on a foxhunt as being the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable. George Pataki denouncing A Glimpse of What Life Can Be Like in a Free Country #6 is the shameless in pursuit of the talentless. Claremont Institute at the Supreme Court, By Ken Masugi and John C. Eastman: The last days of the Supreme Court term reflected the particular strengths of the Claremont Institute, our dedication to restoring and applying the principles of the American political tradition to the contemporary world. Our briefs and arguments made their mark on the opinions, especially those of Justice Clarence Thomas. First, note the amicus (friend of the Court) briefs our Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence filed in one of the two Ten Commandments cases and the homeowners' rights case, Kelo v. City of New London. (These briefs can be found on our CCJ website). We will then explore their implications for a free and virtuous California, which our work at the Center for Local Government emphasizes. The Bait and Switch of "Intelligent Design" Creationism, By Keith Lockitch: "Intelligent Design" is religion masquerading as science. Eighty years after the famous Scopes "Monkey" Trial, the anti-evolution forces have regrouped. Today, the battle in school districts from Kansas to Pennsylvania is over the teaching of "intelligent design," the view that life is so complex it must be the product of a "higher intelligence." Advocates of "intelligent design" try to portray themselves as a modern-day Scopes, victims of a dogmatic pro-evolution establishment that will not allow their scientific view into the schools. But the central issue is whether "intelligent design" is, in fact, a genuine scientific theory or merely a disguised form of religious advocacy, creationism in camouflage. Victory in Pennsylvania, By David Horowitz: Last night, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives by a vote of 111-87 passed a resolution on behalf of intellectual diversity and academic freedom for all the public universities and colleges in the state. The resolution was squarely based on the Academic Bill of Rights. This was a tremendous victory for academic freedom not only in Pennsylvania but for states that are watching these results across the nation. Opposition to the resolution, from the teacher unions &endash; the American Association of University Professors, the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers, and all their allies in local Pennslvania media &endash; was fierce, and their defeat is that much more bitter as a result. But in the end, they had an indefensible position: opposition to the pluralism of ideas, the very heart and soul of the American social contract. Universe in crisis as experts question Big Bang model: The widely accepted idea that the universe began with a Big Bang could be wrong, according to astrophysicists who took part in a "Crisis in cosmology" meeting in Portugal and reported in this month's Physics World magazine. According to the standard Big Bang theory, the universe began in a hot dense fireball about 13 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. But despite plenty of evidence to support the theory, not everyone is convinced. Getting the Monkey off Darwin's Back - Four Common Myths About Evolution: Nearly 150 years after Charles Darwin published On The Origin of Species, the theory of evolution is still widely misunderstood by the general public. Evolution isn't a fringe theory, and it's not difficult to understand, yet recent surveys reveal that roughly half of Americans believe that humans were created in their present form 10,000 years ago (Brooks 2001, CBS 2004). The same number reject the concept that humans developed from earlier species of animals (National Science Board 2000). Philosophy repeated as farce - Radio 4's poll to find the world's 'greatest philosopher' gives Marx the Monty Python treatment, by Ciaran Guilfoyle: Radio 4's intellectual daytime show In Our Time is currently running a poll to determine who is the world's greatest philosopher. Karl Marx is reportedly in the lead. As far as I am concerned, this question was satisfactorily resolved by Monty Python over 30 years ago. From the Pythons we know, for example, that David Hume could out-drink the German philosophers Schopenhauer and Hegel... Flat Earth mythology, By Carolyn Moynihan: The medievals didn't believe in a flat earth; the Galileo affair was a beat-up; and missionaries were great scientists. Any other questions about the conflict between religion and science? Galileo's trial for heresy four centuries ago remains the heavy artillery in a theory that religion and science are inevitably at war -- with the good guys on the side of science and the villains in the church. But recent historical scholarship suggests that this thesis is largely based on myths promoted by individuals with agendas of their own. Who's really open?, by John Stossel: Where I work (in network TV) and live (on the Upper West Side of Manhattan), people say "conservative" the way they say "child molester." It's the worst thing to be called. Everyone here agrees: Conservatives are repressive, while liberals are open-minded and think it's important to hear a diverse range of voices. Except, of course, if those voices aren't liberal. Glasgow's diet was healthier in 1405, by JIM MCBETH: GLASWEGIANS in 1405 had a better diet than the citizens of 2005, eating their "five-a-day" 600 years ahead of its time. Even their light beer was healthier than sugar-laden fizzy concoctions that are today's favourite, according to new archaeological evidence. It reveals a diet of porridge and small amounts of pork and fish made medieval mealtime more nutritious than a visit to the chippy, the pizza parlour or the ubiquitous American fast food joints. Cardinal says Catholics can believe that God guided evolution: Washington Cardinal Theodore McCarrick says Catholics don't have to believe in Creationism -- the Bible's account of God creating Adam and Eve and the universe in six days. McCarrick told reporters at the National Press Club that instead of what he called "the beautiful story of Genesis," Catholics can believe in evolution -- as long as it's understood to have been guided by God rather than chance. Signs of Intelligence? - What the neo-Darwinists don't understand about theories of Intelligent Design, by Isaac Constantine: IF YOU'VE BEEN CASTING A SIDELONG GLANCE at the world through the liberal press of late you've likely been alarmed by the latest faith-based assault on science and rationality. You might have been moved, despite your better instincts--born of the sad knowledge of hope's futility in the new Dark Age of George W. Bush's Evangelical Crusade at home and abroad--but perhaps you couldn't suppress the tepid delight at having your biases affirmed in the gallant counterassault on Darwin's religious assailants by Evolution's latter day devotees. The last defenders of Reason fight on in bold, quixotic determination, allied with the chattering presses, preaching to the choir in the name of their ancestral hero. Let's dance - Viennese cardinal waltzes into U.S. evolution flap, By Agostino Bono [Catholic News Service]: Can a bespectacled, balding 60-year-old cardinal in Vienna waltz his way into a flap in the United States? Definitely yes. The orchestration was proposing that the Catholic faith and aspects of evolutionary thinking are not good dancing partners. His suggestion stepped on the toes of those who see no conflict, while it swayed rhythmically with supporters of "intelligent design." L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology's esteemed founder, By Michael Crowley: Our summer of Tom Cruise's madness and Katie Holmes' creepy path toward zombie bridedom has been a useful reminder of how truly strange Scientology is. By now those interested in the Cruise-Holmes saga may be passingly familiar with the church's creation myth, in which an evil, intergalactic warlord named Xenu kidnaps billions of alien life forms, chains them near Earth's volcanoes, and blows them up with nuclear weapons. Strange as Scientology's pseudo-theology may be, though, it's not as entertaining as the life story of the church's founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Organisms' purpose rooted in process thought - Even the smallest living organisms have purpose and experiences, according to Harvard professor Ross Stein, By Thomas Jay Oord: DUBLIN, Ireland -- Even the smallest living organisms have innate purpose and experiences, according to Ross Stein, an associate professor in the neurology department at Harvard Medical School. Director of Harvard's laboratory for drug discovery in neurodegeneration, Stein said all life forms -- including the most basic units such as molecules -- are experiential. For example, he said enzymes, which are protein molecules, "are subjects that enjoy experience." A solution to the stem cell debate?, by Mona Charen: Medical science may be able to settle a contentious and damaging fight between Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, and yet few have taken any notice. Appearing before the Senate Labor, Health, and Human Services subcommittee last week, Dr. William Hurlbut, a professor in the Human Biology program at Stanford and a member of the President's Council on Bioethics, outlined a number of scientific methods for obtaining embryonic stem cells that would not involve destroying developing human embryos. This is big news. Yet Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, displaying a prodigious capacity for missing the point, brushed it off, declaring that "We already know how to derive stem cells." The Myth of Millions of Years - Creationist cosmology is full of wormholes, by Ronald Bailey: Things really went wrong for people of faith 200 years ago, when modern science got going. So says Dr. Terry Mortenson in his lecture on "Two Hundred Years of Christian Compromise on the Age of the Earth." In his book, The Great Turning Point, Mortenson details how 19th century Christian theologians fell for the arguments of secular geologists who were pushing an "old Earth" interpretation of the geological record. Should Your Personal Life Be an Affair of State?, by Charley Reese: Should your personal life be an affair of state? That's what divides libertarians and true conservatives from the modern Jacobins who falsely wear the label of "liberal" or "moderate." The libertarian/true-conservative position is that your private and personal affairs are not the business of the state as long as you refrain from applying force or fraud against your fellow citizens. The Jacobin position is that your life belongs to the state and your personal interests may be sacrificed for the common good, which, of course, the Jacobins will define. Should Your Next CEO Be a Philosopher?: What differentiates a winning company from an also-ran? For many analysts and investors, the answer involves technology, which increasingly permeates every step of a business's operations. But according toa Wharton professor andan Israeli venture capitalist, a company's ability to understand its customers' philosophical outlook may be as vital to its success as R&D and other efforts. What Catholic Workers Advocate: We advocate - Personalism, a philosophy that regards the freedom and dignity of each person as the basis, focus and goal of all metaphysics and morals. In following such wisdom, we move away from a self-centered individualism toward the good of the other. This is to be done by taking personal responsibility for changing conditions, rather than looking to the state or other institutions to provide impersonal "charity." We pray for a Church renewed by this philosophy and for a time when all those who feel excluded from participation are welcomed with love, drawn by the gentle personalism Peter Maurin taught. New philosophy professor finds science seriously fun: As professor Niall Shanks opens the front door of his new home near Wichita State University, two rottweilers and a Staffordshire bull terrier charge to the entrance. To his beloved Gnasher and Brutus -- The Lummocks came later -- Shanks dedicated his 2004 book "God, the Devil, and Darwin: A Critique of Intelligent Design Theory." Such playfulness belies the image of the atheist philosopher whose frequent public debates make him possibly the most vocal defender of evolution and critic of intelligent design in the nation. Commandments only begin to define ethics, by Judy Letso: The Ten Commandments are found in the Old Testament of the Bible, but are by no means the first rendering of such guidelines for human behavior. Students of comparative religion can trace these guidelines back thousands of years and find similar ones in religions other than and older than Christianity. It might be a good thing for this country if someone did enough research to create a monument to the world's guidelines, including those of the American Indians, for harmonious relationships among people, one that could be placed in every school, every courthouse and every city square. The evolution of George Gilder - The author and tech-sector guru has a new cause to create controversy with - intelligent design, By Joseph P. Kahn: Crank. Con artist. Blithering ignoramus. Dishonest hack bent on corrupting the education system. George Gilder has absorbed shots before, from feminists, Democrats, liberal economists, and angry investors, among others. Yet even Gilder, seemingly a lightning rod for the socioeconomic controversy of the moment, was blistered by the comments posted on a University of Minnesota biologist's weblog last fall, language so heated Gilder's daughter felt obliged to rush to his defense. Phillip Johnson's Assault Upon Faith-Based Darwinism - A modern monkey trial isn't what Phillip Johnson expected when he wrote a critique of evolution that launched intelligent design -- or was it?, By Justin Berton: When fevered creationists gather outside a Dover, Pennsylvania, courtroom this fall, Berkeley's Phillip E. Johnson will probably shake his head in disapproval. Like many East Bay residents, the emeritus Boalt Hall law professor will watch uneasily if people waving Bibles make an intemperate attack on evolution in support of the doctrine known as "intelligent design." The September trial promises to be a historic moment for the intelligent-design movement -- conceivably as important as the infamous Scopes "Monkey Trial" of 1925 was to the teaching of evolution. Last October, in the first case of its kind, the Dover Area School Board required science teachers to read ninth graders a short statement about Darwin's theory of evolution. The problem with Darwinian solutions: Sean Carroll and Michael Ruse argue that "evo devo" undermines intelligent design - ID advocate William Dembski begs to differ, by William A. Dembski: Despite its early potential, evolutionary developmental biology &emdash; evo devo for short -- has yet to make good on its promise. In his review of Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Sean Carroll's new book on evo devo, Michael Ruse faults intelligent design (ID) for harping on evolution's unsolved problems. Moreover, Carroll as well as Ruse suggest that evo devo has now resolved one of the major problems on which design theorists have been harping. Wrong on both counts. Intelligent design does not have a problem with problems. It has a problem with bogus solutions that Darwinists like Ruse and Carroll dress up as real solutions to the problems of biological origins.
