  "Distinguished professors, gifted poets, and influential journalists summoned their talents to convince all who would listen that modern tyrants were liberators and that their unconscionable crimes were noble, when seen in the proper perspective.   Whoever takes it upon himself to write an honest intellectual history of 20th century Europe will need a strong stomach.   But he will need something more.   He will need to overcome his disgust long enough to ponder the roots of this strange and puzzling phenomenon." --- Mark Lilla 2001 _The Reckless Mind: Intellectuals in Politics_ pg198 (quoted in Thomas Sowell 2010 _Intellectuals & Society_ pg vi)

Proposed Bills 2019
 
 
  "Edward J. Erler points out that the author of the clause [of the 14th amendment], senator Jacob Howard, emphatically stated that those ‷subject to the jurisdiction‴ of the United States [of America] ‷will not, of course, include persons born in the United States [of America] who are foreigners‴ or ‷aliens‴.     IOW, the 14th Amendment was never intended to grant automatic citizenship of USA-born children of foreigners, and the supreme court erred in 1898 when it ruled otherwise.     (The court has never ruled that USA-born children of illegal aliens are citizens, although that too is current federal policy.)     Senator Howard's reading, enorsed by senator Lyman Trumbull, chairman of the senate Judiciary committee, and by the supreme court in the Slaughter House cases, is the only reading of the amendment that is consistent with the equality principle, according to which, as we showed above, no one can justly become a citizen of a nation without its consent.     The [polity's] first naturalization law of 1790 reflected the Founders' concern for republican character.     It required would-be citizens to apply ‷to any common law court of record in any of the states wherein he shall have resided,...and mak[e] proof to the satisfaction of such court that he is a person of good character‴.     (This could ordinarily be done by having a citizen sponsor testify on one's behalf.)     They also had to take ‷the oath or affirmation prescribed by law to support the constitution of the United States [of America]‴.     Most states had similar requirements for state citizenship.     Remnants of this concern for the character of new-comers survive today.     According to a 1989 government brochure, federal law generally forbids entry to any person who is a ‷beggar‴, has ‷committed a serious crime‴, is ‷coming for immoral sexual acts‴, or is otherwise morally objectionable.     Those being naturalized must learn the elementary facts of [USA] government and declare their allegiance to the [USA] constitution." --- Thomas G. West 1997, 2000 _Vindicating the Founders: Race, Sex, "Class", and Justice in the Origins of America_ pp166-167     (citing Edward J. Erler 1997 "Immigration and Citizenship" in Gerald Ed Frost 1996 _Loyalty MisPlaced: MisDirected "Virtue" and "Social" DisIntegration_ pp71-89;     Slaughter House cases 83 US 36, 73 (1873); USA v.

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.

  "I think that when this concept of peace of mind is introduced & made central to the act of technical work, a fusion of classic & romantic quality can take place at a basic level within a practical working context... you can actually see this fusion in skilled [workers] of a certain sort, & you can see it in the work they do. To say that they are not artists is to misunderstand the nature of art. They have patience, care & attentiveness to what they're doing, but more than this -- there's a kind of inner peace of mind that isn't contrived but results from a kind of harmony with the work in which there's no leader & no follower. The material & the craftsman's thoughts change together in a progression of smooth, even changes until his mind is at rest at the exact instant the material is right." --- Robert M. Pirsig 1974 _Zen & the Art of MotorCycle Maintenance_ pg 296
