California Attorney General Jerry Brown On The Fairness Doctrine "A Little
2009-02-15 15:53:00 Audio from Michael Savage here. More on this from World Net Daily:"A little state control wouldn't hurt anybody," declared Jerry Brown, California's Democrat attorney general, in on air comments yesterday about the possible reinstatement of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine.""You have a point of view and I have a point of view and they are different. I think the clash can sometimes illuminate the two better than just a one sided presentation," stated Brown, during an exclusive interview with Michael Savage broadcast on the top talker's national radio show.Savage countered by positing any revival of the "Fairness Doctrine" is aimed at muting conservative talk radio. Brown replying by stating Savage's suggestion had the "tinge of paranoia."It "would not apply to any other element of the media. It's aimed strictly at us in the minority in the media," Savage shot back. "And they want us controlled and constrained and removed from the airwaves. They only want to hear progressive voic...

Plant workers: Fairness at stake in prayer dispute
2008-09-19 17:55:00 Plant workers: Fairness at stake in prayer dispute GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) - Melissa Infante sat in her car smoking a cigarette, knowing she was supposed to be packaging meat at the JBS Swift & Co. plant where she’s worked for nearly two years. But she’d walked off the job Thursday morning to protest a schedule change she believes unfairly catered to Muslim workers at the plant, shrugging off warnings from supervisors that she could be fired. “To me, it’s just not fair,” Infante said. On Monday, hundreds of Muslim employees were the first to walk off the job, saying they weren’t being allowed to take a break to pray during the holy month of Ramadan. Break times were then altered on the second shift so the Muslim employees, mostly Somali, could make their fourth of five daily prayers at sunset. Then hundreds of non-Muslim workers walked off the job in counterprotests Wednesday and Thursday morning. Later Thursday, plant managers did an about-f...

Fairness Doctrine Issue In Indiana Congressional Race
2008-06-24 07:04:00 Photo by jurvetson A candidate for Indiana’s second district congressional seat has taken a stance against the “Fairness Doctrine,” saying that instead of fostering speech, imposing requirements for “fairness” will actually limit free speech because it will make radio stations afraid to air controversial viewpoints, commentaries and talk radio shows. Says Republican Luke Puckett on the “Fairness Doctrine“: I strongly support Rep. Mike Pence’s effort to keep the Fairness Doctrine from coming back. The Fairness Doctrine is simply a thinly veiled attempt to muzzle the free speech rights and freedom of association rights of broadcasters, show hosts and listeners. We must not let it be reinstated now or at any time in the future. While fairness is an admirable goal, when the “Fairness Doctrine” was in effect, there weren’t any radio talk shows — either on the left or the right — because radio executives were fe...
Serotonin may affect our sense of fairness
2008-06-07 00:57:00 UCLA release - The neurotransmitter serotonin, which acts as a chemical messenger between nerve cells, plays a critical role in regulating emotions such as aggression during social decision-making, new research by scientists at England’s University of Cambridge and UCLA suggests. Their findings appear June 6 in the peer-reviewed journal Science. Serotonin has long been associated with social behavior, and low levels of serotonin are associated with depression and anxiety, but its precise involvement in impulsive aggression has been controversial. Though many scientists have hypothesized a link between serotonin and impulsivity, this is one of the first studies to show a causal link between the two. The findings highlight why some of us may become combative or aggressive when we have not eaten. The essential amino acid necessary for the body to create serotonin can only be obtained through diet; our serotonin levels naturally decline when we don’t eat. The research also p...

Blonder. ?Weak conduct codes permit state and federal judges to rule even when they have a critical conflict of interest in a case. Judicial discipline commissions regularly turn a blind eye to misconduct by making it difficult for citizens to file complaints against judges, concealing data and ultimately refusing to remove or meaningfully sanction even the most incompetent and abusive judges.?

In Fairness to the Policemen But...
2008-03-05 09:32:00 I think the policemen who blocked, stopped and intimidated us should not be the only people to blame about the incident on which our basic right to freely assemble and travel without any harassment were infringed.On one instance in the encounter in Molino Road where we were stopped for almost an hour, one young police officer named Ramos was a graduate of our institution Batch '94. He quipped as we negotiate with them in a low voice: "Pasensya na po talaga mam, wala po akong magawa kasi utos sa taas eh." (I apologize, I am just obeying orders from superiors)One of senior policemen in Aguinaldo Hi-way said this as we were let go of our way after more than 20 minutes: "Pakisabi pasensya na lang po kay Dean Esmilla" (Please express my apologies to Dean Esmilla). Dean Esmilla is the former dean of our College of Law Enforcement and Public Safety.Going back to these words and most especially the faces of these policemen as they uttered words of I may say despair and hopelessness (for th...

Fairness, Justice and Adultery
2008-02-22 21:02:00 I broke one of my golden rules recently.I asked my friend Dave* to lie for me should the need arise.Ordinarily, I would never do this. I make a point of not telling those who know and meet W anything about my philandering ways.It isn't so much a trust or a security thing. It is simply about being fair. I wouldn't appreciate having to compromise my own integrity to cover up for even the closest friend's crimes. And so, unless it were unavoidable, I wouldn't put someone else in that position either.The way I look at it, when I compromise my integrity then it should be solely for my own personal benefit and pleasure. And Cate's.Anyway, on this occasion I was concerned that I had not covered my tracks sufficiently, and so my rule was broken for the first time. And it was was a good thing too because a good friend of W's asked Dave a question which could, had he answered truthfully, have landed me in deep doodoo.Fortunately, Dave seemed to enjoy his task.

Super Delegates and Fairness
2008-02-18 13:15:00 All this discussion of Democratic Super Delegates begins to approach absurdity. Most annoying is the question of fairness. Is it fair, ask about a million journalists per hour, that after all the voting and caucusing, the Super Delegates may decide who wins the nomination?First, that is an unbelievably stupid question. Of course it’s fair. The rules were written well in advance, all the candidates understood those rules, and nothing has changed in the interim. Is it fair that one basketball team can make fewer shots than another and still win the game because more of their baskets came from beyond the three-point line? Yes, obviously it is since that’s what the rule book prescribes.There are three problems here that all intersect to create the current controversy. First, the news media have done a characteristically poor job of explaining how the Democratic nomination system works. By neglecting to discuss the role of Super Delegates until the campaign between Hillary Clinton an...
GOP vs. fairness
2008-02-17 06:51:00 The Republican Party exhibits an incredible disregard for the concept of fairness and justice there days. Case in point: California's budget deficit. As if it wasn't enough that they got Democrats to agree to cutting social services, rather than increasing taxes on the rich (those making $1 million/yr. or more), they have blocked a bill in the state assembly that would have closed a loophole in the state sales tax on luxury yachts and super high-end conspicuous consumption. In other words, California's Republicans favor burdening children, the sick and the elderly with the burden of the current deficit rather than the super-rich. Why tax the conspicuous consumption of multi-millionaires when you can deprive children of a better education and health care? At this point I am going to seriously question the moral judgment of these lawmakers, for it seems that common sense and the concept of fairness elude these Republican lawmakers (note that some GOP assemblymen did vote in favor o...

2008-01-03 03:26:00 In fairness, I think our a lot of our invisibility is due to overall math/science anxiety, which hit our generation especially hard. Translation = fear of computers. For some incomprehensible reason, women not afraid of heavy machinery (I am) or who can instantly convert portions of complicated recipes into advanced fractions (I can't), seem to think computers are frightening. Where did that come from? The cut-off point seems to be our age-group, though. I've asked middle-class, educated women my age and older if they have private, non-work-related email, and they often act like I've asked if they have an extra Mercedes in the garage. By contrast, ALL young women (sometimes even virtually homeless) still have email accounts that they know to access through libraries and friend's homes. Shadocat, I was thinking today that the only time middle-aged women are allowed on TV, is on CIALIS (and similar erectile-dysfunction drug) commercials. It's kinda weird, since you'd th...

Demand for Tax Fairness, by US Rep. Ron Paul
2007-10-29 06:00:00 Washington, DC - Congressman Ron Paul has signed on to a letter directed to the leadership of the House Ways and Means Committee asking them to continue allowing sales taxes to be deductible on Federal Income Tax returns. This deduction is set to expire at the end of this year. State income taxes are deductible on federal income tax returns, however Texas and six other states do not have a state income tax, relying instead on sales taxes for revenue. This puts residents of these states on unequal footing if the sales tax deduction is allowed to expire. read more

Fairness is a lot like dinosaurs.
2007-08-13 18:19:00 Let me explain.1. Dinosaurs are extinct.So is fairness. At one time the world was overwhelmed by giant lizards. There was also a time when the world had some sort of a moral compass. This was before this blurred sense of what fair really is came into being. This was before people sued for spilt hot coffee, or eating too much McDonalds, or psychological trauma bull-crap. This was before steroids were commonplace in baseball, and before celebrities were treated as exceptions (or maybe before celebrities altogether). Fairness no longer exists in its true form anymore.2. We might think it would be awesome to have them back at first, but remember Jurassic Park.Yeah, let’s bring back the dinosaurs. That would be so cool! Wait, isn’t that what they did in Jurassic Park? That didn’t work out that well.Maybe we should also think about that before we start an ethical revolution. Yes, it is easy to see that our morals are lacking and something needs to change, but let’s keep in mind th...
