THOMAS JEFFERSON’S VIEWS ON CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
Post Date: 2015-01-26 22:11:18 by A K A Stone
7 Comments
The whipping post was a common punishment for lawbreakers. In 1778, Thomas Jefferson began working with a committee to reform the criminal code in the Commonwealth of Virginia. What the committee proposed may come as a surprise to modern observers. Below are some of the notable excerpts of the proposal, known as the “Bill Proportioning Crimes and Punishments”, or Bill 64. * * * * * EYE FOR AN EYE Adopting a lex talionis approach to justice — better known as “eye-for- an-eye” punishment — committee the proposed poisoning as a punishment for people convicted of poisoning: Whosoever committeth murder by poisoning shall suffer death by poison.

Sidney argues that a People’s liberty is a gift of nature and exists prior to any government (1683)

SECTION 33: The Liberty of a People is the gift of God and Nature. If any man ask how nations come to have the power of doing these things, I answer, that liberty being only an exemption from the dominion of another, the question ought not to be, how a nation can come to be free, but how a man comes to have a dominion over it; for till the right of dominion be proved and justified, liberty subsists as arising from the nature and being of a man. Tertullian speaking of the emperors says, ab eo imperium a quo spiritus [Dominion comes from the same source as one’s spirit]; and we taking man in his first condition may justly say, ab eo libertas a quo spiritus [Liberty comes from the same ...
Algernon Sidney argues that a law that is not just is not a law (1683)

The radical English republican political theorist Algernon Sidney (1622- 1683) asks why subjects of the King should obey the law. He concludes that we should obey not because of threats of punishment or coercion but because the law was based upon the “eternal principle of reason and truth”: SECTION 11: That which is not just, is not Law; and that which is not Law, ought not to be obeyed. … the directive power of the law, which is certain, and grounded upon the inherent good and rectitude that is in it, is that alone which has a power over the conscience, whereas the coercive is merely contingent; and the most just powers commanding the most just things, have so often fallen ...

Leggett on the tendency of the government to become “the universal dispenser of good and evil” (1834)
Post Date: 2015-01-25 16:17:56 by A K A Stone
6 Comments
The Jacksonian era journalist William Leggett (1801-1839) argued against government intervention in the economy on moral grounds as well as because its policies favored one group or class over another: Whenever a Government assumes the power of discriminating between the different classes of the community, it becomes, in effect, the arbiter of their prosperity, and exercises a power not contemplated by any intelligent people in delegating their sovereignty to their rulers. It then becomes the great regulator of the profits of every species of industry, and reduces men from a dependence on their own exertions, to a dependence on the caprices of their Government. Governments possess no ...
Socrates as the “gadfly” of the state (4thC BC)

Plato in his Apology for the life of Socrates reminds us that all societies need a “gadfly” to sting the “steed” of state into acknowledging its proper duties and obligations: I am the gadfly of the Athenian people, given to them by God, and they will never have another, if they kill me. And now, Athenians, I am not going to argue for my own sake, as you may think, but for yours, that you may not sin against the God by condemning me, who am his gift to you. For if you kill me you will not easily find a successor to me, who, if I may use such a ludicrous figure of speech, am a sort of gadfly, given to the state by God; and the state is a great and noble steed who is tardy ...

Who Won The War Of 1812?

Who Won The War Of 1812? By Joel McCord • Jun 14, 2013 If you ask the average American about the War of 1812, you’ll probably hear about Fort McHenry, the Star Spangled Banner and maybe the Battle of New Orleans. But ask your average Brit and you may get a blank stare. The war we call our “second war of independence,” the one in which we threw off the British for good, doesn’t even register in the United Kingdom. Andrew Lambert, a professor of Naval History at Kings College, the University of London, says the British were in the middle of the Napoleonic Wars at the time, trying to hold off one of the greatest generals ever. And they were quite proud of having ...

The Incredible Story of Vivian Maier

In 2007, 26-year-old real estate agent John Maloof purchased a box filled with 30,000 negatives from an estate sale for $400. After being stunned by the quality of the street photographs, Maloof began digging and discovered that they were created by a nanny and street photographer named Vivian Maier. He then decided to purchase the other boxes of negatives, bringing his collection of Maier photos up to about 100,000 images. Now some are saying he might have discovered one of the greatest (and previously unknown) street photographers of the 20th century. You can view some of Maier’s photographs here. Next time you’re at an estate sale, you might want to take a closer look at any ...
The Crazy, Ingenious Plan to Bring Hippopotamus Ranching to America
Post Date: 2013-12-20 23:47:58 by A K A Stone
0 Comments
Image: Mark Summers In the early years of the last century, the U.S. Congress considered a bold and ingenious plan that would simultaneously solve two pressing problems — a national meat shortage and a growing ecological crisis. The plan was this: hippopotamus ranching. Hippos imported from Africa and raised in the bayous of Louisiana, proponents argued, would provide a delicious new source of protein for a meat-hungry nation. In the process, the animals would gobble up the invasive water hyacinth that was killing fish and choking off waterways. It would be an epic win-win. A bill was introduced in Congress, and newspaper editorials extolled the culinary virtues of “lake cow ...
Squanto--God's Special Indian a Thanksgiving Story

Sailors poured onto the rocky beach as their small craft landed. Nearby cliffs echoed with a shout: "Grab that short one before he gets away!" The Indian boy felt a sailor's callused hands grasp his shoulders. Though he thrashed and jerked, Squanto (SKWAN- to) couldn't break free. As fibers from a coarse rope cut into his wrists he finally decided that struggle was useless. He was dragged into a longboat, then carried aboard a three-masted English ship anchored offshore. Squanto had been fishing along the rugged coast when his friend had looked up and pointed, "Great boats with white wings." They had scrambled over the boulders to meet the strange white-faced ...

When the Yankees play baseball in the Bronx and the Knicks hit the court at Madison Square Garden, the two teams may belong to different sports, but they're both part of an exchange of taunts and slurs that no one remembers or cares about anymore. The Knicks are short for the Knickerbockers, one of the derogatory names that English New Yorkers called the Dutch New Yorkers whom they had seized the city from. And the Dutch returned the favor by calling the Anglo newcomers, John Cheese or Jan Kees, which eventually became Yankee. The English mocked the Dutch and the Dutch mocked English and then both terms became part of the city's cultural heritage and even a point of pride. Yankee ...

FLASHBACK: An Expert Says Tear Down Our Bugged Embassy in Moscow
Post Date: 2013-07-01 20:27:00 by A K A Stone

Last week, when Secretary of State George Shultz arrived in Moscow for missile talks, he was forced to hold many of his most sensitive conversations in a communications trailer specially flown in and parked outside the American Embassy. Security at the Moscow embassy had been compromised by Soviet agents who allegedly seduced United States Marine guards and gained access to its most critical areas. The United States has a new embassy building in Moscow, but it may never open. The structure, costing nearly $200 million, was built by Soviet workers, and the State Department now fears that it may be so thoroughly bugged that it might be unsalvageable. Meanwhile, President Reagan has declared ...

'Wars are Started by Heterosexuals’: Another ‘Gay’ Myth For decades we have been hearing from the homosexual community that anybody who is anybody was probably a homosexual – from Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci to T.E. Lawrence and John Maynard Keynes. (It was Keynes who said, “In the long run we are all dead.”) Added to the wall of homosexual fame is the following from British singer Steven Patrick Morrissey or simply Morrissey. He is an animal rights fanatic and an advocate of homosexual everything. When Morrissey was with the group “The Smiths,” he produced the album Meat is Murder. Here’s the opening stanza of the title song: Heifer ...

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Oliver Stone's mini-series about the history of America focuses entirely on the struggle between the US and Communism. It aired on Showtime,and all episodes have been broadcast. You might want to watch it when it is re-ran to view the stunning blindness,hypocrisy,and outright lies the delusional Stone put to film. He worships the Kennedy family to the point he may just live up their asses,and the ONLY fault he finds with JFK is that his right-wing advisers gave him bad advise. He even lists JFK as a WW-2 hero who fought bravely,even though he was never in one single battle,and did everything within his power to avoid ever being in one. After PT-109 was sunk the Navy wanted to ...

Amazing tale of a desperate WWII pilot’s encounter with a German flying ace

On Dec. 20, 1943, a young American bomber pilot named Charlie Brown found himself somewhere over Germany, struggling to keep his plane aloft with just one of its four engines still working. They were returning from their first mission as a unit, the successful bombing of a German munitions factory. Of his crew members, one was dead and six wounded, and 2nd Lt. Brown was alone in his cockpit, the three unharmed men tending to the others. Brown’s B-17 had been attacked by 15 German planes and left for dead, and Brown himself had been knocked out in the assault, regaining consciousness in just enough time to pull the plane out of a near-fatal nose dive. “Every single time you go up, ...
