04-Sep-12Logical fallacies in debate
28-Aug-12If you are one whom engages in debates over any topic, it's important you are aware of the logical fallacies that many employ…critical thinking demands you avoid these.
Alive and well!
28-Jul-12Well, there I went and did it again. I had no idea it’d been since April that I posted anything. I am alive and well and the family is doing great. Life’s been keeping me quite busy. Life with a toddler is always busy but I’ve been training for a new job, finishing a Bachelors, prepping to start an MBA, studying for an RE license (determined to help those in need of short sales!), doing some mandatory military schooling, and being a dad and husband…
…and my daughter just asked for help with a puzzle. Back soon. 🙂
The posture of a free man
10-Apr-12Good article on the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that strip searches of inmates are consitutional. Two zingers in the piece; first, the statement that the case may have been decided on the premise that it’s too disruptive to the criminal justice system to rule any other way. Second, the question at the end, “Is this the posture of a free man?” (relative to airport security.)
Read the whole thing. For me, if you are being incarcerated it seems likely you should expect to be searched…for the safety of the officer and other inmates. Airport security is a stretch, though.
Christie to Buffett: Just write a check
22-Feb-12Yep. For all his talk, if Mr Buffet really cared about the deficit or tax rate, he could just cut a check. Buffett is largely regarded as a prophet of finance; don’t buy the hype. Many of his moves make money by virtue of the money he already has.
In a word, yes. The article highlights what I believe to be his critical flaw (in terms of electability; he can believe whatever he wants, but he won’t win). That flaw is the independent vote; independents are typically fiscally conservative but socially liberal. He will not pull in any socially liberal voters.
I’m no lawyer (though I hope to be some day), but I agree with the Instapundit. The ruling that the defendant must provide the password to her laptop is wrong. It seems to me she’s being compelled to provide evidence against herself, a violation of the fifth amendment.
