Why the "Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus" video is nothing but an example of cognitive dissonance & complete bullshit: - There's two main reasons for this new phenomenon in "Jesus Think" and both cause the uncomfortable, even "painful" sensations of "dissonance" in one's head as they become aware of or believe (consciously or subconsciously) two contradictory things. (SEE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance See also: "A Theory Of Cognitive Dissonance" & "When Prophecy Fails" by Leon Festinger). The video "Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus" (SEE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IAhDGYlpqY addresses both problems for the believer.

The big gamble might pay out, and if that happens, expect to see other companies jumping on the bandwagon. Like any healthy industry, video game companies are quick to copy the newest, hottest thing. It'll probably be called something different, and some games will use it with horrid results, but this level of facial capture will be here to stay. Over time, this technology will improve beyond its awkward puberty years that we're currently witnessing. I'm not saying it'll happen tomorrow.

Skittles is an old European lawn game, a variety of bowling from which ten-pin bowling, duckpin bowling, candlepin bowling (in the United States), and five-pin bowling (in Canada) are descended. In regions of the United Kingdom and Ireland the game remains a popular indoor pub game. A continental version is popular in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Other varieties of bowling are more popular in Australia, but the similar game of kegel, based on German nine-pin bowling, is popular in some areas. In Catalonia, bitlles, a local version of this game, was formerly popular.

‘a novel of stylistic elegance and psychological depth which probes the interplay between the rational and the subconscious. The story concerns a free-spirited young girl who looks on as her father elopes with a beautiful English cousin. The chambermaid runs off with and then kills the gardener, her grandmother seduces her mother’s new fiancé, and her mother finally accepts an arranged marriage with the bizarre Mac-Louf, darling of the Society for Protection by Rational Experience.

As this is the time of year when veteran series often ascend into the afterlife — How I Met Your Mother signed off with a fair share of controversy a few weeks ago — we decided to explore the finale phenomenon with a story in EW‘s April 11 issue titled “The Art of Saying Goodbye.” The creators and showrunners of 10 iconic shows shared with us the challenges of trying to satisfyingly wrap up years of story in a single episode.

Ironically, Barr's lone source for his story (other than Stapleton herself) was the Palin sycophant Fred Malek who has apparently found new life and some pep in his step as a source for everything Palin. Indeed, last summer when I interviewed Malek (Richard Nixon's notorious Jew counter) at his retreat in Aspen, he confirmed for me that "bad blood" between Stapleton and GOP fundraiser Becki Donatelli of the Washington D.C.-based Campaign Solutions was what led to Donatelli breaking off her relationship with the Palin operation. Or as Vanity Fair's Todd Purdum put it: Donatelli "couldn't stand" Stapleton.

In so doing, he passed Dit Clapper as the longest tenured Bruins' captain in history, as well as passing Alex Delvecchio of the Detroit Red Wings as the longest-serving team captain in NHL history, a mark since surpassed by Steve Yzerman of the Red Wings.

The leaders of Netzarim had worked out an agreement with the army. They would not fight evacuation, as long as they were allowed to have a farewell morning prayer service at the synagogue. Despite this promise, when we arrived at dawn the residents of the settlement were still behaving as though there was going to be a divine intervention. A woman was hanging out laundry, children were riding their bicycles, and a group of teenagers were pouring cement onto the foundation of a new house.

This is not the first time that Jawhar is thought to have been killed; several previous death announcements have been retracted over the years. News of his death has been relayed by multiple—and unrelated—sources in both Syria and Lebanon. According to a fellow fighter, who goes by the nom de guerre Abu Ali, Jawhar had been preparing an explosive device to be used against the Syrian army, which had been attempting to enter the rebel-dominated town not far from Homs. As Abu Ali narrated the tale over Skype, the sound of bombs and explosions could be heard in the background.

For now, the fact that even the legal architect of the CIA’s black site program supports declassifying the senate’s report has made for some unusual political bedfellows. Hina Shamsi, the director of the America Civil Liberties Union’s National Security Project told The Daily Beast: “Even the unlikeliest are joining the growing calls for the report’s declassification and release. It’s hard to see how there is any legitimate basis to object to a declassification vote as soon as possible and for declassification to occur fully and expeditiously.”

Obama will show he is transparent not by delivering his message in some new way but by conveying actual information. He’s got to tell the truth, yes, but he’s also got to have something to say. His most powerful statements during the campaign were not conveyed through an Ethernet cable but from a stage, alone, with a microphone, the way it has been done for 100 years. If the promise of transparency and candor never arrives but the hype continues, his campaign will have produced the political equivalent of vaporware.

Its songs were sleeker, shinier and more sensual; Harvey herself seemed less unfathomable myth and more human, inspired by the giddy possibilities of love and romance. At times it thrums with fidgety excitement – the opening chimes of ‘Big Exit’, in particular, ring out like warning bells heralding an oncoming storm. “Look out ahead, I see danger come!” she yells, rushing with adrenaline; by the time she’s crunching into the sky-splitting chorus and hollering “I’m immortal when I’m with you”, she’s bulletproof.

Thank goodness, I've been able to do a little sewing recently. This summer has been so busy with the wedding and honeymoon and all that it's been awkward to find time! Plus, it's so dern HOT in the upstairs sewing room/office when I get home from work that I basically only have weekend mornings to sew.Which is why I'm so happy I had time to do this quickie little project over the weekend! It literally took less than an hour. Ready? ?It's no secret that I love stripes.

For example, the concept known as “implicit bias” was referenced by Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine. Implicit bias is not a mere opinion but rather a well-documented psychological phenomenon whereby individuals internalize, and to varying degrees, reproduce the prejudiced values, attitudes and beliefs of their society. Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton, Kaine and other Democratic and progressive politicians have made “implicit bias” a new talking point and buzzword instead of thoroughly explaining the science and evidence behind it.

Roberts received a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial management from the Georgia Institute of Technology where he was initiated into the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. [5][6] After university, in 1961, he was awarded a Lisle Fellowship to undertake a tour of the Soviet Union. [5][6] According to a later profile of Roberts in the New York Times, his experience watching a queue for meat in Tashkent led to him becoming "born again" as an adherent of supply side economics.

The principal worked with us to change the records for her name and gender so that a substitute teacher doesn’t call her the wrong name, and the school worked to make the bathroom situation comfortable for Grace, allowing her to use the girls’ bathroom if she wants but also having non-gendered bathrooms available if that’s what feels more comfortable.

Additionally, Defendant–Davis alleges that the State failed to exclude every reasonably hypothesis of her innocence: 1) that she was with Defendant–Saltzman running errands in Lake Charles at the time of the murder; and 2) that the victim was killed by someone else, possibly his mistress' husband, Shane Dietz.

Earlier in the day security authorities used tear gas, warning shots and force to break up a peaceful demonstration by scores of monks gathered around the Shwedagon Pagoda. The web site reports that protesting "monks were beaten and bundled into waiting army trucks," adding about 50 monks were arrested and taken to undisclosed locations. In addition, the opposition said "soldiers with assault rifles have sealed off sacred Buddhist monasteries ... as well as other flashpoints of anti-government protests."

The UN headquarters in Vienna looks like a studious village when compared with the glass-curtain-walled New York headquarters, to which the discussion of peace and security issues lends a degree of solemnity. Four thousand officers bustle down Vienna’s corridors, adorned with works of art and huge photographs of peacekeepers in action. The Viennese employees say, a little defensively, that they work for the UN’s technical agencies, unlike the political nature of the work in Manhattan. The other two main UN headquarters are in Geneva and Nairobi.

Dung beetles such as Scarabaeus (kheper) lamarcki typically select a pile of poo, often from a local herbivore, then roll it in a straight line to escape competitor beetles as quickly as possible. Along the way, the beetle occasionally clambers up, stretches out its head, rotates 360 degrees, and repeats—a maneuver referred to as the orientation dance (it's hard to know you’re moving in a straight line when your head’s down and you’re pushing a ball).

According to a fourteen century customary law, it was a crime in some places for husbands to allow themselves to be beaten by their wives.” This is the opinion of Allison Coudert. However, the manuscripts by Paulus Kal and Hans Talhoffer are also serious historical documents, so the latest occasions of marital duels are still obscure.

But then when the Meisel score was rediscovered, people went, ‘Oh, it’s an action film.’ Well, the movie was made for the public! It wasn’t made for a bunch of intellectual academics: it was made for the raw public. Of course it’s an action film!”

The branch might droop for a while but that's ok as it will heal over time.Keep in mind that sometimes you will have to keep the plant in a vegetative state slightly longer than usual as it takes the plant some time to repair the broken tissue and redirect energy. Plants are quite good at repairing these kinds of injuries, so there is no need to worry. In the end the plant will grow very strong and healthy. You might have to provide the pinched branches with some kind of support until they heal or the angle might become too extreme.

Coercion in family planning: At the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD, or Cairo), women's health advocates highlighted coercion in family planning, particularly in India in the 1970s and under China's one-child policy. While there is no question that episodes of coercion in India and China were highly reprehensible, it is odd that there was little attention paid to the coercion involved in forcing women to have pregnancies they did not want, which were and continue to be today. This emphasis on coercion steered international attention to 'reproductive health' and away from the term 'family planning'.

One of the keys to success in photographing cultures different from your own is doing as much research as you can before you go. Talk to people who have been there and get their recommendations. Find out if there are any taboos about photography, and if so, what they are. Another key to success is to be sensitive to local customs and the different reactions people may have to you and your camera. Learn a few simple phrases in the local language so you can at least say hello to people and ask if you can make photographs of them.

For moves other than castling as (1) above. It is then necessary to make some allowance for the vulnerability of the K. This can be done by assuming it to be replaced by a friendly Q on the same square, estimating as in (1), but subtracting instead of adding. Count 1.0 for the possibility of castling later not being lost by moves of K or rooks, a further 1.0 if castling could take place on the next move, and yet another 1.0 for the actual performance of castling. For a P, count

I’ve been reading a lot of James Joyce—he has such a fearless approach to writing and experimenting with totally different styles of writing even within the same book, that was sort of liberating...also an author by the name of Tagore. He was a poet in the early 20th century who wrote very beautiful, heartfelt spiritual lyrics, so I tried to emulate some of that spirit as far as praise and hope, to counteract talking about deconstructing things and questioning things. There’s also a book called the Sacred Harp, which is a collection of hymns.

David’s a very thoughtful actor and he really gave a lot of notes on that scene. He really liked coming in, taking the chair, and saying, “May I?” I had written a lot of dialogue in that scene and David thought he would command her with just a look or a gesture or shorter commanding sentences. When we designed that character it was more about the character’s behavior and less about the huge act he may or may not commit later.

The drugs the doctors wanted to use would compromise his already declining blood count. The medical staff were fiercely opposed to losing a patient they thought they could cure.

This was definitely something that needed to be done. Welcome to the first bigStarcraft II tournament. Players offrace on ladder or smurf accounts all the time, let's see how professional players fare when they have to play each other's races in a tournament environment.

"Consider switching races" or "never touch that race again"? This tournament would not be possible without our great sponsor Alienware Thursday, Jun 28 1:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)

Thank you to drjim I keep seeing people using the terms "dB", "dBm", and "dBi" interchangeably, when they actually mean very different things. So, here's a little background on the correct usage of the terms. Sorry if this is covered in the FAQs and links, but from the posts here, I don't think people have read them thoroughly.A dB is a RELATIVE measure of two different POWER levels. There's also dB relative to VOLTAGE levels, but I won't go into those, as we're mostly concerned with POWER levels in our discussions here.

It allowed the earth time to heal from over use and abuse; it returned land to its original owners so wealth was not passed down generationally (much more effective than an inheritance tax); it wiped out debt so the poor who were enslaved by debt and the social consequences of it could get another chance; and it set prisoners free (those not guilty of capital crimes) which in our day, would destroy the whole capitalistic driven Prison-Industrial Complex.

Some would argue that the Saudis are a long-time stable ally in the turbulent Middle East. But to paraphrase the cliché, with allies like these, who needs enemies? Saudi Arabia is the number one exporter of radical Islamic extremism on the planet. Fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were radicalized Saudi citizens and the recently declassified “28 pages” showed that a Saudi intelligence officer supplied the men with money, housing and training to carry out their attack.

Using his published daily schedule (which is admittedly incomplete) and the index of his tweets from Trump Twitter Archive, we created a side-by-side look at how Trump’s public schedule compares to his Twitter schedule. One user interface note: The darker yellow tweets are those sent from his Android device. Lighter yellow; something else. (On a desktop, mouse over a hidden tweet to read the full text.) An important caveat: We assumed meetings ran an hour; we don’t generally know how long they actually ran.

Washington won the Best Actor Oscar, and co-star Ethan Hawke also received a nomination. It would be the last film Fuqua ever made that would receive any awards attention. But apparently test scores for, which teams Fuqua with Washington once again, are through the roof. MGM is hot on the idea of a sequel tomonths before the film's actual release, but it might be best for Fuqua and Washington to try something else first.The initial report regarding Fuqua's involvement mentions Brad Pitt also being interested.

In the depths of my disorder, I didn’t regard myself as a fragile poet-fairy or believe I could paint with all the colors of the wind. But perhaps the myths of beauty girdling anorexia fed into how I idealized my sister, how I assumed that she presided over aesthetic secrets I’d never understand. And I certainly permitted the voice of the disease to mingle confusingly with my parents’, so that I ended up ascribing to them the hate I sometimes felt for myself. A kind of self-protective/self-destructive logic drove me to pin my family and me on a storyboard.

Spending on lobbying has increased dramatically over the years, more than doubling in the last two decades. LaPira says that ordinarily, spending on lobbying during the first year of a new administration might be expected to rise even more dramatically than it has. Friction between President Trump and leaders of Congress might lead some interest groups to sit on the sidelines if they are convinced nothing will get accomplished. In August, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Trump had "excessive expectations about how quickly things happen" in Congress.

Morning breath comes mostly from bacteria that live in the mouth. More than 500 types of oral bacteria have been identified in people so far, and “we keep on identifying more,” says Patricia Lenton, an oral malodor researcher at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry and a “calibrated breath odor judge.” While we are sleeping, the flow of saliva in our mouths decreases, leaving the bacteria alone “back there, just producing things, lots of sulfur gases,” Lenton says.

This third type of weapon is fairly difficult and very expensive to obtain in the United States, especially in the large numbers in which the cartels are employing them. They are also dangerous to obtain in the United States due to heavy law enforcement scrutiny. Therefore, most of the military ordnance used by the Mexican cartels comes from other sources, such as the international arms market — increasingly from China via the same networks that furnish precursor chemicals for narcotics manufacturing — or from corrupt elements in the Mexican military or even deserters who take their weapons with them.

Despite the raw numbers that the Alert Bay totem pole holds the title with, hardcore totem pole enthusiasts have called foul on the carved wood spire due to the fact that it was built from two pieces rather than one. According to such record pedants, the true heir to the title of world’s tallest totem pole is a 140 foot pole located in Kalama, Washington, which is one solid length of wood. However because it was not carved by an indigenous artisan some do not count it as a proper totem pole either.

This is why the second edition of Laurence Vance’s Christianity and War, and Other Essays Against the Warfare State (which is nearly four times as long as the first edition) is at once both good news and bad news. The good news is the book itself, which eviscerates the self-justifying nonsense that passes for moral reflection among so many Christian supporters of war.

After using both laptops for over a week, having at least a third port makes a lot of common scenarios easier (e.g. charge, plug in a USB hub, and plug in an external monitor). It's painful having just two ports, even though they're individually awesome, because I now have to use something like this AUKEY hub just so to plug in a 4K monitor and keyboard while powering my laptop at the same time.

When they wanted to give up on fathering because their child’s mother couldn’t talk without screaming, he offered communication strategies.

A day's ticket, in the early 1960s, she tells me, cost Rs 20, or 10% of her salary when she took up a job as a school teacher.Calcutta football was not just a game: it had fierce undertows, ethnic, political and economic, driven by Partition, Hindu-Muslim rivalry and the struggle between the settled ghotis of West Bengal and the 18 million bangal refugees who streamed in from 1946 to 1971.

Delete To condense the reasons I added at the end of the last AFD, this article in its full state (i.e. before the deletion of various paragraphs) is synthesis of various claims and allegations and it is too soon for them to be considered a notable topic. Most of them also fail to meet the definition of a "conspiracy theory". After the election is over, the claims about the winner will probably live on; some will believe Clinton cheated if she wins, or others will continue to question Trump's ties with Putin if he wins.

The first workaround is very simple but it's only useful for videos (the window is unfocused so if you need to type something inside the full-screen app, it won't work, thus it's not very useful for Firefox, text editors, etc. ): when playing a video in full-screen, press the Super (Windows logo) key or the Alt key and the shadow displayed at the top of the video should disappear. That's all you have to do, however, remember that you must do this each time you play a full-screen video until this is fixed in Unity.

Kim Jong-un might be killed in his bed this very night. That would not be a big surprise, for such is the way of things in brutal dictatorships. However, there are no obvious pretenders to the throne, and Kim is well protected. More than this, he has one incontrovertible advantage over anyone who might think about usurping him: he is a Kim. Without the Kim family, which is symbolic of the guerrilla conflict that, state propaganda claims, forced the Japanese empire off the Korean peninsula, North Korea would lack a raison d’etre.

So, yeah. I’m glad that Oliver realized that in the event of a zombie apocalypse, both male and female humans would be affected, and the girlfolk would probably like some information in case she’s asked to leave her mirror and journal behind while the undead start breaking into her home.

Not cement or wood, though, unless you also read the chapter on how to survive broken bones in your fists.)

Lent’s huge store of eggs was a big feature of the day’s celebration. Eggs laid on Good Friday were marked with a cross and eaten Easter morning for luck. Women boiled eggs with herbs and lichens to color the shells, then children collected the colored eggs from neighbors and had their own party called a cludog. Eggs were also incorporated into cakes that were the star attraction at Easter evening cake dances. Before the dance, a decorated cake was placed on top of a butter churn.

Irene, however, defied this categorization. She had a wide circle of friends, and it was easy to see why people liked her. She laughed easily and was often amused by the ironies of her plight. One day, as she pondered why she had saved a newspaper ad for new tires, she fell into gales of laughter when she noticed the headline: SAVE THIS AD. As Irene came more and more to seem like a model subject, the classic definition of hoarding as a socially isolating syndrome appeared to be flawed.

I was wondering if anyone else can share their XLS one-liners, particularly if my musings have prompted you to experiment with XLSperl for the first time! Those deft enough to execute the hack within cmd.exe deserve extra cudos.

Private property, on the other hand, is a human invention that was widely adopted during the mid-1800s. Things are private property when ownership is enforced by institutions with legal authority. Unlike possessions, property does not need to be used, controlled, or occupied by the property owners — folks who rent houses, for example, are possessing a house that is owned by a landlord as property. Bears possess caves but the caves are not property because ownership is not being enforced ( although, of course, most critters are smart enough not to use a cave while a bear possesses it ).

Continue, for a moment, to stroll in the shoes of a true believer on the right.

First of all, don't you feel like punk has had enough attention in the media as we do? Postpunk and goth are very underexposed even though they had a major influence on later music and fashion. Many people who were into this style back then now look back on their youth. Current young people have the tendency to look back as well: they are interested in the early development of goth music, the subculture and its non-internet focused subcultural environment.

As the security situation in Iraq has worsened since the invasion, many journalists have found it increasingly difficult to report from Iraq without jeopardizing their lives. Some media outlets, unable to afford the cost of additional security, have even abandoned their bureaus in Baghdad. This trend has forced journalists to depend even more heavily on U.S. military sources, which has led some critics to call into question the impartiality of their reports on events such as the Iraqi elections.

At SVP I always opt for the dinosaur talks over the mammal talks, and that’s good for Step 2, but bad for Step 4, because I already know what most of the dinosaur talks are about. I’m adding a little clay, but possibly losing out on a lot of inspiration. If I was really taking my own advice, I’d go see the fish talks.

All these options have a major problem: The United States and Russia have not decided whose influence will dominate Syria’s north. I believe Russia thinks of all of northern Syria as its area of influence, while Americans see the east of the Euphrates as the US zone of influence and the west of it as Russia’s. As this US-Russia imbroglio about northern Syria plays out on the field as more blood and tears, it is time for those in Washington and Moscow to decide what they want and play their cards honestly.

I’ve shown you how radicals will change the way you learn Chinese characters. Firstly they make it easy to “chunk” the characters, just like I’ve shown you with my little “ice cream sundae” metaphor. Secondly, they allow you to make and see stories within each character. This is great not just because they’re memorable, but also because the stories are really interesting. So, I really recommend you check out some of the more common Chinese radicals. If you don’t know where to start, you could try downloading a shared deck of them on Anki.

"Time for a Change" begs the question: change to what exactly? And the reason an election that seemed certain to some in its outcome, is now in sharp contention, lies precisely in that question. As the issue has ceased to be "what makes me angry about the government", and has focused instead on "if I get change, what change exactly am I getting", so the race has narrowed. Because that is not a question readily or coherently answered; and in so far as it can be answered, gives as much cause for anxiety as for reassurance.

Over the next seven years, Telep mentored Cannon. Cannon's analytical strengths were obvious, but he lacked the personality to be successful in the sporting world. [1] His first report was like "straight out of a scientific journal", Telep recalls. [4] Telep worked teaching Cannon how to "communicating to the common man". [4] He forced Cannon to interact with coaches and players, rather than just crunch numbers behind the scenes. "If he was going to do this, he couldn't do it with a lab coat on," Telep explained. [1] Cannon spent so much time with Telep that his kids thought Cannon lived there.

But it is startling to see these poll numbers. France already has one of the largest Muslim populations in Europe. While the French government doesn't allow censuses that ask people about their religious beliefs, independent sources have estimated that the number varies from 5 percent to 12 percent. Poland's Muslim population makes up about 0.1 percent of the population. In the United States, a country with its own strong-willed debate about Muslim integration, 1 percent of the nation is believed to be made up of Muslims.

Brown alleged in his report Brenizer was “agitated and upset and requesting why I stopped him.” Brenizer produced his driver’s license and registration, but he was unable to locate his proof of insurance. Brown took the registration and license and ran the then 26-year-old through criminal databases to make sure there were no outstanding warrants — a standard procedure during a traffic stop. He then wrote Brenizer tickets for the broken tail light and lacking proof of insurance.

Minority voters have been watching in horror as millions of Republican voters choose Trump either because of, or despite, his open bigotry. The Sanders supporters who toy with the idea of shunning Clinton in November and allowing Trump to become president to force a revolution that Sanders couldn’t deliver are playing with fire. To minority voters, Trump’s candidacy feels like an existential threat. It’s one thing for Republicans to either ignore or embrace his racism; the party already seems unwilling or incapable of making the kinds of adjustments it must to attract more non-white voters.

In the early 1980s, University of California, San Francisco neuroscientist Benjamin Libet conducted an experiment to assess the nature of free will. Subjects hooked up to an electroencephalogram (EEG) were asked to push a button whenever they liked. They were also asked to note the precise time that they first became aware of the wish or urge to move. Libet’s experiments showed that distinctive “readiness potential” brain activity began, on average, several seconds before subjects became aware that they planned to move.

HRAs can contain misinformation, too. The HRA I completed last year grouped full-fat dairy and eggs in the same category as cold cuts, fried foods, and cake, even though the evidence against saturated fat is nowhere near as conclusive as the evidence against processed meats and sweets. In an HRA he completed to save money on his wife’s health care plan last year, Khanna reports, “They tell me that I’m slightly overweight with a BMI of over 25, and that’s because I’m very muscular.

Magical Worldview Seerstone/hat is mentioned above. Jeremy also introduces here the account of Oliver and his divining rod. Oliver Cowdery owned a divining rod that he used to find water. Joseph told him it was a spiritual gift and that he should use it to try to translate the Book of Mormon. Apparently, Oliver failed and wasn’t able to come up with anything, and was rebuked by God in the Doctrine and Covenants for it.

For so many of us who still aren’t over that Championship Game loss at Seattle and probably never will be (should we be seeking help? ), 2014 was a great year. From the rock 1-2 start, to the famous suggestion from our quarterback to R-E-L-A-X, to the back-to-back 50-plus-point explosions, to the huge wins over the Patriots, Lions and Cowboys to that fateful mid-January Sunday in that Northwest city, this was a wonderful season – no matter how you slice it.

And that was the line of events that followed the Nine Years’ War in Brave New World. The economic crisis that resulted after the war culminated in extreme poverty and violent episodes of social unrest all over the world that were put to a halt only when the world leaders reunited and proclaimed The World State. “People were ready to have even their appetites controlled then. Anything for a quiet life. We’ve gone on controlling ever since” (BNW, Chapter 16).

Yet, for all its defence of velveteen, scented-towelette luxury as the natural state for individuals of the Countess of Wessex's eminence, the royal household does manifest some awareness, however dim, of a public interest that may not forever accept the addition of a strapping male toddler as evidence of superb value for money. It is, they concede – perhaps out of some folk memory of what happened in 1649 – imperative to spend responsibly, bearing in mind the obvious requirement for the Duke of York to be protected from shared lavatory facilities.

How can a man know how a woman feels? He can’t. The one thing that unifies woman- infertile women, post-menopausal women, menstruating women, breast-feeding women, lesbian women, het women, young women, old women, feminine women, GNC women – even women who think they are men -is our biological experience of being female-bodied. THAT is what a woman is and that is what the word woman describes. Females bleed. They give birth. They feed their young. Not every woman experiences these things but when it comes down to it, we all know what a woman is. We all came out of one.

Are abolitionists like anti-pornography campaigners who end up exciting their supporters with their graphic descriptions of the porn they would get rid of? Abolitionism has a different problem, since here it isn’t so much desire but the death drive that cloaks itself in moral opposition to its own expressions. Does Derrida’s reading suggest that opposition to the death penalty can quickly be converted into its opposite, unleashing a celebratory affirmation of its destructiveness?
