P.S. Shorty

 

[greggy]

Answer me, shorty.

[dover]

You may not believe this, but I do not officially have one. I search a comic website by Adams and I just know which ones I have and which ones I do not.

 

I really do not have one. I'll create it based on my regisrty.

 

Rather lazy of me, but it has worked for the first 300, and almost everyone puts Adams in the description so they are easy to find.

 

Working on it while watching my new favorite show, "the Dead Files"

 

 

[dover]

Okay!!

 

It takes a city to get me to do it.

 

The registry list came from Mrlatko!

 

 

The set and the ability to export the list came from Gemma!!

 

 

And Greggy made me finish it!!

 

My needs list.

My new favorite show, the Dead Files.

 

http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/The_Dead_Files

 

My wife and I watch many different shows on ghosts. We have gone on ghost tours, read a few books and had our own experiences with the paranormal. But this show is different than the other shows; it has and uses a medium.

 

Most of the ghost shows go into a haunted house, building or area and investigate. They film, snap pictures, thermal image and voice record. All possible devices and measuring is done to try to find a piece of evidence. There have been shows we watched where they found nothing, nada, ziltch. This show is different. They do not use one piece of detection equipment other than Amy, the medium.

 

Like the movie, 6th Sense, she sees dead people. Talks to them, feels them, listens to them and interacts. It actually makes all the other shows, to me, a little flat and wanting. The standard shows can wait all night to hear one little voice while Amy goes in and talks to them straight away. She tells their stories, relates what events they were dealing with and what may have happened in history concerning the house they are investigating.

 

If you have any belief in the afterlife, ghosts and the paranormal this show is great.

This caught my eye for obvious reasons. Seems to me that it its legality was sealed with victory. Might makes right, if you will.

Is the US Declaration of Independence illegal?

By Matt Danzico and Kate Dailey

 

BBC News Magazine

 

In Philadelphia, American and British lawyers have debated the legality of America's founding documents.

 

On Tuesday night, while candidates in Nevada were debating such American issues as nuclear waste disposal and the immigration status of Mitt Romney's gardener, American and British lawyers in Philadelphia were taking on a far more fundamental topic.

 

Namely, just what did Thomas Jefferson think he was doing?

 

Some background: during the hot and sweltering summer of 1776, members of the second Continental Congress travelled to Philadelphia to discuss their frustration with royal rule.

 

By 4 July, America's founding fathers approved a simple document penned by Jefferson that enumerated their grievances and announced themselves a sovereign nation.

 

"When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security”

 

The Declaration of Independence

 

Called the Declaration of Independence, it was a blow for freedom, a call to war, and the founding of a new empire.

 

It was also totally illegitimate and illegal.

 

At least, that was what lawyers from the UK argued during a debate at Philadelphia's Ben Franklin Hall.

 

American experiment

 

The event, presented by the Temple American Inn of Court in conjunction with Gray's Inn, London, pitted British barristers against American lawyers to determine whether or not the American colonists had legal grounds to declare secession.

 

For American lawyers, the answer is simple: "The English had used their own Declaration of Rights to depose James II and these acts were deemed completely lawful and justified," they say in their summary.

 

To the British, however, secession isn't the legal or proper tool by which to settle internal disputes. "What if Texas decided today it wanted to secede from the Union? Lincoln made the case against secession and he was right," they argue in their brief.

 

A vote at the end of the debate reaffirmed the legality of Jefferson and company's insurrection, and the American experiment survived to see another day.

 

It was an unsurprising result, considering the venue - just a few blocks away from where the Declaration was drafted. But did they get it right? Below are some more of the arguments from both sides.

 

The American case for the Declaration

 

id the Founding Fathers have any respect for the law?

The Declaration is unquestionably "legal". Under basic principles of "Natural Law", government can only be by the consent of the people and there comes a point when allegiance is no longer required in face of tyranny.

 

The legality of the Declaration and its validity is proven by subsequent independence movements which have been enforced by world opinion as right and just, based on the fundamental principles of equality and self-determination now reflected in the UN Charter.

 

The British case against it

 

The Declaration emerged from the second Continental Congress

The Declaration of Independence was not only illegal, but actually treasonable. There is no legal principle then or now to allow a group of citizens to establish their own laws because they want to. What if Texas decided today it wanted to secede from the Union?

 

Lincoln made the case against secession and he was right. The Declaration of Independence itself, in the absence of any recognised legal basis, had to appeal to "natural law", an undefined concept, and to "self-evident truths", that is to say truths for which no evidence could be provided.

 

The grievances listed in the Declaration were too trivial to justify secession. The main one - no taxation without representation - was no more than a wish on the part of the colonists, to avoid paying for the expense of protecting them against the French during seven years of arduous war and conflict.

I suppose national affiliation controls irridentist attitudes. After we ejected the Crown, our draft AOC suggested absorbing Canada. Natural law I reckon. Or to expand our future tea tax base.

The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.

Dover, do you think I need my own Journal thread?

 

Hey Dover, let's fly in & out of Asheville. See the Biltmore.

 

Drive the Blue Ridge through the Smokies up to Beech Mountain.

 

Or drive west through the Smokies over to Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge.

I find my journal a quiet place to ponder my thoughts, restricted as it is, still nice.

 

Since leaving the two sided melting pot of the WC, I can post here with friends without the "enlightened" comments of the masses.

 

Biltmore. We have not been there in a long time. That would be a good day trip for the family this fall.

True. One rarely comments on something without wishing it to be shaped in its own mold.

 

The lines blur between objective and subjective reasoning. The gentle observation is lost on today's My generation, everyone gets a trophy, we are all winners, assemble on private property and take what you want mentality.
