“Let them all believe whatever they want. It is pointless to go on radio shows and wrangle over mystical claims. However, such claims must not be imposed on captive children in government-owned schools.

“The only sexism involved in the Miers nomination is the administration's claim that once they decided they wanted a woman, Miers was the best they could do. Let me just say, if the top male lawyer in the country is John Roberts and the top female lawyer is Harriet Miers, we may as well stop allowing girls to go to law school.” IfsWellsMayCountryWantedSchoolLawGirlInvolvedFemaleDecidedLet MeClaimsMalesLawyerAdministrationAllowingSexismNominationsLaw School Author:Ann Coulter
“Second, they [those who disagree with market efficiency] always claim they know a man, a bank, or a fund that does do better. Alas, anecdotes are not science.

“Buddha and Christ were second-rate heroes. The greatest men that ever live pass away unknown. They put forth no claims for themselves, establish no schools or systems in their name.

“At first, I felt bad judging an entire state by one county political official, but then I found out Morrison had also helped screen public school textbooks, a topic which is another chapter in my book.

“Perhaps - and this goes for the Kyoto School too - one of these insights is that nothingness and unknowing don't have to be equated with a destructive nihilism but with the experience of unity and participation - whilst resisting the tendency of objectifying metaphysics to claim that we can in some way 'know' that this experienced unity is really the truth of how things are, i.e., reveals being itself.” KnowsWaySchoolClaimsUnityInsightTendenciesDestructiveNothingnessMetaphysicsParticipationNihilismResistingKyotoUnknowingObjectifying Author:George Pattison
“I love to cook. In fact, at this exact moment, I am trying something new: I am cooking a whole chicken in my crockpot, which I've never done before. I browned it with garlic powder, salt and pepper, and I put a bunch of celery and onions - which I'll have to hide from the children because they claim to hate onions - and I'm going to make homemade mashed cream potatoes. I always, before I leave for work in the morning, have supper cooking. That way, when I come home and they come home from school, there's all kinds of good smells in the house.” WayTryingKindChildrenDoneWholeMomentsFactsHomeSchoolHateHouseMorningClaimsCookingSmellBunchAll KindsCooksSomething NewChickensComing HomeSaltCreamPotatoesOnionsSupperPowderPeppersGarlicHomemadeCeleryTrying SomethingTrying Something NewSalt And Pepper Author:Nancy Grace
“For nearly a century, the moral relativism of science has given faith-based religion--that great engine of ignorance and bigotry--a nearly uncontested claim to being the only universal framework for moral wisdom. As a result, the most powerful societies on early spend their time debating issues like gay marriage when they should be focused on problems like nuclear proliferation, genocide, energy security, climate change, poverty, and failing schools.” ShouldProblemSchoolEnergyGivenResultsPowerfulMoralPovertyIssuesFailingCenturySecurityIgnoranceGayUniversalClaimsClimateClimate ChangeFocusedNuclearMost PowerfulBigotryGenocideEnginesFrameworkGay MarriageProliferationRelativismFaith BasedNuclear ProliferationMoral RelativismEnergy Security Author:Sam Harris
