I did. And what I found was that his consistent anger and terror and 'what was happening' was fueled by headlines to stories whose quotations and information didn't support what the headline side. Headline innuendo instead of listening and reflection.

On the one hand, it advocates simplicity of speech and castigates obfuscating socio-babble which allows a false connection between words and action to be drawn, as in the case of hate-speech and violence. Words, it declares, never cause harm.<br /><br />Yet, the words of the political radicals of the 18th century, of whom the Founding Fathers were part, must surely be the cause of the revolutionary actions which typified its close, e.g. the American and the French Revolutions. It is all very well pointing to inequality as the cause, but the perception of inequality is conveyed by words, as is the remedy. Exaggeration is a verbal technique which excites the free agent and by the author's own admission does lead to action (violence).<br /><br />On the other hand, there is a good deal of abstract language, not always easy to follow, supporting the theme, and it ultimately is seen to rest, not on a self-evident truth, but a poltical theory: that the country is in decline and growing inequality is the cause of hate-speech.<br /><br />And, do not lawyers feed on slander and libel cases? Words can harm, or these would not be permitted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741181208458449205.post-46081391937090169462011-01-13T06:28:06.188-08:002011-01-13T06:28:06.188-08:00Ronnie - Thank you for taking the time to comment....Ronnie - Thank you for taking the time to comment. <br /><br />The word "dominion" derives from the Latin "domus" meaning "house" which in Greek is "oekos" the same root of the word "ecology". Thus, the command is to make the world our house and the authority implied is that of the pater-familias or father of the household. <br /><br />Of course, as you would be right to point out, Genesis was written in Hebrew not Latin, so the question becomes whether "domus" is the correct translation. The two Hebrew words in question are "radah" and "kavash". <br /><br />The links below are by non-Catholic scholars and they basically agree that the concept of Genesis 1:28 is one of oecological stewardship. They base this conclusion both on a study of the Hebrew word usage and also on interpretation of Sacred Scripture as a whole. They all agree that Holy Writ must be read as a whole cloth and not in patches and pieces.<br /><br />http://www.directionjournal.org/article/?922<br /><br />http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/torahteachings.html<br /><br />http://geochristian.wordpress.com/2010/07/02/evangelical-christian-perspectives-on-the-environment/Chipsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236068118310501365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741181208458449205.post-49532114678515267822011-01-13T05:42:01.727-08:002011-01-13T05:42:01.727-08:00Extremely well said, sir.

Gordon Liddy, are conservatives guilty of similar hate speech on their shows?"<br /><br /> Liddy's response: "Well, if they are, I certainly haven't heard of it."<br /><br /> That would mean that Liddy has not listened to his own program. On August 26, 1994, Liddy told his radio listeners: "Now if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests." Liddy's advice that day was explicit: "They've got a big target on there, ATF. Don't shoot at that, because they've got a vest on underneath that. Head shots, head shots.... Kill the sons of bitches."<br /><br /> This was far from an isolated incident. On September 15, 1994, for example, Liddy told his listeners: "If the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms insists upon a firefight, give them a firefight. Just remember, they're wearing flak jackets and you're better off shooting for the head." The theme was repeated so often that Liddy's callers began to exclaim "head shots!" to express their agreement with the host, the way Rush Limbaugh's callers say "megadittos."<br /><br />ridiculous argument you try to make.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
