[Tendance Coatesy] The Spirit of Factions and Sects.: One can take this in another way: that sectarian religion, in the sense of a proliferating ”˜separate’ church hierarchies, and independent chapels and doctrines, can help to underlie a country’s capitalist political structure when their ”˜moral beliefs’, Tocqueville cites a common Christian core but the example can be extended, encourage private ownership. Indeed a whole literature is devoted, from Max Weber to Tawney, to suggesting a positive link between religious self-discipline and private accumulation.

[Cricketdiane's Weblog] How could this be the America that we want it to be?: And, why don’t we have alternative fuels already being sold across the US when there is a scientist / inventor that has created a viable coal to liquid gasoline process after thirty years of work on it, another that has discovered that salt water burns like gasoline when subjected under particular radio frequencies and algae based farming and fuels have been made en masse?

[Dollars & Sense blog] Dollars & Sense blog: Frank Rich on Larry Summers | Dollars & Sense: Some spoilsports raise the conflict-of-interest question about Summers: Can he be a fair broker of the bailout when he so recently received lavish compensation from some of its present and, no doubt, future players? This question can be answered only when every transaction in the new "public-private investment plan" to buy the banks' toxic assets is made transparent.

[The Taylors' Travels] MARK & ANN’S TRIP TO EUROPE HALF OF APRIL, ALL MAY & A BIT OF JUNE ...: The big adventure started off with Margaret picking us and Rachel up from home at about 0700 and driving us to the Jolimont coach terminal in the city centre, where she and Rachel waited, waving, until our coach disappeared from their view.  3½ hours in a Murray’s coach brought us to Sydney International Terminal, where we checked our luggage in, went through security with no hitches, and then started the interminable heel-cooling which precedes overseas flight these days.  We received a pleasant surprise on boarding the aircraft.  The normal seat configuration in the economy class of a 747 is 3-4-3 across.  However, down the back where the fuselage starts to narrow, there is not enough width for that, and the configuration is 2-4-2, with a space between the window seat and the side of the cabin where unneeded clothing, blankets and pillows could be dumped.  We had one of the 2-seaters.  We had specified a window seat and one out, but the travel agent had gone one better.  We cannot speak for any other airlines, but in the case of Malaysia Airlines we had quite sufficient legroom, and neither of us could be classed as being of short stature, so we started to wonder why people would pay the extra for business class or higher.  We were still wondering that when we arrived back in Sydney 7½ weeks later.  As a bonus, that far back in the aircraft the wings don’t obstruct the view of the ground.

[Journal to the Soul] A New Year, A New Life, A New President, and A New Opportunity!: Hull was self-financing his campaign, so Obama was allowed to raise $6,000 per donor instead of the typical $2,000 because of the “millionaire amendment” in the recently passed McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform law.(50) But shortly before the primary, Hull’s divorce papers became public, revealing allegations of domestic abuse.(51) Hull stayed in the race, but only won 10 percent of the vote. Obama captured the Democratic nod with 53 percent.

[CeoBrainTrust.com] CeoBrainTrust.com » Blog Archive » Awake and Sing!: When Lawrence Summers was president of Harvard, he famously delighted students by signing his autograph on dollar bills that already bore his signature from his Treasury secretary days. How we leave that bankrupt culture behind and get to “something good” will be as much a factor in our recovery from this Depression as the fate of the unemployment rate and the Dow.

[Schneier on Security] Schneier on Security: Leaving Infants in the Car: With most states (maybe all, if New Hampshire has succumbed) having adopted mandatory seat belt laws, I wonder whether air bags now qualify legally as "passive restraint." I'd just as soon do without, not being an "unarried, under-25 male driver," which I also understand is the only group for which air bags are cost-effective (again using an arbitrary standard, such as $1M/life), but my guess is that subsequent laws or the economics of automobile production militate against cars being offered with an air bag option. If I were likely to have more kids, I'd settle for an on / off switch.

[The Housing Bubble Blog] The Housing Bubble Blog » A Sense Of Denial For The Value Of Their ...: This created a new slogan for the realtors about commuting. Now correct me if I am wrong but our location to NYC(1 1/2 minimum with no traffic) is not a bedroom community, unless your talking to a realtor but that’s the logic they tried to use as why prices went up.
