Dispassionate Precisionist: Secularist Public Speech

http://dispassion-precision.blogspot.com/2007/06/secularist-public-speech.html

Observations on whatever I desire to write about. Saturday, June 09, 2007. Is the nontheistic lobbyist for the Secular Coalition for America. In 2006, she delivered this speech. She strikes me as an effective, reasonable, and modest public speaker and made some good points. It’s a worthwhile speech to watch. Posted by D.R.M. : 12:08 PM. Comments: Post a Comment.

Dispassionate Precisionist: My thoughts on Pakistan

http://dispassion-precision.blogspot.com/2007/07/my-thoughts-on-pakistan.html

Observations on whatever I desire to write about. Thursday, July 05, 2007. My thoughts on Pakistan. News about developing countries gives one appreciation for the stability exhibited in an industrialized liberal democracy like Canada. Take, for instance, Pakistan where students want to impose Sharia law. On the rest of the country. Unfortunately, the strongest opposition to Islamic fundamentalism in Pakistan is that of Musharraf’s illegitimate government. Which refuses to resort back to liberal democracy.

Dispassionate Precisionist: June 2008

http://dispassion-precision.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Observations on whatever I desire to write about. Thursday, June 26, 2008. NDP Strategy Suggestion: Look West. Western Canada has long had an affinity for progressive populism. The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 set off the labour movement within Canada and left a strong impression on Tommy Douglas, who would go on to lead the Saskatchewan Co-operative Commonwealth Federation to victory. The NDP could have capitalized on this Western discontent had they listened to Dave Barrett. Westerners on policy mat...

Dispassionate Precisionist: State Secularism

http://dispassion-precision.blogspot.com/2007/05/state-secularism.html

Observations on whatever I desire to write about. Saturday, May 12, 2007. Government decisions should look at the worldly effects of policies, coupled with evaluating them based on secular, consensus-based ethics. Specific government offices shouldn’t issue statements supporting a single religion. This view is state secularism. This doesn’t say that specific politicians can’t act on ethical precepts which originated from their own religion. It merely says that the text of Private Members Bills. To establ...

Note: "C-48" link edited on July 7 to specific version of Wiki article. Before joining the Blogging Dippers.

Dispassionate Precisionist: The Struggle for Proportional Representation

http://dispassion-precision.blogspot.com/2007/07/struggle-for-proportional.html

Observations on whatever I desire to write about. Wednesday, July 04, 2007. The Struggle for Proportional Representation. Electing Members of Parliament in Canada is pretty simple. The country is divided into 308 districts. And it causes fear-based voting. If you watch reruns of This Hour Has Twenty-Two Minutes. The NDP received 17.48 % of the overall national vote while getting only 9.42 % * of the seats in the House of Commons. The Liberal candidate, Tina Keeper, with a minority 40.68% of the distr...

Dispassionate Precisionist: Teaching the Bible in School

http://dispassion-precision.blogspot.com/2007/06/teaching-bible-in-school.html

Observations on whatever I desire to write about. Wednesday, June 06, 2007. Teaching the Bible in School. Times Columnist David Van Bieman presents his case for teaching the (Judeo-Christian) Bible in Schools. The course should be secular, describing textual examination of the bible, and its role in literary history. I’d also suggest some comparative study be done, particularly with the Qu’ran and the Mystery Religions of the Roman Empire. As long as it is taught in the manner I described, it is. Strict ...
