Study: Atheists more driven by compassion than highly religious people
Research from University of California, Berkeley published in the most recent edition of the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science found a stronger link between compassion and generosity among non-religious or less religious people. “Overall, we find that for less religious people, the strength of their emotional connection to another person is critical to whether they will help that person or not,” UC Berkeley social psychologist and study co-author Robb Willer explained . “The more religious, on the other hand, may ground their generosity less in emotion, and more in other factors such as doctrine, a communal identity, or reputational concerns.” Lead author Laura Saslow recalled she became interested in the topic after an atheist friend said he had only donated money for earthquake relief in Haiti after watching a touching video of a woman being pulled from the rubble.
Chomsky: How the Young Are Indoctrinated to Obey | | AlterNet
Forty years ago there was deep concern that the population was breaking free of apathy and obedience. Since then, many measures have been taken to restore discipline. Public education is under attack around the world, and in response, student protests have recently been held in Britain, Canada, Chile, Taiwan and elsewhere. California is also a battleground. The Los Angeles Times reports on another chapter in the campaign to destroy what had been the greatest public higher education system in the world: "California State University officials announced plans to freeze enrollment next spring at most campuses and to wait-list all applicants the following fall pending the outcome of a proposed tax initiative on the November ballot."

Timeliness. I wrote this essay a year ago, after watching only the first season of the show, and then didn’t quite finish it.

The Gohmert amendment's purported aim was to protect the rights of all persons lawfully in the United States by ensuring their access to habeas corpus. But this protection was already clearly established under both federal statute and the Constitution--not only for those lawfully in the United States, but for all persons in the country, whose statutory rights the Gohmert amendment now calls into question with its lawful-unlawful distinction. The Gohmert amendment's real purpose, however, was to deflect and defeat a bi-partisan amendment proposed by Adam Smith (D-Wash.) and Justin Amash (R-Mich.) that would have actually done something to protect individual rights: by clarifying that existing law does not authorize the military detention of individuals arrested in the United States. Not only was the Smith-Amash amendment voted down, but also the Gohmert amendment now threatens the status quo by suggesting that military detention is authorized.
