almost none of them emanated from states. neither terrorists nor hackers possess large swaths of territory making retaliation difficult. natural diseases or natural disasters like the squid or volcanoes did not possess agencies we understand the concept. neither do disease or melting glaciers. the international relations profession always start with the states and governments will continue to be an important part of the world politics equation. unless these three can adapt to the plethora of asymmetric threats to the human race they will be hard-pressed to offer policy responses to the living dead. and then one last paragraph and i will be happy to take questions. this is the last paragraph of the book. this one serves as a caution against the fallacious but private view of zombie studies world will end once the dead walk the earth. it is up to its exercise their own judgment into sure what to do with that information. international relations very clear to contain some practical utility. perhaps however the ability of these t

they are two exemplary examples of how debate and discussion should move forward and emanate here in the house of representatives. harry truman said, every segment of our population and every individual has the right to expect from his government a fair deal. i rise in strong support of the fair deal that's being proposed by the democratic side in this debate. i rise because it helps us out with jobs and the economy and recognizes that we must deal with the deficit. but deal with it in a manner that makes sense. in my hometown we go to a place called oggi and ray's. they want to know whose side are you on in this? and when you take medicare and end the program as we know it and shift the burden of the deficit at a time when with we need shared sacrifice -- at a time when we need shared sacrifice to the elderly is just flatly unfair. the social contract that the governed, that the people have with their government is about shared sacrifice. but it's also about the guarantee. this is not about charts and statistics and flow charts. it's about people at the end of the day who are impact
