by that, i mean that if any of you studied physics, the third law of isaac newton is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. in social physics, reaction can be greater than action. if i ignore him, then that does not want to advance relations. if i called finland evil, what will they do in response? will the reform or snap back? there are aspects that happen all the time. . . is. i think to be topical, it is important for the supreme court of the united states to protect and civil speech, but it is important for the public to filter it. but it is also important for the supreme court of the united states not to allow corporate speech to drown out citizen views. and i am one of the few that think it is a matter of civility when a court rules that civility when a court rules that we are going to have a system that is going to have an enlarged role for corporations rather than citizens. what we have to have is a political system in which citizens can speak their views with great vigor. argumentation is a social good. you cannot block tierney or dogmatism without argument

open historical question in some respects but he certainly was not an orthodox believer nor was isaac newton. everywhere you look you see religious innovation, religious experiment, new ideas in this other area. i don't want to say that science is unimportant and it is always the worst critique of a book to say well yeah but you didn't write about this other subject i find really interesting and i wish he would have written this this other book instead. what i'm trying to say here is that i think in religion, and in politics and science, all three of them at the same time we have a series of related, in fact intertwined developments. all three of them are undergoing a similar process of reevaluation at the same time but by many of the same people. and so there are in fact commonalities not just between science and politics but science, religion and politics and when you add those three things up that is a lot of human society. and that is a general revolution in human society. so i believe-- woodley professor ferris with two questions. first there was hearted name for this general revolution

everything that goes down eventually -- follows isaac newton's law, but in reverse. everything that it goes down and eventually comes up. the stock market is recovering in part because corporate earnings are up, and corporate earnings are up largely because companies have sliced their payrolls. they have cut their cost and, again, their payrolls, their employees, are their biggest cost. many companies are going abroad for sales. they're also going abroad for workers. so, what is good for america's big companies in terms of their property -- profitability and american stock market may not be necessarily good for american workers. we are seeing in this recovery a little bit of a two-tiered recovery, that is, big companies and wall street are doing very well. their workers and employees are doing ok. small businesses are doing badly. people on main street still are without jobs and is going to take, unfortunately, even if we have a pretty good recovery, it will take years and years before we take -- before we get a level of employment back to where we were before the re
