so i don't see this as a philosophical debate at all. i see it as a practical debate affecting real, live students and the consequences of a failure to educate them properly. >> mr. grier? >> thank you, senator harkin. as i understand the bill as it's written today, the bill doesn't just address the 5% of the lowest performing schools or the schools that have the largest achievement gap. it also gives states the option of identifying additional low performing schools in their states. and i think that states are to be commended. now whether or not we get into a debate about whether or not some states are different than the other, i happen to believe that states ought to have some flexibility in that arena, as i also believe local school districts should. when our state told us last year that we had four low performing high schools, that they labeled drop-out factories, well, quite frankly we had three or four other high schools that had -- we had some input, we may have decided perhaps needed more attention than two of the ones on the lis

secondly, a philosophical question to build on that. it can no longer be a case of government lead private sector follow. the reality is the private sector owns and operates a vast majority of the infrastructure. they inoue straight and engine of innovation and the backbone of creativity. it's not all big industry, small and medium-sized businesses really are ultimately the ones that propel us forward. what, it if anything, is in of the legislation it to induce dangers in behavior vis-a-vis the insurance or reinsurance sector or anything to have self-initiated standards and best practices. and then finally my last question is one that's more fif sof cal in nature before i ask you all to look in your crystal balls to see where the legislation will go. but a philosophical one, looking forward is the 80% solution enough? i would argue we can't firewall our way out of this problem. when i read the op eds that these two gentlemen and many others in the national counterintelligence sector have written on the significance of chinese, russian,

other research shows that philosophers, and moral philosophers are no better than anyone else. so we all think that we're going to behave, we're going to have this inner moral compass. but really what we're most concerned with is what's this going to do to my poll numbers. >> yeah. i remember, you quote somebody's research in here, that they looked into how often books on ethics were taken out of the library, and not returned. and it was a very high ratio. and often by moral philosophers, or teachers of ethics. right. >> eric schwitzgebel, a philosopher, looked at how often books had not been returned, from lots of libraries. and, right, the ethics books were more likely to have been not returned than other philosophy books. my guess is that moral philosophers are extremely expert in coming up with justifications for whatever they want to do. >> this one hit me personally. "our in-house press secretary automatically justifies everything." >> that's right. when someone accuses you of something, you can't help it. instantly, your mind is off and running, drafting the press releas

you love philosophic retirement she told washington, convinced the world that you're a practical philosopher and your native philanthropy caused to relinquish something so substantial to your happiness. the rest as they say is history. washington reluctantly continued to stand for a second term. it was a sullen chief executive who delivered the shortest inaugural address on record in march of 1793. washington challenged his detractors to prove and punish any constitutional infractions on his part. if his first term had been dominated by hamilton's economic program at home, his second term was to be defined by foreign war and the domestic stresses that it provided. many, perhaps most americans, disagreed with his neutrality. when washington talked about a strong government, he meant an energetic government. i don't know what washington would have thought of the new deal or the spending or the interstate highway system. what i do know is that this man who had seen the consequences of no government for all practical purposes during the war, came to the belief that an energetic government was th

i think there's a philosophical difference that is it opt in or opt out? how does congress control the way consumers can share? the presumption is that it's really within the consumers' control to elect to do that if they so desire. it's an opt-in mechanism and one in which they should be able to get informed consent. i think we would take the position that, yes, viewers can give informed consent and there's an opt-in but if the issue is -- >> privacy is so important and if everybody at the table supports that, what's the -- wrong with having the reminder that you're sharing your privacy? if it's that much of a value, if personal privacy rights are that important, what is wrong with having a reminder that you're giving away your privacy rights? if it's a value to be protected, a virtue to be protected, your privacy, then what is wrong with the government saying, there should be a reminder that you're giving your privacy away. what is wrong with that? >> there ought to be reminders and they ought to approve cyber education to kids to show them what harm the

it doesn't translate into philosophical conviction. those who see white as a distinctively western justice point to his physical vigor, self reliance and blunt talk, extraordinary work ethic and his unadorned modesty. i would agree he bore all those traits, not because he grew up in the shadows of the mountains and the range. indeed, i think he could have been the same man had he grown up when he did in audubon, iowa, where his uncle lived and practiced law. the two little towns shared similar profiles in the 1930s, small, rural, agriculturally dependent and impoverished. the whites who remained in audubon when byron's and sam's parents moved west, manifested the same traits described to the justices themselves. time and locale, not the 105th meridian shaped the brothers white. byron white always encouraged his children, his clerks, others to get as much experience as you can. and he meant that each new challenge would help to shape and reshape one's views. today, the pragmatic and modest approach to the role of the court that white fo

from a philosophical point of view.rom an economic point of view the idea now of raising income taxes on middle income wage earners is an idea that no economist agrees with and has no political supporter. >>neil: i'm saying paying, we go from raising to paying. when we get from raising, and i am not dismissing the fica and the other stuff we share that, so, yes, many of them are doing just that, fine. and i am not proposing they pay through the nose, i am proposing that everyone who lives in this country pay something for the privilege. that does not mean a ton of money but everyone has a vested interest in the future of this country. period. >>guest: so, again, you are stating a philosophical position. >>neil: that is economic reality. this train can't keep going. it is run by fat cats and that cannot go. >>guest: you were saying it is not a tax increase if you talked about increasing taxes on people making less than $70,000 a year, that is a tax increase. >>neil: okay, then, we can get past this and just say, before w

there's a philosophical difference in some way you highlighted, is it opt in, opt out or -- how does congress control the way in which consumers can share, or are available to share? the presumption we're trying to advocate for in connection with supporting hr 2471 is that it's really within the consumer's control toll elect to do that if they so desire. it's an opt in mechanism and one they should be able to get informed consent. there's a question on this panel whether or not consumers can ever give informed consent. on our side we would take the position, yes, consumers can give informed consent, and in fact under the legislation, there is specific opt out so that the not buried in some terms of use, which we're are in support of. so the issue about -- >> privacy is so important and if everybody at the table supports that, what's the-what's wrong with having a reminder you're sharing your privs ji if it's that much of a value. if personal property and privacy rights are that important, what is wrong with having a reminder that you're giving away your privacy rights? if it's a valu

also i am very clear to mention that the clashes between her and emanuel were really philosophical in nature. maybe i shouldn't undercut my own reporting and talk about their differences in approach to political life but that is really what they were. she did acknowledge that she didn't read the book so i have to imagine that she is responding may be that the coverage of the book instead of the book itself, but part of the reason i'm really excited to be here tonight is talk about the actual thing with you. >> let's go to that political thing because that is one of the themes running through the book. it reminded me when theodore roosevelt ran, everyone around him said you don't want to do politics. that that is the need people like us. is they have that attitude? what are the qualms about politics at the aba must have? >> part of the reason i think they're qualms are important and not to just be dismissed is that they are similar to the qualms that a lot of us have about politics, right? i mean we all see what is wrong with the political system and what is ugly about it, weather can

one thing i would add i don't think the philosophical discomfort create as money imbalance. big problem their big money contributors were wall street. wall street has turned on them completely and funding mitt romney in a big way. you have to ask what are the industries left ha would go do the democrats. they have another problem because president obama wants to raise taxes quite substantially on the rich. if you're a rich person, putting money toward mitt romney, ten million toward mitt romney is a good business investment, good tax investment. there is a large disparity in the industries supporting the candidates. the problem for obama isn't that he couldn't convince democrats to hold their know and do it, he do doesn't have democrats with that kind of money. >> first thing that comes to mind for me is trial lawyers. would seem to me they would get behind the president of the united states, but jonathan --. >> they are wealthy but not that wealthy, they are not sheldon adelson wealthy. he reported huge profits from his macao casino, reports prostitutes all over the casinos

their most important philosophical principles stemmed from that equation. it was the idea of maat-- roughly "rightness" or "order." everything about the egyptian way of life had a pattern, a rhythm, a sense of orderly beginning and end. so too, the egyptians believed, this must be the way of man. man's end on earth was merely a beginning in the next world. when a pharaoh asked, "how long is life?" he was told, "thou art destined for millions of years, for a lifetime of millions." ( ship's horn blowing ) when howard carter returned to the valley of the kings from england in 1922, it was his last chance to find the elusive tomb of the pharaoh tutankhamun. for six years he had searched, but now his support from his sponsor, lord rnarvon, was almost exhaust. each morning, carter rode into the valley-- as trists still do--and continued his work undaunted. the search, as always, had to be done slowly and painstakingly by hand, the tons of earth and stone mod by small baskets. thenfive days after the beginning of the season's dig, the work stopped. howard carter r

one thing i add to what he was saying, i don't think the philosophical discomfort creating a money imbalance in the 2012 election. the big problem for the obama campaign is they're big money in 2008 came from small donors but their big money, big contributors were wall street. that's where the money was coming from, and wall street has turned on them. they're funding mitt romney in a very, very big way. you have to ask what are the industries left to go to the democrats? the democrats have another problem, because president obama wants to raise taxes quite substantially on the rich. if you're a rich person putting money towards mitt romney, putting $10 million towards mitt romney it's a good business investment, tax investment. there is a large disparity in the industry supporting the two candidates. so the problem for obama isn't that he convinces democrats to hold their nose and do it this one time. it's going to be he doesn't have democrats that have that type of money that support him at the level where they pump 50 or 100 million into his campaign or super-pacs aligned with this campaig

it is a philosophic position.uld be interesting for people to live in a world as people did at the beginning of the modern era and centuries before. people were not relentlessly comodified, the way they are now. people should live in an environment where nothing is bought and sold, just to see what it is like. you know what that is like, within families. there are family that fight about inherited, property, but in any decent family, you are not buying and selling to one another, you are giving. that is a gift economy. it is predicated on the idea that some things have an unconditional value. you cannot put a price on it. we just said, everything is a gift in our city. you cannot buy or sell anything. there is no advertising. you are not surrounded by this nattering pandemonium of commercial messages, which is so relentless. and lo and behold, we discovered, had a certain point in a community, when everyone is giving, -- people began to have experiences that were revelatory. they began to feel like they were in to

because there's only -- there's a greek philosopher. he used to go around begging from statues. and at one point, somebody stopped him and said, what are you going, begging from statues? and he said, i'm practicing disappointment. we can actually change the climate in this country. and then others will follow. others here in washington, d.c. >> the mike is on its way. mayor palitto from santa ana, california. >> thank you, mayor. you are offering us something absolutely extraordinary today in terms of, you know, how we can use this to lend back public opinion and share good news, et cetera, et cetera. one of the areas that many of us deal with is energy and the fact that unfortunately it's gotten coupled with global warming. and everybody immediately starts saying well, do you believe, and i believe. those of us just trying to make a difference. we're just trying to install solar in our communities, trying to get community gardens, trying to have mass transit. we're trying to do all sorts of good things. and very often we're just told no because here in washington, you know, thi

no, buckley was not a political philosopher. his ideas were not want his own.any of them were inherited from his father, who was very influential, borrowed from other thinkers. but buckley was a brilliant polemicist, also an extremely gifted leader. and as gifted leaders know, building a movement is not about personal bowater glory, it is about creating an army. you could think of -- you can think of buckley, i think, as the conductor of an orchestra. he did not read the music. he did not play the instrument, but he decided what would be played, who was going to play it , who to invite into the art is trenton not invited, he decided to expel from the orchestra. he made all of these strategic decisions and was extremely good at it. now, what did he create? el tell you what he created, but it will thus apprise you because it is will we have come to associate with conservatism. it is not a surprise we have become so used it to pretend to think conservatism was always this way, but conservatives and today and at buckley created this way, really a 3-legged stools si
