Levy makes sense because CKSD isn't spending lavishly Original
Steve Hays, Central Kitsap Kitsap Sun A recent letter to the editor stated that "CKSD has the money needed" and digs into the history of the McCleary decision, and says the state provides resources to fund a basic education.This is true, the state does fund a "basic" education. But then why do all but a handful of the 295 school districts in Washington have school enrichment levies?
Doing Stuff for the Sake of Doing Stuff is Not the Same Thing as Productive Action
Brad and Steve examine the difference between doing stuff for the sake of doing stuff and doing stuff because it is meaningful, valuable, and because you want to. Especially amidst uncertainty, people tend to throw themselves into action. Sometimes this is merely a way to distract or numb yourself from facing a challenging situation. But if the actions you take are in alignment with your core values, then they become more powerful and healthy.
An Economist’s Atheism
On Tyler Cowen’s “Why I Don’t Believe” Tyler Cowen is an academic economist. He’s also inclined toward philosophical thinking. Frequently, when describing his intellectual and professional interests, he’ll cite both economics and philosophy as his chosen fields. Last week, Cowen penned a piece explaining why he doesn’t believe in God — not a subject economists typically tackle head on. To Cowen’s credit, he’s an even-handed thinker.
The Passage of Time
Consciousness as a temporal filter A popular metaphor for time is that the future lies ahead of us, the present is beside us, and the past is behind us. One variation is that we are moving into the future. Another variation is that we are standing still, as observers, while time is moving past us. This is called the passage of time. But there are philosophers and physicists who deny the passage of time. There are roughly three views of time.
Are Miracles Extraordinary?
Both theists and atheists seem to think so. Let’s explore. Those who study religion — both atheist and theist alike — tend to think that miracles are by definition extraordinary. Atheists say miracles are extraordinary by definition to create an insuperable presumption against their occurrence — or belief in their occurrence. Some Christian intellectuals say miracles are extraordinary by definition because their evidentiary value supposedly lies in their extraordinary nature.
Armed Revenue Collectors
One of the most discussed topics these days concerns the proper role of the police in society. During Monday night’s debate, both candidates fielded multiple questions on policing. Yet in the broader debate over policing, one aspect of the police’s role often goes ignored. I’m referring to the police’s role as armed revenue collectors. At times it seems as if being armed revenue collectors constitutes the police’s primary interest. In a real sense their jobs depend on it.
The Body and Blood of Christ
A closer look at the doctrine of the Real Presence Christianity places a great deal of importance on the Eucharist — also called “Communion” or “The Lord’s Supper.” Not surprisingly, denominations disagree on how Christians should understand this event. Historically, several well-known ones espouse some version of the position known as the Real Presence, which holds that Christ really is present in the elements.
Long After Dark - Remembering Tom Petty
by Cori Wilbur On October 21, Bob Dylan took a drastically different turn at his show in Colorado as he broke out into “Learning to Fly” to pay tribute to his friend and former bandmate who had recently passed. I watched a clip of the performance, Dylan sounded the most coherent he has in years.
