What say You?

I liked this song by Travis Tritt the first time I heard it (not too long ago), and it's not a bad choice for the theme at NWW. This blog is powered by country music and caffeine, in addition to Blogger and Haloscan, and that first group doesn't get the credit it deserves.
"What Say You" by Travis Tritt (with John Mellencamp) I believe that there's a right And I believe there's a wrong And north and south Black and white Can somehow get along What say you What say you I believe that there's a basic good in the heart of every man And I'm not going to criticize what I can't understand. What say you What say you I'm not afraid to say what's on my mind To take a stand, to draw the line To speak my heart and bare my soul I don't like lies I'd rather know the truth Hey, what say you What say you But I'm not ashamed of where I come from With this blue collar on my shoulder And I don't love full handouts Cause I'm not afraid of work What say you Yeah, what say you Man, I don't talk no religion And I ain't gonna wave that flag But I love God and a miracle And I fight for what I have What say you Yeah, what say you I know I'm not always right I don't think I'm better than you I don't have all the answers But I share my point of view What say you I'm not afraid to say what's on my mind To take a stand, to draw the line To speak my heart and bare my soul I don't like lies I'd rather know the truth So what say you What say you What say you and you and you and you ... What say you
Yeah, that's hits it just right. (Ok, so we talk a little religion around here...)

Reuters joins CNN on the bench

Makes room for CanWest to join the majors Kudos to CanWest for calling a terrorist a terrorist . Many, including The Last Amazon , will be happy to hear it. Reuters is among the worst of the major western news services, where I would also place the BBC and the CBC. Unsurprisingly, Reuters is not happy about the changes CanWest made to Reuters wire stories: Our editorial policy is that we don't use emotive words when labeling someone," said David A. Schlesinger, Reuters' global managing editor. "Any paper can change copy and do whatever they want. But if a paper wants to change our copy that way, we would be more comfortable if they remove the byline." Mr. Schlesinger said he was concerned that changes like those made at CanWest could lead to "confusion" about what Reuters is reporting and possibly endanger its reporters in volatile areas or situations. "My goal is to protect

A very limited form of inquiry

Real Clear Politics is carrying commentary on James Q. Wilson's WSJ article on ID (got that?). Wilson, the respected social scientist, gets it mostly right when he says that ID is not science because it can't be tested: So ID is not science. Does this mean that science, in any way, implies the non-existence of God? No. Does this mean that belief in God is irrational and that we should all be "free thinkers"? No. Does this mean that it is impossible to arbitrate between various theories of the existence/non-existence of God and come to some reasonable conclusions? No. Does this mean that we cannot say that humanity is meant to exist? No. In other words, rationality outside of science is quite possible, and has been around for a long time. How do you think humanity invented science in the first place? We surely did not do it scientifically. Science as we know it is the product of millennia of philosophical debate -- from Aristotle to Lakatos. Science depends upon phi
