I, to my impending detriment, am also curious.

Or we could all just assume you're madder than a hatter!

Pfft... I'd convict her! Can't have vigilantes running around killing evil SOBs, that simply is not the American way!

Mashed potatoes and gravy! Also uncomfortable time with family -
A concept of representative men seems like it would be helpful in such a case, it also looks like Rawls makes no use of it. Matters are then further complicated: So it would initially seem that my interpretation of how Rawls include comprehensive doctrines behind the Veil of Ignorance may very will be incomplete, since it would appear that he almost immediately turns around and applies what he defines as a comprehensive doctrine to set up a Law of Peoples.

The Law of Peoples, which references A Theory of Justice and Political Liberalism quite a bit. I've been able to find Political Liberalism at a Half Price Books and am trying to get A theory of Justice for my birthday/Christmas.When talking about the Veil of Ignorance, he describes it being "thick" meaning you do not consider "comprehensive doctrine" when formulating the original position. So for example, you would not use, say, "Christian values" to guide you in making just laws in a "reasonably liberal democratic constitutional regime" to preserve what we might call First amendment rights for simplicity sake (He uses the term "reasonable pluralism") So my question is would one also ignore societal makeup of comprehensive doctrine while behind the Veil of Ignorance? Would you not consider that a population was twenty percent Hindu, twelve percent Muslim, fifty percent Christian, eight percent Jewish and ten percent other? I think I'm leaning towards it not being necessary, since the preservation of reasonable pluralism should cover any concern one might have in preserving culture or religious identity.

I don't know, that kinda sounds like you are an extrovert... you are CRAVING contact! That, and family fatigue.... and perhaps

I'm particular about mac and cheese. I'm fine with kraft, I despise velvetta in all its forms, but some of the best was when I used mayo instead of milk...but I don't do that anymore, I'm not nearly that active And the secret to a good mac and cheese is butter! Lots and lots of butter!

Wow, a lot of Ohio folk here. I, too, would also go if it were in Columbus... Incidently, the World Fantasy Convention of next year will be in Columbus OH. You usually get a few big name authors rambling about.

Particularly if you are Pressing from a phone... The two buttons are too close together!

Yuck...to the blizzard... Dairy Queen is garbage Stay warm!

Slowly, but surely, I'm making my way through my Rawls book. It is interesting stuff, and I'll formulate some quandaries here after a bit. I'm doing it here instead of Random Stuff not because it's appropriate, but because I'm more likely to get a response.

Do it...The student learns more when the student is the teacher. *gong sounds* Now I want an eggroll, thanks Kasmir!

I have been found out! *takes cyanide pill*

I'd suggest she start treating this like a mother-daughter relationship and not an HR-worker one...but then she would have have feelings! Feelings of an almost human nature, and that simply will not do!
-
Oh, certainly. For cheese stuffed taquitos, cream would just be overkill.Though salsa with a good amount of cilantro might complement them nicely...
-
He should eat them with ketchup and cream! Like, something like sour cream, not whipping cream.That is good news, particularly since it would provide some much needed space!

You truly are the king of kings!

I know, right? Pretzels? Yuck!

I'm sorry you have to go through this rust, Twi For what it's worth, I don't think she will directly kick you out... It does not jive with her perceived role of "benevolent victim". She'll still make your life hell, but her precious pseudo suffering is too precious for her to cut it off immediately. And you know better what practical steps to take, so I won't bother with any suggestions on that part It does suck, but you'll get through it, and the worse case will remain hypothetical. So it is written, so it will be done

The ending of HoA is what convinced me to like Brandon Sanderson.

Watch out for the Mine Turtle!

She's doing this exactly because she is losing control and has no idea how to treat someone else as anything but a subordinate. Her futility galls her and she is too small a person to improve herself. I'm sorry you have to put up with this, just hang in there and keep swimming!
