"Explicable."

Depending upon context, you could also use something like "intelligible," "amenable," "susceptible," "sensitive," or "responsive" - but all of those would require a strong context and would depend upon how you were using it in a sentence. In any event, "explicable" literally means "capable of being explained" so that is by far the best general word.

There is no scientific evidence that ghosts exist. The things that people have sometimes alleged to be proof of the existence of ghosts are usually explicable by other causes, particularly human psychology.

It is a three part word consisting of "in", "escape" and "able". "In" reverses the meaning of the rest of the word, like in active-inactive, accurate-inaccurate. 'Escape' is fairly self-explicable. 'Able' signifies the ability to achieve something - to escape in this instance.

i have heard of experiences like this and i would say they might describe them like this: it was unlike anything i have ever felt, kind of like some one was with me! Answer: If you do not believe in any god then you accept that all your experiences come from the natural world and from natural and explicable causes. The fact that you do not have all the math and causal analysis available to you to explain them does not make them supernatural. Like a Rube Goldberg invention, the long string of unrelated actions which result in the event you witnessed does not have to be probable it just has to be.

Because the plague seemed to come from no explicable source, most people believed it to be a judgment on them from God. Many joined abbeys or other cults for the purpose of mortification of their own flesh (to mirror that of Jesus Christ) in order to appease God or make themselves more worthy of Him.

They became, quite naturally, much more focused on the deaths surrounding them and their own approaching mortality. Some came to blame foreigners for the plague and this strengthened the ethnocentricity of the British.

One cannot describe colour to a blind person, no matter what the colour. Just as trying to describe a musical note to a deaf person would be impossible. -- To understand the description of a sensory experience one must have a pont of reference against which to compare it. A particular colour might be explicable to a partially-sighted person, or a musical not to a slightly-deaf person, but if the sense it totally lacking in them then they won't understand.

Cade (1949) reasoned that mania was caused by a normal product of the body circulating in excess. He found that concentrated fresh urine of manic patients injected intraperitoneally into guinea pigs was often found to kill more readily than urine from normal persons, schizophrenics or melancholics. Urea was identified as the toxic substance and in trying to establish how much uric acid increased the toxicity of urea, lithium urate, as the most soluble urate, was injected with a urea solution into guinea pigs, seeming to produce a protective effect. To determine whether lithium salts by themselves had any discernible effects, lithium carbonate was injected and after a period of about two hours the animals, although fully conscious, became extremely lethargic and unresponsive to stimuli for a few hours before once again becoming normally active. As Cade himself admits "It may seem a long way from lethargy in guinea pigs to the control of manic excitement, but as these investigations had commenced in an attempt to demonstrate some possibly excreted toxin in the urine of manic patients, the association of ideas is explicable", even if totally fallacious. It can be conjectured that the docility of the guinea pigs was due to lithium toxicity. Not unusually in medicine, lithium was introduced through a mistaken hypothesis.

While Moses and Joshua were on Mount Sinai receiving the tablets of the Ten Commandments, the Israelites persuaded the high priest Aaron to make a golden calf for them to worship. When Moses and Joshua returned and saw this, Aaron made excuses for himself, because this was what all the people wanted. Moses called all the tribe of Levite to enter the camp and kill the Israelites they found. They killed three thousand men just for worshipping a different god.

Read literally, this story may seem strange. The God of Moses had just delivered them from enslavement in Egypt and demonstrated his power by providing water out of a rock and manna out of heaven. The Book describes God as so powerful and so perceptible that no rational person could even want to worship another god. Yet, as soon as Moses and Joshua were absent, they immediately set about doing just that.

First of all, the golden calf should be explained. In the ancient Near East, the moon god was frequently identified with a golden calf. So, the Israelites were worshipping the moon god, not just a representation of a farm animal. Secondly, there is good evidence in Exodus and elsewhere in the Bible that Joshua was once the sun god, before evolving in Hebrew belief into a mortal hero. We find similar instances in Greek mythology of gods evolving over the centuries into mortal heroes and vice versa.

Once we see that Exodus 32 seems to have been originally about the moon god and the sun god, the story become rational and explicable. While the sun god is absent, the people worship the moon god. By the time Exodus was actually committed to writing, the people probably no longer understood the origin of this story.

Systemic Theology is a new branch of religious study, created in direct response to the overriding and complex systemic order by which the world operates. To paraphrase both Christian Newswire and Andrew Sears, of Techmission.org, this theology provides the fundamental structure Christians need in order to support a realistic understanding of the elaborate systems of all things- literally everything that makes up and supports humankind's existence. Where Fundamental Christians find fault with the sciences of Man, Systemic Theology chooses to embrace it, instead, to see the works of science, medicine, law, and even other religions, as belonging to- and coming from- God. It furnishes a comprehensive approach to all things under Him (or Her), with everything being intimately and irrevocably interconnected. With such an attitude, Humankind's existence becomes best explicable by our reference to- and our position as one among- all other things, seen as only one part of the complete and total Universal whole. In essence, it simply means that if a thing exists, it came from God. Unfortunately, we are simply too naive or immature yet to understand why all things must be, and it is in the questions derived by that very lack of knowledge that such a religious study can thrive.

Systemic Theology seeks a realistically objective understanding of the great "Whys?" that exist in the equations of Life, and then takes the answers it receives and lays them, resoundingly and emphatically, at the foot of God, as Her (or His) undeniable creation. It seeks to be a way by which all the sciences, and all the religious orders, and all other groups who may see themselves as somehow being separate from others to, instead, see themselves as belonging to one unique reality, and that that reality confirms the existence of a Living and Loving God, set as Creator and Ruler over it all.

The web definition of miracle is: "a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency." What makes it true is God. If you are asking what makes it true to us, then it is the witness of the Church. The greatest Catholic miracle, be very definition, is the rising of Jesus from the grave; which is true from the power of God, and is witnessed by the members of the Church and history.

from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

Miracle. A sensibly perceptible effect, surpassing at least the powers of visible nature, produced by God to witness to some truth or testify to someone's sanctity.

Materialism is the philosophical view that the only thing that can truly be said to 'exist' is matter; that fundamentally, all things are composed of 'material' and all phenomena are the result of material interactions. The first detailed description of the philosophy occurs in the scientific-poem De Rerum Natura by Lucretius in his recounting of the mechanistic philosophy of Democritus. According to this view, all that exists is matter and void, and all phenomena are the result of different motions and conglomerations of base material particles called "atoms." De Rerum Natura provides remarkably insightful, mechanistic explanations for phenomena, like erosion, evaporation, wind, and sound, that would not become accepted for more than 1500 years. Famous principles like "nothing can come from nothing" and "nothing can touch body but body" first appeared in this most famous work of Lucretius. The view is perhaps best understood in its opposition to the doctrines of immaterial substance applied to the mind historically, and most famously by Ren� Descartes. However, by itself materialism says nothing about how material substance should be characterized. In practice it is frequently assimilated to one variety of physicalism or another. Materialism is sometimes allied with the methodological principle of reductionism, according to which the objects or phenomena individuated at one level of description, if they are genuine, must be explicable in terms of the objects or phenomena at some other level of description -- typically, a more general level than the reduced one. Non-reductive materialism explicitly rejects this notion, however, taking the material constitution of all particulars to be consistent with the existence of real objects, properties, or phenomena not explicable in the terms canonically used for the basic material constituents. Jerry Fodor influentially argues this view, according to which empirical laws and explanations in "special sciences" like psychology or geology are invisible from the perspective of, say, basic physics. A vigorous literature has grown up around the relation between these views. "Materialism" has also frequently been understood to designate an entire scientific, "rationalistic" world view, particularly by religious thinkers opposed to it and also by Marxists. It typically contrasts with dualism, phenomenalism, idealism, and vitalism. For Marxism, materialism is central to the "materialist conception of history", which centers on the empirical world of actual human activity (practice, including labor) and institutions created, reproduced, or destroyed by that activity. The definition of "matter" in modern philosophical materialism extends to all scientifically observable entities such as energy, forces, and the curvature of space. In this view, one might speak of the "material world". In common usage, we say someone is materialistic when they are primarily concerned with accumulating wealth and possessions. It's usually not a compliment.

1. Concerned with material wealth and possessions at the expense of

spiritual or intellectual values.

2. Having the belief that having money and possessions is the most important thing

in life.

3. Showing great or excessive regard for worldly concerns.

4. Having attitude that physical well-being and worldly possessions

constitute the greatest good and highest value in life.

5. A bourgeois mentality concerned primarily with gaining money and the things that

money can buy.
Materialistic describes a person who is markedly more concerned with material things (such as money and possessions) rather than spiritual, intellectual, or cultural values; an adherent of materialism.

Another answer from our community:

  • There are numerous statements within the books that Moses wrote them.
  • Uniform and solid tradition amongst the Jews who recorded and passed on their history named Moses as the author. It was not discounted until it became fashionable to discredit their long history in the 19th century.
  • Both Old and New Testament repeatedly refer to Moses as the author and they - being much closer than modern day critics to the events - are better placed to make the call.
  • The writer also is obviously a participant in some of the events, and we know that Moses recorded history in written form. Geographical details, first-hand accounts of certain events, and the time in which it was written all point to Mosaic authorship.
  • The style of writing used places it in the correct time frame for Moses. This literary form was not in use at the later date when those who discredit Mosaic authorship place the writing.

Behavioral neuroscience as a scientific discipline emerged from a variety of scientific and philosophical traditions in the 18th and 19th centuries. In philosophy, men like René Descartes proposed physical models to explain animal and human behavior. Descartes, for example, suggested that the pineal gland, a midline unpaired structure in the brain of many organisms, was the point of contact between mind and body. Descartes also elaborated on a theory in which the pneumatics of bodily fluids could explain reflexes and other motor behavior. This theory was inspired by moving statues in a garden in Paris.[

3]

Other philosophers also helped give birth to psychology. One of the earliest textbooks in the new field, The Principles of Psychology by William James(1890), argues that the scientific study of psychology should be grounded in an understanding of biology:

“Bodily experiences, therefore, and more particularly brain-experiences, must take a place amongst those conditions of the mental life of which Psychology need take account. The spiritualist and the associationist must both be 'cerebralists,' to the extent at least of admitting that certain peculiarities in the way of working of their own favorite principles are explicable only by the fact that the brain laws are a codeterminant of their result.

Our first conclusion, then, is that a certain amount of brain-physiology must be presupposed or included in Psychology.[

4]

”

James, like many early psychologists, had considerable training in physiology. The emergence of both psychology and behavioral neuroscience as legitimate sciences can be traced from the emergence of physiology from anatomy, particularly neuroanatomy. Physiologists conducted experiments on living organisms, a practice that was distrusted by the dominant anatomists of the 18th and 19th centuries.[

The influential work of Claude Bernard, Charles Bell, and William Harveyhelped to convince the scientific community that reliable data could be obtained from living subjects.

Renders reality closely and in comprehensive detail. Selective presentation of reality with an emphasis on verisimilitude, even at the expense of a well-made plot

Character is more important than action and plot; complex ethical choices are often the subject.

Characters appear in their real complexity of temperament and motive; they are in explicable relation to nature, to each other, to their social class, to their own past.

Class is important; the novel has traditionally served the interests and aspirations of an insurgent middle class. (See Ian Watt, The Rise of the Novel)

Events will usually be plausible. Realistic novels avoid the sensational, dramatic elements of naturalistic novels and romances.

Diction is natural vernacular, not heightened or poetic; tone may be comic, satiric, or matter-of-fact.

Objectivity in presentation becomes increasingly important: overt authorial comments or intrusions diminish as the century progresses.

Interior or psychological realism a variant form.

In Black and White Strangers, Kenneth Warren suggests that a basic difference between realism and sentimentalism is that in realism, "the redemption of the individual lay within the social world," but in sentimental fiction, "the redemption of the social world lay with the individual" (75-76).

The realism of James and Twain was critically acclaimed in twentieth century; Howellsian realism fell into disfavor as part of early twentieth century rebellion against the "genteel tradition."

When one sees grass grow, one may ponder 'How?' or 'Why?' An examination of the roots and seeds and soil and rain may yield answers. These answers would depend on the obviously real grass and soil and seeds and rain. One can actually understand a connection between a real seed and a real patch of soil and a real rainstorm. Can one understand a character or agent in the invocation of the supernaturual? Agent X made the grass grow. Well, that agent may turn out to be real, perhaps a hormone (an auxin perhaps). The agent can be hypothesised and modelled and predictions can be made about it. Experiments can be done, whose results would suggest the presence or absence of the agent or, at least, only be explicable in the presence of the agent. And thus agent may be found. But notice that the experiment was done on the grass, which is real. And thus the whole procedure discovered a natural agent after all. Many more experiments may elaborately describe this natural agent, auxin perhaps. Notice how close to the known this agent is. If one hypothesises that there be an agent in the sky or throughout all of the Earth or air of properties unknown and unknowable, then that hypothesis is of the supernatural, or at least, the non-natural. How on Earth (or if you are a cosmologist, How on Venus or Neptune) are you supposed to hypothesise the qualities of an unknown and unknowable agent. "A strange energy permeates the Earth and Sky and we do not know how, but the grass is induced to grow." So you may test the grass for an unknowable property and agent. What about testing the skies or earth for an unknowable strange energy of unfathomable property. How on Earth (or Uranus or Alpha Centauri) are you supposed to know you have found the unknowable property. The whole point of 'hypothesis' is that it includes 'prediction of result'.

There is no fathomable way for agents to influence each other if they have nothing to do with one another. Cheese and strange energy are not the reason grass grows. Thunder has got nothing to do with the fury of a supernatural god and gods are deemed unknowable and so can never be found. One notes that things that do not work in hypotheses and theories are things too other from that which is being explored, they are not necessarily supernatural. Too other may be too other from what they supposedly have to do with or too other from known reality or too other from possible reality. Thus science, the elucidation of the Universe, is limited to the exploration of the possibly and foreseeably real and possible and eschews the too other.

In some ways this is a trick question as many dead objects, such as road kill, are themselves full of bacteria and viruses and larvae, so the are far from dead. In this circumstance we use the term dead to indicate the loss of a certain level of consciousness through the death of a multicellular creatures coordination system.

Living and dead is a concept, not a scientifically or logically provable state. The concept is that living objects are composed of nonliving matter and an organised living component. Dead objects are either past living objects or never have been alive, either way they are somehow missing the living component.

The simplest component is a nonliving, or never have lived, item such as a hydrogen atom. This is a theoretical object, as we can not presently measure or even observe the difference between this item in a living and nonliving state.

At present it has been measured that living complex microscopic structures utilize energy in a manner that can not be explained using the quantum or billiard ball style of physics modeling. The observed and measured energy production process within the mitochondria of all living cells is explicable only if we consider energy transfer as a wave or field.

It is therefore proposed that we presently place the division between living and nonliving objects as "living objects utilize energy as a field to power their coordinated chemical and electrical activities". Nonliving objects or components can be brought into this field or taken out. If this was the model adopted one can quickly see that we are starting to consider the 'object' as a nonliving component under the control of a field. This is also unlikely as modern physics considers atoms to be part of (entangled with) this field.

So we go full circle and perhaps have to conclude there is no such separation. That all things are, and always will be alive, but that the field is just more obviously, visually and energetically active in objects or structure we consider living.

Although the Torah is traditionally attributed to Moses, there is no evidence to support this view and there is not a single statement anywhere in the Torah that claims that Moses was actually the author. All the evidence supports it having been written by multiple authors some centuries after the time attributed to Moses.

Various discrepancies, inconsistencies and errors within the Torah show that none of the authors of these books was a participant in any of the events supposedly described. There is even confusion as to the name of Moses' father-in-law, with at least three alternatives used, explicable if there were multiple authors, but not plausible if Moses wrote the Torah.

The evidence that Moses did not write the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) is overwhelming; in fact the evidence that the Pentateuch was written by a number of different authors, none of whom was Moses, is overwhelming. In the space of a short answer, it is not possible to cover all the evidence, but various discrepancies, inconsistencies and errors within the Pentateuch show that none of the authors of these books was a participant in any of the events supposedly described.

Importantly, the Pentateuch never states or implies that Moses wrote the Pentateuch, quite the contrary. Moses is consistently spoken of in the third person, and the Book of Deuteronomy speaks about the death of Moses and the events that followed. Clearly, the tradition that Moses was the author of the Pentateuch arose long after the books were written.

The Pentateuch contains material that was originally written in early Hebrew, attributed to two anonymous sources now known as the Yahwist and the Elohist, as well as material originally written in more modern Hebrew by sources now known as the Deuteronomist and the Priestly source. Each source can readily be identified by his style, the name used for God and the focus of his writings. The work of the Deuteronomist, which includes the Book of Deuteronomy, was undoubtedly written by the same author as the Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings), which could not have been written before the late monarchy of Judah.

The Book of Genesis contains much material that would logically have been as unknown to Moses as it would have been to any other author. There is no reason for Moses to have been the author, other than the supposition that God would have chosen no one other than Moses to tell the story of creation. But there are two different and incompatible stories of creation (Genesis 1:1-2:4a and 2:4b-2:20 respectively), meaning that there were at least two authors (identified as the Yahwist and the Priestly source).

There are many other 'doublets' of the same event, where the final redactor was unwilling to remove either version, usually attempting to merge them into a single, if complex story. One such is the story of Noah's Flood, where Noah either took two of each animal and the Flood lasted forty days, or he took two of each unclean animal and seven of each clean animal and the Flood lasted one whole year. The verses attributed to the Priestly author are: Genesis 6:9-22, 7:6, 7:8-9, 7:11, 7:13-16a, 7:18-21, 7:24, 8:1-2a, 8:3b-5, 8:7, 8:13a, 8:14-19, 9:1-17. The verses attributed to the Yahwist are: Genesis 6:5-8, 7:1-5, 7:7, 7:10, 7:12, 7:16b-17, 7:22-23, 8:2b-3a, 8:6, 8:8-12, 8:13b, 8:20-22.

An analysis of the spies narrative in the story of the Exodus from Egypt again demonstrates the multiple authorship. In the Book of Numbers, Moses sent spies to search the land of Canaan, but the narrative is actually two versions of the same story blended together. For this to happen, there must have been not just one but two authors (once again the Yahwist and the Priestly source), whose different and sometimes conflicting stories were woven together in the book.

There is even confusion as to the name of Moses' father-in-law, with at least three alternatives used, explicable if there were multiple authors, but not plausible if Moses wrote the Pentateuch.

The atomic radius follows a periodic pattern known as the periodic trend, where it generally decreases across a period from left to right due to increasing nuclear charge pulling electrons closer. However, the atomic radius increases down a group due to the addition of energy levels.

The question was on a rerun of The Big Bang Theory tonight (it wasn't answered in the episode). Sheldon claimed there were four.

They are:

Dover, DE

Jefferson City, MO

Juneau, AK

Pierre, SD

Juneau clearly doesn't need one: Even leaving out that Alaska doesn't touch any other state making an "interstate" highway a bit of a misnomer (not that that stops Hawaii ... see below), there's nowhere even within Alaska you could drive to from Juneau. The city is surrounded by mountains and the ocean (the only practical way in or out is by air or boat). Any "interstate" in Juneau could at best take you to the other end of Juneau.

The other three are a bit more accessible.

Dover (population ~40,000) is not terribly far from an interstate (30 miles south of I-95 in Newark, DE), and connected to it by a divided, limited-access highway (Route 1).

Dover is on a peninsula, so any interstate to Dover would almost of necessity have to be a spur. It could theoretically link up with US-50 and its bridge across the Chesapeake Bay, but I can't tell if that's feasible given the terrain or not, and there aren't any major metropolitan areas along the way that you'd get as a bonus.

Jefferson City, like Dover, has a population of around 40,000. However, it's not connected to an interstate by even a limited access highway (US-63 from I-70 in Columbia, about 25 miles to the north, is divided, but is only limited access for a short distance, about halfway through Columbia itself). It's not like there's much else in the area, though; once past Columbia, you're basically driving through farm country until just across the river from Jeff City (when the road joins US-50 and becomes limited access again).

This one makes sense, because I-70 through Missouri exists primarily to link Kansas City on the west with St. Louis on the east. They COULD have routed it through Jefferson City, but that would have made it miss Columbia, which is significantly larger than Jefferson City and also where the University of Missouri is, so not really a net win. US-63 is probably adequate for the traffic Jefferson City gets. If a spur were to run from Columbia to Jefferson City and then another 60 or so miles south, it could connect with I-44 at Rolla (home of a major USGS branch and the Missouri Geological Survey as well as the Missouri University of Science & Technology). The problem with that is that US-63 is a "ridge runner" road, and it would be a major engineering feat to turn it into an interstate.

Pierre with a population under 15,000 is the second smallest state capital in the US, so it's not like it really needs an interstate highway. Still, I-90 does run fairly close (20 miles to the south), and US-83 (not limited-access, but it is at least a divided highway for most of the distance and it's in the middle of nowhere anyway) connects Pierre with ... the interstate. There's nothing at the junction of I-90 and US-83. Did I mention "middle of nowhere"? (There's something ... probably an unincorporated community ... called "Vivian" a short distance northeast of the intersection, but it's quite small... from the size I'd estimate a population of under 200.)

Pierre's case is actually the least explicable in terms of "oh, we skipped it so we could go through X instead"; it's not like there's anything else more important between Rapid City and Sioux Falls (in fact, if you're zoomed out enough on Google Maps to see both cities, the only things in between that even show up on the map are Pierre itself and Mitchell SD, population 15,000) ... it wouldn't have been much out of the way to have it pass through Pierre in between and still go through Mitchell, and wouldn't have missed any city of any significance as a result. I suspect someone with a say in the matter owned some otherwise worthless land they wanted to be able to sell to the government, though maybe I'm being unnecessarily cynical and there were terrain/geology issues that aren't apparent from the map.

Interestingly, Honolulu HI is served by an interstate (technically two: H1 and H201, and it only misses having three because H3 connects to H201 literally a few blocks outside the city limits).

Personally I think so because kids wear them anyways when they are out of school. But I guess if they are too short it could be a distraction. But I do think that shorts having to be at least as long as where your fingertips touch is a bit unreasonable.

----------------------------------------------------

I found this on the Net & thought it would be of relative interest here:

A Brief re Why Short Pants are Essential to the Proper Education of a Youth

Beyond academic and physical education, what adolescent boys (ages 12 to 16) moreover need is training that builds character in performance that is meaningfully resultant. Culturing a youth to be neat and tidy best serves to fostering this as keeping oneself well groomed and smartly attired is essential to ordering the mind and so developing a proper sense of dutifulness as well as self-respect. This centers on the matter of dress and appearance re youths, the state of which nowadays is for the most part deplorable.

Lamentably, today's societal changes in attitudes, lifestyle and fashions, together with economics, has made boys being dressed in tasteful suits and traditional school uniforms not merely "old-fashioned" but unaffordable as well as impractical for most people, not to mention a custom no longer valued or desired. Alas, all this has served to result in the custom of boys being kept smartly dressed becoming virtually extinct. However, a boy's clothing need not be fancy or expensive to fittingly serve in the sense being considered here. Tastefully styled clothing that is simple and serviceable as is apposite and needful will do nicely. What is imperative is that short pants be the requisite part of a boy's clothing at all times.

Foremost, shorts are the most aesthetically pleasing attire on youths: Nothing makes a boy look smarter or more fit than in a trim pair of shorts Moreover, shorts are the most sensible pants for boys serviceably speaking, plus providing the healthful benefits of having the legs exposed to the sun and air. These values for having youths go in shorts should be obvious. Re how and why shorts serve to aid in building a youth's character requires a brief explication annotation, as the reasons are no longer in the mindset of the general consciousness. .

It is the nature of all adolescents to be overly concerned sometimes even vain about their looks and how they are perceived due to their appearance. With the blooming of puberty also comes the sophomoric predisposition to develop cheeky and bigheaded attitudes, particularly with boys. Regarding youths, these undesirable traits can nicely be turned to effecting constructive change; and this is expediently both well and best accomplished by simply maintaining them barelegged.

The reason this "works" is that - especially re youths, for causes that should be explicable - going with well-exposed legs makes for an inimitable self-conscious sense both physical and mental. The affect/effect of this is to maintain a boy keenly aware of himself and thus ever mindful of his attitude as well as behavior, plus kept reminded of his status by its being made evident by his appearance, all serving to teach the sense humility and instill the docility necessary to achieving a favorable character.

To ensure the affect of this will effect properly and so be rightly appreciated, the shorts must be proper shorts ("proper" meaning ones with a two-inch inseam maximum- not the ugly long baggy style "shorts" of current fad) otherwise they will not ideally reinforce a youth's self-awareness rightly evocatively affecting and thus not meaningfully effect fostering the self-control that results in good comportment.

I realize that advocating having youths dressed in short pants today as a standard is quixotic, and likely will be regarded with askance as being the "eccentric" if not perverse ramblings of a reactionary old fogy. This is unfortunate for both boys and society since, as elucidated here, there are actually many quite fair and prudent reasons confirmed (as previous generations sensibly understood) for shorts being fundamental in effectively taming a youth and so ensure good character development successful.

If nothing else, may this commentary serve good purpose . . .

Short Answer:

Nobody knows for sure. No reliable, verifiable evidence of ghosts has ever been observed.

Longer answer:

That's up to people to believe or not believe based on religion, folklore, etc. Often people in religion come back from the dead because god allowed them to go back for various reasons or another. They are sometimes portrayed as ghosts haunting a place because of a lingering attachment to the place or something is keeping them from resting in peace. But many believe as well that ghosts do not exist, being atheist or not having belief in the supernatural. I personally would believe in them if there was a scientifically explanation, but ghosts are a subject that neither religion nor science can prove or disprove. Thus the debate goes on, most ghost stories are just either cautionary tales or people trying to get attention. In the end, it's not important about the opinion of what people say on the existence of ghosts but what you think the truth is. Decide for yourself. depending on how stupid the person is.

Skeptical answer:

No. They do not. no. For ghosts to exist, there must exist a non-parallel universe.

Another answer:

This is a subject that cannot be answered by anyone within an acceptable degree of factual accuracy. Just as with any debate on theology, the lack of irrefutable proof positive cannot conclusively be interpreted as proof negative.

Just as with theological debates also, the sheer weight of feeling and faith that such questions evoke makes an objective analysis of evidence almost impossible- there are simply too many differences of opinion, and everybody is guilty to some degree of defying logic (whether consciously or not) in order to maintain our selves against what we might perceive as an assault upon our intellect or deductive capacity

If the question is "do the spirits of dead people walk the Earth" or "are inexplicable ghosts the spirits of dead people", the answer is simply "nobody knows for sure"; this is the theological aspect of the question that cannot currently be answered with authority; all conclusions are opinion.

Do we limit ourselves with above questions? Surely the many tales of ghosts wearing clothes, riding horse-drawn carriages, carrying lanterns and other objects, or wearing glasses would seem to suggest that inanimate objects have a soul too.

Perhaps there is a mundane (if currently unknown) but perfectly scientifically acceptable explanation for all phenomena? Perhaps there is some peculiar mechanism by which events might somehow be imprinted on a certain place by energies unknown? Perhaps the souls of the dead truly do visit us...

The only thing we know for sure is that the evidence is entirely ambiguous.

Pretty much all photographic evidence can be summarily dismissed; if not a flaw in the recording medium, a fault in the imaging device, or operator error, it is just as likely to be counterfeit. No method exists by which a photographic 'ghost' can be authenticated as proof of ambulatory spirits in the living world. If we ignore the paranormal and look at it legally, photographic evidence is no longer considered irrefutable in any courtroom in the civilised world, but only complimentary to a body of otherwise irrefutable evidence.

Anecdotal evidence of ghosts, just as with anything communicated by personal account, is subject to the integrity, fallibility, or sanity of the one relating the tale; it is second-hand information, and cannot be given any more credit than one would give to any third-party assertion without accompanying substantiation; you don't sit up all night with a shot gun when your child tells you there are monsters under their bed, regardless how much you trust the source, do you?

Video evidence simply does not exist. Not one piece of video evidence has ever been produced that cannot be explained, dismissed as mundane (if not wholly explicable), or categorically shown as fake. Just as with photographic evidence, too, video evidence has lost legal credibility in an age when even a child can edit a video clip with the right software.

Last, but not least, as there is no scientific consensus on what constitutes a bona fide 'spirit', no amount of pseudo-scientific rubbish involving temperature gauges and electro-magnetometers can be considered anything more than curious entertainment. If you saw it on a television show, particularly with a bunch of screaming people running around in the dark with their cameras pointed at the floor, then it does not even deserve consideration, scientifically or otherwise.

Again, however, none of this *disproves* the existence of ghosts in any way, just as an empty parking spot does not disprove the ownership of a car - it simply still remains to be seen if ghosts, whatever their nature, can be proved real by reproducible and scientifically appropriate methods.

Humorous answer:

Yes, there is one behind you right now.......

Pro-ghost answer:

Yes ghost are really real. They can not harm you, because they are just a spirit. So if you see one, don't be scared because they won't harm you at all. I have seen one. And yes... they are real.

Another pro-ghost answer:

Yes, their are ghost/spirits. but, real ghost don't live on earth. they either go to Heaven or Hell. Ghosts are our spirits when we die. So spirit is a better word to call a real ghost.

The argument is flawed because it misrepresents both evolution and the Big Bang theory. Evolution is a gradual process driven by natural selection, while the Big Bang is a scientifically supported theory of the origin of the universe. Comparing these natural processes to a broken watch fixing itself is not an accurate analogy.

I believe it is possible for an individual to believe they have a mental illness when they do not. This is because there is no physical test for a mental illness. There is not always a way for a person to tell whether there actually is an illness in themselves. For example, many of us may exhibit the symptoms of celiac disease:

Symptoms of Celiac Disease May Include One or More of the Following:
  • Recurring bloating, gas, or abdominal pain
  • Chronic diarrhea or constipation or both
  • Unexplained weight loss or weight gain
  • Pale, foul-smelling stool
  • Unexplained anemia
  • Bone or joint pain
  • Behavior changes/depression/irritability
  • Vitamin K Deficiency
  • Fatigue, weakness or lack of energy
  • Delayed growth or onset of puberty
  • Failure to thrive (in infants)
  • Missed menstrual periods
  • Infertility male & female
  • Spontaneous miscarriages
  • Canker sores inside the mouth
  • Tooth discoloration or loss of enamel


Many people would be misdiagnosed with celiac disease or believe they have it were there not a physical test for it. However, there is no physical test to give someone a definitive answer about their psychological symptoms, self-diagnosis is very difficult and could be very inexact, thus leaving them to believe they are mentally ill when they are not. The best answer when you suspect you have a mental illness is to seek the attention of a trained psychologist/psychiatrist.

I also think a person with misinformation is capable of creating his/her own symptoms an example of this happening on a mass scale is shown here:

Dancing mania

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Dancing mania (or choreomania,[1] from the Greek: χορεία (khoreia = 'dance') + μανία (mania = 'madness') was a social phenomenon that occurred primarily in mainland Europe between the 14th and 18th centuries; it involved groups of people, sometimes thousands at a time, who danced uncontrollably and bizarrely. Men, women, and children would dance through the streets of towns or cities, sometimes foaming at the mouth until they collapsed from fatigue.

One of the first major outbreaks was in Aachen, Germany, on June 24, 1374; the populace danced wildly through the streets, screaming of visions and hallucinations, and even continued to writhe and twist after they were too exhausted to stand.[2][3] The dancing mania quickly spread throughout Europe, said to be "propagated in epidemic fashion by sight" by Dr. Justus Hecker.[4]

Having occurred to thousands of people across several centuries, dancing mania was not a local event, and was, therefore, well-documented in contemporary writings. More outbreaks were reported in the Netherlands, Cologne, Metz, and later Strasbourg (Dancing Plague of 1518), apparently following pilgrimage routes.[5]

Paracelsus called this disease Chorea and was opposed to connect it with St. Vitus or any other relation with religion.[6]

[edit] St. John's Dance

St. John's Dance (known as Johannistanz or Johannestanz in Germany) was the medieval name for a phenomenon which emerged during the time of the Black Death. The medical term is chorea imagnativa aestimative. Basically, it is a form of apraxia expressing itself as "dancing rage," as uncontrolled ecstatic body movements. In the eyes of the church, those suffering from St. John's Dance were possessed by the devil.

[edit] Contemporary cures

During the initial outbreaks of the mania, religious ceremonies were held in an attempt to exorcise the demons thought to be causing the mania. People commonly prayed to St. Vitus for aid, and he soon became the patron saint of the dancers. The phrase "St. Vitus' Dance", however, is in fact a name given to a syndrome known as Sydenham's chorea, which is totally unrelated to manic dancing.

Dancers would often also be accompanied by musicians. It was believed at the time that the order of music could heal both body and soul. Scholars such as Adam Milligan touted music as a cure for the ailments of society as well, imbuing it with the power to restrain social vices. Dancing mania would often thus be "treated" by playing music in an attempt to control the erratic spasms and gyrations of the dancers. Epileptic seizures were treated in a similar way at the time.

Justus Hecker (1795-1850), whose work Epidemics of the Middle Ages compiled many accounts, describes: A convulsion infuriated the human frame....Entire communities of people would join hands, dance, leap, scream, and shake for hours....Music appeared to be the only means of combating the strange epidemic...lively, shrill tunes, played on trumpets and fifes, excited the dancers; soft, calm harmonies, graduated from fast to slow, high to low, prove efficacious for the cure.[7]

[edit] Scientific explanations

Although no real consensus exists as to what caused the mania, some cases, especially the one in Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle), may have had an explicable physical cause. Some of the symptoms of the sufferers can be attributed to ergot poisoning, or ergotism, known in the Middle Ages as "St. Anthony's Fire". It is caused by eating rye infected with Claviceps purpurea, a small fungus that contains toxic and psychoactive chemicals (alkaloids), including lysergic acid and ergotamine (used in modern times as a precursor in the synthesis of LSD). Symptoms of ergot poisoning include nervous spasms, psychotic delusions, spontaneous abortion and convulsions and gangrene caused by severe vasoconstriction; some dancers claimed to have experienced visions of a religious nature.

However, ergotism causes its victims to have visions, not to dance. In addition, ergotism leads to severe vasoconstriction of blood flow to the limbs and extremities of sufferers causing considerable pain and difficulty in movement,[8] hence its common name St Anthony's Fire, making it unlikely as a causal factor.[9] The fact that large numbers of people were afflicted in mass outbursts that lasted for a few days or weeks at a time suggests that the cause of the dancing-mania phenomenon is more likely to be social than physical; that these events were episodes of mass psychogenic illness, more popularly known as mass hysteria. A similar incident in the 20th century was the Tanganyika Laughter Epidemic.

If you want to. They are more comfortable especially when it's hot. They have been worn a lot in the 80s-90s and it looked great. Just shave and take care of your legs.

Boys and girls legs are physically almost the same, except that girls shave more often. There's no reason only girls have to be comfortable when it's hot.

Yea!!!wear what you want!!....I wear them for scouts and whenever i want but always with white knee socks caus it looks deadly . I wear them to school as well. NEVER understand the problem with some people with this....wear what you want...who really cares anyway? Yea, sometime people say things to me but nothing bad. people wore this type of gear in the 70s and 80s and nobody cared..whats the big deal anyway? iv seen photos of people in the 70's and80's in short shorts and knee socks and it looked cool.i dont care what anyone says. iv worn cargo shorts and board shorts with white short socks and no one cares! if anyone has a problem with boys wearing short shorts then i think they need help...thats what i think!you may think this is a problem on my part but i can garrutee it i have a grandson 17 ive put him into shorts as punishment he was hanging about on street corners at de hill in there speak i know you arnt getting punished enjoy .

'''A Brief re Why Short Pants are Essential to the Proper Education of a Youth'''

Beyond academic and physical education, what adolescent boys (ages 12 to 16) moreover need is training that builds character in performance that is meaningfully resultant. Culturing a youth to be neat and tidy best serves to fostering this as keeping oneself well groomed and smartly attired is essential to ordering the mind and so developing a proper sense of dutifulness as well as self-respect. This centers on the matter of decent dress and appearance, something sorely lacking nowadays with most youths.

Lamentably, today's societal changes in lifestyle and fashion attitudes together with economics, has made boys being dressed in smart looking suits and traditional school uniforms not merely "old-fashioned" but impractical if not unfeasible as well for most people, not to mention unwanted; alas, resulting in this as the norm for boys having become essentially historic. However, a lad's clothing need not be fancy or expensive to fittingly serve in the sense being considered here. Tastefully styled simple and serviceable clothing as apposite and needful will do nicely. Regardless, it is imperative that short pants be a requisite part of all outfits at all times.

Doubtlessly, the idea today of having youths dressed in short pants, as a standard will be regarded with askance as being "eccentric" if not perverse, which is unfortunate since there are actually quite fair reasons confirmed (as previous generations sensibly understood) for their being fundamental in effectively taming a lad to ensure his character development successful.

Foremost, shorts are the most aesthetically pleasing attire on youths, as well as being the most practical, so making one donned in them look perfectly smart and fitting. In addition, there are also the healthful benefits of having the legs exposed to the sun and air. These justifications should be obvious, but how and why shorts serve, as an aid to building their character should be no mystery, either, as it's really quite basic.

It is the nature of all adolescents to be overly concerned sometimes even vain about their looks and how they are perceived due to their appearance. There is also the factor of the sophomoric predisposition to develop cheeky and bigheaded attitudes after puberty blooms, particularly with boys. Regarding youths, these undesirable traits can nicely be turned to work to effecting constructive change; and this is expediently both well and best accomplished by simply maintaining them barelegged.

The reason for this is plain. Especially for a youth - for causes that should be explicable - going with well-exposed legs makes for an inimitable self-conscious sense both physical and mental. Accordingly, keeping one so maintains them keenly aware of themselves and so ever more mindful of their attitude as well as behavior, and reminded of his state by its being made evident; thus serving to instill the docility necessary to achieving a favorable character.

To ensure the affect of this will effect properly and thus be rightly appreciated, the shorts must be "proper shorts" (one's with no more than a two inch inseam) not the awful long baggy style "shorts" of current fad. Short shorts ideally reinforce a youth's self-awareness rightly evocatively affecting, thus they most meaningfully effect inculcating the self-control that results in good comportment.

Let me close this explication with two interesting notes for those who think this commentary merely that of a reactionary old fogy''':'''

In various recently conducted surveys of public thinking on a broad mix of topics to see what "constants" might show up, when people were asked what their ideal image of a schoolboy was, the one most often stated was that of a lad donned in a classic ("British") uniform with short pants. (This does beg the question of why, then, has boys being dressed so become almost extinct, but answering it is beyond this essay's focus.)

Moreover, all the questionable commentary attesting to the value of keeping youths in shorts aside, actual research has also shown far more males than not trained in this manor have later acknowledged they came to respect and appreciate the lessons they learned from this way; and, perhaps ironically, to also come to actually like going in shorts, and missed wearing them once no longer worn.

Testimony like this would seem to confirm the alleged merits of this practice are valid.

And so, I close my case in this regard.

Steven Lloyd, M.A. I love short shorts,and i hate the fact seemingly that girls' recent indulgence in hotpants seem to be creating a stigma against us boys to wear proper shorts rather than those long baggy stuff.Oh,right feminists say giving women privileges wouldnt take away the men's,and yet here it is,and they dont do anything to address it.I wish all boys and lads would stop being cowards and just wear short shorts out in this hot weather,than let the girls enjoy the exposure while they themselves suffer the heat,while the few of us who have the courage to stick up for our rights gets those stares n offhand remarks.Imagine,girls with leg exposure dont get the stares yet boys with the same leg exposure do.What has the world come to??And why cant working men wear shorts similar in built to those short skirts working women are allowed to?We should actively promote a shorts culture for men in this society

Anti-imperialism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Anti-imperialism, strictly speaking, is a term that may be applied to a movement opposed to any form of colonialism or imperialism. Generally, anti-imperialism includes opposition to wars of conquest, particularly of non-contiguous territory or people with a different language or culture. In short terms, it is also people against the spreading of a country beyond its borders. Examples of anti-imperialists include Republican senators of the Roman Republic, and members of the Anti-Imperialist League that opposed the absorption of the Philippines after the Spanish-American War of 1898.

To what degree is the situation of the Latin American republics similar to that of the semi-colonial countries? The economic condition of these republics is undoubtedly semi-colonial, and this characteristic of their economies tends to be accentuated as capitalism, and therefore imperialist penetration, develops. But the national bourgeoisies, who see cooperation with imperialism as their best source of profits, feel themselves secure enough as mistresses of power not to be too greatly preoccupied with national sovereignty. The South American bourgeoisies, not yet facing Yankee military occupation (with the exception of Panama), are not disposed to admit the necessity of struggling for their second independence, as Aprista propaganda naively supposes. The state, or better yet the ruling class, does not seem to feel the need for a greater or more secure degree of national autonomy. The revolution for independence is relatively too near, its myths and symbols too alive in the consciousness of the bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie. The illusion of national sovereignty still lives on. It would be a serious mistake to claim that this social layer still has a sense of revolutionary nationalism, as in those places where it does represent a factor for anti-imperialist struggle in semi-colonial countries enslaved by imperialism, for example, in Asia in recent decades.

Over a year ago, in our discussion with Aprista leaders in which we rejected their desire to propose the creation of a Latin American Kuomintang, we put forward the following thesis as a way to avoid Eurocentric plagiarism and to accommodate our revolutionary activity to a precise appreciation of our own reality:

Collaboration with the bourgeoisie and even many feudal elements in the anti-imperialist struggle in China are explicable in terms of race and national culture that are not relevant for us. A Chinese nobleman or bourgeois feels himself Chinese to the core. He matches the white man's contempt for his stratified and decrepit culture with his own contempt and pride in his millennia-long tradition. Anti-imperialism can therefore find support in such sentiments and in a sense of Chinese nationalism Circumstances are not the same in Indo America. The native aristocracy and bourgeoisie feel no solidarity with the people in possessing a common history and culture. In Peru, the white aristocrat and bourgeois scorn the popular and the national. They consider themselves white above all else. The petty bourgeois mestizo imitates their example. The Lima bourgeoisie fraternizes with the Yankee capitalists, even with their mere employees at the Country Club, the Tennis Club, and in the streets. The Yankee can marry the native senorita without the inconvenience of differences in race or religion, and she feels no national or cultural misgivings in preferring marriage with a member of the invading race. The middle class girl has no qualms in this regard, either. The girl who can trap a Yankee employed by the Grace Company or the Foundation does it with the satisfaction of thereby raising her social position. The nationalist factor for these inescapable objective reasons is neither decisive nor basic to the anti imperialist struggle in our environment. Only in countries such as Argentina, where there is a large and rich bourgeoisie proud of their country's wealth and power and where the national character for this reason has clearer contours than in more backward countries could anti imperialism (perhaps) penetrate more easily among bourgeois elements. But this is for reasons related to capitalist expansion and development, rather than for reasons of social justice and socialist theory as in our case.

The betrayal by the Chinese bourgeoisie and the failure of the Kuomintang have not yet been understood in their full magnitude. Their capitalist style of nationalism (one not related to social justice or theory) demonstrates how little we can trust the revolutionary nationalist sentiments of the bourgeoisie, even in countries like China.

As long as the imperialists are able to "manage" the sentiments and formalities of these states' national sovereignty and are not forced to resort to armed intervention or military occupation, they can definitively count on the collaboration of their bourgeoisies. While they may depend upon the imperialist economy, these countries, or rather their bourgeoisies, consider themselves as much the masters of their own fate as Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, and the other "dependent states" of Europe.

This factor of political psychology should not be discounted in the precise estimation of the possibilities of anti-imperialist action in Latin America. Neglect of this matter has been one of the characteristics of Aprista theory.

The fundamental difference between us in Peru who originally accepted the APRA (as a project for a united front, never as a party or even as an effective organizer of struggle), and those outside Peru who later defined it as a Latin American Kuomintang, is that the former remain faithful to the revolutionary, socioeconomic conception of anti-imperialism; the latter, meanwhile, explain their position by saying: "We are leftists (or socialists) because we are anti-imperialists." Anti-imperialism thereby is raised to the level of a program, a political attitude, a movement that is valid in and of itself and that leads spontaneously to socialism, to the social revolution (how, we have no idea). This idea inordinately overestimates the anti-imperialist movement, exaggerates the myth of the struggle for a "second independence," and romanticizes that we are already living in the era of a new emancipation. This leads to the idea of replacing the anti-imperialist leagues with political parties. From an APRA initially conceived as a united front, a popular alliance, a bloc of oppressed classes, we pass to an APRA defined as the Latin American Kuomintang.

For us, anti-imperialism does not and cannot constitute, by itself a political program for a mass movement capable of conquering state power. Anti-imperialism, even if it could mobilize the nationalist bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie on the side of the worker and peasant masses (and we have already definitively denied this possibility), does not annul class antagonisms nor suppress different class interests.

Neither the bourgeoisie nor the petty bourgeoisie in power can carry out anti-imperialist politics. To demonstrate this we have the experience of Mexico, where the petty bourgeoisie has just allied with Yankee imperialism. In its relations with the United States, a "nationalist" government might use different language than the Leguia government of Peru. This government is clearly, unabashedly Pan-Americanist and Monroeist. But any other bourgeois government would carry out the same practical policies on loans and concessions. Foreign capital investment in Peru grows in direct and close relation to the country's economic development, the exploitation of its natural riches, its population, and the improvement of its routes of communication. How can the most demagogic petty bourgeois oppose this capitalist penetration? With nothing but words; with nothing but a quick, nationalist fix. The taking of power by anti-imperialism, if it were possible, would not represent the taking of power by the proletarian masses, by socialism. The socialist revolution will find its most bloody and dangerous enemy (dangerous because of their confusionism and demagogy) in those petty bourgeois placed in power by the voices of order.

Without ruling out the use of any type of anti-imperialist agitation or any action to mobilize those social sectors that might eventually join the struggle, our mission is to explain to and show the masses that only the socialist revolution can stand as a definitive and real barrier to the advance of imperialism.

* * *

These factors differentiate the situation of the South American countries from that of the Central American nations. There, Yankee imperialism, by resorting to armed intervention without the slightest hesitation, does provoke a patriotic reaction that could easily win a part of the bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie to an anti-imperialist perspective. Aprista propaganda, conducted personally by Haya de la Torre, has obtained better results here than in any other part of America. His confusionist and messianic perorations, which claim to be related to the economic struggle, actually appeal to racial and emotional factors, thereby meeting the necessary conditions for impressing the petty bourgeois intellectual. Class parties and powerful, clearly class-conscious union organizations are not destined for the same quick growth here as in South America. In our countries, the class factor is more decisive and more developed. There is no reason to resort to vague populist formulas behind which reactionary tendencies can only prosper. At the moment, Aprismo, as propaganda, is limited to Central America; in South America, it is being totally liquidated, a consequence of the populist, "bossist," and petty bourgeois deviation that sees it as a Latin American Kuomintang. The next Anti-Imperialist Congress in Paris, which will have to unify the anti-imperialist organizations and distinguish between anti-imperialist programs and agitation and the tasks of class parties and trade unions, will put an absolute end to this question.

Do the interests of imperialist capitalism necessarily and inevitably coincide with the feudal and semi-feudal interests of our countries' landowning classes? Is the struggle against feudalism unavoidably and completely identical with the anti-imperialist struggle? Certainly, imperialist capitalism uses the power of the feudal class to the degree that it considers it the politically dominant class. But their economic interests are not the same. The petty-bourgeoisie, even the most demagogic, can end up in the same intimate alliance with imperialist capitalism if it, in practice, dilutes its most conspicuous nationalist impulses. Finance capital would feel more secure if power were in the hands of a larger social class that is in a better position than the old, hated feudal class to defend the interests of capitalism and serve as its guard and water boy by satisfying certain overdue demands and distorting the masses' class orientation. The creation of a class of smallholders, the expropriation of the latifundia, and the liquidation of feudal privileges are not in opposition to the interests of imperialism in an immediate sense. On the contrary, to the degree that feudal vestiges still remain despite the growth of the capitalist economy, the movement for the liquidation of feudal privileges coincides with the interests of capitalist development as promoted by imperialist experts and investments. The disappearance of the large latifundia, the creation of an agrarian economy through what bourgeois demagoguery calls the democratization" of the land, the displacement of the old aristocracies by a more powerful bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie better able to guarantee social peace: none of this is contrary to imperialist interests. The Leguia regime in Peru, as timid as it has been in regard to the interests of the latifundistas and gamonales (who support it to a great degree), has no problem resorting to demagogy, declaiming against feudalism and feudal privilege, thundering against the old oligarchies, and promoting a program of land distribution to make every field worker a small landowner. Leguiismo draws its greatest strength from precisely this type of demagogy. Legitismo does not dare lay a hand on the large landowners. But the natural direction of capitalist development-irrigation works, the exploitation of new mines, etc.-is in contradiction to the interests and privileges of feudalism. To the degree that the amount of cultivated land increases and new centers of employment appear, the latifundistas lose their principal power: the absolute and unconditional control of labor. In Lambayeque, where a water diversion project has been started by the American engineer Sutton, the technical commission has already run up against the interests of the large feudal landowners. These landowners grow mainly sugar. The threat that they will lose their monopoly of land and water, and thereby their means of controlling the work force, infuriates these people and pushes them toward attitudes that the government considers subversive, no matter how closely it is connected to these elements. Sutton has all the characteristics of the North American capitalist businessman. His outlook and his work clash with the feudal spirit of the latfundistas. For example, Sutton has established a system of water distribution that is based on the principle that these resources belong to the state; the latifundistas believe that water rights are part of their right to the land. By this theory, the water was theirs; it was and is the absolute property of their estates.

And is the petty bourgeoisie, whose role in the struggle against imperialism is so often overestimated, necessarily opposed to imperialist penetration because of economic exploitation? The petty bourgeoisie is undoubtedly the social class most sensitive to the fascination of nationalist mythology. But the economic factor which predominates is the following: in countries afflicted with Spanish-style poverty, where the petty bourgeoisie, locked in decades-old prejudice, resists proletarianization; where, because of their miserable wages, they do not have the economic power to partially transform themselves into a working class; where the desperate search for office employment, a petty government job, and the hunt for a "decent" salary and a "decent" job dominate, the creation of large enterprises that represent better-paid jobs, even if they enormously exploit their local employees, is favorably received by the middle classes. A Yankee business represents a better salary, possibilities for advancement, and liberation from dependence on the state, which can only offer a future to speculators. This reality weighs decisively on the consciousness of the petty bourgeois looking for or in possession of a position. In these countries with Spanish-style poverty, we repeat, the situation of the middle classes is not the same as in those countries where these classes have gone through a period of free competition and of capitalist development favorable to individual initiative and success and to oppression by the giant monopolies.

In conclusion, we are anti-imperialists because we are Marxists, because we are revolutionaries, because we oppose capitalism with socialism, an antagonistic system called upon to transcend it, and because in our struggle against foreign imperialism we are fulfilling our duty of solidarity with the revolutionary masses of Europe.
