That may be the most idiotic definition of atheism - and there are some pretty idiotic ones about - that I have ever read. The grand accident you mention is not unexplainable, it is more completely explained with each passing day. The shifting that you invoke in the next sentence belongs to the religious types of motivation who have been shifting theology to accommodate evolving knowledge of the universe around us. The atheists of my acquaintance all have direction and More

Stephen, This is a good and, often overlooked, point. I had a case in grad school that centered on a situation where a new-to-the-area bank hr executive was faced with trying to build up his bank's business with the Chinese community. His rival was an executive of Asian-descent . Nearly everyone in the class assumed that the Asian community preferred the executive of Asian-descent, with the exception of a few of us. The nut of the case was that the community wanted the More

Obviously unit prices are a factor in determining total healthcare costs, but so is the demand for those services by beneficiaries. As long as Uncle Sugar happily pays the bill without questioning either the unit price (actually the unit price is DETERMINED by Uncle Sugar) or the volume of services provided (churning DOES exist in health care, too) the total cost of health care is bound to climb. The only method for delivering unrationed health care that actually seems More

It's trivial, really. As long as an athlete shows silent respect when ANY country's anthem is sung, there should be no issue. You don't know what does respect mean is in someone's heart just from whether or not they lip sync words. As for me, I am glad that I am always moved by the Star Spangled Banner, and I was taught to show respect for the anthem and the flag. Respect is the key, some people just don't sing, they prefer to dribble, pass, and shoot! Just don't be More

Correction. The candidate should do whatever the employer wants him to do relative to applying for the job. If the person thinks the procedure reflects poorly on the company or is too onerous or he is not capable of using pen and paper, he can walk out the door and apply somewhere else. Personally, I have things automated; however, to suggest a company is rude, arrogant and brainless for requesting an applicant to fill out paperwork is ridiculous. Maybe the employer wants More

These thing have been going on from time immemorial and will continue. Who would expect the 1906 Earthquake that hit El Salvador would have sank Port Royal in Jamaica. God is coming, yes; but do we know when, no. Evolution is a time span that does not include exact time limits. I consider an Earthquake as emotional how to build a resume up. We over time build either from frustration or other, and after a while we can't hold it anymore. The same maybe true for Earthquakes, More

Bill's popularity is primarily that of a movie star or motivational speaker. The voting public, for the most part, knows exactly who he is. He loves how to get promoted take credit now for a 'robust economy' but if he and Hillary had gotten the legislation, including nationalized health care, that he wanted, the country would have tanked in 1993. He was rescued economically by the landslide conservative Congress. But, militarily, after he'd decimated those branches, and More

Mossberg is mostly an Apple fanboy so his review didn't surprise me. I've followed the development of Window Phone 7, reviewed hands-on demos,and read many positive reviews. I'm a techncial sales manager resume manager needing Office application/Exchange email integration. My wife is a general user who wants something simple. Windows Phone 7 fullfills both needs. In fact the Windows Phone 7's metro UI and functionality is so compelling, in December we'll upgrade from our More

What too many Republicans do not yet get - Mitch McConnell in particular - is that the reason the Republicans took a shellacking in 2006 was exactly because of their out of control spending under GW - esp the new Medicare entitlement of free medicines. If they capitulate again on the debt ceiling and the spending reductions - as they did in April - they will be in serious trouble in 2012 - an election which is shaping up to be an tax extension 2012 of the tsunami of the More

So why do you wanna hire customer service there?? India has a long history and therefore many strengths as it regards non verbal communication skills, but a round peg can't be assumed by a square hole overnight. India is ascendant in technology partly because its languages are old and therefore have nuance, which is a strength in technological discussion and communication. However, expecting them to communicate with relevance to Americans nearly as well as Americans communicate More
