This is puzzling to an outsider conscious of the classic tradition of liberalism, because it is clear that these Democrats who are left-of-center are at opposite poles from the liberal Jefferson, who held that the best government was the least government.

In fact it has caused us to give serious thought to moving our residence south, because it is not easy for the most objective Southerner to sit calmly by when his host is telling a roomful of people that the only way to deal with Southerners who oppose integration is to send in troops and shoot the bastards down.

Had the situation been reversed, had, for instance, England been the enemy in 1898 because of issues of concern chiefly to New England, there is little doubt that large numbers of Southerners would have happily put on their old Confederate uniforms to fight as allies of Britain.

But it is more than irony: one of the main reasons why nationalism is no longer a tenable concept is because it has spread throughout the planet.

The `` approximate '' is important, because even after the order of the work has been established by the chance method, the result is not inviolable.

Often it is recognized that all the details of the pattern may not be essential to the outcome but, because the pattern was empirically determined and not developed through theoretical understanding, one is never quite certain which behavior elements are effective, and the whole pattern becomes ritualized.

Yet often fear persists because, even with the most rigid ritual, one is never quite free from the uneasy feeling that one might make some mistake or that in every previous execution one had been unaware of the really decisive act.

Or is it relevant because it teaches us something useful to know about ourselves??

I knew that a conversation with the author would not settle such questions, because a man is not the same as his writing: in the last analysis, the questions had to be settled by the work itself.

I suggested that one must let it in because it is the truth, but Beckett did not take to the word truth.

That is why the form itself becomes a preoccupation, because it exists as a problem separate from the material it accommodates.

It is because there is not only darkness but also light that our situation becomes inexplicable.

If they avoid the use of the pungent, outlawed four-letter word it is because it is taboo ; ;

Jazz is good not only because it promotes wholeness but because of its decided sexual effect.

It is worth dwelling in some detail on the crisis of this story, because it brings together a number of characteristic elements and makes of them a curious, riddling compound obscurely but centrally significant for Mann's work.

The primary benefits over rifled barrels is reduced barrel wear, longer ranges that can be achieved ( due to the reduced loss of energy to friction and gas escaping around the projectile via the rifling ) and larger explosive cores for a given caliber artillery due to less metal needing to be used to form the case of the projectile because of less force applied to the shell from the non-rifled sides of the barrel of smooth bore guns.

Propellant is always a low explosive, this means it deflagrates instead of detonating, as with high explosives.

Because it is softer than most other metals in general use, brass is often used in situations where it is important that sparks not be struck, as in fittings and tools around explosive gases.

Unlike steel, bronze struck against a hard surface will not generate sparks, so it ( along with beryllium copper ) is used to make hammers, mallets, wrenches and other durable tools to be used in explosive atmospheres or in the presence of flammable vapors.

Acetone is required for the production of cordite, a powerful propellant explosive needed to fire ammunition without generating tell-tale smoke.

It uses an explosive core of pentaerythritol tetranitrate which is inside its plastic coating

A cruise missile is a guided missile that carries an explosive payload and is propelled, usually by a jet engine, towards a land-based or sea-based target.

It is also used off-label for a variety of indications, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ), schizophrenia, phantom limb syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, paroxysmal extreme pain disorder, neuromyotonia, intermittent explosive disorder, borderline personality disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

The thickest, strongest, and closed part of the cone is located near the explosive charge.

As any explosive charge will dissipate in all directions equally, the thickest portion of the cannon is useful for containing and directing this force.

The term cannon is also used for autocannon, a modern repeating weapon firing explosive projectiles.

A catapult is a device used to throw or hurl a projectile a great distance without the aid of explosive devices — particularly various types of ancient and medieval siege engines.

The lava of explosive calderas is called A ' a.

As a result, the magma is much less viscous than the magma of a rhyolitic volcano, and the magma chamber is drained by large lava flows rather than by explosive events.

The result is in fact an exponential growth, thus giving rise to explosive increases in reaction rates, and indeed to chemical explosions themselves.

* Disruption is a method of disabling an explosive device by using projected water disruptors.

Dynamite is an explosive material based on nitroglycerin, initially using diatomaceous earth ( AmE: kieselgur ; BrE: kieselguhr ), or another absorbent substance such as powdered shells, clay, sawdust, or wood pulp.

Dynamite is a high explosive, which means its power comes from detonation rather than deflagration.

Nitroglycerin by itself is a very strong explosive, and in its pure form it is extremely shock-sensitive ( that is, physical shock can cause it to explode ), and degrades over time to even more unstable forms.

It is thick, much like an egg plant's skin, so that poison sprays, if they are used, present no hazard to the consumer.

While they can be a human safety hazard, it is productive for these ecosystems to burn out every once in a while so that new organisms can begin to grow and thrive.

This hazard is serious because of the large quantities one must trade in order to make a profit on small price differences.

The narrow fringing reef surrounding the island can be a maritime hazard, so there is a day beacon near the old village site.

The atoll has long been a maritime hazard and is the site of numerous shipwrecks.

Barcelonnette is also exposed to the possibility of a technological hazard in that road transport of dangerous materials is allowed to pass through on the RD900.

A major natural hazard is the tropical cyclones that form during the Atlantic hurricane season from July to November.

It is derived from grand hazard, and both can be considered a variant of sic bo, a popular casino game, although chuck-a-luck is more of a carnival game than a true casino game.

Like many powders, dysprosium powder may present an explosion hazard when mixed with air and when an ignition source is present.

A disaster is a natural or man-made ( or technological ) hazard resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment.

A natural disaster is a consequence when a natural hazard affects humans and / or the built environment.

It is this type of damage which causes these types of radiation to be especially carefully monitored, due to their hazard, even at comparatively low-energies, to all living organisms.

The Hazard Class and Division ( HC / D ) is a numeric designator within a hazard class indicating the character, predominance of associated hazards, and potential for causing personnel casualties and property damage.

It is an internationally accepted system that communicates using the minimum amount of markings the primary hazard associated with a substance.

Mechanical malfunctions of the firearm are generally referred to as " jams ", and include failures to feed, extract, or eject a cartridge ; failure to fully cycle after firing ; and failure of a recoil-or gas-operated firearm to lock back when empty ( largely a procedural hazard, as " slide lock " is a visual cue that the firearm is empty ).

Consequently research on Galen's work is fraught with hazard.

Some further justification is also provided by invoking the moral hazard of explicit insurance contracts.

This is associated with reduced purchasing of insurance against low-probability losses, and may result in increased inefficiencies from moral hazard.

Wild plants and animals do not perceive radiation as dangerous, and any slight reduction it may cause in their lifespans is far less a hazard than is the presence of people and their pets ...

The highest point on the reef is less than above sea level, which is wetted or awash most of the time, making Kingman Reef a maritime hazard.
