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.

N scale's popularity is second only to that of HO.

This boiling – point difference of 16. 1 millikelvins between the Celsius scale's original definition and the current one ( based on absolute zero and the triple point ) has little practical meaning in real life because water's boiling point is extremely sensitive to variations in barometric pressure.

The redefinition is thus the first aspect, the transposition the second aspect.

In the Brookings Institution report Dealing with Neighbourhood Change: A Primer on Gentrification and Policy Choices ( 2001 ), Maureen Kennedy and Paul Leonard say that " the term ' gentrification ' is both imprecise and quite politically charged ", suggesting its redefinition as " the process by which higher income households displace lower income residents of a neighbourhood, changing the essential character and flavour of that neighbourhood ", so distinguishing it from the different socio-economic process of " neighbourhood ( or urban ) revitalization ", although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably.

The modern use of the term is a redefinition of the original sense.

For example, one possible proposed redefinition is " the ampere ... is such that the value of the elementary charge e ( charge on a proton ) is exactly 1. 602176487 × 10 < sup >− 19 </ sup > coulomb " This proposal is not yet accepted as part of the SI system: The SI definitions are unlikely to change until at least 2015.

Dennett and his eliminative materialist supporters, however, respond that the aforementioned " subjective aspect " of conscious minds is nonexistent, an unscientific remnant of commonsense " folk psychology ," and that his alleged redefinition is the only coherent description of consciousness.

John Searle, for example, argues ( Intentionality: An Essay in the Philosophy of Mind ) that, once we discover that our water is H < sub > 2 </ sub > O, we have the choice of either redefining it as H < sub > 2 </ sub > O ( a classical reduction redefinition ) or continuing to allow the term water to refer to anything with the basic properties of water ( transparency, wetness, etc .).

Regardless of whether Person 2's statement about blood circulation is true or not, the redefinition of " mysterious " is so broad that it omits significant contrast in the level of scientific understanding between earthquakes and blood circulation.

The redefinition is not always so obvious.

The wedge strategy, as envisioned by the Discovery Institute, is designed to leave the science establishment looking close-minded in the short term with a long-term goal being a redefinition of science that centers on the removal of methodological naturalism from the philosophy of science and the scientific method, thereby allowing for supernatural explanations to be introduced as science.

Chen's notion of the CCP as a " ruling party " is central to the redefinition of the role of the Party in Jiang Zemin's Three Represents.

Some taxonomists, such as Benton ( 2004 ), have co-opted the term to fit into traditional rank-based classifications, making Sauropsida and Synapsida class-level taxa to replace the traditional Class Reptilia, while Modesto and Anderson ( 2004 ), using the PhyloCode standard, have suggested replacing the name Sauropsida with their redefinition of Reptilia, arguing that the latter is by far better known and should have priority.

" She went on to argue that " bsent consensus on the issue, or unanimity amongst scientists studying the issue, or a more prolonged period of observation of this new family structure, it is rational for the Legislature to postpone any redefinition of marriage that would include same-sex couples until such time as it is certain that redefinition will not have unintended and undesirable social consequences.

`` I may possibly be a greater risk than is the normal person of my age '', the President had said on February 29th of the election year, ignoring the fact that no one of his age had ever lived out another term.

A cross-section of a normal lower human leg is shown in Fig. 8 with the various parts labeled.

The concept of the strain energy as a Gibbs function difference Af and exerting a force normal to the shearing face is compatible with the information obtained from optical birefringence studies of fluids undergoing shear.

Af appeared to be well suited for the study of these matters, since it is a normal paramagnet, with three unpaired electrons on the chromium, its crystal structure is very simple, and the unknown position of the hydrogen in the strong Af bond provides structural interest.

The Af layers are stacked normal to the ( 111 ) axis with the lower oxygens of one layer directly above the upper oxygens of the neighboring lower layer, in such a manner that the repeat is every three layers.

The bond angles and distances are all within the expected limits and the volume per oxygen is about normal.

It is very unlikely that either of these anacondas was growing at a normal rate.

the former figure is based on a somewhat unusual birth of four by a Central American female ( see chapter on Laying, Brooding, Hatching, and Birth ), the latter on a `` normal '' newly born individual.

In the presence of a low iodine intake, thyroglobulin labelled in vivo with Af is found to contain more mono-iodotyrosine than normal, the amounts of di-iodotyrosine and iodothyronines being correspondingly reduced.

Second, what is its concentration in normal circumstances and in what circumstances will this concentration depart from the normal level and in which direction??

Whether this abnormal TSH differs chemically from pituitary TSH, or is, alternatively, normal TSH with its period of effectiveness modified by some other blood constituent, cannot be decided without chemical study of the activity in the blood of these patients and a comparison of the substance responsible for the blood activity with pituitary Aj.

In both conditions the emotional and perceptual sensitivity is diminished, but no depression occurs such as is seen clinically or may be produced in normal persons by drugs.
