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.

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 correctness of Varro's calculation has not been proven scientifically but is still used worldwide.

From this it follows that correctness of drawing depends solely upon the principal rays ; and is independent of the sharpness or curvature of the image field.

Furthermore, by breaking the system up into smaller components, the complexity of individual components is reduced, opening up the possibility of using techniques such as automated theorem proving to prove the correctness of crucial software subsystems.

Not surprisingly, it is impractical for generalized correctness, which probably cannot even be defined, much less proven.

It is heavily utilized by the Database and Storage engines ( see above ) both to guarantee the correct execution of concurrent transactions, and ( different mechanisms ) the correctness of other DBMS processes.

Often, when possible without harming correctness, the serializability property is compromised for better performance.

* Locking is the most common transaction concurrency control method in DBMSs, used to provide both serializability and recoverability for correctness.

Eiffel's most important contribution to software engineering is design by contract ( DbC ), in which assertions, preconditions, postconditions, and class invariants are employed to help ensure program correctness without sacrificing efficiency.

Different opinions arise only from the application of these preconceptions to particular cases, and it is then that the darkness of ignorance, which blindly maintains the correctness of its own opinion, must be dispelled.

Whatever strategy is used ( simple or mutual ), the level of protection strongly depends on the correctness of the implementation of the web browser and the server software and the actual cryptographic algorithms supported.

The correctness of decisions is measured by two major criteria:

The Department of Safeguards is responsible for carrying out this mission, through technical measures designed to verify the correctness and completeness of states ' nuclear declarations.

One school is sometimes called exclusive legal positivism, and it is associated with the view that the legal validity of a norm can never depend on its moral correctness.

It is in this sense that St Paul's words are taken by the Fathers of the fourth and fifth centuries like St Hilary of Poitiers, St Ambrose, and St Augustine, and there seems no reason to doubt the correctness of their interpretation.

A distinction may be made here between etic and emic viewpoints – the purely descriptive ( etic ) approach which simply considers any system that is actually used, and the emic view which takes account of language users ' perceptions of correctness, which are analogous in some ways to a moral sense of right and wrong.

While censorious political correctness threatened Punch and Judy performances in the UK and other English speaking countries for a time, the show is having one of its cyclical recurrences and can now be seen not only in England, Wales, and Ireland, but also in Canada, the United States ( including Puerto Rico ), Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

The goal of a type system is to verify and usually enforce a certain level of correctness in programs written in that language by detecting certain incorrect operations.

Political correctness ( adjectivally, politically correct ; both forms commonly abbreviated to PC ) is a term which denotes language, ideas, policies, and behavior seen as seeking to minimize social and institutional offense in occupational, gender, racial, cultural, sexual orientation, certain other religions, beliefs or ideologies, disability, and age-related contexts, and, as purported by the term, doing so to an excessive extent.

In the United Kingdom, " political correctness gone mad " is a catchphrase associated with the conservative Daily Mail newspaper.

Discussion of political correctness, to the extent that it uses the term and accepts the existence of political correctness as a significant force, is almost invariably critical.

But there is every reason to regard deal as a monosyllable, and because of the fact that /l/ commonly has the quality of AAb/ when it follows vowel sounds, deal seems to be a perfectly satisfactory rhyme with deal.

The bondage endurable by an oral poet is to be estimated only by a very skilful oral poet, but it appears safe to assume that no sustained narrative in rhyme could be composed without extreme difficulty, even in a language of many terminal inflections.

It is based on of long kacida ( poems ) single rhyme and the monotonous sound of the flute.

The above cartoon is a depiction of the nursery rhyme " Little Miss Muffet ", in which the title character is " frightened away " by a spider.

One example is " berk ", a mild pejorative widely used across the UK and not usually considered particularly offensive, although the origin lies in a contraction of " Berkeley Hunt ", as the rhyme for the significantly more offensive " cunt ".

Poetry is esteemed, including extemporaneous rhyme competitions on given topics.

Its rhyme scheme found in the first seven lines is repeated in the first seven lines of the second stanza.

More important is the musical effect in which a smooth, rather swift forward movement is emphasized by the relation of grammatical structure to line and rhyme, yet is impeded and thrown back upon itself even from the beginning ".
