<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With perverse injustice, a wave of anti-american
verbal nastiness – accompanied by nice, liberal self-doubt – was triggered by
the physical anti-Americanism of September 11th. We hear talk of Coca-Cola,
MacDonalds and other unpopular icons of supposed American culture. These are
not what I would be sorry to lose, and they are relatively trivial. Modern
America is the principal inheritor, and today’s leading exponent, of
European scientific and rational civilization. And that means the
highest civilization ever, not excluding the greeks and the
Chinese.<BR>Richard Dawkins 9.27.01</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"If we execute murderers and there is in fact no
social deterrent effect, we have killed a bunch of murderers. If we fail to
execute murderers, and doing so would in fact have deterred other murders, we
have allowed the killing of a bunch of innocent victims. I would much rather
risk the former. This, to me, is not a tough call." <BR>John McAdams -
Marquette University/Department of Political Science, on
deterrence.<BR><BR></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
