QUOTE: Taxonomy of ideas?

Thursday, August 7, 2008

“Various kinds of ideas can be classified by their relationship to the authentication process. There are ideas systematically prepared for authentication (“theories”), ideas not derived from any systematic process (“visions”), ideas which could not survive any reasonable authentication process (“illusions”), ideas which exempt themselves from any authentication process (“myths”), ideas which have already passed authentication processes (“facts”), as well as ideas known to have failed- or certain to fail- such processes (“falsehoods” – both mistakes and lies).” – Thomas Sowell

SPRINGFIELD | Gov hopes to raise millions to fight crime by putting cameras on interstates
August 7, 2008
FRANK MAIN Crime Reporter/fmain@suntimes.com

*** begin quote ***

To make good on his offer to help Chicago combat violence, Gov. Blagojevich envisions putting speed cameras on interstates across Illinois — and using the revenue to form an “elite tactical team” that would operate in Chicago and other cities.

*** end quote ***

When will folks realize that the political class is sticking it to them. This is nothing more than fund raising and highway robbery.
