Download or read book Earth s Rubicon written by Richard Pryor and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2023-08-10 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The High Council of Sentients is comprised of Gray Elders. Each Elder is charged with exploring, developing, and maintaining a full quadrant (or one-fourth) of the known Universe through peace, understanding and enlightenment among all its life forms (sentient and non-sentient). It was an awesome responsibility for each Gray Elder. Today, there was considerable tension at this High Council meeting. Elders were greatly concerned about the pace, direction and changes required for Earth (its newest intergalactic member). Some High Council members felt that it was dealing with a ‘petulant’ planet. Earth’s leaders felt they were being ‘bullied’ into terms unbecoming of enlightened extraterrestrials. Specifically, the High Council’s Plan for Earth could not be implemented because of three key points. First, mankind lacked a ‘one world governance’ structure capable of speaking to it with one voice. Second, mankind hesitated to fully embrace AI (artificial intelligence). Finally, mankind ignored many planetary problems, despite having pledged to address them. Simply put, Earth is now in a state of chaos and rudderless. Its leaders are desperate to find any common, unified vision for effective governance; questions persist about AI and its existential risk to mankind; and, Earth’s greatest planetary threats remain unattended. Fortunately, the Grays enlist the aid of a ‘maverick’ Ambassador and both begin to take charge. A new, seven-member continental world government is selected and installed; a plan to boost mankind’s level of intelligence is cleverly implemented; and, Earth’s newly ‘unelected’ government enacts a series of decisive protocols and takes bold action to heal Earth before it’s too late. So join this new, exciting intergalactic sci-fi thriller about how mankind seemingly “gets its act together” and takes a rightful place at the High Council’s table to help govern the Universe.
Download or read book The World s Most Famous Court Trial written by John Thomas Scopes and published by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complete transcript of the controversial "Scopes Monkey Trial" which tested the law that made it illegal for public school teachers in Tennessee to teach Charles Darwin's theory of evolution The complete transcript of the 1925 case of the State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes, a 24-year old high school teacher accused of violating the Butler Act, which had passed in Tennessee on March 21, 1925, forbidding the teaching, in any state-funded educational establishment, of "any theory that denies the story of the divine creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals." The law made it. Perhaps the first modern media event, the trial attracted enormous national and international attention to the small town of Dayton, Tennessee during the sweltering July of 1925. A star-studded cast of trial attorneys included the great orator and three time Democratic presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan and the brilliant trial lawyer and champion of the downtrodden, Clarence Darrow, among others. The climax of the trial came on the seventh day when the defense put the senior Bryan on the stand as an expert on the Bible and he was ruthlessly interrogated by Darrow. As a milestone in the American struggle between modernity and the forces of Protestant fundamentalism, and a vivid manifestation of the clash between two valid principles-academic freedom and democratic control of the public schools-the Scopes case has tremendous historical significance. Scopes was found guilty, and paid a fine of $100. and costs. At the sentencing, he told the Judge, "I feel that I have been convicted of violating an unjust statute. I will continue in the future, as I have in the past, to oppose this law in any way I can. Any other action would be in violation of my ideal of academic freedom-that is, to teach the truth as guaranteed in our Constitution, of personal and religious freedom. I think the fine is unjust." William Jennings Bryan died a few days after the trial ended. Clarence Darrow moved on to other cases, most notably the Sweet case in Detroit in 1926 and his last trial, the Massie trial in Honolulu in 1931. Illustrated with photographs from the trial. This edition also includes statements by scientists entered at the defense's request, and the text of a lengthy concluding speech that Bryan prepared but never delivered. Clarence Darrow [1857-1938] was a well-known trial lawyer renowned for his progressive sympathies and successful work for labor and the poor. He achieved fame for his defense of Leopold and Loeb in 1924, the Massie trial in 1931 and this, his most famous, defense of John Scopes in 1925-the only time Darrow ever volunteered his services in a case, a case in which he saw education "in danger from the source that always hampered it-religious fanaticism."

For the city is on the edge of mass rioting due to the continuing reign of terror by the serial killer known only as Jack the Ripper, who is rampaging though London's less salubrious quarters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this collection are concerned with the epistemology of religious belief. The contributors disagree on such issues as whether philosophers have a role to play in determining the reasonableness or intelligibility of religious beliefs, or whether philosophy properly understood is a descriptive task. But all the papers are informed by the belief that philosophical discussion should proceed by giving attention to the character of the religious beliefs and practices under consideration.
