Monday, March 8, 2010. Several new posts and many links. Please visit my blog, On Prisons. I am shocked and saddened by what I have been learning the last few weeks about prisons and the millions of prisoners we have abandoned to them. Posted by Charles Saline. Links to this post. Thursday, March 4, 2010. Since we addressed the Nazis, here is color footage of Hitler's Lair. Posted by Charles Saline. Links to this post. Wednesday, March 3, 2010. Is there a moral difference between Nazis and Communists?

Charles Saline: General Thoughts you might find useful
http://charlessaline.blogspot.com/2010/03/general-thoughts-you-might-find-useful.html
Tuesday, March 2, 2010. General Thoughts you might find useful. My first degree was in physics and my second was in law. I tended to believe that we should be rigorous in our logic when analyzing every issue, even moral and cultural ones. I also thought that we should, when making a point, sound very professional and balanced, give all of our reasons and address all counterarguments. A good example of this approach can be found in Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica. Posted by Charles Saline. Dale Carnegie ...

I would say that Stalin and Hitler were equally evil. The Holocaust was hardly better or worse than the countless millions of landowners, Ukrainians, ordinary citizens, military officers and others who were starved to death, murdered or sent to gulags.

Charles Saline: Industrialization, Urbanization and Centralization
http://charlessaline.blogspot.com/2010/02/industrialization-urbanization-and.html
Thursday, February 18, 2010. Industrialization, Urbanization and Centralization. Due to various changes, some having to do with farm technology and transport, a much smaller portion of the population was needed for food production and distribution. A particular farmer could easily end up with a small farm without the resources to support a multi-generational home. His kids would need to find their own way. A Longer living and healthier populations (due to improved medical and other conditions, such as sa...

Charles Saline: Observations about successful countries - this is not meant to be a thorough examination and I focused mostly on major countries.
http://charlessaline.blogspot.com/2010/03/observations-about-successful-countries.html
Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Observations about successful countries - this is not meant to be a thorough examination and I focused mostly on major countries. Successful countries in recent times? This is not meant to be a comprehensive list, and reflects my limited knowledge as an American. Strong points: starting around 1900, high population, high social order, educated and industrious people, sufficiently entreprenurial, isolated from potential enemies by sea. Negatives: Were cruel to native Americans, ado...

Charles Saline: On Prisons
http://charlessaline.blogspot.com/p/on-prisons.html
Set the prisoners free! I have the not-so-radical belief that the modern prison system is far more cruel and less effective than traditional punishments or new alternatives. For murder, I agree, but I say we should execute most murderers. But our current prison system is not really deterrent enough, for it is very hard to deter crime. A better approach, given that many do not wish to execute, is to minimize the danger to others and maximize the possibility of rehabilitation. The criminal record system al...

Charles Saline: The Best News so far
http://charlessaline.blogspot.com/2010/02/best-news-so-far.html
Wednesday, February 10, 2010. The Best News so far. Jesus was born King of Kings. I do not follow Jesus. I am not a Christian. But He entered a world of hate and He and his followers taught the world how to love and have mercy like no one else before. Jesus is the Master of Mercy. Remember the woman who committed adultery? Jesus said to go and sin no more. He didn't try to find reasons to stone her. Jesus is the Master at explaining mercy so it makes sense. Anyone can argue against mercy:. Book Reviews b...
