Normally, when a sports arena reaches the end of its life, it's torn down. In Wichita, self-proclaimed "Air Capital of the World," however, it's renovated and converted into a state-of-the-art full-size aircraft test facility. Last month the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) at Wichita State University (WSU) finished the transformation of the former Britt Brown Arena/Kansas Coliseum into the brand-new Aircraft Structural Testing and Evaluation Center (Astec for short), one of four Wichita-area aviation test facilities currently operated by the school.
Wichita State University
The National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) at Wichita State University has received Nadcap AC7122/1 accreditation for non-metallic materials testing, including composites and adhesive/adhesive primer. NIAR is one of only seven test laboratories in the U.S. with the accreditation, according to Tracee Friess, marketing and communication manager. "Nadcap is an industry-managed consensus approach to OEM oversight of suppliers.
In the wake of news that Boeing plans to close its defense, space and security operations in Wichita by the end of 2013, the Greater Wichita Economic Development Coalition (GWEDC) has helped launch an aviation task force to develop strategies that will promote the city's aviation industries.
Wichita State University has risen to second among the nation's universities in aeronautical research and development expenditures, according to the latest information from the National Science Foundation's National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics.
Hawker Beechcraft and the State of Kansas announced a formal agreement on December 21 for the airframer to remain in Wichita for the next decade.
Hawker Beechcraft has reached a formal agreement with the state of Kansas that the Wichita OEM says provides a "significant" incentive for "the company to maintain its presence in Wichita over the next 10 years." The state's incentive package requires Hawker Beechcraft to maintain its current product lines in Wichita and retain at least 4,000 jobs over the next 10 years.
World-class aviation and aerospace training joined world-class research, design, testing and manufacturing in a ceremony Tuesday at the Wichita State University National Institute for Aviation Research booth (No. 1107).
An online composites maintenance technology course begins March 1 and is hosted by Wichita State University's National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) and Wichita Area Technical College through the National Center for Aviation Training. The course, sponsored by the FAA, focuses on critical composite materials maintenance and repair safety issues, according to NIAR.
Wichita's new National Center for Aviation Training (NCAT), still under construction, is offering nondestructive testing (NDT) courses this fall. Through a cooperative effort between Wichita State University's National Institute for Aviation Research and Wichita Area Technical College (WATC), NCAT will offer a series of 11 NDT courses at WATC's Comotara Center campus.
Bombardier Aerospace has tapped the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) at Wichita State University to provide material and structural testing and certification for the new Learjet 85. NIAR will be involved in FAA certification of the all-composite midsize twinjet, ranging from small coupon sample testing to structural certification of full-scale components.

10.7: Dual Monitor full-screen app trick
It works... the 2nd app must not be running when you invoke it, and can't be in fullscreen mode. I'm happy to have that space back though!
10.7: Dual Monitor full-screen app trick
How do I invoke the second app while it's not running while half way between two spaces. if anybody could provide some more detail about this I'd really appreciate it as I hate having that blank "fabric" space with my multi monitor setup and full screen mode.
Lion did not take anything away. You can use eg Mail exactly the same way with multiple monitors in Lion as in Snow Leopard.

World Series of Poker champ Greg Raymer -- aka "FossilMan" -- won't rot behind bars for allegedly soliciting a female prostitute in North Carolina back in March ... he paid his debt to society another way.
As we reported, 49-year-old Raymer -- who's married -- was busted at a Wake Forest hotel during a sting operation, and was subsequently charged with soliciting a hooker.
According to the court documents, obtained by TMZ, officials believe Raymer intended to commit a sexual act that is described as an "abominable and detestable crime against nature."
The document does not specify which "abominable and detestable" sex act he allegedly had in mind, so, you can let your imaginations run wild with that one.
But good news for Raymer ... both charges have been dismissed ... after the man successfully completed 75 hours of community service at a local non-profit.
According to official documents, Raymer -- whose total tournament winnings exceed $7.2 million -- also underwent a mental health assessment.
Not the best hand. But not the worst either.
This dude looks creepy as hell without his sunglasses.
Yeah. I think if you're really old or ugly, they just probably shouldn't even charge you.
Let's be honest: The only way he's getting it is by paying for it.
Well they bleeped out my word so ill phrase it differently, he is a dirty fat piece of trash.
That guy looks mean as a stoat. Someone needs to rescue his wife from him.
Haha, probably one of the few people can say his eyes are even scarier than the ones on those glasses.
"Whoever commits the abominable and detestable crime against nature with mankind or beast shall be deemed guilty of sodomy."
Donkey show.
He looks like the type that eats $hlt...literally
Has Fossilman met Lindsay? Sounds like a date made in heaven, eh?
bucket pleassse!
Omg, I just about tossed my coffee! And he's MARRIED? How would ya' like waking up and looking that that mug first thing in the morning?
Based on his appearance....any sexual act he performs could be described as abominable and detestable.

Diamond Aircraft Dealers Launch DiamondShare Program in Eastern U.S.
Three regional Diamond aircraft dealers in the Eastern U.S. launched a DA 40 XLS/XLT shared-ownership program today at the Sun 'n Fun Fly-in in Lakeland, Fla. Dubbed DiamondShare, the program offsets the cost of aircraft ownership by providing two or three "members" who pay a fixed monthly fee to the aircraft owner for access to the airplane. The participating dealers are Great Lakes Diamond Aircraft Sales, Premier Aircraft Sales and Dominion Aircraft Sales.
"It's not the old flying club or equity partnership arrangement; you are the sole owner of the aircraft and you avoid all the complexities of partnership formation, financial overhead and management of these programs," according to Dominion president John Armstrong. "The program is a sensible way to own or fly a new Diamond Aircraft."
Notably, DiamondShare owners set the policy for access, use and general scheduling, as well as the number of members, up to the maximum of three. According to the Diamond dealers, signing two members can cover most of the monthly aircraft payment, while a third covers the bulk of any remaining expenses. Another benefit is that this share arrangement moves the ownership type from personal to business, meaning that the owner also gains tax-depreciation benefits.
The turnkey program also includes such benefits as comprehensive insurance for all pilots flying the shared aircraft, online scheduling, airplane-specific training tools and member recruitment, among others.

News Posted On: 01 September 2011
The Swiss property market is going from strength to strength, with growth being reported in sales, rental values and construction starts. Many economists put the growth down to economic expansion, increased demand for housing and low interest rates.
However there are worries that the strength of the Swiss franc could stifle growth as costs increase and inflation rises. The Swiss government has recognised the risk and taken measures to address it, including steps to make the market more open to foreign buyers.
The prices of owner occupied apartments increased by 5.08% year-on-year to the first quarter of 2011, while the price of a single family homes increased by 4.37%, and apartment rents increased by 1.44%.
Between the years of 2000 and 2010, the prices of single family homes in Switzerland increased by 35.9%, and apartment rents increased by 35.8%.
Construction has also been strong, with over 40,000 new apartments completed last year, a 3.9% increase on the previous year -- though still lower than the running average of 42,000 between 2006 and 2008.
The Swiss market is doing well, and experts put this down to several factors. The main reason according to experts is increased immigrants in the last few year increasing demand for housing. However, they also put it down to the fact that Switzerland is viewed as a safe-haven, and investment in the country has increased because of this. On top of that Interest rates here are still low, and the economy officially emerged from recession in mid-2009, and expanded by 2.55% last year, although growth is predicted to be about 2% this year.

I almost made this recipe for my daughter�s Halloween party Saturday, but we had a ton of food already, so I didn�t. Good thing, too, because I am supposed to bring treats to the newspaper tomorrow for the United Way Bake Sale. I totally forgot, but luckily I had all the ingredients I needed to make these tonight.
Even better, this is my third to last apple recipe of The 2012 Apple Challenge.
Fill 12 greased or paper-lined jumbo muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 350� for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
In a small saucepan, cook the caramels and milk over low heat until smooth. Spread over cupcakes. Sprinkle with pecans. Insert a wooden stick into the center of each cupcake.Source: www.tasteofhome.com

I get the point of not labeling it a 'R' A. It's an A, pure and simple; a really shitty decision that I felt entitled to make.
It was a combination of I wanted to fuck that guy, and I wanted to wait until the perfect time to throw it in XH's face, so as to cause the maximum amount of damage.
Obviously, I was pretty fucked in the head at the time. I can't say which is worse: XH and multiple As, or my desire to hurt him as much as I possibly could. What's worse, having a shark bite off your arm or having it torn off by industrial machinery? They both suck.
However, it has been extremely difficult for us not to compare the two situations. It helped me recognize the wayward mindset but when it came right down to it and I realized what I was doing was wrong (to me, no one else) and the alarm bell went off, my immediate gut reaction was NO -- this is wrong. I can't do that and I can't lie about it. Doesn't mean I was an awesome wife or human being, it just meant that something internal stopped me. When my husband came to that same fork in the road, he went the other way.
This was my story to a degree as well. I acted on my attraction and crossed the line with a friend, We kissed were physical on one occassion. I walked out on them and disclosed to my H.
I still two years after discovering my H's infidelity struggle with his very different choice. to actively pursue and affair, lie to me and our children. By his count for nearly four months.with over 30 - 40 encounters, 1000's of texts, 100's of phone calls.
Although we have come along way in our healing journey, this is still the the scratch on the record that repeats in my head.
The lenght of time between our infidelities did help. H. is very clear that my unfaithful actions 11 years ago did not effect his decision to be unfaithful. They did help his justifcation
once he was and wanted to continue his affair.
After discovery, that justification evaporated for him. He said it lifted like the smoke screen it was - because he understood the courage it took me to disclose. Courage he couldn't find himself. They were his words.
I can attest to anyone who is hanging in indecision. Disclosing your infidelity it tough - but when you offer your partner the truth - it helps healing beyond description. We are a living example of the place the choice to disclose or not disclose can lead you.
We understand his gaslighting and trickle feed of the truth on discovery did even worse damage than the act of infidelity itself. Damge to us both individually and to our marriage.
Healing is a long journey home to yourself. The act of honesty and owning your choices is much a gift to yourself as it is to your partner.
blessings to you all.

great ski, really really smooth ride when your headed in for a hit and it wont bang out on landings. good for rails as well. it works really well in any conditions, icey or gnarly, it can handle it. they are also pretty fast, even when carving, you cant loose speed easily with these things, but you still have one sweet ride.

Officers investigating an assault in the city centre have released CCTV images of four teens.
A man, aged 25, and his wife were walking on the ramp near New Street Station at around 7:15PM on Monday 16th December when a group of four teenagers started to shine the laser at him. He asked them what they were doing and the group then followed the couple onto Hill Street and started shouting at them.
Shortly after they threw a lipstick at the couple and two of teens punched the man a number of times causing a cut to his eye lid, brusing to his face and a graze on his wrist before running back towards New Street Station.
PC Paul Davey, from the Birmingham Investigation Team, said: "These images are really clear and I am certain that someone will recognise those pictured and be able to help us identify them. The couple were in the city minding their own business when they were set upon by this group − it's completely unacceptable and we want to track them down so that we can progress our investigation."
Please call WMP on 101 if you have ANY information.

This year in the 2012 Olympics women are competing from every country that is participating in the Olympics including, for the first time ever, Saudi Arabia, Brunei and Qatar. To be clear, Qatar and Brunei weren't as resistant as our dear friends in the Middle East–Saudi Arabia who made women's inclusion next to impossible. They finally gave in when the International Olympic committee threatened to ban their participation in the games.
Almonitor has a brief history of when most countries in the Middle East and North Africa began to allow women to compete from Iran to Bahrain. The last of the region's hold outs included:
…Kuwait (which sent its first female athlete in 2004), Oman (2008), UAE (2008), and of course Qatar and Saudi Arabia (both 2012). The participation of women from the latter two countries—as well as from Brunei—marks the first time that every country has sent a woman to compete in the Olympics. Qatar is sending four women to participate in four events: athletics, shooting, swimming, and table tennis.
Of the two women that Saudi Arabia sent, Wujdan Shahrkhani and Sarah Attar, Shahrkhani was told last week she couldn't compete in judo wearing a hijab. But the International Olympic and the International Federation of Judo came to a compromise with the Saudi National Olympic Committee for an acceptable version of the head scarf so that she could compete. Top women's judo players backed the decision saying that it might impact her own performance, but they can see nothing wrong with letting Shahrkhani compete with it on.
Which is great–whether you agree with veiling or not, after pushing Saudi Arabia to include women in the Olympics and then this young woman qualified and made it to London–she should be able to compete. If only those that make legislation concerning women's bodies were this willing to compromise!

10 Tips to Increase Your Home's Value
Increasing the value of your home is easier than you think. Follow these tips, and your home will be worth more before you know it.
Print OptionsClose
E-mail This Page to Your Friendsx
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Curb appeal counts.
Want a fresh perspective on the value of your home? Walk across the street, turn around and ask yourself, "Does my house have curb appeal?" Does your home look attractive, welcoming and structurally sound at first glance?
Make a list of ways to enhance the positive and eliminate the negative. If you have a nice curvy walkway, accentuate it with flowers or lanterns. If the first thing a visitor sees is your big wide garage, try to guide their eyes into a beautiful front yard, or paint your front door red to guide the eye there. These things add value.
Take a digital photo and look at your home in black and white. When the color is removed, the truth comes out. That is where you see the cracks in the walls and the glaring flaws.
Keep things clean and tidy. Talk to your neighbors because this affects them too. Curb appeal doesn't stop at your property line. Your home will be more valuable if you live in a place where everyone pays attention to appearance.
Host a neighborhood cleanup party. Team up with neighbors to mow lawns and trim hedges. See who wants to go in on a few flats of border flowers. By adding curb appeal to your entire neighborhood, you will all boost your home values.
When you're looking at your curb appeal, don't forget the side and rear views. Buyers walk around and peek over fences.

When it's time to liquidate a family estate what are the first things we think of as having value. The dinning room is our first thought for its silverware, crystal and that special dinner ware that you only saw on holidays. Then we hurry into the bedroom and locate the jewelry boxes. After that it's the furniture, lamps and perhaps those favorite paintings, or pottery.
Traditionally the values have always been highest in these areas and often the other items are over looked. I'm talking about the stuff you find in the back of the chest of drawers, in the closets, on the tables, shelves and throughout the kitchen. Pocket knives, lighters, buttons, old postcards, kitchen gadgets, the old appliances, shop tools, linens, toys, books, record albums, medicine bottles, luggage, costume jewelry, clothing apparel, photo-albums, holiday decorations.
The list is unending because these items are not as important as the fine silver, china or the heirloom desk, but they were part of our everyday fabric of life. You might be surprised to find that all those miscellaneous items can have collectively quite a value.
Here are just a few examples of items that are often overlooked for value:
This is a nice vintage double blade pocket knife marked "IMPERIAL PROV. RI U.S.A." on the 2.2" long blade, with a crown above the mark, the other blades are 1.25" long.
The gold washed exterior of this vintage pen knife is elaborately engraved with fanciful scroll and floral work. The smaller of its two blades is marked "Keene New York M.I. Germany."
To see this to see this Imperial knifeon GoAntique.com, click here. To see this Keen knife, click here;
Some of the old collectible pocket knives were made by companies like Case, Keen, Buck and Kabar and should not be overlooked. These little knives may be stuck back in a drawer or in old storage box. These are just a few of the collectible makers of pocket knives, which can bring in a tidy little sum: a Keen knife with two blades, the longer of which at 3.5 inches, can bring $45.00; A vintage Buck #301 with three blades, $30; An old Case XX pocket knife with two blades (2.25″), $40.
Not too many people smoke anymore, but the cigarette lighters are very collectible; especially when they are from a well known company or famous designer. Everyone knows Playboy and its classic black-and-white "Bunny" design. The Ronson pocket-style Bunny lighter from the 1950′s is priced from $14 to $18. Ronson makes a slim, classic-style pocket lighter that many companies have used to promote their products, from Coca Cola to power tools. These lighters can sell for $5 to $25.
Zippo United Fruit Co SS Talamanca Ship Lighter. This lighter is in very good condition, with only minimal scratching. This item comes with it's original box, which is in good condition also. The box does have some wear, including very slight soiling and edge wear, and a tear in the paper.
A Vintage 1959 USS Independence (CVA 62) Town & Country Zippo Lighter. Zippo is Used with wear. Basically, common wear for a lightly used Zippo.
To see this Zippo/SS Talamanca lighter on GoAntique.com, click here; to see this USS Independence lighter, click here.
Zippo also made commercial lighters for advertisements and they, like the Ronson, have various collectible prices in today's market. A simple but classic Zippo Army Lighter can sell for 32.50, and more if the lighter has military emblems or regimens on the outside design. We had at our not too long ago an original Zippo issued from the aircraft carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt. We sold it for $55 retail, and it went out so fast that it may have been worth a quite a bit more.
Silvertone music theme cufflink set with a G clef and musical notes motif.
This vintage cuff link and tie pin set is made by Swank with June birthstone.
To see these musical cuff links on GoAntique.com, click here; to see this Swank/June birthstone set, click here.
One of the other areas of value is in the old jewelry box, after you clean out the good stuff—the diamond rings, gold and silver watches and so forth. What is left is the costume jewelry, cuff links and tie tacks. Basic assortments of costume jewelry made of different metal, glass or plastics can go for $65 to $125, depending on the age and styles. Sometimes even higher amounts for special pieces with designer names like Eisenberg, Weiss, Hobe and Miriam Haskel, just to name a few. A nice 2′-inch brooch by Weiss with imitation pearls sells for $15 to $20. A collection of rhinestone jewelry by Weiss and Kramer can sell for $60 and higher. A nice Hobe brooch, $17.50. A rhinestone ring, signed Hobe, for 27.50. A Eisenberg Ice brooch for $52.50. A Swank sliver with blue stones, cufflinks and tie bar could be valued from $5 to $7.50. On average, the cuff link sets can sell for $2 to $10, depending on the style and age.
These are just a few of the things that slip through the cracks. In most houses, if we go into the kitchen or the garage, we would find a small fortune. We tend to keep the old coffee pots, gadgets and small appliances. There are rows of price guides in bookstores today to help place current values of just about everything ever made for the consumer markets, from decades and decades back. Before you haul all those boxes off to the trash, do a little research. You may find that you have enough value there to take that Caribbean cruise.

Robert… you are so right. All these little items can really add up.
It is amazing what some collectors will pay for these types of vintage items!
This is good info for anyone, whether they've accumulated from years of living in same house or cleaning out Mom and Dad's house. I just wish I'd had this info 15 years ago!
Where do I find the collectors to sell these items to?

Slow Fish Campaign Reaches American Shores
United States
13 Sep 13
This weekend, Slow Fish – Slow Food's international campaign for sustainable fishing – will be officially launched in the US.
The launch will see a series of events taking place, starting on September 14 during the annual Fishtival event in New Hampshire. It will include activities such as the first ever youth-led Seafood Throwdown: a unique cooking competition to highlight the importance of local seafood in restoring a healthy ocean ecosystem. Inspired by the TV program, Iron-Chef, two young chefs will compete to see who can prepare the best locally caught seafood dish using items from the local farmers' market.
Others events taking place will be a documentary film screening, a fish filleting demonstration and workshop, and a 'Merroir Manifesto' community discussion.
The local community - fishers, chefs, youth, local sea and land organizations, and consumers - will come together throughout the weekend to discuss key questions such as: Why and how should we embrace local community-based fishing? How can we begin bridging the gap between consumers and community fishers? How can we improve policy to assure long-term vitality of family-owned fisheries? How can we inspire more chefs to begin working with locally caught seafood?
"We're really excited to help bring Slow Fish to New Hampshire and the US where our fishing families are facing extreme challenges. Over 90% of the seafood the public consumes is imported and yet our fleet catches more than enough to feed everyone. We need to reconnect to the seasonality of fishing and let consumers know that there are plenty of healthy, abundant and delicious fish species right in our backyard," says Padi Anderson, member of the Fishtival planning committee and co-owner of Rimrack Fisheries, a family-owned and operated fishing business (find more here).
The Slow Fish campaign works to promote community-based fishing, raise consumer awareness on the value of 'underloved' species of fish and create dialogue on the state of fisheries management. As organizer of the program and coordinator of the USA Slow Food Youth Network, Spencer Montgomery, explains, 'underloved' species of fish are those that community fishers pull up in their nets but struggle to find any local market value for. They are either discarded or sold to foreign buyers halfway around the world.
"The Slow Fish campaign could not come at a more critical time. Our source of food from the ocean is in danger of being taken over by industrial food production models like agribusiness and with that our marine environment is endangered," says Brett Tolley of the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance. "Based on everything we've learned about our land-based food system over the past few decades, we know industrialization will endanger our environment, biodiversity, food safety, food sovereignty and food security as well as the economic and social fabric of fishing communities."
It's time to get together and discuss these problems in the same boat.

For every purchase from our Tees For Change brand of shirts, we plant a tree through our partnership with Trees for the Future.
Why plant trees? Because they change lives. They provide food, forage for animals, and wood for fuel and construction. They increase agricultural yields, improve water infiltration and aquifer recharge, and protect soils from wind and water erosion.
However, planting trees can be difficult when the canopy has disappeared, topsoil has been eroded, and the climate and growing conditions have changed.
As an agroforestry resource center, Trees for the Future works with local farmers and community groups to help them better support themselves, and to restore degraded lands to sustainable productivity by planting trees that not only thrive in poor soil conditions, but that also benefit the local area in a multitude of ways. Through Trees for the Future's worldwide network of technicians, volunteers, and community leaders, they help rehabilitate environments across the globe.
Since 1989, Trees for the Future has helped 1 million people in thousands of communities in over 20 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America plant more than 80 million trees.
They are also active in the United States, educating students and communities about global issues, their role in the environment, and energy efficiency.

Never smoked much MJ, have you? I mean, oh yeah, the skunky reek of prime weed, you can almost smell it through the walls. But air the place out for a couple of days and it's fine.

Conversely, I had a small house at one point that was let to a heavy smoker. Inspecting the place, I could tell it was going to be an insane renovation job to get the smell out. Thankfully, she burnt the place down before she left.

People, remember your "drug pyramid" of addictiveness and mortality:

THC, psylocibin, LSD, psychedelic phenethylamines--ain't gonna kill you no how, except by misadventure.

Cocaine, opiates and certain exotic tryptamines--truthfully, cocaine overall really isn't that addictive or initially fatal. Opiates can kill you first time, no doubt, but actually you can live your whole life hooked on junk without dying.

Nicotine and crank--both highly addictive and both will kill your ass eventually. Not immediately fatal upon initial ingestion except for extreme cases.

ALCOHOL--Can kill you stone dead upon immediate ingestion quite easily (cf. John Bonham, Bon Scott, etc.). Not highly addictive, technically, but you'd be surprised. Will likely kill you if you have a genetic predisposition to alcohol addiction.B.

Relationships aren't a property game. It's not a question of owning each other. It's a thing of passing through someone's life, loving them, cuddling with them, laughing with them, sharing everything with them from your favorite movies to the same bed at night. And, when it's all over, it's about being their friend and accepting whoever will have the privilege of coming after you.

Published in Politics & Policy
Keywords: Justice, politics, common good, compendium, St Augustine, Pope Benedict XVI, Andrew Greenwell, Esq.
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - In his book City of God, St. Augustine famously said, "without justice, what else is the State but a great band of robbers?" This statement seems to be a favorite of Pope Benedict XVI, and he has recruited it in warning lawmakers, particularly lawmakers in the Western nations with Christian heritage, of the way to which they are headed.
He referred to these words in his address to the German Parliament or Bundestag when he visited Germany. Some years earlier, in his encyclical Deus caritas est, Pope Benedict XVI referred to those very same words.
It is useful from time to time to recall these words of St. Augustine and the deep truth that they convey.
In his encyclical Deus caritas est, Pope Benedict elaborated on St. Augustine's famous saying. The reason why St. Augustine insisted on justice is that "justice is both the aim and the intrinsic criterion of all politics." (No. 28).
The negative implication of this statement is that without justice, politics--and the law promulgated by the political processs--is aimless and has no criterion. In short, it is lawless, and being lawless, unjust.
To say that politics and law are aimless and have no criterion, is the same thing as saying that politics and law are unreasonable and arbitrary. All politics and all law therefore become relative and unhinged from moral law. This view of politics and law takes us from freedom--which is the liberty to do as we ought--past the threshold of justice into tyranny--where we are no longer free to do as we ought, but we must do what we're told.
By definition, tyranny exists when politics or law is arbitrary. In such a case, might makes right, whereas it ought to be the other way around: right--that is to say, justice--makes might.
Politics and law must then be informed by right, by justice. It is an absolutely essential requirement that politics and law have justice behind them, otherwise we are ruled by thug government.
In politics, as in lawmaking, it is essential to focus on justice.
Justice, as the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church makes clear, has both subjective and objective components.
But we ought not to be confused by the term "subjective." The term "subjective" does not mean whatever we want, or feel, or desire (which is how we ordinarily use the term). In saying that justice has a subjective component, the Church is hardly advocating a politics of desire.
The term subjective as understood by the Church within the context of justice means that we ought to have the firm and constant resolve "to recognize the other as a person." (Compendium, No. 201) In other words, the term subjective in the context of justice (and politics and law) means not the I, not the ego, but rather the other, the you, the su, the tu.
(It is indicative of the self-focused, individualistic nature of our society that the 1st person singular personal pronoun "I"-in Greek and Latin ego-has become a common word in English, but the 2nd person singular personal pronoun "you"-in Greek, su, in Latin, tu-is never heard at all. The word egoism is common; the word tuism is used only by grammarians, and not modern jurists. But egoism has nothing to do with justice; tuism has everything to do with justice. The only word we have is "altruism" which is derived from the word alter or "other," but that has a sense of the anonymous or generic other, and not the familiar su or tu.)
Not only then is justice entirely other directed, it is also based upon objective moral reality, the moral what is. Therefore, justice must include "decisive criteria of morality in the intersubjective and social sphere." (Compendium, No. 201)
The "decisive criteria of morality" are found in the natural moral law. The natural moral law has some "unchanging moral truths" from which we derive our inalienable rights, such as those relating to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. No politics, no law can ever trespass these without rank injustice.
As the Pope in January of this year told the American bishops in their ad limina visit to Rome, the reality of these "unchanging moral truths" is the "key to human happiness and social prospering." To ignore them, to supplant them, to violate them is not liberty, not justice, but rather its opposite: for it is to build a society and a politics based upon "reductionist and totalitarian readings of the human person and the nature of society." This necessarily leads to injustice.
In short, justice means the firm and constant resolve to recognize the other as a person, and to give him his due, all within the constraints of the natural moral law.
To the extent any government fails to recognize anyone as a person-such as happened in our former laws allowing human chattel slavery which were abrogated by the 13th and 14th Amendments after a sanguinary war-it is nothing but a band of robbers, because the politics and law in not recognizing a person as a person has failed in its aim and criterion of subjective justice.
Likewise, to the extent any government that trespasses the natural law-such as is happening now by the legal protection given abortion, or the legal recognition given homosexual "marriage"-it is nothing but a band of robbers because it has forgotten the aim and criterion of politics objective justice.
What all of this means, of course, is that St. Augustine and Pope Benedict XVI are telling us that justice is outside politics and outside human law. Something that is politically or legally expedient--even if it is the will of the majority--is not necessarily just. Justice is something that hovers outside or above politics and law, that is extra-political or extra-legal or, perhaps better, supra-political or supra-legal. Politics and law that are based upon nothing other than agreement is rudderless politics, rudderless law, and it quickly falls into something gravely evil.
As Catholics--indeed, all humans of good will regardless of religious confession--we must not cooperate in any effort to remove an objective aim and criterion of politics and of law. To do so would, in the words of Cardinal Ratzinger at the Mass prior to his election as Pope, be "building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one's own ego and desires."
Justice cannot be guilt on egoism, which is what the secularists wish to do. It must be built on tuism and the natural moral law. Anything less is to be ruled by a band of robbers.
The American Jesuit John Courtney Murray stated that accepting a secularistic notion of democracy-such as what is proposed by many modern political philosophies including the regnant one-would result in the dismantling of the "noble, many storied mansion of democracy," and would level it "to the dimensions of a flat majoritarianism, which is no mansion but a barn, perhaps even a tool shed in which the weapons of tyranny may be formed."
If we allow ourselves to be ruled by a politics without justice, a politics that does not recognize the rights of persons and the natural law, then we will be ruled by a band of robbers, and we invariably will turn our "noble, many storied mansion of democracy" into a tool shed where the robbers pound out the weapons of their tyranny-laws of inhuman steel.
We will live in a toolshed, subject to thiefdom.
