Are we missing something?
An id quod deest?
Good Morning,
Moving right along on our review to the Amendments of the Constitution.  Hopefully, now you are well versed in the first two, posted in my latest blogs.  As stated the third amendments goes like this:

"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law". -

What are your thoughts or opinions in regard to the aforementioned. Do you think that in these modern days the 3rd amendment is obsolete or, if  it isn't written into the constitution are we  bound to repeat the past?
Best regard,


Buenos Dias,
Continuando con nuestro repaso de los enmendamientos a nuestra constitucion estadounidense.  Ojala que hayan tenido la oportunidad de leer mis dos recientes blogs.  Como pueden ver el Tercer enmendamiento va asi:

"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law". -

See more at: http://constitution.laws.com/3rd-amendment#sthash.I3Si3IpM.dpuf

Cuales son sus opiniones acerca del mismo?  Piensa usted que es obsoleto para estos tiempos modernos o, tal vez si no esta escrito en el documento, estemos sujetos a repetir el pasado?

Sinceramente,

HEALTH CARE MANDATE ISSUES
1st amendment violation or loophole?
1 contra emendationis vel fenestram?
Today it was announced that the Supreme Court will be deciding over two cases, related to the new Contraceptive Mandate for employers. The plaintiffs allege that the new Health Care Mandate violates their first amendment rights over religious beliefs. The question appears to be, whether or not the companies may assert, the 1993 Freedom of Restoration Act. If they should be required to provide Contraceptive coverage, acting against their beliefs as religious based employers. 

 What do you think? please see below and comment. Additionally, please feel free to add any research you may have on the issue.
My Best,

The 1993 Freedom Restoration Act.

"A 1993 United Stated Federal Law aimed at preventing laws that substantially burden a person's free exercise of their religion".  The Law also mandates that strict scrutiny must be applied to determine whether or not a violation to one's first amendment rights have been violated. 

The first amendment states that:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion;or prohibiting the exercise thereof: or abridging the freedom of speech,or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances"

Vel-non fiction Fiction
Quid censes?

Fiction or Non-Fiction
What do you think?



Ayn Rand? Have you ever heard of her?  Did anyone have her novels as required reading for an economics or Social studies class?  I, unfortunately did not.
According to my readings and interpretation of such, most of her novels were based on a philosophy given the name of "Objectivism".
My Interpretation of such led me to the premise that it is based on individualism and there is nothing wrong with being selfish.  In a nutshell it could be considered capitalism to the extreme. However it seems have the reader consider the consequences of not being able to detach from emotions and focus on their own individual achievements, in order to achieve a better, more prosperous society.  It truly provides food for thought in regard to how we see our society and where it may be headed.
Mrs. Rand coming from socialist beginnings was committed to fighting this way of life when she came to this country as a writer. She was dedicated to relating this through her novels; that this great country could  become this way if we continued to allow government interference and being conformist.

I have included below some links to her readings as well as the definitions of "Objectivism" as well as "Individualism" Please offer an opinion I would love to hear from you. happy reading!
My Best,
