- Bank Of America's Legal Woes Continue
Bank of America’s situation can be aptly described using the analogy of a boat caught in the middle of a storm – each time the crew tries to steer the boat back on course, a new wave throws it off. And it is no small swell this time around for Bank of America with the Federal Housing Finance Agency demanding refunds for all loans “mis-sold” to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in a lawsuit filed last Friday. Bank of America, the biggest U.S. lender by assets, has been hit by a string of lawsuits concerning its legacy mortgage business. Each lawsuit has been fueling strong pessimism among investors about the quality of the bank’s assets, and its spiraling legal costs. The FHFA filed separate lawsuits against 17 global financial giants, including Barclays, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup. _NULL_

- Santorum And Harvard Anarchist Agree: Public Schools Must Be Abolished
To appreciate how people could be so willfully blind as to permit such a ubiquitous malevolent presence as slavery, one needs only to look at American public schools. The analogy between public schooling and slavery is presented solely to demonstrate that both are socially destructive institutions that are sustained by the belief that oppression, when it is even acknowledged, is necessary and beneficial. Where public schools are concerned, the most salient feature is that dissent is not permitted.
This was codified by the Supreme Court in Tinker v. Des Moines, which is ironically presented as a landmark ruling for student rights. In fact, it sets forth three considerable hurdles that must be met in order for students to expect basic constitutional protections of free speech and due process. In the judgment summary, students were permitted to wear armbands because: “The petitioners were quiet and passive. They were not disruptive and did not impinge upon the rights of others.” It is worth noting that within these guidelines the tactics of pacifists such as Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. would not be tolerated.
An essential feature of fascism is that it deprives individuals the capacity to comment on the conditions to which they are involuntarily subjected. Nevertheless, children, like slaves, are expected not simply to endure, but to embrace these conditions. null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse. Please see responseStatus: 40
- SPENGLER : Israel as the Dutch Republic in the Thirty Years War
Without stretching the analogy, the conflict between Sunni and Shi'ite Islam in the Middle East today has something in common with the Thirty Years War that surrounded 17th-century Holland. Most Israelis seem to have adapted well to a long-term war regime amid a sea of unrelenting misery, and seven months after the start of the Arab uprisings, their position is a paradox, just like Holland's before it emerged victorious from the European maelstrom.

- Can the UK afford to bail out Ireland?
UK citizens are facing tough times themselvesPoor old Ireland, felled horribly in the crash. It's splendid really, that British sympathy extends to a possible bail-out from George Osborne's Treasury. But one does wonder where the money is coming from, as UK citizens themselves feel the lash of austerity. Of course, many commentators continue to insist that British government cuts are not necessary. Huge debt after the second world war is their benchmark example, for that was no bar to the setting up of the welfare state. However, those same critics are also fond of insisting that they see no reason to believe that a private sector recovery will rescue us now, as the coalition envisages.Here, however, is exactly where those second world war analogies break down. Who could have imagined a possible boom, in the wake of working men returning home from war, industry moving back from munitions to private industry, technology advancing furiously, and consumption beginning to rise after wartime sacrifice? Pretty much everybody, I would have thought.European debt crisisEuropean monetary unionEuropean UnionEconomic policyIrelandDeborah Orrguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Weaning Ourselves from Economic Steroids - Excess Debt
I suspect you may already see the analogy. In the right circumstances, debt and steroids in the right amounts can be beneficial. Steroids occur naturally in humans, plants and animals and are essential to human physiology and development. Steroids can also be used to treat certain medical conditions when physiology has failed. Debt is an important part of the biology of a growing or developed economy as well. Debt can be used to manage cash flow (e.g., a business line of credit) or to acquire assets that require significant capital expenditures (e.g., a building or heavy equipment). However, just like the use of steroids to pump up athletic performance can lead to disastrous health consequences, excess debt can bulk up economic performance that is not sustainable. 私はあなたが既にアナロジーが表示される場合があります疑う
- The dumbest non-statistic in journalism: New Yorker edition | Richard Adams
The New Yorker is the latest of far too many to fall for the fallacy of comparing corporations and national economiesIt's a recurrent fallacy: writers trying to conjure up the awesome size of a multinational corporation by comparing it to actual nation states. It happens over and over again – and the New Yorker is merely the latest of many, including the Guardian.In an article on PepsiCo (currently behind a paywall), the New Yorker's John Seabrook falls for the bad analogy:If PepsiCo were a country, the size of its economy – $60bn in revenues in 2010 – would put it 66th in gross national product, between Ecuador and Croatia.Leaving aside the idea that if PepsiCo was a country it would also have a navy and an Olympic curling team, the mistake is to compare a corporation's revenues with a nation's gross national product, because they are measuring different things in different ways.This vexes some people because they sound like they should be the same thing, because money's money, right? But they aren't.I don't know where the New Yorker got its figures from but the World Bank's latest gross national income figures from 2009 would indeed place a $60bn PepsiCo between Ecuador and Croatia. Here's the World Bank's definition:GNI (formerly GNP) is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad.In contrast, PepsiCo's revenues – in fact only $57.8bn in 2010 – merely measure a cashflow, rather than the value added to inputs as national income accounting seeks to do. And of course PepsiCo rarely sells products directly to consumers but as an intermediary through bottlers, distributors, wholesalers and ret ニューヨーカーはあまりにも多くの最新のは、企業を比較する国家economiesItが再発誤謬だの誤謬に落ちている:実際の国家と比較することによって、多国籍企業の最高サイズを呼び起こすしようとしている作家
- Tucson memorial: Obama's moment | Editorial
It was his finest speech as president, while the Republicans dug themselves even deeper into the hole they have climbed intoBarack Obama has just made the finest speech of his presidency. It is not just that, in performing the role of pastor to the victims of the shootings in Arizona, he shed his professorial reserve and became the empathetic head of state that everyone who crammed the National Mall on his inauguration expected him to be. Nor did his speech contain memorable phrases. It was that, after two bruising years in power, Mr Obama has at last found his voice. He did so by rediscovering the themes that made him an outstanding presidential candidate. If he can set a tone not just for Tucson and the aftermath of Saturday's dreadful events, but nationally and for the rest of his presidency, this will be the change we can believe in.The Republican camp, by contrast, dug themselves even deeper into the hole they have climbed into. If Mr Obama's tone was inspired, Sarah Palin's was calamitous from the perspective of a party knowing it has to capture the centre ground to return to power. Not only did she sound defensive and angry (undoing the effect of the presidential props on and behind her). In rifling through her pill case for yet another dose of hyperbole, she stumbled over the concept of a blood libel.Blood libel? Can a Fox News commentator in the 21st century, in any conceivable way, compare her situation as a victim of a slur to that of Jews who were persecuted, forced to convert and massacred in 12th-century England as religious fervour during the Crusades reached its peak? If she did not know what she was talking about, she should have shut up. If she did, she displayed such a lapse of judgment in choosing this particular analogy as to rule out her candidacy 共和党は自分自身をも、彼らはintoBarack上昇しているオバマ氏はちょうど彼の大統領の最高のスピーチをした穴に深く掘られた一方で、大統領としての彼の最高のスピーチでした

- WikiLeaks and our obligations to the web of tellings | Nicholas Shackel
The principles of free speech, discretion and bearing witness come into conflict when considering a case such as WikiLeaksThe question: Is it wrong to bear true witness?Most of what we know, we know because someone told us. So we are all aware of the vital support given to us by the great web of tellings that surrounds us and we care a lot about the strength of that web. The ninth commandment (thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour) sounds right to most of us.To give witness is to contribute a thread to the web of tellings on which we depend, a thread on which we will place weight. False witness is spinning a thread that will give way: an untruth, a half truth, an insincerity, a prejudice, a deception, an utterance born of malice.Is it only neighbours we shouldn't bear false witness against? To me it seems wrong against others as well, but I can imagine circumstances in which lying about one enemy to another might be right. Anyway, it seems right to include as my neighbour anyone to whom loyalty is owed, and allowing the strength of the duty to vary with the strength of loyalty owed.We might reasonably regard many of the governments involved in the WikiLeaks cables as distant neighbours and, given the extent of the cables involved, selective publication could be used to bear false witness, which on this principle would be wrong.Careless gossip about our friends and family is obviously wrong, and it is no excuse – indeed, it makes it worse – if the gossip is true. Some things between us are for us, not for others: to give them away is to harm our relationship. Loyalty therefore requires discretion: confidences are to be kept, not told. Perhaps there is here a principle analogous to the ninth commandment: thou shalt not bear true witness against thy neigh WikiLeaksTheの質問のようなケースを検討する際に、言論の自由、自由裁量と軸受の証人の原則は、紛争に入る:それは間違っている真の証人としている人が語ってくれたので、私たちが知っているのほとんどは、私たちが知っている?
- Various Artists: Angola Soundtrack – The Unique Sound of Luanda 1968-1976 – review
(Analog Africa/Proper)The 1960s and 70s were a tough time to be in the Angolan capital, Luanda. The country was continually at war, firstly as the Portuguese colonialists battled against three liberation armies, and then, after independence in 1975, as former freedom fighters turned on each other, with Cuba and the west backing different sides. It was a time of fear and paranoia, and yet, amazingly, this was a golden era for Angolan music. The recordings featured on this rousing and intriguing compilation are mostly unknown outside the African state, and are only available now thanks to the enthusiasm of Samy Ben Redjeb, who specialises in rereleasing classic African vinyl. The tracks are all by guitar bands, with a dash of organ on the final recording. They mix local and Latin rhythms with influences from Angola's northern neighbour, Congo, and echoes of western psychedelia or surf guitar is sometimes added. It's an upbeat, often hypnotic fusion that includes the intertwining guitars of Jovens Do Prenda, the dance music of Os Bongos, the Cuban influences of N'Goma Jazz and the half-declaimed balladry of David 。é, who was killed in 1977, perhaps because the politicians feared his popularity. An obscure release, maybe, but well worth checking out.Rating: 4/5World musicAngolaRobin Denselowguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

THE TERM ''hung parliament'' is derived by analogy from ''hung jury''. When a jury cannot agree, the judge dismisses it and orders a retrial.

- Michael Tomasky: Pennsylvania Senate, and the question of analogies
Pennsylvania Democrats will vote next Tuesday in a crucial Senate primary between Arlen Specter, the Republican-turned-Democrat who's trying to hold on to his incumbency, and Joe Sestak, the House member and Navy veteran challenging him. The winner will face GOPer Pat Toomey, a pretty hard-right anti-tax candidate.TPM has a good summary of the state of play here. Basically, some polls just came out showing that Sestak might be ahead. Other polls looking toward the general show that Sestak has at least basically caught up with Specter against Toomey, though both trail him by a few points.Sestak released an ad that you can watch here about Specter's party switch. If seeing George W. Bush again makes you want to drink strychnine, it's pretty devastating. Specter couldn't possibly look more oleaginous. This ad will be shown to budding future politics as a reminder that in this day and age they need to watch every word they say and watch how they say it.If Sestak wins, the media will draw instant parallels with what just happened to Bob Bennett in Utah, on the mere basis that it's another incumbent being tossed out by moblike angry primary voters.It's a pretty superficial comparison, I think, because it's just not as if Pennsylvania Democrats - who as we recall from the 2008 primary are not flaming liberals but largely blue-collar, moderate-to-liberal voters - are the left-wing equivalent of the tea party. It's a totally different dynamic.And this raises this larger question of comparisons and analogies. It's one of the running clashes on our comment threads, as you know, that I write something about the right, and conservatives always counter with some vaguely similar thing about the left, but usually the two aren't really very similar upon inspection.I'd like to lift this ペンシルベニア州民主党は来週の火曜日アーレンスペクター、共和党出身の民主党彼の在任期間に保持しようとしている、とジョーSestak、ハウスのメンバーと海軍のベテラン、彼に挑戦間の重要な上院選挙で投票する
- Google: Privacy.com | Editorial
There are important questions to be resolved about safeguarding privacy but the answer cannot lie in censoring everything before it is allowed to be readIn a Milan court this week both prosecution and defence agreed on one fundamental thing: some videos of an autistic schoolboy being bullied by his classmates posted online were disgusting. That is why, when alerted to their presence on its video-sharing site, Google removed them within 24 hours. So far, so simple – except that that action was not good enough for the Italian court. On Wednesday it convicted three Google executives of violating privacy and gave them six-month suspended sentences. This is an analogue verdict in a digital age. If allowed to stand, it poses a serious threat to the development of the internet and to freedom of speech.If the development of the internet has had a single theme over the past decade, it is surely the means it has given people to express themselves with unprecedented freedom: often silly, sometimes nasty – but occasionally and increasingly to good and important ends. Hundreds of thousands of comments are posted to news sites everyday, vastly expanding the range of political discussion. There are more than 133m blogs, according to the blog search site Technorati. Facebook boasts 400m users, letting each other know about everything from what they had for breakfast to the latest outrage perpetrated by some politician or other. Photo-sharing site Flickr hosts more than 4bn images. Twenty hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute.These social media companies do not create content as much as offer everyone a means of distributing it. And herein lies the regulatory rub.
