Hardin's "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against The Poor" - No! You Cannot Come In

... in? I see no reason for helping someone that is not an American. These non Americans are taking my hard-working money that they did not earn.

My Last Duchess By Robert Brow

... beside himself, as if he should be the only life in her life. He could not understand how she could rank his nine thousand year old name with more simpler things such as her white mule that she rode on the terrace, an act of kindness from an "officious fool" and the "drooping of the daylight in the west." His wife, no doubt, had no idea he felt that way but he could not discuss it with her, blaming it on the fact that he had no skill in speech. He let the problem persist until he no longer could stand it and finally "gave commands" that in ...

This is called the peccability of Christ. The opposing argument, i.e., impeccability, being that even if He h ...
