One issue that has emerged from the always-biased, political hearings for Sotomayor is the contention that a judge's decision can be/or at least should be, made without being biased by personal history, experience, political leanings, etc. She stressed this, while the Republicans want to say

The law makes some pretty outrageous assumptions in this regard. When I once served on a jury I was instructed that if I had any special knowledge relevant to the case, things that I knew but most people do not, I was not allowed to share that knowledge with other members of the jury

There is a chapter about this in Dan Gardner's book _Risk_ as well. Of course, given modern weapons, a single individual can kill and main far more people at one time than in the days of the sword. Chris Green == sbl...@ubishops.ca wrote: Steven Pinker asks whether modern society

Re: [tips] Upending conventional wisdom: On violence

But a better question is: Is modern society more violent than it could be? Is Pinker arguing that human violence is unavoidable (genetic)? I would guess that that would be an implication of his argument (which I've seen before). The other point is that our potential for annihilation is

Guess I'm a bit surprised that this question is even being asked. As most folks know, books about the source of violence reveal that adolescents and adults who are violent and kill consistently had an abusive childhood. http://www.screamsfromchildhood.com/child-abuse-murder.html
