There is a problem in Kentucky.
There is a problem in San Francisco.
There is a problem in GITMO, the Guantanamo Bay facility, housing Islamic terrorists.

 For the first, a county clerk refuses to issue marriage licenses to gays. She faces a judge on a contempt of court citation, and with that possible jail time.

 For the second, illegals are being released even if they are felons. It seems clear that sanctuary city San Francisco citizens are more far tolerant of criminals than most other cities.

 For the third, there is the question of what to do with inmates under the Administration desire to close the GITMO facility. So, we have the situation where a person acting on conscious and harming no one faces the full force of the law including jail, where wanted felons are released from custody as a matter of city policy, and where we do have dangerous people needing housing - but not in Cuba.

Resolutions:
The poor woman in Kentucky is toast, done in by the law and the ACLU.

The illegal alien felons continue to walk, freeing up jail space in sanctuary cities cities.

So why not send the GITMO detainees to the most compassionate San Francisco, but maybe with some tag they not be released at least for a couple of weeks.

Behavioral Science and Problem-Solving

I.                                       I.                 Introduction.                Concerning our general behavior, it’s high about time we all had some understanding of how we operate on ourselves, and it is just as important how we are operated on by others. This is the wheelhouse of behavioral sciences. It is a vast subject. It touches our lives constantly. It’s influence is pervasive and can be so subtle we never notice it. Behavioral sciences profoundly affect our ability and success at problem-solving, from the elementary level to highly complex wicked problems. This is discussed in Section IV. We begin with the basics of behavioral sciences, Section II, and then through the lens of multiple categories and examples, Section III. II.     ...

UNCERTAINTY IS CERTAIN

  Uncertainty is Certain G. Donald Allen 12/12/2024 1.       Introduction . This short essay is about uncertainty in people from both secular and nonsecular viewpoints. One point that will emerge is that randomly based uncertainty can be a driver for religious structure. Many groups facing uncertainty about their future are deeply religious or rely on faith as a source of comfort, resilience, and guidance. The intersection of uncertainty and religiosity often stems from the human need to find meaning, hope, and stability in the face of unpredictable or challenging circumstances. We first take up the connections of uncertainty to religion for the first real profession, farming, noting that hunting has many similar uncertainties. Below are groups that commonly lean on religious beliefs amidst uncertainty.   This short essay is a follow-up to a previous piece on certainty (https://used-ideas.blogspot.com/2024/12/certainty-is-also-emotion.html).

Robin Hood and Cliven Bundy

  Actor Herbert Mundin, playing Munch in the 1938 film The Adventures of Robin Hood (starring Errol Flynn) is charged by Prince John's troops of slaying a royal deer in the royal Sherwood forest.  The punishment is death.  Though the events of this film are a portrayal of events dating to the 15th century, they became by the 19th century a "robbing from the rich for the poor" theme so often depicted in other film genres. The William Tell legend is another. The plot is simple.  A poor man desperate to survive tastes the forbidden fruits owned by the authority, and is condemned. I would love to hear this event debated on the current TV news shows.  On the one hand, Munch would be a champion in service to his family.  On the other hand, his legal rights are restricted by legal authority. so, the argument would proceed.  Legal scholars cite statutes chapter and verse, while others would root for the common man.  Fast forward to 2014.
