Sommario/riassunto |
|
A provocative sequel to The Torchlight List, this book examines the answers that thinkers throughout the ages-from Plato in ancient Greece to contemporary psychologists and scientists-have proposed for life's great questions: Do human beings have free will? Is a good society possible? Is patriotism ethical? and Can modern science penetrate the mind? Exploring the moral ideals, attitudes, and religious beliefs that affect everyday life, this account is an exhilarating introduction to |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This ebook consists of a summary of the ideas, viewpoints and facts presented by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his book "Crimes Against Nature, How George W. Bush and His Corporate Pals Are Plundering the Country and Hijacking our Democracy". This summary offers a concise overview of the entire book in less than 30 minutes reading time. However this work does not replace in any case Robert F. Kennedy's book.<br>Kennedy Jr. argues that Bush Administration has privileged corporate greed but has scarified the respect for law, public health, and |

even long term economic vitality. <br> |
