James Zacny received a Ph.D. degree in psychology with an emphasis on experimental psychology from West Virginia University, Morgantown, WVa, USA. Zacny received a postdoctoral training in psychopharmacology both at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Md, USA, and the University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill, USA. Zacny currently serves as a Professor at the University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill, USA. As a psychopharmacologist, over the last 25 years, he has studied numerous drugs, including alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, and drugs that are used in everyday practice by anesthesiologists. These drugs include benzodiazepines, barbiturates, inhaled gaseous and volatile anesthetics, propofol, and opioids. For the past 4 years, he has been characterizing the effects of several drugs in combination with the prescription opioid, oxycodone, and in nondrug-abusing healthy volunteers. The studies have both clinical implications in that some chronic pain patients on long-term opioid therapy are also taking other CNS-active drugs for either enhanced pain relief or other comorbid conditions. The studies have also public health implications related to the current epidemic of prescription opioid abuse in the United States. There is evidence that quite often prescription opioids are abused with other drugs (alcohol, marijuana, benzodiazepines, and stimulants), and hence this is an area that Zacny is interested to continue to explore.

Dozens of Catholic agencies join in coordinated drive to aid Syrian refugees
Catholic World News - October 23, 2013
Since 2011, Catholic relief agencies have supplied $72 million to support efforts to help refugees in Syria, the Pontifical Council Cor Unum has announced.
Dozens of Catholic agencies are working in Syria and neighboring countries—Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq, Egypt, and Cyprus—to bring aid to the refugees, Cor Unum said. In order to coordinate relief efforts, and overcome difficulties in obtaining timely information about the needs of refugees, the pontifical council brought together representatives of the relief agencies for a meeting in June. A Beirut-based agency, Caritas Middle East-North Africa, now has been designated as a clearinghouse for relief plans.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Congress resists a White House request to raise the limit on how much the U.S. can borrow. The president warns of disaster. And the fight goes down to the wire.
Sounds like the current budget standoff, right? Or the famous dustup between President Clinton and a Republican Congress in 1995-96?
Try 1962. That's when President John F. Kennedy pushed a conservative-leaning Congress to raise the federal debt limit by several billion dollars, implying that failure to do so could harm the military. Some Republicans later accused the administration of political "blackmail."
Tussles over the U.S. debt ceiling, usually one of the most obscure issues in Washington, have a long history. The debt limit has been raised dozens of times since the mid-1950s, and every president since Dwight D. Eisenhower has had to cajole a reluctant Congress.
Conservative lawmakers have done most of the carping, even giving trouble to presidents of their own ilk. Republicans Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush all took flak from normal allies in Congress.
In many cases Congress has tried to force presidents, especially members of the opposite party, to accept unpalatable conditions in exchange for approval. Rarely have they succeeded.
In 1979, for example, some lawmakers tried to attach a balanced-budget amendment to a debt-ceiling increase. They had as much success as the current Republican House, whose effort to push the same amendment was shot down last week.
Yet in one sense the latest showdown is different from all the others. The gulf between the White House and Congress is wider than ever — not only because of a huge ideological chasm but also because the nation's debt is growing so dangerously fast. It's now set to top $14.3 trillion.
"I'd say this is the worst debt-ceiling crisis in U.S. history because it is linked to the most serious fiscal crisis since the Civil War, and the debt ceiling is, of course, a 20th-century concoction," said economist historian Robert Wright of Augustana College in South Dakota. He is the author of "One Nation Under Debt: Hamilton, Jefferson, and the History of What We Owe."
World War roots
The origins of the debt limit trace to World War I. For the first 125 years of the republic's history, Congress authorized each sale of Treasury bonds to pay for specific projects, such as construction of the Panama Canal. The Treasury also faced restrictions on the kinds of debt it could issue.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
Yet the growing size of government at the onset of the war rendered the old manner of handling the public debt obsolete. In 1917, Congress gave the Treasury more flexibility on how much debt it sold and in what form.
The law was further simplified in 1939 on the eve of World War II. Congress gave the Treasury almost unlimited power to decide what securities to sell and how to best manage the nation's debt, subject to an overall cap.
The limit didn't pose much problem until President Dwight D. Eisenhower took office. In July 1953, Ike asked the Republican-controlled Congress to raise the debt limit from $275 billion to $290 billion.
His own party didn't get around to passing an increase until one year later — and only to $281 billion. Lawmakers wanted to send a message to keep spending on the low side, according to contemporary accounts.
Moves to raise the debt ceiling became an annual staple in the 1960s as federal spending rose to pay for the Vietnam War and the social programs created under the Great Society.
Still, Republicans and Southern Democrats used debt-ceiling requests to attack the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, even as many of them also voted to boost spending in Congress.

LGA local growth campaign
published by Local Government Association
14 February 2012
While the institutional landscape has changed recently with the emergence of local enterprise partnerships (LEPs) and the abolition of regional development agencies (RDAs), councils remain one of the key drivers of growth. Councils' continued work on economic growth is therefore vital. However, there is a need for a wide debate in the local government sector which demonstrates our renewed ambition and sets some new boundaries in our thinking.

The Light
Redirected from The Light (光)
this wiki
|The Light
|Card Info
|Episode 42
|Episode 69
The Light (光) is a major card and the sister card of the Dark card. Light is able to create and control light. She can also bring forth the sunrise. She, along with Dark, is the strongest card in the deck.
Light is the first card under Cerberus. She has a group of cards under her and all of which are governed by Cerberus, who in turn is the embodiment of the Sun and Western magic.
Light's physical form is a tall regal woman with pale skin and long white flowing hair that falls over her shoulders and down her back, with curled side pieces framing her face. Light shares many similar physical traits with its sister card: the Dark.
She wears a dress with a collar that sticks up. The sleeves are puffy and embroiled with an elaborate symbol on each shoulder and end prematurely, revealing her shoulders along with her parts of her chest. Upon her chest is an image of a sun. The points of her crown curve only slightly, outward, and the frontmost projection on the crown is straight up. She appears elegant, dignified and majestic.
Her image in the Card form clutches a sun in one hand and a cloud in the other. In the anime, The Light Card's card form has a pure white background (The Dark as a pure black background).
Unlike most of the other Clow cards, Light has a benevolent personality. Light is wise and warm, gentle and serene. She encourages and reassures Sakura, urging her on gently during the trail against her sister card the Dark, and praises her for not giving in when all appeared lost. She expresses her utmost confidence in Sakura's abilities.[2]
She also appears to be slightly playful as she tips Sakura a mischievous wink. Light makes it known she and Dark wish for Sakura to be their master and she encourages Sakura to do her best. She is supportive of Sakura and to this end and insists she and her sister will always be by her side.[3]
When Sakura originally broke the seal on the Clow Book and accidentally scattered the Clow Cards using the Windy, Light took residence within Sakura's heart without her knowledge and was subsequently with her the whole time from the very beginning of her quest to recapture all the cards.
It isn't until much later on when Sakura has nearly captured all the cards does she become aware of Light's presence.
Clow Cards arc
In Episode 42 (volume 5 in the manga), Sakura's class hold a school play. On the evening of the school play, Sakura and Meiling are ready to go, while Syaoran is worried about playing the princess.
As the play begins, everyone seems to be pulling off their parts greatly, including Syaoran. Things are going great until the climax of the play, when all of a sudden the entire room is swamped by darkness.
Sakura tries to find the people, but they're all gone: lost in nothing but darkness. She begins to get discouraged, but when she manages to cheer herself up, and she begins to glow. When Sakura realizes the existence of Light within her, she awakens Light.
Light reveals to Skaura she has resided in her heart ever since the day she accidentally scattered the Clow Cards using Windy card.
Light then tips Sakura a playful wink and asks her a question: "What shines brightly in the darkness?" Sakura ponders, than responds: "Light!" to which the card jubilantly replies: "Correct!"
Light brightens the dark. The darkness shrinks and shrinks away until nothing is left but a small patch and causes Dark, who interrupted her class' play by blanketing everything in darkness, to show up. She seals the two together afterwards, at their request.[4]
Sakura Cards arc
The Light and The Dark are the last cards to be transformed into a Sakura Card.
Light is transformed in Episode 69 in the anime and in Volume 11 in the manga; Sakura transforms it with Dark's, Syaoran's, Yue's and Cerberus' help to end Eriol's spell upon Tomoeda. As a sakura card in the manga she recieves a star on her crown and a star in the sun above her chest.
Magic and Abilities
Light Magic: The Light's primary magic is to be able to create and control light. She can also bring forth the sunrise.
Special Sealing and Activation Properties: The Light is special in that she cannot be physically attacked. She is also always together with Dark, so they must always be sealed together, used together and transformed together.
Fortune Telling: All Clow Cards have the ability to help their user predict the future. Their method of fortune-telling is similar to that of tarot cards. The interpretation of the message the Clow Cards relay depends on the magical power of the user.
Light is the first card under Cerberus, and the cards under her, draw power from Western magic and the Sun. The cards aligned under her are:
- She is Voiced by Rei Sakuma, who also voiced The Dark card.

"I guess nobody can stay on top forever." — Veteran GM (GM) employee Walt Novak on news that Toyota (TM) overtook GM in first-quarter global unit sales, as reported by The New York Times
One of Wall Street's big-time Republican fund-raisers, Morgan Stanley (MS) CEO John Mack, has told BusinessWeek that he and his wife, Christy, are endorsing Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, whom they supported for re-election as senator.
Mack previously reached Ranger status in Republican campaign finance circles by raising at least $200,000 for President George W. Bush's reelection in 2004. (Former Goldman Sachs (GS) CEO Hank Paulson, now U.S. Treasury Secretary, raised a Pioneer-worthy $100,000.) Mack, who says he'll stay a registered Republican, was also considered a possible candidate for various Bush Administration posts over the years.
It's too early to tell who the other major bank chiefs will back. But Mack's switch could tip the balance of power toward the Democrats. According to nonpartisan contribution tracker PoliticalMoneyLine, three of the other top six bank CEOs (Goldman's Lloyd Blankfein, Lehman's (LEH) Richard Fuld Jr., and JPMorgan Chase's (JPM ) Jamie Dimon) have favored Democrats in their political giving patterns over the past few years. Bear Stearns (BSC) CEO Jimmy Cayne is strongly Republican. Citigroup's (C) Charles Prince and Merrill Lynch (MER) CEO Stan O'Neal have bipartisan donation habits.
Why did Mack switch to a Democratic Presidential contender? It started four years ago, when Senator Clinton spoke at Credit Suisse (CS), where Mack was then co-CEO. Clinton, he says, appeared willing to work with Republicans and had a firm grasp of financial industry and health-care issues. Mack is a board member of New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Christy, a doctor's daughter, is president of the Bravewell Collaborative, a medical foundation. "I know we're associated mainly with the Republicans, but we've always gone for the individual," says Mack, who gave almost $70,000 to Republicans in the past five years, vs. $10,000 to four Democratic congressional hopefuls, including Clinton. Mack's endorsement, Clinton told BusinessWeek, "sends a signal that we need to get beyond politics as usual and the partisan divide."
To the list of our eco-problems add one more: We're running out of soil. In Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations, David Montgomery explores our primordial dependency on fertile ground and our habit of treating it like, well, dirt. Just as healthy soil played a central role in humanity's early successes, abuses of land have doomed more than a few promising peoples. In the past, the University of Washington historian writes, farming cultures bounced back. A fresh field was always over the next hill or across the sea. No more. Arable land is maxed out. Bad water policies, deforestation, and industrial farming mean dirt is being washed—and blown—away faster than nature can replace it. Chemical fertilizers help, for now. But rising energy costs and more land loss point to looming food crises. There are solutions, Montgomery says: Make more soil through large-scale composting. To cut erosion, poke seeds into the earth rather than tilling whole fields. Treat dirt with a little more love.
Zillow.com, the Web site that lets you peek at the estimated market values of 50 million homes, is in a prickly spot in Arizona. The state Board of Appraisal has ordered it not to provide its computer-generated "Zestimates" for home values in the state because it isn't a licensed appraiser. Officials issued two cease-and-desist orders, then turned the matter over to the criminal division of the state Attorney General's office, which is investigating, says Deborah Pearson, the appraisal board's executive director. Some state lawmakers are trying to rein in the board, but a first attempt to permit Zestimates went awry in the state House of Representatives on Apr. 24.
Zillow says its estimates aren't formal appraisals, so it doesn't require a license. It also hopes to "engage in a productive dialogue" with board officials. The stakes for Zillow, which issues millions of estimates monthly, are high: Its Zestimates are the ad-supported site's biggest draw, and 25 states have similar licensing laws.
Now the French can vote with their investments: Ahead of the country's May 6 presidential election, Société Générale (SCGLY) has been marketing two funds—one containing stocks the bank thinks would benefit from a win by conservative Nicolas Sarkozy, the other tailored to a victory by Socialist Ségolène Royal.
The portfolio assuming a Sarkozy victory includes shares in big employers such as hotel group Accor and food-services giant Sodexho Alliance (SDX), both of which could flourish under Sarkozy's plan to scrap France's rigid 35-hour workweek law. In the other fund: companies such as tiremaker Michelin and advertising giant Publicis Groupe (PUB), which could benefit from a Royal proposal to grant tax breaks to businesses that forgo big dividend payouts to plow earnings back into operations.
Despite the candidates' diverging economic rhetoric, about half the stocks in both funds are the same. Both include building-materials company Saint-Gobain, water- and waste-treatment group Veolia Environnement (VE), and engineering giant Alstom. Both Sarkozy and Royal pledge greater spending on housing construction and the environment, a Société Générale spokesman explains, and both favor support for national champions like Alstom, which got a government bailout when Sarkozy was Finance Minister. Given that sort of consensus, "it is not easy to discern the market impact" of a win by either candidate, the spokesman says. That may help explain why neither fund is a star performer. Both have risen just 5% since launching in February, barely budging after Sarkozy and Royal won their runoff slots on Apr. 22.
Workplace-violence consultants report a flood of calls from corporate clients in the wake of the Virginia Tech shootings. "Everybody's nervous about all the potentially threatening people they put off dealing with," says James Turner, president of International Assessment Services in San Diego. On-the-job killings have plunged since 1994, but only because of fewer homicides in places like taxis and convenience stores. Workplace homicides by "associates"—current and former co-workers, customers, and clients—are up overall since 1997.
The President's signature domestic program—the No Child Left Behind Act—is languishing on Capitol Hill, and a politically weakened George W. Bush is counting on corporate executives to lead a rescue. If Congress fails to beef up the law in 2007, the Administration fears its plans to expand the program will fall victim to election-year politics.
Executives say the 2001 law—which toughens standards in primary and middle schools, mandates annual tests, and holds states accountable for underachieving schools—is essential to providing math and science skills needed to keep the U.S. competitive.
Like many executives, the Administration wants to expand the program into high schools. "There's no time to waste," says Education Secretary Margaret Spellings.
But the Iraq War has sapped Bush's political capital, and a $248 billion budget deficit complicates attempts to expand federal programs. There are also obstacles at both ends of the political spectrum: Conservatives want to cut the federal role in schools, while teachers' unions don't like the testing regimen.
Trying to overcome all this, 80 companies—including Intel, Ernst & Young, and Microsoft—have joined the Business Coalition for Student Achievement. The group is pushing new members of the House and Senate education committees to review and expand the law. They'll also target key lawmakers from swing states. Another group, including U.S. Chamber of Commerce boss Thomas Donohue and former Clinton White House Chief of Staff John Podesta, is holding weekly strategy sessions on strengthening the act. "Tom Donohue and I, we don't agree on that much," says Podesta, now CEO of the liberal Center for American Progress. "[But] this is not a Left-Right issue."

Is the Tooth Fairy an economic prognosticator or just penurious these days? For the 6- to 10-year-old set, losing a tooth this year is less rewarding than it was in 2006, according to the latest poll conducted by Securian Dental, a corporate health plan provider. While the gifts range from 25 cents to $20, the survey of nearly 1,000 Securian customers found, the average under-the-pillow payout is just $1.71, down 15% from last year—17%, adjusted for inflation. Indeed, calculated in real terms, the amount is the lowest since 2000.
The 2007 number is puzzling, says Marty Weiland, an operations analyst for Securian, because the average "usually reflects" the health of the economy, which has been chugging along. "Maybe the Tooth Fairy didn't invest as well as the general public," he says.
The last time former junk-bond king Michael Milken got this caliber of takeover artists all in the same room, he was hosting his Predators' Ball. This month the setting was the annual Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles, where an Apr. 24 panel included Apollo Advisors' Leon Black, Texas Pacific Group's David Bonderman, Carlyle Group's David Rubenstein, and buyout pioneer Thomas Lee.
One topic: The new trend of private equity firms selling shares to the public. "I wouldn't be surprised if all of the major firms are public four years from now," Rubenstein said. The quartet, who together manage more than $100 billion, also discussed Congress' efforts to tax their fees as income rather than at lower capital-gains rates. Mostly though, the talk was about how long their fat annual returns can last. "Money is gushing in the streets," Bonderman said. No one disagreed. What book are you recommending to friends or colleagues?
"Team of Rivals, by Doris Kearns Goodwin. It's a marvelous book about Lincoln's unique leadership style. Also, Before the Dawn, by Nicholas Wade, which traces early history, before the invention of writing.—Richard Parsons, chairman and CEO, Time Warner

Organic Moroccan Argan Oil
Argan oil is essentially plant oil, which is obtained by pressing the kernels of the Argan Tree that is found in Morocco only. The Argan Tree has a life span of around 150 to 200 years and starts producing the oil giving fruit at the age of 30 to 50 years. Since this tree is found in some areas of Morocco only; the argan oil is quite rare.
Argan oil is considered to be a miracle product for hair restoration as well as a means of moisturising the cuticles. Unlike the synthetically produced oils, organic Moroccan argan oil is available in its purest form and thus, is an effective remedy for healthy hair. Owing to the extreme moisturising benefits of argan oil, it is highly effective in restoring the lost health of hair as well as skin.
As against some other products available in the market, organic Moroccan argan oil does not mask dryness temporarily. It's rich in Vitamin E, which moisturises each strand of hair, and prevents it from getting damaged. In addition to this, the organic Moroccan argan oil also contains antioxidants that directly work on cellular damage, and restore the cuticles.
Owing to the increasing popularity and the spectacular health benefits of the organic Moroccan argan oil, most of the cosmetic companies have now started making use of it in their products. Although the products might be advertised as containing moisturising ingredients, most of the times argan oil is not listed as the primary ingredient. Also, when this oil is mixed with synthetic ingredients, such as, colours, perfumes, harsh chemicals and preservatives, it can be disadvantageous for your hair, leaving it extremely dry and damaged. This is why it is essential to go for a product that uses organic Moroccan argan oil in its purest form.

Florida Georgia Line graces the cover of this week's issue of Billboard to discuss touring, writing, country music and following their instincts. The duo knew from the first time they sat down together to put pen to paper that they had something they needed to pursue.
Watch Florida Georgia Line's "'Round Here" Video >>
"From the first song we wrote together we felt we had something cool," Tyler Hubbard said. "We worked easily together, we had a lot in common, and onstage it was really natural. It was a party. We just had fun with it."
The pair have turned heads with their back-to-back No. 1 hits, including their debut single "Cruise" and "Get Your Shine On." Their sound blurs the lines between country and rock but most importantly, stays true to the sound the duo can call their own.
"We write what we want to write," Tyler said. "It's mixing all of it together. We've been really blessed that what we love to write is attractive to people right now. People are grasping onto it. It puts us in a slot to be able to get out of the box and step out of the country music boundaries a little bit, and hopefully innovate a little bit."
"I think people are looking for something fresh and new," Brian Kelley agreed. "Our fans seem to spread the music like wildfire. That doesn't always happen, and it's special to us and we're blessed to be a part of it. It's something really cool. It's an exciting time, and a time we both hope continues to grow."
Florida Georgia Line's latest video, "'Round Here," is at radio now. They are currently special guests on Luke Bryan's Dirt Road Diaries Tour and will launch their first headlining tour this fall.

You know, I think the Federation is flawed. I agree that it tends to turn a blind eye in the name of not interfering with other cultures' internal affairs, I agree that it's arrogant about its value system, and I agree that one of its goals is to persuade that other cultures should join it.
But to sit there and say that that makes the Federation unworthy of existence?
Please. That's being worse than the Federation itself has ever been.
No culture is perfect;
culture is going to have flaws, some big and some small. It's just part of life.
When we look at the United Federation of Planets, we're looking at a fictional society that is of interstellar scope, yet has universal personal liberty and self-determination; in which there is either no class system or a very weak class system; in which there is no poverty; in which nobody is hungry; in which nobody wants for basic necessities of life; in which civilization and the natural environment co-exist in harmony; in which there is freedom of speech and of the press; in which there is no racism, nor, apparently, speciesism; in which there is no religious bigotry or religious domination; in which diversity is a valued principle, and homogeneity is not seen as superior; in which there is no caste-based discrimination; in which there is an incredibly strong democratic tradition; in which the right of the individual to protection from self-incrimination is venerated; in which there are no giant corporations to dominate the government and subvert democracy; in which there are, however, privately-owned businesses with genuine equality of opportunity; in which people who stand accused of crimes are innocent until proven guilty; in which the accused are entitled to a trial by jury of their peers on indictment from a grand jury; in which those found guilty are afforded rehabilitative care rather than the systematic torture we find in most developed countries today; in which local governments have much more forms of guaranteed autonomy than we often find in modern federations; in which the commitment to egalitarian foreign policy is so strong that it bends over backwards to avoid any tendencies towards imperialism.
Does the Federation have major flaws? Of course. All societies do. But the vast majority things that most cultures today get wrong, the Federation gets right -- while not giving up the things we get right today. To say that its flaws, which are modest in comparison to those suffered by the United States and its allies today, mark him as fundamentally corrupt, is just disgusting.
Meanwhile, on the astropolitical scene, it's surrounded by a feudal dictatorship (the Klingon Empire), a aristocratic oligarchy (the Romulan Star Empire), a plutocracy (the Ferengi Alliance), and a military dictatorship (the Cardassian Union). It is clearly superior to its neighbors if someone values liberty, democracy, equality, and justice.
By any reasonable standard, the Federation is a wonderful, amazing society that manages to find a much better balance between personal freedom and egalitarianism than societies in real life do. Does it have flaws? Sure. There will be no society without flaws. But it's a damn sight better than anything that's ever existed in real life, and a damn sight better than its fictional alternatives. I would
to live in a society as free and egalitarian and just as the United Federation of Planets.
While I agree with the
's post here (yes, I know--
)--that no society is perfect, and that what the Federation has done
makes it frankly infinitely preferable to the stated alternatives...
Still, there's certainly a challenge to be made here:
there is no racism, nor, apparently, speciesism; in which there is no religious bigotry or religious domination; in which diversity is a valued principle, and homogeneity is not seen as superior; in which there is no caste-based discrimination;
I'm not frankly convinced that this is the case, that the Federation trully has shed bigotry or prejudice. We've seen it in many forms in the Federation and Starfleet--not just in "rogue" villains, but even in our
We've seen hostility towards Spock because he
like a Romulan; we've seen Solok taunt Sisko--and are informed as to his mindset that Vulcans are inherently superior to humans. Also, Quark was certainly on to something in "The Jem'Hadar" about human/Federation prejudice towards Ferengi (dramatized fully in the novel
The 34th
While there is no religious "domination"--we see in Picard, and Keiko and Jadzia and Bashir and Jake, a kind of snobbish attitude towards religious beliefs--from Picard's describing the Mintakans' initial abandonment of religion as progress, to Jake's initial description of Bajoran religion as "dumb".
The Federation pays lip service to "diversity"--but, as even
I agree that it's arrogant about its value system, and I agree that one of its goals is to persuade that other cultures should join it.
(Frankly, I'd describe the last point as, to be blunt, "imperialism".)
In other words...for all the talk about promotion of "diversity", it is decidedly intolerant about value systems that disagree with its own.
Now--I know, this brings up the classical debate of "Should we tolerate the intolerant? If so, isn't that promoting intolerance--and therefore self-defeating? If not...doesn't refusing to tolerate the intolerant make
intolerant--and therefore, isn't such a stance self-defeating?"
(As it were, this is a reason for my being
critical of the concept of IDIC--but that's a debate for another time....)
But, all those questions aside--the point is...the Federation is, as Ezri Dax would put it, "A society that is in deep denial about itself."
Now...the "alternatives" to the Federation are frankly brutal, savage, cutthroat--and otherwise immoral. But the UFP has a much deeper problem, in its denial of its own flaws.
It points to all the good in itself--and passes that off as an excuse to behave as though all is well--that it is a paradise, that its has "progressed" beyond the sins of its neighbors. In fact, it hasn't--such problems have merely changed their form, adapting to fit into the society the members of the UFP have built for themselves. The fact that corrupt rogues such as Layton and Norah Satie and Dougherty and Cartwright were oftentimes able to pursue their destructive ends and nearly succeed points towards that.
Has the Federation "progressed"? Yes--to a point. But its problem has been to accept that point--and allow the work not done to remain not done. Therefore, the problems of prejudice (racial, religious, and philisiophical) and corruption simmer under the surface. Because these problems are not out in the open...the Federation tends to turn a blind eye, and tell itself that things are fine--that it is a paradise.
And that, to be honest, is the most disturbing problem of all.
"The saying implies but does not name the effective agency of its supposed utopia.... 'Needs and abilities' are, of course, subjective. So the operative statement may be reduced to 'the State shall take, the State shall give'."
