In 1976, Moon established News World Communications, an international news media conglomerate which publishes The Washington Times newspaper in Washington, D.C., and newspapers in South Korea, Japan, and South America, partly in order to promote political conservatism. According to The Washington Post, "the Times was established by Moon to combat communism and be a conservative alternative to what he perceived as the liberal bias of The Washington Post."[183] Bo Hi Pak, called Moon's "right-hand man", was the founding president and the founding chairman of the board.[184] Moon asked Richard L. Rubenstein, a rabbi and college professor, to join its board of directors.[185] The Washington Times has often been noted for its generally pro-Israel editorial policies.[140] In 2002, during the 20th anniversary party for the Times, Moon said: "The Washington Times will become the instrument in spreading the truth about God to the world."[183]
The key to determining whether Colo. Rev. Stat. 18-9122(3) (1999) makes a content-based distinction between varieties of speech lies in understanding that content-based discriminations are subject to strict scrutiny because they place the weight of government behind the disparagement or suppression of some messages, whether or not with the effect of approving or promoting others. United States v. Playboy Entertainment Group, Inc., 529 U. S. 803, 812 (2000); R. A. v: v. St. Paul, 505 U. S. 377, 382 (1992); cf. Police Dept. of Chicago v. Mosley, 408 U. S. 92, 95-96 (1972). Thus the government is held to a very exacting and rarely satisfied standard when it disfavors the discussion of particular subjects, Simon & Schuster, Inc. v. Members of N. Y. State Crime Victims Bd., 502 U. S. 105, 116 (1991), or particular viewpoints within a given subject matter, Carey v. Brown, 447 U. S. 455, 461-463 (1980) (citing Chicago, supra, at 95-96); cf. National Endowment for Arts v. Finley, 524 U. S. 569, 601-602 (1998) (SOUTER, J., dissenting).
How To Be Happy at Any Weight… Part 462: My Unabashed Truth
universe of content-based regulations is limited to those two categories, and such a holding would be absurd. Imagine, for instance, special place-and-manner restrictions on all speech except that which "conveys a sense of contentment or happiness." This "happy speech" limitation would not be "viewpoint based"-citizens would be able to express their joy in equal measure at either the rise or fall of the NASDAQ, at either the success or the failure of the Republican Party-and would not discriminate on the basis of subject matter, since gratification could be expressed about anything at all. Or consider a law restricting the writing or recitation of poetry-neither viewpoint based nor limited to any particular subject matter. Surely this Court would consider such regulations to be "content based" and deserving of the most exacting scrutiny.l
So, with weight loss dialed in, next comes getting stronger. This is pure self preservation and wisdom imparted to me by my physical therapist who laughed at my pathetic attempts to engage my gluteus on day one of my therapy back in April.
Yet another result is that they cannot be used to motivate thinking of some epistemic norms evaluatively, rather than deontically, as aims, goals, or ideals, rather than requirements. Those who are happy to endorse the idea that truth is an aim of belief (most epistemologists), but recoil at the idea that we are epistemically required to believe only truths (again, most epistemologists) will not find any support for their view from guidance considerations.
According to current and formerWal-Mart workers and managers with whom Human Rights Watch spoke, as well asNLRB cases against the company, managers take full advantage of thisopportunity, particularly during union organizing drives.[350]During the organizing drive at the Kingman, Arizona, Wal-Martfacility, "[a]t virtually every meeting held with groups of employees,[Wal-Mart's] managers stressed the 'open door' policy. . . .References to the open door policy inmaterial made available to employees can be accurately described asubiquitous."[351]Cory Butcher, a union supporter, alsoexplained that at store meetings during union formation efforts at her SereneAvenue, Las Vegas, Nevada, Sam's Club, management "stressed . .. that they had the Open Door Policy if [we] needed to discuss anything. . ..We're one big, happy family.We're a team."[352]
As if harboring fears that itswages, benefits, and working conditions will prompt workers to organize,Wal-Mart frequently begins to communicate its union philosophy to workers assoon as they are hired.Management oftenuses new employee training and orientation to impart negative views oforganizing and dissuade workers from even considering union formation.According to current and former Wal-Martworkers with whom Human Rights Watch spoke, new hires often receive informationabout unions, particularly if the store at which they are hired has been thetarget of a union organizing campaign.These new employee programs carry the full weight of thesuperior-subordinate employment relationship and convey a clear message thatmanagement, on whose good graces workers' livelihoods depend, opposes workers'self-organization.
Four days after workers filed theunion petition, Wal-Mart posted a notice for a service technician positionopening in the TLE, a step to remedy the staff shortages about which TLEworkers had frequently complained.Approximately three days later, Michael Bennett, Wal-Mart's vicepresident for TLE at the time; David Hill, TLE district manager in 2000; andGary Wright, TLE regional manager at the time, met with TLE workers to addressother issues about which workers had repeatedly voiced concern.The ALJ found that the managers promised toremedy the tool shortages and equipment problems, including faulty air hoses,tire machines, and wheel balancers, and to increase staffing so that employeeswould not have to skip their lunches or work late.The ALJ noted that Bennett told the workersthat he understood their frustrations with Hill and that Hill was going to beretrained and replaced.[779]Commenting on Hill's departure, former TLEworker Streckeisen told Human Rights Watch, "Workers were happy that Dave Hillwas fired."[780] 2ff7e9595c
