In early October, as they reached the Humboldt River in central Nevada, supplies were perilously low, animals were dying, days were hot and tempers short. While driving his wagon up a steep, sandy slope, the young teamster John Snyder began to beat his oxen with a whip handle. Reed intervened, and Snyder's frustration turned on him. With the butt of his whip he slashed Reed's forehead. Reed drew a knife, in self-defense. Snyder struck again, and Reed stabbed him in the chest. Within half an hour the young man was dead. Feelings against Reed ran so strong, some wanted to hang him. But others spoke out in his behalf. A compromise was struck, and he was banished.

Why do you think political parties emerged even though most Americans opposed them?
shepuryov [24]
<span>To divide we the people to weaken us, set us against each other with blame games and propaganda. Party loyalty blinders keep us from watching too closely what our own party representatives are doing against our own interests. 
Like professional wrestlers they appear to be bitter rivals in public but are the best of friends behind closed doors. They have led us to think that only someone from their parties can win an election. If we vote for a third party candidate we have "thrown our vote away" on someone who stands no chance of winning and let that "evil other party" candidate win. We feel compelled to vote for the "lesser" of the two evils being offered. 
Consider this: Both parties of the Senate said that the TARP bill lacked oversight to protect the taxpayer's money (concerning the original 3 page one passed by the House of Representatives). They claimed they were going to add protection and oversight to it. Then behind closed doors they added 137 pages of earmark spending and NO oversight or protection. Bush signed it and they closed the 110 Session of Congress knowing that they had an automatic pay raise in place. Both parties were involved so no evil other party blame games could be played. 
Instead they faked outrage when the AIG bonus news came out and blamed the Management for not following rules which they had failed to put into the TARP bill in the first place. Watch this video

LenaWriter [7]

In Rwanda, a farmer is hiding a group of persecuted Tutsis from a Hutu military commander. The farmer believes that he has to always tell the truth, and that this is a categorical imperative. If the Hutu commander asks if he has any hidden Tutsis, and he tells the truth, who is to blame for the Tutsis’ capture according to Kantian theory?

A. The farmer, because saving lives is more important than respecting duty.

B. The Tutsis who are hiding because it was unethical of them to take advantage of the farmer

C. The Rwandans who started the war that led to these circumstances

D. Hutu commander, because only he is responsible for his own decisions

Answer:

D. Hutu commander, because only he is responsible for his own decisions

Explanation:

Kantian theory is a philosophical ethical theory which is propounded by Immanuel Kant, a German Philosopher, the theory is based on the belief that the only intrinsically good thing is a good will.

In other words, an action can only be good if its main and only reason behind it, is duty to the moral law, such as saying the truth always.

The main idea to Kant's ideal of the moral law is the categorical imperative, which works on all people, regardless of their interests or desires

Hence, in this case, the farmer is having obeyed the moral law, which is categorically imperative, then it is the Hutu's commander that is to be blamed for the capture of Tutis, because he his responsible for his own decision, whether to let them go free or not.
