Moral Politcs
How Liberals and Conservatives Think
by
George Lakoff
In "Moral Politics", the first full-scale application of
cognitive science to politics, George Lakoff analyzes the
unconscious world-views of liberals and conservatives,
explaining why they are at odds over so many seemingly
unrelated issues---like taxes, abortion, regulation, and
social programs.
The differences, Lakoff argues, are not mere matterns of
partitisanship, but arise from radically different con-
ceptions of morality and ideal family life---meaning that
family and morality are at the heart of American politics,
in ways that are far from obvious.

The Power of Nonviolence
Writings by Advocates of Peace
"The Power of Nonviolence, the first anthology of
alternatives to war with a historical perspective - with
an introduction by Howard Zinn about Septebmer 11 and the
U.S. response to the terrorist attacks - presents the most
alient and persuasive arguments for peace in the last
2,500 years of history. The Power of Nonviolence is a
compelling step forward in the study of pacifism, a timely
anthology that fills a void for people looking for
responses to crises that are not based on guns or bombs."

"Former United States Senator J. William Fulbright,
Chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, stated repeatedly in 1973, "Israel controls the
(U.S.) Senate." Senator James G. Abourezk of South Dakota
told reporters at a Colorado Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner
where he was keynote speaker in 1977, "as a United States
Senator, I have sworn an oath to uphold the government of
the United States, but I never dreamed I would be required
to swear allegiance to any other government." He
continued, "the United States is likely to become, if it
has not already become, a captive state of its client
state." Senator Fulbright was driven from office by the
very lobby he tried to expose, a testimony to the power of
the Ireaeli lobby (Senator Abourezk served only one term).

%##ACKNOWLEDGE SHAREWARE COMPUTER PROGRAM AUTHORS 999905
Extensive use has been made of shareware computer
programs in the process of developing the ESSAYS SYSTEM.
All editing of essay texts and batch jobs had been
done with the use of PC-Write created by Bob Wallace and
marketed by Quicksoft, 219 First N. #244, Seattle, WA
98109, (206) 282-0452. Much of the processing of word
lists in locating mis-spelled words and managing
dictionaries of good/bad words has been done with
SPELLER.COM which came with a very early version of PC-
WRITE. I have found PC-Write very useful and
satisfactory!
Of major help in final checking of spelling in text
and dictionaries of good/bad words has been the spell
check programs by Acropolis Software, P.O. Box 5037,
4620 Hazel Ave., Fair Oaks, CA 95628. CompuServe
EasyPlex mail number 75146.3471 or Prodigy mail to
RBJN67A. Provided is a fine dictionary management
system!
I have used PKARC and PKZIP for both file achieving
and to facilitate file management. Contact PKWARE, Inc.,
7545 N. Port Washington Rd., Glendale, WI 53217.
The program ASK.EXE with documentation ASK.DOC by
Sidney H. Gudes has facilitated user responses to the
batch jobs of the Essays System.
The program LIST by Vernon D. Buerg has been of
significant help to me in quickly seeing contents of
files without having to load up a full text editor. Write
to Vernon D. Buerg, 456 Lakeshire Drive, Daly City, CA
94015.
The program FINDX by Fulvio J. Castelli has helped me
in locating lines of text in files with output to screen,
printer or a disk file for later manipulation. It is
easy to use. Write to Fulvio J. Castelli at 4844 King
Edward, Montreal, Quebec, CANADA H4V 2J6.
The Patri-Soft Utilities by Norm Patriquin have been
often very helpful to me, especially PSEARCH and PCOPY. I
have used PSEARCH to create a selective file-backup
system which runs automatically whenever I re-boot and
let the system autoexec file run to completion. Contact
The Patri-Soft Utilities, P.O. Box 8263, San Bernadino,
CA 92412. Patriquin's BBS for (DATA) is 714-369-9766.
I have used the program VIRUCIDE which packages the
ViruCide software by McAfee Associates. Contact Parsons
Technology, Inc. 375 Collins Rd. NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
52402, USA.
The compiled programs have been written in and
compiled with the interactive professional verion of
Microsoft BASIC. Contact Microsoft at 16011 NE 36th Way,
Box 97017, Redmond, WA 987073-9717.
For overall disk management I have used the Norton
Utilities marketed by Symantic Corporation, 10201 Torre
Avenue, Cupertino, CA 95014-2132; phone 408-253-9600. I
have also used MS-DOS 5.0 with DOS-SHELL by Microsoft.

##ACKNOWLEDGE PARENT FRIEND STUDENT BIOGRAPHY 999905
These writings are rooted in my origins, family and
relationships with those who have blessed me with their
willingness to enter into open and honest dialogue.
Without their nurture and support I would not have had
the insights to share with others.
My natural mother, Letha Brubaker, I did not really
get to know, for she died in Medellin, Colombia, South
America when I was only seven years old. Yet early she
nurtured my curiosity and freedom to ask deep questions.
Through my loss of her as a child I have gained a dim
insight into the loss of adult children of dysfunctional
families.
My father, Pryor T. Smith, Sr., was a missionary for
the Presbyterian Church in Colombia, South America; and
then pastor to small churches in the American Mid-West.
From him I picked up an interest in proper procedures in
collective decision making and a thoughtful consider-
ation of the Christian Faith.
Alice Sjogren courageously married into our large
family of five young children and nurtured us and an
addition to the family to adulthood and many varied and
productive professional careers.
I remember fondly friendships with schoolmates in
Geneseo, Illinois where I attended grades 6 through 12
and started the process of forming close friendships; and
also the closer ties with friends at Park College where
my interests in Philosophy were nurtured by Harold
Durphee, in theology by William B. Easton, and in
Physics by Lawrence McAniny.
Drs. Robert Sard and Arthur Hughes at Washington,
University and Jack Schnips at Tufts University helped me
through the formal training for my career as a physicist.
I am indebted to Drs. Kasper, Moninger, Feller,
Borgwald and Cottingham who have in the Coe Physics
Department been sympathetic to my search for
understanding although it has not often been clear where
it was leading; and to Coe College for supporting me
through a series of sabbaticals which strayed from the
traditional paths of science professors. I appreciate
the opportunity to spend time and work in the Physics
Department and Graduate School of Science Education at
the University of Iowa, as my experiences there have
added breadth to my experiences in the small college
setting. I am indebted to Dr. Arnold Strassenberg for
inviting me to join him and other physics teachers in the
wonderful trip to visit physics departments in Russia and
China.
I am particularly indebted to my closest student
friends at Coe College who over the years have revealed
to me in many extended conversations the kinds of
difficulties which many students have with the peculiar
character of scientists and their ways of barely relating
to students as persons while focusing intently upon
abstract ideas. Without their quiet encouragement and
support I would never have come to my present
understanding of many of the connections which have been
made clear to me through my close friendships with them.
Margaret McCluggage became an understanding wife and
sympathetic supporter of my ventures while I was yet in
graduate school, and has encouraged my efforts in ways
which few women would have, and without which much of my
writing would not have occurred.
I am also grateful for my many friends and supporters
in the Iowa Democratic Party who offered me the
opportunity to expand my horizons through influential
service to the Iowa Democratic Party in the years of
rapid change when Iowa came to be an early testing ground
for America's Presidential Candidates. Those experiences
added an important balance to my professional life.
The books which I have read have influenced my
patterns of thought in ways which have never been
recorded. I have never made nor worked with written
notes as I read the many books so I cannot trace where
many ideas and insights came from, but a little
consideration and attention to dates of publication and
of my writings will suggest the likely sources. I
appreciate and thank all the authors of the many books
which have deeply moved me.
