In view of all the brouhaha over Donald J. Trump’s taxes, and his claim that he is “smart” if he had not paid any, think about this. It comes from Adam Smith’s An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776), Book V, Chapter II, Part II, p. 927.

On December 12, 2012, Care2 published a short piece which they titled “Species Most Likely to Survive a Climate Change Disaster.” In their republishing of it they wrote, “This post is a Care2 favorite, back by popular demand!” You can read the post here, or read my summary, below.

When the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was elected the new pope of the Catholic Church I wrote a short blog entitled “My Hope for the Pope”. My hope rested on his selection of Francis, after St. Francis of Assisi, as his papal name. I drew on Lynn White’s […]
I was recently talking with colleagues, professors in the Quinlan School of Business. A conversation developed between two of them. I’ll just call them Professor A and Professor B.
Professor A was telling us about how some faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences, and in particular, faculty having to do with ecology or environmental […]

This is another example of the nonsense […]
Edelman, the public relations firm, produces an annual Trust Barometer. The 2015 Edelman Trust Barometer is the 15th in the series. For this one they surveyed 33,000 people (27,000 general public and 6,000 informed public) in 27 countries. The issue is trust – the public’s trust in the institutions of government, media, business, and NGOs. […]
We recently had a curriculum meeting at which two issues came up that I thought I’d share with whoever reads this blog. One had to do with handling sensitive or controversial issues in our classes. The other had to do with a sustainability topic. They are related so I will treat them both. My treatment […]
