Quote by John Boehner

Earmarks have become a symbol of a Congress that has broken faith with the people. This earmark ban shows the American people we are listening and we are dead serious about ending business as usual in Washington.

Earmarks have become a symbol of a Congress that has broken

Summary

This quote suggests that earmarks, which refer to specific provisions in legislation that allocates funds for specific projects, have become synonymous with a Congress that has betrayed the trust of the citizens. The earmark ban is seen as a signal to the American people that members of Congress are attentive to their concerns and are committed to putting an end to the typical way of conducting business in Washington. This demonstrates a determination to bring about meaningful change in the legislative process and prioritize the interests of the people over special interests.

Physical objects are conceptually imported into the situatio

Physical objects are conceptually imported into the situation as convenient intermediaries not by definition in terms of experience, but simply as irreducible posits comparable, epistemologically, to the gods of Homer . . . For my part I do, qua lay physicist, believe in physical objects and not in Homer's gods; and I consider it a scientific error to believe otherwise. But in point of epistemological footing, the physical objects and the gods differ only in degree and not in kind. Both sorts of entities enter our conceptions only as cultural posits.
