Free speech

By the beginning of the nineteenth centui"y, Fulton turned his attention to his obsession with submarines and steamships. He made uo secret of his goal for submarines—he intended to build them in order to destroy all ships of war so that appropriate attention could be devoted by society to the fields of education, industry and free speech. In 1801, he managed to stay under water for four hours and twenty minutes in one of his devices, and in 1805 he demonstrated the ability to utilize a torpedo to blow up a well built ship of two hundred tons. Unfortunately for Robert, neither the French nor British government was particularly impressed with the unpredictable success, nor the importance of his innovations so he packed his bags and returned to America in December of 1806. [Pg.538]

Censorship would violate the right to free speech. [Pg.190]

The federal district court ruled that the statute was not vague, because it addresses an understandable core of banned guns and adequately puts gun owners on notice that their weapon could be prohibited. The Court also ruled that the law did not violate anyone s equal protection rights any burden on those rights was acceptable because the rationality of the link between public safety and proscribing assault weapons is obvious. Finally, under the lesser standards protecting commercial speech under the First Amendment, no violation of free speech rights was found. [Pg.90]

Frequently, however, you will find it necessary to provide an extended definition—that is, a longer, more detailed explanation that thoroughly defines the subject. Essays of extended definitions are quite common think, for instance, of the articles you ve seen on mercy killing or abortion that define life in a variety of ways. Other recent essays have grappled with such complex concepts as free speech, animal rights, pornography, affirmative action, and domestic violence. [Pg.248]

Copyright exists to prevent the exploitation of a publication (or trade mark) by anyone other than the publisher. This protection of the right to exploit a publication is central to the promotion of publishing per se, and thus an incentive to disseminate free speech. [Pg.571]

The Mystic J.B.Kerning made use of these Word-Exercises only as an emotional stimulus. Kerning was of the opinion that a Human Being, in order to reach the level of free speech, had to first learn the primary teachings of the language, namely to learn to think and to perceive the letters, then the formation of the words = morphology, and eventually to Syntax, to form sentences. [Pg.29]

Regarding the fatuous notion that definitions of illness do not belong solely to the white-coated realm of pure science, let me restate that, because we have free speech, anyone can define any term. However, when a person calls a dolphin a fish, we don t affirm his right to define what counts as a fish, but dismiss his definition as ill-informed. Similarly, anyone can define disease, but the scientific definition of the concept of disease belongs to medical scientists, just as the scientific definition of the concept of the electron belongs to physicists. [Pg.31]

While useful, these spectral representations only show the speech characteristics at one point in time a further representation called the spectrogram is commonly used to show how the (phase-free) speech representation evolves over time. Figure 7.7 shows an example, in which the vertical axis of the spectrogram represents frequency, the horizontal axis time and the level of darkness amplitude, such that a dark portion states that there is significant energy at that frequency at that time. For illustration, the identities of the sounds for this example utterance are written along the bottom. Some patterns can be seen immediately. Firstly the fricatives and vowels contrast strongly - the vowels have characteristic vertical streaks of the harmonics, and dark bands which move with time. To a certain extent the fricatives also have bands, but the important difference is that the vertical streaks are completely absent. [Pg.160]

This was the development of "born secret" or "classified at birth" information. The assumption was that any atomic energy information was classified until it was declassified.
