The Superior Court of California, County of Butte, has "Granted" numerous orders about "Media Coverage" of the trial of Kevin and Elizabeth Schatz. I believe that these kinds of orders have been issued in order to insure that Mr. and Mrs. Schatz will be able to receive a fair trial. I am very concerned about the first sentence of the paragraph about Lydia Schatz, in the article titled List of deaths by corporal punishment. I have requested that the author of that sentence remove the entire paragraph (see "Not Guilty Pleas and the Right to a Fair Trial", Talk:List of deaths by corporal punishment). I am reluctant to remove that paragraph myself because of the court orders about media coverage and because I do not know what the legal ramifications of my removing that paragraph might be. I therefore request that you evaluate this situation and take whatever action you think is appropriate. DPS145192 (talk) 08:24, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
What is the importance of values and principles in our life? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.233.57 (talk) 10:31, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
In Europe, the second scenario seems to me to be the most common. I've heard that in the US, the first choice is the standard one. However, how can you fill completely your tank if you have to pay first?--Quest09 (talk) 10:59, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
If we really are free for that, why do the 4 Cardinal virtues of Prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Fortitude, sound much more virtuous than the 4 virtues of blowing balls with chewing gum, riding a bike without your hands, binge drinking, and playing darts? (the latter 4 virtues are invented, don't focus your life around them).--Quest09 (talk) 11:24, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
The Cardinal virtues are derived from Plato (see Protagoras 330b) who didn't have chewing gum or a bicycle. Cuddlyable3 (talk) 16:10, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
The OP asks whether we're free to choose our values. The key question: What, if anything, is stopping him from choosing his values? The answer to that will lead to the answer to his question. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 16:17, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Molière wrote that every woman's ambition is to inspire Love. Man's ambition is to find one who inspires for free. Cuddlyable3 (talk) 15:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Which group of four people is probably the most famous "quartet" in history? The Beatles, the Four Evangelists? Who else might come into question? --KnightMove (talk) 18:57, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
I'd speculate that Washington, Lincoln, Hamilton and Jackson compose an extremely significant quartet. While I'm not disputing that the Beatles and the four primary disciples are both exceedingly famous, but there are certainly some (Hasidic Jews, for example) who could not pick either of these four out of a line-up of ten. US currency, however dismal the exchange rate may be, is, I believe, universally recognized as a firm entity upon which to depend. I think it's a distinct possibility that more people around the world know the figures on US currency (if not by name, then at least by face) than either of the two aforementioned examples.

It's a good thing you used quotes around 'quartet', KnightMove, because otherwise the only possible answer would have been the members of the Amadeus Quartet: Norbert Brainin, Siegmund Nissel, Peter Schidlof and Martin Lovett. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 08:36, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Is Wikipedia and Wikileaks in any way associated with each other? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.166.223 (talk) 19:09, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
They both want to make information freely available. --138.110.25.31 (talk) 20:19, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for any help and comments, and for reading this long post.
To increase my chances at good responses, I’ve posted the same question in a few other places. RationalWiki's Saloon Bar, Anarchopedia's Community Portal, and
Libertapedia. As per the protocols for cross-posting, the posting in the Wikipedia Reference desk will be the main posting, though I will, of course, read and consider all. If there are objections to my cross-posting, please let me know.
