The following information is about Acquiescence.

Acquiescence Defined

Action or inaction which binds a person legally even though it was not intended as such. For example, action which is not intended as a direct acceptance of a contract will nevertheless stand as such as it implies recognition of the terms of the contract. For example, if I display a basket of fruit in a marketplace and you come by, inspect an apple and then bite into it, you have acquiesced to the contract of sale of that apple. Acquiescence also refers to allowing too much time to pass since you had knowledge of an event which may have allowed you to have legal recourse against another, implying that you waive your rights to that legal recourse.

This definition is in context to Canadian Law. See more contextual defintions for Acquiescence.

Quite briefly the essence of the late Lord Keynes's work The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money is: employment fluctuates with the intensity of effective demand, which depends, given a certain propensity to consume, upon the amount of investment — the spending of purchasing power for the purpose of adding to capital equipment.

  • Rory O'Connor: What About the Journalists Who Sold Torture? | | AlterNet: from the page: "... I invariably reach for the New York Times and turn to the latest column by Tom Friedman, that Op-Ed gift that keeps on giving such deep-rooted and seemingly willful sheer wrong-headedne ss as to make ire rise, blood boil, and bile taste most foul... it was no surprise to find him hailing in a recent column Barack (?Split the baby?) Obama's ?torturous compromise? to expose, but not prosecute, those responsible for violating our Constitution and international law... When it comes to America's torturing, none of us are blameless in our actions, our ignorance or our acquiescence - not the President and other senior officials who allowed, not the President and senior officials who condone it by refusing to prosecute, and certainly not citizens who elected them and then looked away. Like Jonathan Alter and his ilk, we all preferred to keep our dirty little torture secrets ?out of sight, out of mind.?"

  • The Oscar for Denial : And the winner is ? The American People by James McEnteer | CommonDreams.o rg: from the page: "Rosenbau m incorrectly accuses The Reader of claiming that most Germans were ignorant of the The Holocaust. The film's underlying assumption is far more damning: everybody knew, but nobody acted on that knowledge. Of course, as Samantha Power recounts in her Pulitzer-Prize winning study of genocide, A Problem From Hell, the United States was also well aware of Hitler's extermination of European Jewry before and during World War Two and also chose to do nothing... the United States faces a new moral crisis, the subversion of our own legal and moral values by high officials of our own government... We know, deep inside us we know, as the Germans who kept their heads down and tried to lead ?normal' lives as genocide exploded all around them, in their name, by their own government, knew, that our government has committed terrible atrocities at home and abroad... But we forfeit our moral authority if we do not take responsibility for the crimes of the Bush-Cheney years..."

  • One Time At Band Camp: Author's notes: This was written for sinnerforhire and she requested J2: AU--high school, marching band camp, JA plays saxophone, JP plays trumpet and it just took over my brain and became this huge thing. This is the longest fandom related thing I've ever written and it's kind of epic for me. I couldn?t help throwing in all the details I could about the band camp at Texas State University, which I attended during my band days, and all the other Texas details, being a Texan myself.
