Section 1 of the Sherman Act forbids "every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy in restraint of trade...." 15 U.S.C.

 Definition of Thomas Jefferson - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 – July 4, 1826) was the third (1801–1809) President of the United States and an American statesman, ambassador to France, political philosopher, revolutionary, agriculturalist, horticulturist, land owner, architect, archaeologist, slaveowner, author and founder of the University of Virginia.
Prior to the passage of the Twelfth Amendment in 1804, each presidential elector would cast two ballots; the highest vote-getter would become President and the runner-up would become Vice President.
Thus, in 1796, the Republican Party fielded Jefferson as a Presidential candidate, but he came in second and therefore became Vice President.

 Immanuel Kant
In Pure Land Buddhism, an important meditative practice is the visualization of the Pure Land of the Buddha Amitabha.
It is always possible to interpret this as unrelated to the independent, or even real, existence of the Pure Land, but the metaphysics clearly allows that the Pure Land is actually created by the act of visualization, since all things are Mind dependent.
This would be an intellectual intuition in a strong Kantian sense, and a form of mysticism, with the transcendence of the Pure Land, in which the identity with the mystical object is facilitated by the absence of any substantial independence of things whatsoever.
