As the government cannot charge for the vast majority of FOIA requests, the consequence of this ill-conceived proposal would be either an unnecessary dent in EOIR's operating budget or lengthy, unacceptable, and inexcusable backlogging of FOIA requests. Alan Lee, Esq.
The personal essence is a descriptive concept of a individual's vital or life force. Vital force is considered the primary force of all forces. It is the divine creative intelligence. When the personal essence is strong and in harmony with the individual there is health. Imbalance, lack of harmony or coherence in the personal essence is a precursor (even an actual cause) of subsequent disease.
Personal identity deals with philosophical questions that arise about ourselves by virtue of our being people (or, as lawyers and philosophers like to say, persons). This contrasts with questions about ourselves that arise by virtue of our being living things, conscious beings, material objects, or the like.
