The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Wait... We've strayed to the point of casual conversation that I thought this was my tab that had TET in it.

Perhaps a gentle nudge back towards the topic.

Charges may be dropped
Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.




The triumph of the Democracy is essential to the struggle of popular liberty

Dear Alabama,

When a fetus is shot, please charge the shooter, i.e. the person doing the shooting. Do not charge the mother. Thank you.

The idea that one can only defend oneself against a highly pregnant woman by shooting her still does seem a bit iffy.
