An Unoriginal Joke, Part I
Charles Barzun Sometimes parody reveals more truth than even the parodist intended. Last week I tweeted what was meant as an offhand joke about originalism but which was taken seriously by some. But those who did take it seriously sparked a debate that ended up being fruitful in a way I had not remotely foreseen. Eventually I’d like to say more about that, but first I want to state more explicitly the point I was trying to convey. The joke was this: I wrote, “*I have a new theory of constitutional law. I call it ‘living constitutionalism.’ It claims that the Const. has been i... more »

On its way to Bafut, the expedition stopped over in the town of Mamfe to collect animals. A trip to investigate a repor... more »

Such a battle would also be influenced by factors outside the two fleets, including land-based air power, ballistic missiles, space assets, and even cyber.

Can Science Explain Religion?
Interesting read. From my perspective, the spiritual world actively informs and guides our physical world at a very deep level. Not least because it is as physical as the world we perceive. We all have problems separating that guidance from counter noise and even misdirection from individual spirit forms engaged in mischief. For a long time we have pretended that it was not real. It is a strategy at least and helps drive logical analysis which happens to be important. It is also important to understand what GOD actually is and what first tier matter is along with second tier... more »
