The Reconstruction Amendments’ Canonical Texts
For the Symposium on Kurt Lash, The Reconstruction Amendments: The
Essential Documents (University of Chicago Press, 2021)(2 vols.).
Darrell A.H. Miller
Constitutional history is uniquely susceptible to the twin
vices of all works of history: hagiography and Whiggery. There are three
inter-related reasons for this: First, American constitutional culture
reflects the relentless optimism that the constitution, like the common
law, will eventually “work itself pure.” Second, constitutional law is
inescapably normative and consequential—what someone said yesterday deci... read more

Dissent in the Age of COVID - How Researchers Treat Their Peers
It is becoming apparent that anyone, experts in particular, that are
questioning the use of the new, incompletely trialed mRNA COVID-19 vaccines

development.
Let's start with this brief 8 minute-long interview with Dr. Byram Bridle
on May 31, 2021, an Associate Professor Viral Immunioisty an the University
of Guelph in Ontario, Canada with the key part of the interview starting at

Republican Corruption
The latest numbers on vaccinations in the United States are gobsmacking.
Jennifer Rubin writes:
The latest numbers on vaccination rates are telling: Mississippi has the
lowest percentage of vaccinated residents, followed by Alabama, Arkansas,
Wyoming, Louisiana, Georgia and Tennessee. All except Louisiana have both
Republican governors and legislatures, as do the next seven on the list.
Among the 14 U.S. senators representing the bottom seven, only two (both in
Georgia) are Democrats. The Post reports, “Ten states, concentrated in the
Deep South and rural West, report fewer than 3... read more

Starting tomorrow: IN SEARCH OF SOUTH SIDE HIGH!

*How should our schools teach math?: *We're finally prepared to make a
reluctant announcement:
On balance, we aren't big fans of Michele Norris' current work in the
Washington Post.
With great reluctance, we'd even describe her ongoing work as part of "The
Dumbnification of Everything." This highly familiar dumbnification project
is a major element of modern upper-class, upper-end journalism.
This dumbnification can be brought to bear on any conceivable topic. Right

Az erdő fái gyönyörködnek az örömben - M.N. Hopkins beszélgetése
*Jussatok el a felismeréshez, hogy e birodalomban minden élet azon az
illúzión alapul, hogy a szeretet mindent legyőz. A szeretet sem nem győz,
sem nem győz le. A szeretet egy olyan érzelem, amely az univerzum erőivel
egyesülve rendet teremt és értelmet ad az életnek. Mert szeretet nélkül az
élet valóban pokollá válna a birodalmatokban. Túl sokakat hajt a félelem és
a bosszús érzelmek, és csak kevesen látják az örömöt, amely minden dologban
rejlik. Öröm van az esőcseppben éppúgy, mint a napsugarakban. Az erdő fái
gyönyörködnek az örömben, amelyet a birodalmukban élő kicsik és nagy... read more

Gozdna drevesa se veselijo veselja - Razprava M.N. Hopkinsa
*Spoznajte, da vse življenje v tem kraljestvu temelji na iluziji, da
ljubezen premaga vse. Ljubezen ne premaga niti ne premaga. Ljubezen je
čustvo, ki se združi s silami vesolja, da bi vzpostavilo red in razlog za
življenje. Kajti brez ljubezni bi bilo življenje v vašem kraljestvu res
pravi pekel. Vse preveč ljudi poganjajo strah in razburjena čustva, le
redki pa vidijo veselje, ki se skriva v vseh stvareh. Veselje je tako v
dežni kapljici kot v sončnih žarkih. Drevesa v gozdu uživajo v radosti, ki
jo prenašajo zvoki vseh velikih in malih stvari, ki živijo v njihovem
kraljestvu. ... read more
