Rereading the Iliad, I A, B, C (updated 05/19)
In fact, we do have a lot to learn about ourselves from studying Homeric man. Homer’s heroes are extraordinary men, but they are not the etherial saints of ethical philosophers since Kant. ”To know the will as an ethical factor” is a gift reserved for few mortal men in any era, but ordinary people, even when they do not possess these abstract concepts, are capable of sitting on juries and pronouncing on questions of guilt and innocence.

Pro-Aborts on the Armageddon Path
Pro-aborts are exulting in last week’s victory in putting one of their own baby killers on the Supreme Court of Wisconsin
Chronicle of Wasted Time: Judge Thomas in a Teapot
I don’t see why people are making a fuss about Justice Thomas. If he has improperly received gifts from people of influence, give him the Abe Fortas treatment. If his acceptance of such gifts was legal and ethical, let us quickly move to dismiss the charges.
Trump Prosecution Is Political Persecution
Now that former President Trump has been indicted and will become a prisoner, however briefly, in America’s vast Gulag Archipelago of hellhole concentration camps – such as those in which some of the Jan. 6 protestors still languish – what next?
