I typed in "It was a dark and stormy night" and didn't get any reference to Paul Clifford or Washington Irving. I dig the project. I think it's cool. Would love to see it grow.

When you create a website, and it gets users, that's what you want, right? But now your massive number of users become a problem. You need to scale to handle the number of users. Same thing with wealth creation. Too much wealth creatio

What? Doctoral programs pay you through stipends. You shouldn't have to pay for any doctoral program, ever.

Is your country not sharing in the spoils? I'm not saying that offensive wars are moral, but it is in keeping with your duties to the group. And certain offensive wars are for the common defense, usually against neighboring countries o

Not what I'm referring to. I'm referring specifically to those who owned land and bore arms and were referred to as Citizens in Rome. I find both the notions that conscription=slavery and that taxation=theft can only be held by so

Was referring to the Romans. Perhaps I'm exaggerating. My point is that military service is a responsibility, not a chore foisted upon us. If it were, we would be subjects. But we are not subjects, we are citizens.

by yontherubicon 8y ago
All true. And yet still we have to grapple with the reality that our public square is in the private sector.

by yontherubicon 8y ago
Citizenship has historically been defined by military service, in that you are not merely subject to the security apparatus of the state, but a part of it. Because you are a part of it, you have a say in it. It was the removal of the draft

This doesn't work without a universal moral law, an assumption now deprecated in many circles.

Fair enough. I'm guessing. An educated guess I think, with certain predictions made which, if the prove true, would increase the probability of my being right.

Is, not was. Spotify (along with Apple, Facebook, & YouTube) removed Alex Jones content a couple days ago. My speculative guess is that Warner, expecting backlash from Jones' rather rabid fanbase, who would see Spotify's remov

I'm not really certain how to respond to this viewpoint of yours. You seem to be under the impression that such a safe space 1) can exist and 2) would be beneficial. I'm going to simply point out that such a space cannot exist. Pe

I like the nonprofit model that was mentioned towards the end of the article. I think that has more of a future than the midsized regional stuff. However, I think that what's really killing the public press is citizen journalism and vi
