    That Unz article has really shaken me up. --Brant .

    The war between the states was the inevitable outcome of the founding document which sanctioned slavery for the sake of a federal republic. The South knew it was losing that sanction and opted out. Virginia followed South Carolina when Lincoln refused to let SC go after Ft. Sumter. --Brant

    You might ask why Great Britain supported the South and find some of the economic reasons. --Brant

    Okay, back to JE. --Brant leaves the battlefield triumphant

    Good try. --Brant😀

    The war was fought to preserve the Union, not to end slavery. The latter was a mid-war PR add on. --Brant

    That's 5 percent if the American population --Brant

    While on the subject of predators and monsters, Abe Lincoln killed off about 5 percent of the adult male American population in order to preserve the Union with his "Civil War." Just a "statistic." --Brant

    I agree about predators and monsters. I disagree about appropriate precision. That's for bull sessions. --Brant

    All I've read so far is JE had a sexual interest in teenage girls. This is neither pedophilia nor pederasty. Biologically it's normal. Culturally, legally and morally it's wrong because wealth, health and education has freed female adolescents from biology. Imprecise use of language has gobbledygooked this thread. --Brant

    Newton was so smart he could afford his dumbness. --Brant when you're real smart you're dumb for there are so many things leftover to be dumb about like God

    Religionism doesn't cause anything. People cause. --Brant old stuff

    Psychiatrists ruined my aunt, sister and niece. They fuck over many more women than men. --Brant just for the fucking record

    "Consistent application of principles" is 1) reductionism to find them then 2) constructionism to apply them. But "principles" is a plural and principles can collide with each other. Enter, rigorous use of critical thinking. Shall we apply morality and blow up the world or is it more moral not to blow up the world and apply the other in safer times? The primary job of an American President is the physical protection of the United States and its citizens. Since Rand wasn't President she was free to get off on the morality, but not to prescribe and apply policy. Kennedy was free in the context of his duties to go to the ballet. Rand stayed clean and Kennedy got dirty. Politics is a very dirty business. Much dirtier today then way back then. --Brant Trump is dirty
  22. Brant Gaede
    Rand believed in using morality as a weapon and Kennedy was trying to deweaponize the situation that threatened general thermonuclear war (GTW). --Brant

    Trump as a Nazi? Man, some people don't know shit. --Brant

    Science? We don't have no science! We don't have to show you no stinkin' science! --not me

    William is a Russian sleigh ride in one person throwing off "data" hoping the scientific wolves stop and eat. --Brant
