    —“At a London dinner party soon after Adolf Hitler had taken power in Berlin, one of the guests asked aloud, “By the way, where was Hitler born?” “At Versailles” was the instant reply of Lady Astor.”— Jeff Odgis

    Anglos are fools, and french are evil. And now the germans are stupid.

    The total population of the european aristocracy at any given time was probably under 1/4M. And possibly under 20K. Their principle function was the domestication of the animal man – from which they, and the animals, profited.

    WE HAVE NO COMMON COUNTRY ANY LONGER – Clarence Thomas

    Justice Clarence Thomas stated that he doesn’t know what Americans can say they have in common as a country.

    Host Laura Ingraham asked Thomas, “Are you surprised that — how things are still so rancorous in the United States today about foundational issues? Not about — just foundational issues, the anthem and so forth?”

    He answered, “No, I’m not surprised. I mean, what binds us? What do we all have in common anymore? I think we have to think about that. I think this is — when I was a kid, even as we had laws that held us apart, there were things that we held dear and that we all had in common. And I think we have to — we always talk about E pluribus unum. What’s our unum now? We have the pluribus. What’s the unum? And I think it’s a great country. I think we, for whatever reasons, have made it our — some people have decided that the Constitution isn’t worth defending, that history isn’t worth defending, that the culture and principles aren’t worth defending. And, certainly, if you are in my position, they have to be worth defending. That’s what keeps you going. That’s what energizes you. … I don’t know what it is that we have, we can say instinctively, we have as a country in common.”

    Asked about by his judicial philosophy, Thomas, widely viewed as a conservative and a strict constructionist, said it is quite simple. “I think it’s ‘Get it right,’” said Thomas. “I think we have to be careful not to take outcomes that we want and backwash that into the process of decision-making. So you don’t reach a decision and then force the process. You use the process … You don’t justify the outcome, you reason to the outcome.”

    Thomas said he defends the Constitution.”Some people have decided that the Constitution isn’t worth defending, that history isn’t worth defending,” he said. “Certainly, if you’re in my position, they have to be worth defending.”

  • Locke(english) Vs Kant(german)

    by Daniel Gurpide See the contrast between Locke’s and Kant’s modern approaches to the education of children (a long term strategic project). On the themes of:

    • 1/ MOTIVATION: education as DUTY (Kant) versus education as delight (Locke).
    • 2/ DISCIPLINE: education for OBEDIENCE (K) versus education for liberty (L).
    • 3/ CHARACTER: education via IMPOSED discipline (K) versus education by setting an INSPIRED example (L).

    Obedience is the fundamental for Kant, connecting all the way back to overcoming the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden: disobedience. Duty is primary, we should do things because we are supposed to, not because we want to: that is the key life lesson. Of course, kids will be kids and so often disobedient. Every transgression in a child is a want of obedience, and this brings punishment with it: school as a place that quenches any joy you might have.
