“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

September 11th, 2001. Quite literally the day that the world, as we knew it, ended. Think of where you were on that day. Every single one of you older than the age of about, oh, 8, will remember perfectly. If I ask you what you thought on that day, 19 years ago, you...
In his dialogue “De re publica,” Marcus Tullius Cicero explained, through the fictionalized voice of Scipio Africanus, that there are three basic types of government. The first is the monarchy, in which the king rules. The second is the aristocracy, in...

The latest podcast is up, in which I talk about how immigration inevitably leads to war, and why and how this applies to the current state of affairs in the USA. As always, here is the embedded podcast: Head on over to Superb Shaving to buy some good old-fashioned...
