Google is honoring Nettie Stevens today; did she ever get married and have children? Her wiki entry makes no mention of either. Did her mother die of breast cancer? Did her not having children contribute to her getting breast cancer? A New Englander - a Yankee? Did she displace a man from scientific research? Did she ever attempt to assume authority over men? How much of a ideological feminist was she?
Nettie Stevens discovered XY sex chromosomes. She didn't get credit because she had two X’s.

The National Guard: not the militia of the free states assumed by the Founding Fathers. Maybe the filmmakers were well-meaning, but this is propaganda for the National Government as well if the use of the National Guard for imperial wars is depicted as being legitimate.

A Third Way?
While Grass Valley and Nevada City may be full of white people, what is the local culture like? More hippie than traditional? Maybe the state of Jefferson would be composed of a myriad of alternative cultures to Californian neo-Yankee mass culture, but I'd probably rather live in a traditional area than one populated by aging liberal hippies, who have in part created that neo-Yankee mass culture. How much time would it take to find out what towns are more traditional?
I could move to another state, but that isn't very likely; I'd fit in more in one that has a bit of diversity (e.g. Texas) than one that doesn't, even if the latter is more preferable with respect to tradition.
As for faith, some Orthodox chuches are more traditional, more patriarchical than others. The Greeks seem to be rather liberal in that regard. ROCOR might be on the other end of the spectrum. But the pretensions of the Orthodox patriarchs are grating; can't say that the pretensions of the papal maximalists are any better. Is there an alternative? The Assyrian Church of the East, perhaps? How are they dealing with feminism?

Why do we need a remake of a '70s movie about gang warfare?
Which is rather cheesy, even if it too is a cult favorite? In many cities we have the real thing, and the situation may get worse if the economy is manifestly in the toilet and balkanization accelerates. How many multi-ethnic gangs really exist (as opposed to loose alliances between divese monoethnic gangs)? A fantasy from the '70s in the wake of the Civil Rights Era?

What Would Benedict XV Say?
Does it matter?
Can the pope avoid making such vague or general statements if he cannot give a sustained critique based on natural law? At the root of it, a failure to understand what is required by the "common good"?

What's a Patriot to Do?
I was thinking about Born on the Fourth of July. I did not react well to the depiction of Ron Kovic (played by Tom Cruise) the first few times of watching the movie. His suffering seemed to be expressed as self-indulgent whining. As I've gotten older, I've come to sympathize with him a bit more; he lost much after being duped into imperialism, not patriotism, and his loss was sufficient to provoke a crisis of faith (he seems to have rejected his Catholicism) as a part of existential crisis. Did he ever return to the Catholic faith? Does he offer a solution to war that is not statist? If it is not statist, is it more like an alternative (or false) religion or spirituality with a utopian vision of humanity?

If patriotism requires localism and a true community, then violence may be needed to protect the community -- are more wars likely if the number of self-ruling communities is increased? Even if that were the case, would these wars reach the scale of war-making attained by the industrialized nation-states of the 20th century?

CWR: 10 Things You Should Know about Catholics and the American Founding by Bradley J. Birzer
In celebrating the 240th anniversary of American independence and the ratification of the Declaration of Independence, it’s worth remembering the role that Catholics and Catholicism played in 1776.

10. Finally, though many Catholics immigrated to America prior to 1846, they never did so in considerable numbers. Even when they migrated in fairly sizable groups they could not compete with the native Protestant population. Everywhere they lived they formed, at best, an interesting minority. All of this changed in the mid-1840s when famine and Revolution drove Irish and Germans (both Catholic and Lutheran) in huge numbers to the United States. Many of these Catholic immigrants were understandably poor, and the old English animosities against the Irish rose with ferocity. Many in the public sphere began to talk openly about a “papal takeover,” and even the level-headed of American society feared some kind of Vatican conspiracy to destroy the American republic from within and by her own laws and tolerance. Catholic immigration to the United States remained steady until the 1870s when huge numbers of Southern Europeans, Jews, and eastern Mediterraneans migrated across the Atlantic. In large part, the American Progressive movement arose as a way to halt the further Catholicizing and Hebrewization (my made-up word) of America, desiring to “yank the hyphen out of hyphenated Americans.”
