Traditionalist and Catholic Worship of Authority
Old habits die hard? Even now there is resistance to the novel teachings of lawful resistance, regicide and other acts against an illegitimate temporal power. I don't expect the Church to ever denounce the modern nation-state as being illegitimate in itself, much less sanction violent means to secure and protect the common good of a community from usurpers.
Over at the Orthosphere: Democracy, authority, and the moral order.
How does the temporal order enact divine justice? How does God's mercy harmonize with His justice? Over the weekend I glanced briefly at an Orthodox writer's discussion of the two. While justice cannot be sufficient, as there must be charity which motivates and directs, is "human" justice a concession to a fallen world? Or is there something more "postive" to its being necessary?

When was the last time I went to Togo's? 2012? Prices have gone up and the quantity of meat has gone down? Still a better choice than Subway? What sorts of additives/chemicals are present in the ingredients used by Togo's? No Jimmy John's around here. Any other gourmet sandwich chains? There's a local one, Ike's Lair, but I wasn't impressed by the sandwiches. I could make a better sandwich, though cold cuts and bread are not healthy, from a paleo/whole foods perspective.

Can suburbia be saved in California?
Given that we will have a severe drought this year, what sort of impact will water restrictions have on those people who have gardens and rely upon them for a substantial amount of their food? The question of whether suburbia can be salvaged in a post-peak oil age has been answered by various people - have those who claim it can be looked at the question of water? Without taking Divine Providence into account, What is the carrying capacity of California if these drought conditions are the norm for several decades or more? Are there too many people living in the Bay Area for it to be sustainable?
Would state/federal assistance and subsidies be given to all farmers and gardeners equally? Or would Industrial Ag be the main beneficiary, because the national welfare is at steak. (California produces much of the food that the rest of the country eats, after all.) What would be the response of state and local governments if more people had to resort to gardening in order to survive? (Though it is probably more likely that the on-going exodus from California would increase in size first.)

Dinner tonight was prepared by the Ethiopian members of the old cathedral parish - last (and only) time I had Ethiopian food was in Boston with the New Scot and his friend M. The food today was quite good though I wouldn't say it was paleo-friendly. Too much orange juice today, too.
Was asleep for much of the symposium and tonight's vigil as I got only 3 hours of sleep last night. No good. Curious as to what next year's topic will be.
