Felicity Allen, Jefferson Davis, Unconquerable Heart

Both Dr. Fleming and Dr. Wilson recommend Felicity Allen's biography of Jefferson Davis (Google Books). Dr. Wilson also writes:

Should you want to go further, there is Hudson Strode’s biography and the memoir by Varina Howell (Mrs. Jefferson) Davis. Other treatments are not entirely bad but less satisfactory. I challenge anyone to read our President’s farewell to the Senate in 1861 and his first and second inaugural addreses, lay them beside Lincoln’s duplicitous folderol, and not see who was the better man.

His first inaugural address. Second inaugural address. Farewell to the U.S. Senate, January 21, 1861.

BSG's "anthropology"

*spoiler warning*

John (Cavil) complains that his knowledge is limited by his human body, and that as a machine, he is entitled to have a more complete and better knowledge of the universe. But what he describes is not angelic knowledge; rather it is a greater perception of accidents--being able to see more of the EM spectrum, to smell dark matter, and so on. Not the knowledge of essences.

In her defense and defense of the others of the Final Five, Ellen tells Sharon Valeri that there is no need for remorse or blame. She explains to Boomer what they had given to the 8 models: "We didn't limit you. We gave you something wonderful: free will. The ability to think creatively, to reach out to others with compassion, to love."

Sharon responds: "Love? Who? Humans? Why would I want to do that? Who would I want to love?"

So machines can have intellectual knowledge, but not intellectual appetite? We shouldn't be surprised that the materialistic assumptions of BSG run counter to reality...

Madness or paranoia? Or are the powers that be predicting something serious will happen based on the information that they have? The recent entries at the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel have been deleted. I tend to distrust conspiracy theories that have been made public--I figure if elites are conspiring they are able to do so without revealing too much. It's probably too late for many states to put up any sort of armed resistance to the National Government doing what it wants to do, if a series of disasters cripples the country.

Russell Arben Fox, British Conservatives are Better (via Daniel Larison)

In the United States, thoroughly Lockean country that it is, any such conservative theory is going to have a very difficult time finding some way of thinking that will allow it to address liberalism and modernity on a conceptually equal level; without that, all you have is a pleasantly angry dissidence (or, again, an outright or at least quasi-religious faith in a remnant out there).

Does the South not have as its resource the Southern political tradition? If only it would return vigorously to it, in its selection of legislators.

Hrmm... there are plenty of guys who pass the "Orthodoxy" test at CatholicMatch.com--why aren't more of them making matches through the website? And in this area, does one sex have a numerical (dis-)advantage when compared to the other?
