On November 25, 1783, the last British troops pulled out of New York City, bringing the American Revolution to an end. Patriots celebrated their departure and the confirmation of U.S. independence. But for tens of thousands of American loyalists, the British evacuation spelled worry, not jubilation. What would happen to them in the new United States? Would they and their families be safe? Facing grave doubts about their futures, some sixty thousand loyalists—one in forty members of the American population—decided to leave their homes and become refugees elsewhere in the British Empire. They sailed for Britain, for Canada, for Jamaica, and for the Bahamas; some ventured as far as Sierra Leone and India. Wherever they went, the voyage out of America was a fresh beginning, and it carried them into a dynamic if uncertain new world.Knopf
A groundbreaking history of the revolutionary era, Liberty’s Exiles tells the story of this remarkable global diaspora. Through painstaking archival research and vivid storytelling, award-winning historian Maya Jasanoff re-creates the journeys of ordinary individuals whose lives were overturned by extraordinary events. She tells of refugees like Elizabeth Johnston, a young mother from Georgia, who spent nearly thirty years as a migrant, searching for a home in Britain, Jamaica, and Canada. And of David George, a black preacher born into slavery, who found freedom and faith in the British Empire, and eventually led his followers to seek a new Jerusalem in Sierra Leone. Mohawk leader Joseph Brant resettled his people under British protection in Ontario, while the adventurer William Augustus Bowles tried to shape a loyalist Creek state in Florida. For all these people and more, it was the British Empire—not the United States—that held the promise of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Yet as they dispersed across the empire, the loyalists also carried things from their former homes, revealing an enduring American influence on the wider British world.
Ambitious, original, and personality-filled, Liberty’s Exiles is at once an intimate narrative history and a provocative new analysis—a book that explores an unknown dimension of America’s founding to illuminate the meanings of liberty itself.

Phantom Fighters
Info:
National Archives and Records Administration - ARC Identifier 2569708 / Local Identifier 111-TV-448 - Phantom Fighters - Department of Defense. Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984). Former secret military force shown for first time on "THE BIG PICTURE" -- "Phantom Fighters" (TV-448) is good strong film entertainment, worthy of the attention of every thoughtful viewer. It is a documentary about the Army's Tenth Special Forces Group in Europe, until recently a secret military force, now shown for the first time on THE BIG PICTURE. The story setting is in the vicinity of Bad Tolz which lies in an alpine valley near the German Swiss border. Resourcefully put together from film made in Germany by the Army Signal Corps, "Phantom Fighters" is a movingly meaningful television documentary about American soldiers trained to organize guerrilla resistance in enemy occupied territories. In a field training exercise, the many and varied skills of the Tenth are put to the test. They include a parachute jump, a mountain climb on skis, destruction of a bridge on the River Ammer, and a race to outdistance the enemy. It's a rugged, exciting life as evidenced on film and no soldier with Tenth Special Forces would have it any other way. Every man is a volunteer qualified to carry out hazardous and adventurous assignments. In no other branch of the United States military services is the standard of physical fitness higher than in Special Forces. Among the groups at Bad Tolz, a man's hand is as deadly a weapon as a rifle or hand grenade. Credit goes to the Tenth Special Forces for having accomplished the difficult task of staging a part of their mission before the motion picture cameras.

Tasty meat comes from the kitchen, not the field
Gene Logsdon, OrganicToBe.org
In time I raised and cured my own hams on a diet including corn, acorns and all the food garbage our family generated. I followed my father-in-law’s instructions to the letter. I made good meat, but not as good as his hams after mother-in-law worked her magic on them in the kitchen.

"You are Unique."
Today in a third grade class, the unit for reading and ELD (the books have parallel content) focused on being unique, and using one's uniqueness to achieve (or be the first to do something). The ELD discussion centered on George Washington Carver, and the lesson was that scientists (and the students) seek to be the first to have original or unique "thoughts" which lead to discoveries. I read that and made a face, and one of the kids saw me. It is wrong on so many levels: (1) the promotion of an exaggerated sense of self-esteem, (2) the shoddy epistemology with its affinity to idealism. True scientific discovery does not happen in vacuo -- it is through being shaped in tradition by good teachers, and it is an increase in what we already know. It is not completely "new," but a reduction of potency to act. (This is something that would be covered in an intro philosophy class by our reading or Plato's dialogues, maybe St. Augustine, and Aristotle's Prior Analytics.)
How serious are these errors, and does it make a difference at what age students are being indoctrinated in them? Someone who objected to these parts of the texts could just skip them over and not tell anyone else that they did. (No one would be keeping track.) By themselves they may not be sufficient reasons for one to swear off the system and avoid a regular teaching job. But there are other problems as well...

Casti Connubii on the Vocation of a Wife and Mother
The encyclical:
(via the Thinking Housewife)
The same false teachers who try to dim the luster of conjugal faith and purity do not scruple to do away with the honorable and trusting obedience which the woman owes to the man. Many of them even go further and assert that such a subjection of one party to the other is unworthy of human dignity, that the rights of husband and wife are equal; wherefore, they boldly proclaim the emancipation of women has been or ought to be effected. This emancipation in their ideas must be threefold, in the ruling of the domestic society, in the administration of family affairs and in the rearing of the children. It must be social, economic, physiological: – physiological, that is to say, the woman is to be freed at her own good pleasure from the burdensome duties properly belonging to a wife as companion and mother (We have already said that this is not an emancipation but a crime); social, inasmuch as the wife being freed from the cares of children and family, should, to the neglect of these, be able to follow her own bent and devote herself to business and even public affairs; finally economic, whereby the woman even without the knowledge and against the wish of her husband may be at liberty to conduct and administer her own affairs, giving her attention chiefly to these rather than to children, husband and family.
This, however, is not the true emancipation of woman, nor that rational and exalted liberty which belongs to the noble office of a Christian woman and wife; it is rather the debasing of the womanly character and the dignity of motherhood, and indeed of the whole family, as a result of which the husband suffers the loss of his wife, the children of their mother, and the home and the whole family of an ever watchful guardian. More than this, this false liberty and unnatural equality with the husband is to the detriment of the woman herself, for if the woman descends from her truly regal throne to which she has been raised within the walls of the home by means of the Gospel, she will soon be reduced to the old state of slavery (if not in appearance, certainly in reality) and become as amongst the pagans the mere instrument of man.

Patrick McKinley Brennan, The Individual Mandate, Sovereignty, and the Ends of Good Government: A Reply to Professor Randy Barnett (pdf) (via MoJ)
At this point, while this deserves a response from a learned proponent of American federalism, I don't really have the drive to type anything... sovereignty may be a problematic notion (if Maritain is correct, but is Bodin's conception of sovereignty the only one that is operative in modern nation-states?); would it be wrong to say that Brennan is one more Catholic who has embraced a Nationalist understanding of the Constitution?
If a Catholic is going to subject the American political system to Natural Law and the science of politics in order to change it, then he would do well to look first at the basics and deal with the question of sustainability, before defending the welfare state as the ideal with respect to the size and scope of the "Federal" government.

A Libertarian's Take on Westerns
His perspective and interpretation of the Western differs from that of paleos like Drs. Fleming and Wilson.
I Watch Westerns by Frank Chodorov
Westerns do in some way represent individualism, with a lone hero taking on the bad guys -- but I do not think this is self-seeking individualism, but the pursuit of justice and the common good. The author's idealization of the lack of the state (and civilization) is apparent. Private enterprise or private justice, without the cover of lawful authority? Even where there is a separate police force, citizens should be vigilant in defending themselves,their families, and their communities -- it's not just a republican ideal, but an ideal for men in general.

War in Sci-Fi Movies
Seeing these photos and watching the trailer for Battle: Lost Angeles again,
The Hollywood depiction of war, especially in science-fiction movies, is very "linear," 1GW. It looks good on the screen maybe, but it's not "realistic." The most blatant example would be the Star Wars prequel trilogy, but other movies include Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds, Independence Day, and Avatar. It's just a confrontation between two forces. It may be easier to portray war in this way to the audience. A force using a lot of maneuvering and bypassing the enemy would seem boring, in comparison, even if it is better warmaking.
(Even showing a realistic flanking maneuver in the 20th century might be difficult?)
In these movies it is presumed that a superior army would confront the weaker army head-on, especially if they are virtually invulnerable (force fields, better armor, etc.). Then with its superior firepower (energy weapons, ballistics) it would just annihilate the weaker force (usually the humans). This it would do instead of using its advantages in conjunction with exploiting the (other) weaknesses of the enemy. It is convenient for the plot that the aliens usually seek to eradicate all human life anyways, so they do not need to demoralize the enemy to induce a surrender. If they're going to wipe out all mankind, they might as well do it when the opportunity presents itself.
On the flip-side of this -- the humans never attempt sophisticated counters to the technologically superior aliens. (Who may not have superior numbers.) Instead of using guerilla tactics and such, they always charge at the enemy, usually in the open. I would hate to think that this is what the US military would do if we were actually confronted by an alien military force.
An exceptions to this might be District 9, when the PMC's security force tries to take out the alien power suit, but the mercenaries learn how to disable it at a terrible cost. (It is similar to the opening scene of Patlabor 2, when the guerillas hide themselves in the jungle and do not confront the UN military labors in the opening, drawing them into the jungle and then using RPGs and such to destroy the labors.)

An Agrarian vision
This is my farm: From the city to the country and back again (EB)
Sharon Astyk, Casaubon's Book
We may not be able to reverse the tide of urbanization, in the nearer term. We simply don't have enough land to allow every single person on earth an agrarian life on many acres. But how do we keep the link between city and country? It is a link that is important to both parties - the exploitation of farmers who are underpaid and disregarded is only possible when you don't know any farmers, when you don't care what they have to do to make your dinner. And urbanites who have lost touch with natural rhythyms need to get in touch with them, to have access to the best food on a reasonable budget, to have the knowledge to meet their own needs.

Dr. Fleming has this to say about modern weddings:
Weddings, having lost all sacramental or even religious sense, are now commercial occasions. They are a cross between a football gam, complete with program, and a night in Vegas. The clothes that the groom and groomsmen wear belong to a circus and not to any decent social occasion, and, as you note, a marriage that begins with rented clothes is not a marriage planned to last. I refused to wear formal clothes for my own wedding and bought a tuxedo. To not very rich young men who will not need a tuxedo for a long time, I always suggest a decent dark suit.

Fleeces and Jackets
Although winter is almost over, I am still inclined to get a new fleece or jacket, if I can afford it. The grey one that I've had for a while is reliable and I've been able to wear it more often since I've lost some weight. But it would be nice to be able to have some new additions to my wardrobe.
