New Perspectives on Late Antiquity in the Eastern Roman Empire
Faith and Heritage
For each nation has different customs and divergent laws and institutions, and should consolidate those things that are proper to it, and should form and develop out of the same nation the associations for the fusion of its life. For just as each animal mates with its own tribe, so it is right that each nation should marry and cohabit not with those of other race and tongue but of the same tribe and speech. For hence arise naturally harmony of thought and intercourse among one another and friendly converse and living together; but alien customs and divergent laws are likely on the contrary to engender enmities and quarrels and hatreds and broils, which tend to beget not friendship and association but spite and division.

What is it to be a saint?
The pursuit of sainthood is not pretending to be someone one isn’t, but struggling to be the one he or she is called to be! #myOCNhttp://myocn.net/what-is-a-saint-2/

A Good Laugh
I just saw the battle station in the background of the poster; the same weapon of mass destruction again? Is the Alliance going to destroy it using a different way this time?
The Star Wars fanboys may geek out over the trailer, but I found it laughable. I have no reason to think JJ Abrams has redeemed himself, and if this is the big end-of-the-year cultural event, then... Borrowing from the soundtrack for The Empire Strikes Back? I really doubt episode 7 is as good.
This writer is probably wrong; even if the trailer is being used to market the movie to a different audience, the fanboys will watch it over and over and over again. And how many football viewers don't know anything about Star Wars?

Equity Feminism Was Never Enough
For some, even in the first generation of American feminists. Second-wave feminism didn't start off as a good movement which was then hijacked by the sexual revolution. "Equal opportunity" implies gender equality; if the sexes are unequal, you can't complain about unequal "treatment" or oppotunity. Secondly, because the sexes are unequal, their responsibilities to others are also unequal, and these differences are also taken into account in the political economy. It seems to me that it is liberalism (and its child feminism) which assumes that the (self-defined, autonomous) individual is all that matters for one's personal identity. Any natural (and even voluntary) social identity is irrelevant for moral and political considerations.
This sort of feminism-friendly social conservatism needs to go.

Contraception and abortion were not originally part of the 1960s women’s movement. How did the women’s movement, which fought for equal opportunity for women in education and the workplace, and the sexual revolution, which reduced women to ambitious sex objects, become so united?
