"If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Less than 40 percent of ancient Greek vocabulary has a recognizable Indo-European etymology; 8 percent of ancient Greek vocabulary is definitely of non-Greek origin; and the remaining 52 percent of ancient Greek vocabulary has no known etymology.
The modern economist may reject [Adam] Smith’s central notion that capital accumulation in a setting of natural liberty protected by law provides the key to economic development, or even that such development is, in itself, a desirable objective. What the modern economist cannot do, at least consistently, is to propose further interference with natural liberty for the avowed purpose of stimulating capital investment while at the same time continuing to ignore the stifling effects of public sector expansion. As Gordon Tullock has remarked, government should take its foot off the brake before it hits the accelerator. Adam Smith would surely have agreed.--Buchanan
Two rising temperature trends appear in the last 2000 tears: the first peaks about 1200 AD and corresponds with a period known as the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), while the second peaks in 1980 and then shows decline. In between, is the Little Ice Age (LIA), which according to the Northern Hemisphere composite bottomed-out in 1650 AD.

"We're at economic war with China," Mr. Bannon said. "One of us is going to be a hegemon in 25 or 30 years and it's gonna be them if we go down this path.
China's foreign ministry responded by saying that the China-US economic relationship was "mutually beneficial" and there could be "no winner from a trade war". It added: "We hope that people will not use 19th- and 20th-century perspectives and measures to address 21st-century problems."

The gospel of the Canaanite woman: She is a Hellenistic Syro-Phoenician woman, a descendant of the ancient Canaanites, the bitter biblical enemies of Israel whose paganism had often led Israel into idolatry. It is always presented as a victory of faith and how faith can include the gentiles in salvation. But there is more and it is unsettling. The woman is begging for mercy for her sick daughter. "But Jesus did not say a word in answer to her." Christ does not answer her. Then He says, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." He then compares non-Jews to dogs. There is no mercy here and no inclusiveness. He eventually yields to her faith but it is a bitter scene; how can one read it? Is Christ setting the scene so He can reverse it to make His larger point? Is He testing her? Can man make God change His mind?
Hyundai is planning to launch an electric sedan under its high-end Genesis brand in 2021 with a range of 500 km (310 miles) per charge. It will also introduce an electric version of its Kona small sport utility vehicle (SUV) with a range of 390 km in the first half of next year.
In Japan, the number of children has dropped to less than 10% of the population. The government is converting elementary schools into hospices, providing care for the elderly in a country where 40% of the people are 65 or older. In Japan, the world's oldest and most sterile nation, there is a popular expression: "ghost civilization".
Seventy-two years after two torpedoes fired from a Japanese submarine sunk cruiser USS Indianapolis (CA-35), the ship's wreckage was found resting on the seafloor on Saturday -- more than 18,000 feet below the Pacific Ocean's surface. Paul Allen, Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist, led a search team, assisted by historians from the Naval History and Heritage Command in Washington, D.C., to accomplish what past searches had failed to do -- find Indianapolis, considered the last great naval tragedy of World War II.

Maine has given each high school student laptop computers. After a decade and a half, and at a cost of about $12 million annually (around one percent of the state's education budget), Maine has yet to see any measurable increases on statewide standardized test scores.
Somehow the Rube-publicans, the party of Lincoln, have been successfully portrayed as the party of secession and racism and the Democrats of the racist and secessionist South, the party of liberation, unity and tolerance.
Since 1975, the number of practicing physicians older than 65 years in the United States has increased by more than 374%, and in 2015, 23% of practicing physicians were 65 years or older.
During the French Revolution, statues of saints were actually guillotined. Stay tuned.

Parabens are a class of widely used preservatives in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. A recent study has connected them to male infertility.

A Free Speech Rally in Boston fell apart when thousands of counter-protesters showed up and drowned it out. Journalists at the Boston Common, a downtown park, tweeted about an hour into the planned rally that many, if not all, of the attendees left the bandstand where they were due to hear speeches from several prominent conservative figures.
The Free Speech Rally organizers had permits to hold their event from noon to 2 p.m. local time on Saturday. But as of about 1:30 p.m., police on scene were dealing mostly with counter-protesters. The free speech group had left.
And the lesson here is.....?
