Bookworm. I love to read and write. Logotheist. Marcus Aurelius is my homeboy.
“One of the strongest natural proofs of the folly of hereditary right in kings, is, that nature disapproves it, otherwise she would not so frequently turn it into ridicule, by giving mankind an ass for a lion.”

There are some Americans who refuse to engage with the complexity of our society. But reality is never simple. We are a great nation that is even greater than the sum of its parts precisely because we are complex. Rejecting our own diversity is as irrational as a leopard hating its own spots.

Women never served in the Roman military.
That makes Bellona, the sister goddess of Mars, so very interesting! The sight of a woman in armor would have been jarring to most people of Roman culture.
The only other Greco-Roman goddess who wore armor I can think of is Athena.

The individualist proclaims, “I owe nothing to anyone but myself.” Yet does the oak tree owe nothing to the soil? Does the river claim it carved its own path without the rain, the stone, the gravity that guides it? No being exists in solitude.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.
