October 21
October 21, 1555: Finding that the recent martyrdom of bishops Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer had intensified Protestant zeal, Queen Mary launches a series of fierce persecutions in which more than 200 men, women, and children were killed (see issue 48: Thomas Cranmer).
October 21, 1663: Virginia colonist John Harlow is fined 50 pounds of tobacco for missing church.
October 21, 1970: John T. Scopes, the Tennessee teacher convicted for teaching evolution, dies [AND GOES TO HELL!!!] at age 70 (see issue 55: The Monkey Trial and the Rise of Fundamentalism).

AmeriKa’s War, British View
Jew York Times -
The mysteries pile up, central among them how the overmatched Confederate Army managed to fight so well for so long. (One Confederate soldier, asked by his Onion captors why he was fighting, replied, “Because you are here.” Mr. Keegan observes, “It was, and remains, as good an answer as any.”)
…

Mr. Keegan is opinionated, and a few of his opinions will be fighting words for some. Sherman’s march is likened to Hitler’s campaigns in Eastern Europe. He writes sensitively of the experience of black soldiers during the war, but observes, “Faced by the ferocity of their Southern antagonists on the battlefield, they simply could not stand up to combat as White soldiers did.”

He writes about Southern women as if he is commenting on the Westminster dog show: “Southern women are a distinctive breed even today, admired for their femininity and outward-going personality.”

Religious Illiteracy: Some Students Think Sodom, Gomorrah Were A Couple          aboms.com
Half of American high-school seniors surveyed recently thought Sodom and Gomorrah were a married couple. A McGill University professor’s reference to the patience of Job drew blank stares from students in his religion course. An art history teacher in France found children were mystified by the “strange bird” (a dove representing the Holy Ghost) common in Renaissance paintings. Until recently, such confusion was little more than fodder for faculty-room jokes, evidence of the increasing secularism of Western societies. But educators attending a conference at McGill University yesterday heard there is growing recognition in Europe and North America that religious illiteracy creates serious barriers between cultures.

Acts 17 KJV
   24God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
   25Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
   26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
   27That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
   28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

Do not seek a treaty of friendship with them at any time, that you may be strong and eat the good things of the land and leave it to your children as an everlasting inheritance."

Race and Groups:
The Libertarian Blind Spot
John “Birdman” Bryant

John Donne could never have been a libertarian because he believed that “No man is an island,” while libertarians seem to prefer a sort of reverse philosophy which holds that every man is an island. In particular, libertarians are so busy celebrating “the individual” that they give little or no attention to a phenomenon which is at least as important as individuals on the political landscape, namely, groups. It is true, of course, that groups can be regarded as collections of individuals, but it would be foolish to try to discuss politics purely on the basis of the behavior of individuals and without reference to groups, just as it would be foolish to try to describe the operation of a computer purely on the basis of the behavior of individual molecules and without reference to such important molecular groups as chips, wires, cards, and hard disks.

In a way, libertarianism’s greatest success is in dealing with a very important group — government — by pointing out that social happiness is generally proportional to the extent to which the government keeps its nose out of the business of the citizens. But libertarians virtually ignore the political impact of all other groups, and in particular have failed to heed Lord Acton’s injunction that “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” And although I am certainly no fan of the Left, it is clear that the Left has a far better grip on reality than the libertarians with respect to Acton’s observation, since the Left long ago recognized the danger which corporations pose to the body politic.

So what then are the groups on the political landscape which libertarians ignore? They include groups with a financial interest in politics (corporations, labor unions), groups with a racial, ethnic, sexual, or similar interest (blacks, Jews, homosexuals) and those with other specialized interests (gun control, gun rights, anti-censorship, anti-porn, medical freedom, etc). Such groups are not limited to lobbying organizations, but include any type of organization that has political clout.

…

To explain, we begin by noting that the essence of the American political process — at least as it involves legislative activity — is not what the Founders conceived it to be (and what most libertarians seem to think it is), namely, the reflective consideration of what constitutes the greatest good for the greatest number. Instead, the political process may be summarized in one simple phrase: paying off the (few very wealthy) individuals who supply substantial money and the constituencies who supply both substantial money and substantial votes. And who are the constituencies? Very simply, they are the groups which libertarians ignore, and which constitute the major players in the political process. And what is more, such groups are the driving forces behind the types of legislation that libertarians hate: welfare is driven by the black block vote; the largest recipient of foreign aid is Israel, driven by the notoriously-powerful Israeli lobby; laws hindering business are driven by labor unions; dumbed-down federalized education is driven by teachers’ unions; restrictions on alternative medicine are driven by medical organizations and drug manufacturers; affirmative action is driven by large companies seeking to hurt their smaller competition for whom such programs are a greater proportional burden; drug laws are driven by anti-freedom groups and the enforcement bureaucracies, and so on.

…

But this is foolish. A country is not a disconnected bunch of individuals, no matter how much libertarians think they are disconnected from everything except the Internet. It is a group of people who share a language and culture, with the result that their values are similar, and their desire to live together in the same geographic location is considerable. In Sir Walter Scott’s words:

Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said
“This is my own, my native land”?
Whose heart hath ne’er within him burned
As homeward his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand?
If such there be, go mark him well:
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High tho his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;
Despite those titles, power and pelf,
The wretch concentered all in self;
Living, shall forfeit fair renown
And doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored and unsung.
