Maybe Multiculturalism Isn't so Bad?

The Satanic Temple has decided to place a diorama of the fall of Satan in the Florida Capitol. While certainly making a bold move in the battle for religious liberty that will cause religious folks like me to scurry away in terror, their glorious masterstroke has one flaw.

By it's nature, all dialectic is pared away, leaving raw tribalist rhetoric, which is, realistically, the best you can expect people to offer on any discussion of public import. Some may admire Laconic wit, but after considering that its originators built their society around child abuse, one should foster in themselves a healthy distrust for the Lakedaimonians.

Breaking the Silence

If you follow this blog, you might be wondering why I've been so silent lately. The recent elections and the even more recent amnesty would seem to be fertile ground for comment, given what I've written on prior to this. What could be compelling my silence? It's certainly not that I've gained the humility to shut up, not by a long shot...
