USA as a Semi-Presidential Republic?
Just a note from a non-American observer but wouldn't the US benefit by having a semi-presidential system like France rather than the current system where the President is both head of government, head of state and chief executive officer as well as commander in chief? That's investing a lot of powe...

Re: Canadian Parents Raising "Genderless" Baby
Gender is very much something that has both a biological and social dimension, IMO. The child will probably face some developmental issues down the line if the parents do persist in this....fallacy. But even with the home schooling, at some point Storm will have to interact with social peer groups -...

Selous Scout doctrine and Christian mission work
http://andrewgrant.me/2011/02/03/turned/ Enjoy the article. The writer seems to be drawing comparison from the way the Rhodesian Selous Scouts operated in counter-insurgency warfare and the lessons that could be applied to the way Christian mission would be relevant. Interesting,if somewhat hilario...

Re: How would things change with Sanguinius as the Warmaster
Actually either scenario could result in an overall lessening wouldn't it? If Sanguinus was appointed Warmaster instead of Horus, then Horus would lack the central authority that provided him with so much strategic advantage in organising the Heresy in the first place. He would still probably tempt ...

How would things change with Sanguinius as the Warmaster?
While looking around Lexicanum I came across this quote attributed to Horus, when he was ill over Davin: “Sanguinius. It should have been him. He has the vision and strength to carry us to victory, and the wisdom to rule once victory is won. For all his aloof coolness, he alone has the Emperor's sou...

Re: Ethical Applications of Testing "Brains in a Vat"
Assuming no input and we get lumps of neural tissue as the result of cloning them, would it get past a contemporary ethics board? No human rights are being violated in any sense of the word and it's simply a lump of tissue I would take it. Aside from opposition from theologians and religious groups ...
