This Blog covers my interests in history, law, science and literature. I also record events today so that I will have a record tomorrow of events. In this way, I fight the Orwellian editing of history that is all-too apparent in the information age. If you are not a libertarian conservative, you might ask, why isn’t this blog more positive to your point of view. You might as well ask why George Orwell's 1984 wasn't more positive to your point of view.
"There will always be a party for giving more to the rulers, that the rulers may be able in return to give more to them."
Franklin, Dangers of a Settled Bureaucracy (1787)That comes from Ward Farnsworth's excellent "Farnsworth's Classic English Rhetoric" who offers Franklin's quote as an example of a "chiasmus."
