Roger @rogercmcd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026It is hard to find this good article. We are all getting used to what to do online, “Explaining the Unexplainable: The Cultural Context of the Sedition Act,” and a line saying “Including ‘The Cultural Logic of the Sedition Act’”? Or something like that 100
Roger @rogercmcd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026 I don’t recall everything about the alien and sedition act or the context. Just that a contradiction of our experiment is a dilemma: a strong central government (which is important) and the challenge of a representational democracy. I want to learn more. 000
Roger @rogercmcd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026National security - the agency- was created in 1947. Primarily focused on external threats. The Patriot Act of 2002 was central to changing the focus of NSA 2, internal enemies, and now to domestic political enemies. Our rebirth as a free democratic country will take many years. 200

Roger @rogercmcd.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I would say that the ethical thing could do at this point is to not not publish the book until there is a more thorough peer review. It feels like there is a lot of ego involved. 010

Roger @rogercmcd.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Correct! We are not. Nor were the Framers and most signers of our Constitution. Whether most people feel it or not now, we live and have always lived without knowing it most of the time, in uncertainty.  And this means we must always live in a world of contingencies. 000
Roger @rogercmcd.bsky.social · 17/09/2026 Yes they did. And the slaveholders were compensated. By the British, who also helped free many slaves, some of whom went to Nova Scotia and Trinidad 020
Roger @rogercmcd.bsky.social · 17/09/2026In 1814 in our war with Britain, the British burned down the White House. In 1815 - 1817, the American government and taxpayer money paid for the rebuilding of the White House. No one’s name is on the White House. It is the White House. 140

Roger @rogercmcd.bsky.social · 16/09/2026In the spring of 1970, the students and faculty of my university went on strike. For the whole spring. Supported by the university administration. We know face unbridled corruption and fascism with a government derelict in its duty. It will get worse. And we must prepare. 010
