What a very interesting post you've made. How I wish you could have gotten in sooner.

This subject is roiling beneath the surface of so many of the other subjects that pop up around here; the relationship between our transformation from a Republic--which is a masculine form of government--into an empire--which is always effeminate; the ways republics make wars as opposed to Empires; the war between the sexes that has been sponsored by the very people who are whipping up blood lust today. (Gender feminists, as we all know, are the geisha girls of plutocratic capitalism.)

Oh, it's a rich, rich vein to mine. Maybe too rich....

A republic is traditionally considered to be the system dominated by virtue, as opposed to raw force or a prickly mideaval sense of honor. Vitue comes from the Latin word meaning manly.
