Lisa Williams at learning the lessons of nixon:
[W]hen I start reading stories about the US’s increasing use of mercenaries, I start having this weird feeling that the Middle Ages never ended, and if I could see truly, I’d see the Walmart walls as castle walls, and me, and the lady behind the cash register and everybody else I knew pulling turnips except when they ran off to invade the Holy Land for money and excitement.
I often feel this way. We're not so far removed from feudalism, or the cave.
