That's good too. I love the Bible. But there's something in the Republic that's very relevant right now. Actually, two things.

  1. Socrates's debate with Thrasymachus. Thrasymachus said "Justice is what the strong decide Justice is." (Dems are doing this. The judges and courts are "the strong" and they say the evidence is bad so they won't take the case, and we should be satisfied with this, somehow. Appeal to authority -- Justice is what the strong say it is.)

Thrasymachus lost this argument to Socrates.

  1. Shadows on the cave. Plato had an early idea of television brainwashing 2500 years ago.
