There was a lot more in that article than promoting the raw pragmatism and ethics of Machiavelli. I read some of his stuff way back in college, and came to the conclusion way back then that his ethical framework wasn’t one I would promote. The balance of the article was that integrity wasn’t a...

Why do you assume Stalin wasn’t restrained? Or that God’s purposes in judgment weren’t accomplished?

They will pump, you up!

Whelp, they’ve spoken, and put their faith in a Mormon.
