Mimetics, mimicking, is the study of imitation. But, it is also so much more.

David Gornoski discusses René Girard’s mimetics theory with me as we discuss how ancient man’s basic practices to survive apply to life today. On the way, we find parallels to the state, religion, and the Divine.

Oregon seeks to revive temperance with a tax on beer, cider, and wine

With all the foolishness that comes from being elected a representative for a state, two such representatives have proposed a massive tax in Oregon on beer, cider, and wine.

The history is plain but old. Prohibition and the ideas behind it are just memories, perhaps, and seem to serve no reminder of how governments fail more than they succeed.
