Social Science

   Politics and government, history and economics, language and culture are all aspects of the same story.
   If economics is the study of what people do with what they have, history is the study of what people did with what they had available to them in the past.
   Politics deals with who's in charge of government.
   Government deals with how those in charge serve and protect the rights of the people.
   In another sense, politics is about getting elected, and government is about getting something done. Too often, the two have little to do with each other. Currently in America, we are seeing the exercise of politics having the upper hand. It's not about getting anything done by your own party, but preventing the other guy from getting anything done. Hence the use of the phrase, "the party of No." Whatever the Democrats propose, the Republicans are against it. That phenomenon is not new, but it has reached a new low these days.

   This summarizes the guiding principle of Editor's Revenge. For the academia nuts, each topic -- politics, government, history, economics, language, culture, sociology, anthropology and other fields -- are to be studied separately. From this editor's viewpoint, they are all part of the same story: What people do for and to and with each other.
    We seek not to demand agreement, but to provoke thought. And if, after thinking over your disagreements with comments made here, you still disagree, that's good, because you have thought about your opinions. Hence the motto under the title: Belief without thought endangers freedom.
