SDCC: "Thor: Ragnarok" Props Confirm "Planet Hulk" Elements
Film, Comic Books
Okay, that is a terrible title, but I couldn't think of a shorter way of saying what I'm trying to get across. Basically, a common thing is for new female superheroes to show up using the names of older male characters. Sort of how when Hank Pym stopped going by Yellowjacket, Rita DeMara started to use the name (although first as a villain). Here are the top five!
Kate Bishop is a cool character and all, but darnit, Clint Barton is Hawkeye!!
Dawn Granger really filled the boots of Don Hall quite nicely. The Hawk and Dove series by the Kesels was really underrated – it was a fun comic based on two strong characters – well, Dawn was strong at least – strong enough that she could hold up Hank's cro-magnon end of the duo.
Dr. Light
Kimiyo Hoshi could be a great character, but let's face it, she's been available for anyone to use now for about a decade, and her only real notable appearance was to show how tough the old Dr. Light is. Hopefully Dwayne McDuffie will rectify that!
5. Starfire
I like Starfire, but I'd love to see her get a bit of character development in a year that does not begin with 198.
4. Scorpion
Created by Fred Van Lente and Leonard Kirk, Carmilla Black is a great addition to the Marvel Universe. As a superhero operative working for SHIELD, Carmilla has the problem of dealing with the fact that her biological mother is the head scientist for the evil organization, A.I.M., and Carmilla was genetically bred to be the perfect assassin (she is immune to all poisons and can deliver poison herself). So how do you deal with the fact that your mom bred you to be a killer while you want to be a hero? It's a great challenge, and seeing Carmilla deal with that strange relationship while continuing to make a name for herself in the superhero community (while also combining that with her duties as a government operative) has been a lot of fun to watch.
3. Manhunter
Marc Andreyko's Kate Spencer is riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a costume made up out of confiscated superhero and supervillain gear. What I love most about Kate is that she is such a normal person, while pursuing a decidedly ABnormal lifestyle – Andreyko had really produced a multi-faceted character who works well in many different environments.
2. Moonstone
Moonstone is a lot like Kate – well, except sorta evil.
Karla Sofen has powers due to the "moonstone," a powerful gem. How did she get that gem? She used her psychological training to convince the dude who had the gem that he did not want it! How awesome is that?
She's been a bad guy, she's been a bad guy pretending to be a good guy, she'd been a good guy, she's been a bad guy who might be a good guy. She's all over the place, but one thing stays consistent – she remains an intriguing and delightful character to follow!
1. Captain Marvel
Come on, people, who else did you expect me to have here?
That's the top five! Agree? Disagree? Let me know!
is it just me or are all those covers strikingly similar?
Brian, we know you love Monica but….
i really wish artist would use a bit more creativity in designing these female characters using old male names. so many of them look like captain marvel. it is like there was a conspiracy or something….
Hehe…touche, folks!
It's corrected now!
Man, Captain Marvel fell from star to also-ran in a heartbeat, didn't she? I'd hoped she'd become a recurring character in Black Panther, but I guess Marvel felt no need to exceed its company quota for black female characters of one.
Huh. Someone must really like Monica Rambeau.
Have a good day.
John Cage
…And of course the page is corrected between the time I opened the page and the time I got to reading it and posting a smartass reply.
Have a good day.
John Cage
Crazy high placement for the new Scorpion, but she really is a great character.
Hey – can you post what the former-male Starfire looked like? I never knew that Starfire was a knock-off, just that she had knoc…, well, you know.
Definitely nothing wrong with the female Hawkeye. No offense to Barton, but he's not even sexy.
There's a male Starfire?
And it's sadly all-too-obvious why Starfire (or most of the '80s Titans) hasn't received any character development in 20 years. To attempt to make any changes or say anything new about the character would be to commit the unforgivable sin of thinking you could outdo the God of All Titans, Marv Wolfman. (I do not think Wolfman thinks this of himself, but the slavish devotion that so-called professionals have to his run just cripples any chances of a modern Teen Titans book being anything but a dull retread of it.)
The russian hero known as Red Star was originally called Starfire when he met the Teen Titans in the 60's. He was cooler in that one issue of TT than Kory's been in her whole 2435ing career!
I thought K'ory was doing alright in Countdown to Adventure…
Sure she's not playing a big part in Rann/Thanagar Holy War at the moment, but babysitting Buddy's kids in CtA was fun!
I'm the only one who bought Countdown to Adventure… Aren't I?
Brian, it's a bit of a cheat having Starfire on your list. The original Starfire had only appeared in one comic when Kory debuted and I suspect that it was a coincidence rather than a deliberate decision by Marv Wolfman.
I'm STILL completely bemused by your love for Roger Stern's Captain Marvel. She's so blah.
Have they explained why the female Dr.Light keeps calling herself Dr. Light? Does she really want to be named after a serial rapist?
What, no love for the Renee Montoya Question??
Technically, couldn't you also count any of the female Green Lanterns as well?
Who's had one of the most complex arcs in DC over the last decade? Good Question. Due to Rucka's work on "Gotham Central" & "52", Renee Montoya has gone from a generic Gotham cop to a rich, multi-faceted masked hero. She should top this list.
What about Speedy?
and Quasar?
Good point on the Question!
And I bet DnA's Starhawk stays a woman as well…
Don't forget Rucka's "Five Books of Blood" and "Final Crisis: Reveleations" developing the Montoya Question even further…
and "Ms. Sinister". I don't know if she qualifies for a "best", but she's got the name!
Anyone think that Phyla-Vell is a glaring omission? Not only only is she a great character, but she also used two old male codenames, Captain Marvel and Quasar.
No love for Inza Nelson as Dr. Fate? Or Morrison's Shining Knight? Boo.
ooo! Shining Knight! Justine! Forgot that one, she was/is great!
I was sure White Tiger would be on here.
"I'm the only one who bought Countdown to Adventure… Aren't I?"
I bought it too. But…well…I still haven't read past the halfway point…
I'd have tossed in a bid for the all-new Star-Spangled Kid, until she changed it to Stargirl and freed the name up for a new male version…
Brian, it's a bit of a cheat having Starfire on your list. The original Starfire had only appeared in one comic when Kory debuted and I suspect that it was a coincidence rather than a deliberate decision by Marv Wolfman.
Given that Wolfman created both Starfires and was the writer on that one issue where the original Starfire appeared, I think it's pretty safe to say it wasn't a coincidence.
After the orginal Crisis DC went crazy for this concept. There was not only a new, female Dr Light, but also a female Dr Midnite (now dead), Wildcat (now dead) and, my own personal fave, a female Dr Fate- a change that I think could easily be made permanent. Sometimes it seems like giving female characters old male powers and code names was just a failure to come up with imaginative new heroines- although I do have to admit the female elseworlds Creeper character that had a mini a few years ago was not slavishly attached to her male counterpart and was, in the end perhaps, too original. (Dada-esque art theft anyone?) Personally I enjoyed Rene Montoya's character much more before she became the Question as her personal growth has become increasingly bizarre since the transformation. Monica Rambeau was also, I thought, an excellent character with a sucky codename and costume although it's very hard to come up with a worse codename than Ms Marvel.
although it's very hard to come up with a worse codename than Ms Marvel.
Yet somehow Kurt Busiek managed to accomplish that very thing with the name Warbird. Almost an impressive feat actually.
Actually, before Kory of the Titans, there was another female Starfire from DC; she was a sword and sorcery adventurer who had her own title for 8 bi-monthly issues with 3 different writers, around 1976 or 1977.
And during Jerry Ordway's Shazam series, didn't Mary Marvel call herself Capt. Marvel?
"Given that Wolfman created both Starfires and was the writer on that one issue where the original Starfire appeared, I think it's pretty safe to say it wasn't a coincidence."
My apologies Brian, I should have done my homework.
Come on! Captain Marvel? The girl shouldn't have made it into the list at all!
I had no idea there was a female Captain Marvel – then again, Billy Batson is the only Captain Marvel I'll formally recognise.
Manhunter should have won!
I think in regards to Starfire, Wolfman just liked the name and though it was available as noone had used Red Star. Kovar was created by Giordano as plotter alongside Wein and Wolfman, with Bill Draught on art.
Wolfman was only a fill-in writer on Kovar's first appearrance, so although he's credited as one of his creators, the character was more likely to be Giordano's idea as he was the books plotter for some time.
Hey, someone else brought up Quasar!
And I also second the Montoya Question. Who will hopefully get some more play when the Watchmen movie comes out, and people try to track downt he Charleston heroes.
Charlton heroes, and I don't think that'll happen. The people who go and see the Watchmen movie that don't know they're analogues of the Charlton heroes will be the ones who don't read comics, and I really don't think they will afterwards (with maybe the exception of other Moore books).
It's only common knowledge to us geeks, and I really don't think the non-comics geek movie-goers are really going to care
When I was looking through the list all I could think of was Captain Marvel. I was so scared she wouldn't be on here. But there she was at #1!!!!
I can't believe all these comments on here criticising her. What is wrong with these people? Haven't they read any old Stern Avengers?
While it is true that in many ways, the Shazam-guy is the real Captain Marvel, Monica is and always will be the Marvel-Captain Marvel, and all the others who used that name were completely worthless. And I was thrilled to see that she's Captain Marvel again in the new Marvel Divas!!

WHITE OAK, Ala. (AP) - Emergency workers say a Colbert County man was struck by a car and killed when he left his vehicle to try to rescue two kittens he thought he might have hit moments earlier.
Colbert County Coroner Carlton Utley says 55-year-old Michael Arndt was pronounced dead about 7:30 p.m. on a road in the White Oak community.
Arndt lived about a mile away.
Witnesses say Arndt had left his SUV in the road when he went to
retrieve the kittens, and the car that struck him had swerved off the two-lane road to avoid his vehicle.
Arndt operated a service truck for McGriff Tire Co. in Decatur.

This is a replacement for the string factory photo I had posted first. I decided I like this one better! At one time it was the largest musical string factory in the world!
Hello Marilyin, interesting photo, beautiful light! Do you know the name of the string factory? For many years I am a musician and play the guitar in a Rockband, perhaps I used the products of the company already? Greetings, Guenter from Germany
Thanks, Guenter, for your comment. The company made "Black Diamond" and "Bell" strings. Eventually the company was bought by a company that specialized in percussion, and their string production became less important.
Dear Marilyn, i really love your photographs and comments for the history lessons i learn. Thank you for sharing.
Greetings, Inessa
Thanks, Inessa. I enjoy learning when I'm taking photographs and sometimes afterwards, when I try to learn more about them. I'm glad that some others enjoy that, too!

I do not think the railroad is a necessary *evil* - railroads do some things much more efficiently and reliably than any other technology available today. It may not be the sexy thing anymore but railroads are vital.
Now, Microsoft is currently not seen as sexy, but there are things that they are doing well. Windows Phone is actually a nice product. It does not have the installed base or app selection or public mindset but from a usability standpoint, I would pick Windows Phone over Android any day (and especially if I had to pick one of those two for my wife or my mother).
The *buzz* is not with Microsoft right now but I think that may change - but even as such, I would not count Microsoft out. There is a lot of interesting and advanced technology in Microsoft R&D - it will just be a matter of delivering to the market things that the market gets excited about. That is not easy when you don't have automatic buzz about your products and your competitors (Apple) gets front page news coverage about rumors about future unannounced products.
I would disagree. You can easily find some nice phones for reasonable price. The Grados were always highly rated (and considered under-priced) with the 60s available for just around the $50 price limit (over $50 but not by much)
And, if you want an enclosed set, the Monoprice 8323 are hard to beat and would beat most other enclosed phones in the under $200 price range and they are under $25.
However, if you really want the best, yes, they cost - but "decent" is available, just not from consumer brands like Sony.

An Auckland Conservative Party candidate and his family were
feeling shaken after an arson attack outside their house on
Saturday evening.
Neighbours noticed the campaign trailer of Conservative Party
New Lynn Candidate Steve Taylor had been set alight outside
his family's home.
The trailer was attached to Mr Taylor's car and parked
outside the front of his house.
"The first we knew of the fire was when our neighbours banged
on our door, and the fire trucks started showing up," Mr
Taylor said.
"My wife and daughter were quite upset, and I have to now and
try and explain to a 6-year-old little girl why someone would
want to put our family at risk in such a way.
"The level of vandalism in this election has steadily been
increasing, however this act is at a whole new and
frightening level, an act of wilful destruction of personal
property, and one that carried enormous potential risk to me
and my family."
The fire was contained before it reached the car and house.
"Anonymous cowards with a political axe to grind should have
the courage to front up in the public square, not go around
setting fires at the homes of candidates," Mr Taylor said.

Linuxpark to become Cebit Open Source 2009
The Linux park organizers are working on a new concept for the year 2009. This will see the full integration of the successful special event with CeBIT topics. The new name, Cebit Open Source, speaks volumes.
This year's CeBIT saw the eighth Linuxpark, a long-standing tradition in such a fast-moving industry. Linuxpark has long ceased being the niche event it started life as at its first appearance at the fair: so much so that the fair is moving in the direction of Open Source.
Starting at CeBIT 2009, Open Source main track at CeBIT with a far bigger stage. In cooperation with Linux New Media AG and leading industrial associations, the CeBIT organizers are working on a new concept which will present Open Source in a more complete and exciting way.
"The rapid development of the topic in the past few years has made it quite clear how important it is to take Open Source into consideration in overall CeBIT planning. Open Source and Linux technologies already have a major influence on developments in the IT world. Open Source is a permanent feature of the IT landscape and CeBIT wouldn't be complete without it." said Rosemarie Schuster, from the Linux New Media executive board.

Obesity Linked to Many Cancer Cases in U.S.
Nov. 5, 2009 -- As many as 100,000 cases of cancer could be prevented in the U.S. each year if Americans get rid of their excess body fat.
That's according to estimates released by the American Institute for Cancer Research. The estimates suggest that heart disease, diabetes, and joint problems aren't the only illnesses in which rampant obesity is causing havoc.
The group says overweight and obesity could be the cause of more than 6% of all the estimated 1.6 million cancer cases diagnosed in the U.S. each year.
A 2007 report from the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Foundation reviewed hundreds of studies and found what researchers called "convincing evidence" that obesity was tied to several cancers. Those included cancer of the esophagus, pancreas, and kidneys. It also included colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer (a form of uterine cancer).
Researchers also said it was "probable" that excess abdominal fat was a cause of breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
Experts took estimates of obesity's influence on cancer and applied them to a breakdown of the approximately 1.6 million U.S. cancer cases per year.
The researchers estimate that excess body fat is the cause of 33,000 breast cancer cases each year, nearly one-sixth the total cases in postmenopausal women. Obesity could be to blame for nearly 21,000 cases of endometrial cancer and more than 13,000 cases of colorectal cancer per year.
Researchers stressed that the figures are only estimates, and that individual cancer cases can have many, inter-connected causes.
"We believe these estimates are as good as it is possible to achieve, given the available data," says Tim Byers, MD, PhD, interim director of the University of Colorado Cancer Center and a co-author of the report.
Cancer is more often blamed on influences like smoking and other toxic exposures than it is blamed on obesity. Smoking does cause many more malignancies than excess body fat.
But Larry Kolonel, MD, PhD, deputy director of the Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, says there are strong reasons to believe that excess fat can give rise to cancer. Fat cells produce estrogen, which are now known to be a factor in breast cancer and endometrial cancer. Fatty tissue also affects the way the body metabolizes insulin, which can alter how sugar is processed and how it ultimately gets to cells.

"A remarkable book."—Kenneth Minogue, Times Literary Supplement
Kenneth Minogue
In 1989, the Cold War abruptly ended and it seemed as if the world was at last safe for democracy. But a spirit of uneasiness, discontent, and world-weariness soon arose and has persisted in Europe, in America, and elsewhere for two decades.

In 1989, the Cold War abruptly ended and it seemed as if the world was at last safe for democracy. But a spirit of uneasiness, discontent, and world-weariness soon arose and has persisted in Europe, in America, and elsewhere for two decades. To discern the meaning of this malaise we must investigate the nature of liberal democracy, says the author of this provocative book, and he undertakes to do so through a detailed investigation of the thinking of Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Tocqueville.
Paul A. Rahe argues that these political thinkers anticipated the modern liberal republic's propensity to drift in the direction of "soft despotism"—a condition that arises within a democracy when paternalistic state power expands and gradually undermines the spirit of self-government. Such an eventuality, feared by Tocqueville in the nineteenth century, has now become a reality throughout the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. So Rahe asserts, and he explains what must be done to reverse this unfortunate trend.

Carrese, Journal of the Review of Politics
Rahe (history & political science, Hillsdale Coll.; Republics Ancient and Modern) has actually written two books in one: the first three quarters are a detailed reading of the great 18th- and 19th-century political and social theorists Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Tocqueville on the nature of government, the glue that holds the polity together, and the difficulty maintaining political virtue and, with it, individual freedom, in a democratic republic. The threat to liberty and civic virtue, as Tocqueville saw it, lay in the elimination of intermediate bodies (like townships) that directly involved citizens in governing. Without such intermediate bodies, democracy would drift into soft despotism, with a central government regulating the smallest details of the citizen's life. This part of the book is tightly reasoned, relying on a thoughtful reading of texts that still have great merit for our own age. The final section of the book is an impassioned, occasionally intemperate, but largely successful attempt to describe the malaise gripping democratic governments today, combined with a plea to limit government's intrusion into our lives. (The author quite evidently holds libertarian views.) Many scholars and serious readers will find this essential reading.

We see next to nothing pertaining to justice & injustice that does not change in quality with a change in climate. Three degrees of Latitude overthrows all jurisprudence. A Meridian decides the truth; with a few years of possession the fundamental laws change. Right has its epochs. It is a ridiculous justice that has a river or a Mountain as its boundary. Truth on this side of the Pyrenees, error on that. -Blaise Pascal
The first eight books of the work that Montesquieu entitled De l'Esprit des lois have one distinctive feature. It was there-after a brief introduction dealing with the problematic character of man's place in the universe and with the foundations of man-made law (EL 1.1.1-3)-that the French philosophe first introduced his novel typology of political forms. His stated purpose for doing so was to trace the esprit-the spirit, the mindset, the motive, the impetus, the purpose, the intention, the object, as well as the logic-behind the "infinite diversity of laws & mores" which are to be found in the larger world: his aim thereby was torefute skeptics and cynics inclined to agree with Blaise Pascal, and to demonstrate to the satisfaction of all that there is a method to this apparent madness and that human beings "are not conducted solely [uniquement] by their fantasies" when they opt against "uniformity" and do not in every time and place adopt the same weights, the same measures, the same laws, and the same religion (Préf., 6.19.18).
To this end, at the beginning of the second book of this great work, Montesquieu distinguishes, with regard to "nature," three species of government-republics, in which "the people as a body, or only a part of the people, hold the sovereign power"; monarchies, in which "one governs alone, but by laws fixed & established"; and despotisms, in which "one alone, without law & without regulation [règle], draws everything in train by his will & by his caprices" (1.2.1). As Montesquieu's argument unfolds in the course of that book (1.2.2-3), he complicates this assertion by further differentiating aristocratic republics, in which a part of the people hold the sovereignty, from democratic republics, in which the people hold the sovereignty themselves.
The typology deployed by Montesquieu is peculiar in two regards. On the one hand, it abstracts from questions of moral character. Where Xenophon, Plato, Aristotle, Polybius, and their medieval and Renaissance admirers had distinguished kingship from tyranny, aristocracy from oligarchy, and well-ordered popular government from the regime variously called democracy, anarchy, or mob rule and had done so chiefly with an eye to the character of the ruling individual or group, Montesquieu insists that "the form of the constitution" is alone determinative; and when discussing one-man rule, he therefore treats as "accidental" matters such as "the virtues or vices of the prince" and as "external" questions such as "usurpation" and "the succession" (2.11.9).
At the same time, however, that Montesquieu jettisoned the contrast between aristocracy and oligarchy and that between well-ordered and ill-ordered popular government, he reasserted that between well-ordered one-man rule and tyranny. He had long been sensitive to the fact that, with regard to their subjects, European monarchs exercised a species of self-restraint unknown in the Orient (LP 99-100/102-3), and he soon came to recognize that this was rooted in the fact that they did not themselves exercise the judicial power (CR 16.37-47). In consequence, where Thomas Hobbes had explicitly rejected regime distinctions of the sort espoused by the ancients as not just illusory but dangerous in the extreme, Montesquieu insisted on restoring in the case of monarchy alone something like the classical understanding. But where the ancients and their medieval and Renaissance admirers had juxtaposed the lawful rule of an individual over willing subjects in the interest of those ruled with the lawless rule of an individual over unwilling subjects solely in the interest of the ruler himself, Montesquieu abandoned the focus on interest and consent while reemphasizing the rule of law. If he ultimately eschewed political moralism, he was nonetheless a constitutionalist of sorts; and although he appears at one stage to have been inclined to criticize Machiavelli for confusing despotism and monarchy, in the end, it was from the Florentine, who teaches that one should attend solely to "the effectual truth of the matter," that he took his cue. As he saw it, monarchical government is distinguished from despotism solely by the presence of corporate bodies (corps) possessing the privilege of self-government, which is to say, by "the prerogatives of the lords, the clergy, the nobility, & the towns"-above all, by the prerogatives accorded the "powers intermediary, subordinate, & dependent" which cause the monarch to "govern by the fundamental laws." There is, he contends, a sense in which "the nobility" with its esprit de corps "enters ... into the essence of monarchy," for the "fundamental maxim" of this form of government is: "no monarch, no nobility; no nobility, no monarch." Where there is one-man rule in the absence of such a nobility, "one has a despot" on one's hands (EL 1.2.4).
In the third book of his encyclopedic work, Montesquieu puts flesh on these constitutional bones by introducing a "distinction" which he thinks "very important" and which he describes as "the key to an infinity of laws." There is, he suggests, a "difference between the nature of the government & its principle [principe]: its nature is that which makes it such as it is, & its principe, that which makes it act. The one is its particular structure, & the other is the human passions that set it in motion" (1.3.1). The principle of democracy is virtue; that of aristocracy is moderation; that of monarchy is honor; and that of despotism is la crainte or fear (1.3.2-11). If Montesquieu rivals Aristotle as an analyst of political regimes, it is because he attends to the procedure Plato followed in the eighth and ninth books of The Republic and supplements his strictly institutional analysis with an attention to political psychology which gives to his political science a suppleness, a flexibility, a subtlety, and range elsewhere unexcelled in modern times. The bulk of the first eight books of The Spirit of Laws is devoted to a consideration of the manner in which the laws and customs reigning within a polity must be framed with an eye not only to the structure of that polity but to the passions setting it in motion (1.4-8). As Montesquieu explains when he first introduces the notion, the "principle" of a polity has "a supreme influence over the laws," and one can see them "flow from it as from a spring [source]" (1.1.3).
We would therefore expect that, when Montesquieu suddenly and without warning complicates his typology further by introducing yet another species of government, he would not only discuss the structure of that government but take care to specify its principle and examine in detail the consequences that arise there from. After all, in mounting a defense of his Spirit of Laws against the charges laid against it by the faculty of theology at the Sorbonne, Montesquieu would later insist that his account therein of "the principles" distinguishing the various forms of government is "of a fruitfulness [fécondité] so great" that it can justly be said that these principles "give form to my book almost in its entirety." But when the time comes and Montesquieu turns his attention to the question of "political liberty" in the eleventh book of The Spirit of Laws, he has nothing to say concerning the principle animating the new species of government that he describes therein.
His focus is what he terms elsewhere "a republic concealed under the form of a monarchy" (1.5.19, p. 304), and he prefaces its discussion by introducing a category of distinction to which he has hitherto barely alluded (1.4.8): the "object" peculiar to each political community. That "all states have the same object in general, which is to maintain themselves," Montesquieu readily concedes. But he insists as well that "each state has an object that is particular to it."
Aggrandizement was the object of Rome; war, that of Lacedaemon; religion, that of the Jewish laws; commerce, that of Marseilles; public tranquillity, that of the laws of China; the carrying trade [navigation], that of the laws of the Rhodians; natural liberty was the object of public administration [la police] among the savages; in general, the delights of the prince was its object in despotic states; his glory & that of the state, its object in monarchies; the independence of each individual is the object of the laws of Poland, & what results from this is the oppression of all.
"There is also," he then adds, "one nation in the world which has for the direct object of its constitution political liberty," and he promises "to examine the principles [les principes] on which" this constitution "is founded" (2.11.5). This promise he keeps in the very next chapter by launching into an elaborate discussion of the "beautiful system" constituted by the pertinent nation's constitution and laws (2.11.6, especially p. 407). But neither here nor anywhere else does he tell us what is the "principle" and what are "the human passions that set in motion" what turns out to be the government of England.
It is difficult to know what to make of this. It is possible that, when he deals with England's constitutional monarchy in the eleventh book, Montesquieu abandons the mode of analysis that he had made extensive use of when he discussed democracy, aristocracy, monarchy, and despotism in Books Two through Eight. He may, in fact, be implying that it makes no sense to analyze the English polity in terms of "the human passions that set it in motion." But it is equally possible that Montesquieu has deliberately left it to his readers to discover on their own "the principle" exercising "a supreme influence over the laws" of England, which he had himself left unmentioned. At the end of the eleventh book of his magnum opus, Montesquieu remarks that "it is not necessary always to so exhaust a subject that one leaves nothing for the reader to do. The task is not to make him read but to make him think" (2.11.20). To properly explore these two possibilities, we will have to return to the first eight books of The Spirit of Laws and consider Montesquieu's political typology as a whole.
If, as Montesquieu more than once suggests, the English polity really is "a republic" of some sort (1.5.19, p. 304; 1.6.3; 2.12.19), and if, as he clearly implies, its government has a popular cast (1.2.4), it should be set in motion by virtue-the principle that animates democratic republics. This seems, however, not to be the case. To begin with, Montesquieu never attributes political virtue to the English: he touches on the subject only in referring to the brief republican experiment that took place after the execution of Charles I. The "impotent efforts" of the English "to establish among themselves democracy" on this occasion he regards as "a fine spectacle," noting that those "who took part in affairs had no virtue" and that the ambition that fueled their rivalries and gave rise to faction produced so "much of movement" and so "many shocks & jerks" that "the people," unable "to find anywhere" the democracy that "they were seeking," eventually "found repose in the very government that had been proscribed" (1.3.3).
Moreover, Montesquieu nowhere suggests that political liberty is the object pursued by democracies and aristocracies. Indeed, he contends that these republics "are not in their nature free states" (2.11.4). And he warns that it is a mistake to look for liberty "in democracies" where "the people seem pretty much to do what they wish" since to do so would be to "confound the power of the people with the liberty of the people" (2.11.2), for "political liberty does not at all consist in doing what one wants" (2.11.3). It is, in any case, "not to be found except" in what he calls "moderate governments"-and not always there. Political liberty, he observes, "is not present except where there is no abuse of power, & it is an eternal experience that every man who has power is drawn to abuse it; he proceeds until he finds the limits." It is in alluding to the human propensity for the abuse of power that he pointedly adds: "Who would say it! Even virtue has a need for limits" (2.11.4).
This claim should give us pause. If virtue has a need for limits, it is because the principle of democratic republicanism can itself become a motive for the abuse of power. It is "a misfortune attached to the human condition," Montesquieu later observes, but one cannot deny the fact:
Great men who are moderate are rare; & as it is always easier to follow one's strength [force] than to arrest it, within the class of superior people, one may perhaps with greater facility find people extremely virtuous than men extremely wise.
The soul tastes so much delight in dominating other souls; even those who love the good love themselves so strongly that there is no one who is not so unfortunate as to still have reason to doubt his own good intentions: &, in truth, our actions depend on so many things that it is a thousand times easier to do good than to do it well. (6.28.41)
In this passage, Montesquieu describes one dimension of the problem: there is something inherently immoderate and perhaps even tyrannical at the heart of all forms of political idealism and public spiritedness. The other dimension of the problem stems from the nature of political virtue itself.
When Montesquieu speaks of democratic republics, he nearly always has foremost in his mind ancient Rome and the cities of classical Greece. His analysis of these communities and of their customs and laws in terms of constitutional structure and political psychology is, in one crucial regard, at odds with their self-understanding. As I have tried to demonstrate in fine detail elsewhere, the Greeks-and the Romans as well-took political rationality to be the fundamental principle of the classical republican regime. To be precise, their institutions and practices embodied the presumption that, with the proper civic education, human beings can rise to the task of sorting out through public deliberation the character of the advantageous, the just, and the good; and a quarter of a millennium before Aristotle fully articulated what this entailed, they evidenced that they were quite conscious of the fact. Montesquieu stands opposed to the ancients and to those of their civic-minded, humanist admirers in the communes of Renaissance Italy who entertained similar presumptions concerning man's capacity for rational, public speech-for, like Machiavelli, he has next to nothing to say concerning public deliberation. When he speaks of virtue, he is not interested in those qualities of character and intellect that enable the very best citizens (and perhaps even the ordinary citizens at their very best) to transcend petty, private concerns and engage in public deliberation concerning the dictates of justice and the common good. Nor is he concerned with the liberation of reason from passion. In stark contrast with the citizens of the ancient republics, the classical philosophers, and their disciples the Christian theologians, he doubts whether "reason" ever "produces any great effects on the minds of men" (3.19.27, p. 577). In this spirit, he has his protagonist Usbek suggest in the Persian Letters that it makes far more sense "to treat man as feeling [sensible] than to treat him as reasonable" (LP 31.22-34/33). As one would then expect, when Montesquieu mentions virtue, he has in mind the fostering of an irrational, unreasoning passion for equality-for, in his judgment, it is this passion that sets the democratic republic in motion (EL 1.5.2-7).

• An inexpensive, easy to use, computerized data-handling system is described for managing patients with hypertension. It has been in operation for 21/2 years in a clinic that functions with nurse specialists and physicians working as a team. Data entry and retrieval are performed by nurse specialists. Computer entries have been made for over 1,030 new patients who had 5,873 clinic revisits and 1,800 laboratory visits. Several kinds of outputs are generated that assist physicians in patient management. Most useful are those on the laboratory flow sheet, which itemizes all or selected laboratory results by date, and the blood pressure and selected laboratory data flow sheets, which chronologically list pertinent patient data necessary for management.

From the Life in the Wild series.
There once was a bear, a moose and a beaver who loved adventure. But sometimes their competitive natures got in the way of having fun. One day, the three set off to climb a mountain together.

Must have been a great experience to see those nice flowers Ian. Greetings Berend
Greetings, Berend.
While the gorge is rather bold the presence of orchids, ferns, and many colourful lichens made it a beautiful place. It brings out the gentleness in us as we stop to look closely at the details.

I've made this several times now, it's a great 'company' dessert, which means, for me, at least, it cam be made in the morning and forgotten about until serving time. I've used lemon juice and also lime juice for a whole new dimension...delicious. It's a quite light mousse, especially nice after a rich, heavy main course.
this was wonderful--light and refreshing--a perfect summertime dessert! Followed the recipe as written, and wouldn't change a thing!! thanks for posting!! Teresa
