This is an old problem which has consequences seen in a lot of eras throughout the ages, but I think not a lot of thought put toward it.

Most will say Gettysburg because of the ghost stories. I've visited some of them and so far Antietam has been the most interesting. I'd like to work my way further south tho.

Overall, this guy felt deeply for the suffering of poor and oppressed people. Did the means justify the ends?

Has anyone ever thought there is a double standard on people invading countries on England. I am not talking about a long time ago I am talking recent history. England has controled The Fiji Islands, India, and Hong Kong just to name a few. I wonder if another country that was not the greatest ally to the U.S. did the same thing if there would be a war over it?

When I research subjects like evil, psychopathy, and sociopathy, the materials all suggest one thing:

People who work to their own gain are flawed, sick, unbalanced, prone to self destruction, etc etc.

I do not find this to be a self-evident statement.

It is true that someone who is willing to benefit themselves by the loss of others is a bane to "society." Of course the generally accepted social structure would be against such a person, as their unconstrained selfish actions deminish others.

But why is it assumed that a person who is cognizant of their selfish desires and actions and unconstrained by "morality" assumed to be so defective that they will damage themselves, become reckless, lose the ability to learn from experience or calculate risk, etc?

That might be true in many cases, but it seems to me that would be more the case where people lack self control and determination.

Is it possible to be "evil" and selfish while remaining rational and self determined?

I'm writing a paper, just curious if any specific rituals, no matter what they might have been, could have occurred before a battle... I know the Romans were incredibly god-fearing and I really want to play off of that in my paper (I'm writing on the two battles at Philippi). Anyone have any answers, or pointers on where I should start looking?

I'm thinking of a short list of basic books which would give the reader a firm grasp of the essentials of Roman history. Something a motivated undergraduate could digest during a semester of dedicated study.
