*Caleb Larson* *History, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2010%3Anewsml_GM1E61F1QUM01&share=true] Arguable one of the world’s most-recognizable rifles, the M16’s journey had a rocky start, and wasn’t well like by grunts at first. The M16 story begins in the jungles of Vietnam. During that conflict, the United States had moved away from the World War Two-era M1 Garand in favor of the M14 rifle, the United States’ last true battle rifle.

Intellectuals and Barbarians: Poison and Medicine
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 16 hours ago
The boundary between medicine and poison is tenuous. The Ancient Greeks used the term “*pharmakon*” to describe both medicine and poison—closely aligned to “*pharmakon*” is the Greek term for ritual sacrifice of human victims: “*Pharmakos*”. In the *pharmakos *ritual, the Greeks would sacrifice human victims to provide a healing touch (medicine) to their society in the time of a great calamity (famine, plague, civil war, or invasion). The poison-medicine analogy can be used for the intellectuals and barbarians. The intellectuals believe that with their ideas they are protecting (hea...
