Father Bob : "Australia's Majestic Military"

"In australia, questioning the military is like questioning the prophet"

I'm trying to think of the word he used... I guess "a thrashing" is close enough - for what happpens if you make a prophet cartoon ^^

Machiavelli is sometimes seen as the prototype of a modern empirical scientist, building generalizations from experience and historical facts, and emphasizing the uselessness of theorizing with the imagination.[15] (lol)

He emancipated politics from theology and moral philosophy. He undertook to describe simply what rulers actually did and thus anticipated what was later called the scientific spirit in which questions of good and bad are ignored, and the observer attempts to discover only what really happens.
