But do they have to memorize the Prime Directive?*

Space Force Spc. 4 Mark Casner and Space Force Sgt. Jessica Hall take the oath of enlistment during an outdoor ceremony at Fort Carson, Colo., Oct. 24, 2023. Air Force Airman 1st Class Cody Friend.

And why are they wearing camouflage?

Footnotes:

*From Star Trek, and violated in darn near every episode, the supposed Starfleet General Order No. 1 which provides that Starfleet isn't supposed to interfere with the normal development of any society right up to the point of losing personnel and vessels to keep it, although oddly almost every other episode features Cpt. Kirk and crew messing with some galactic populace.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
