Back to the Spartans—Every time I see a team called "Spartans," or someone talking about "Spartan virtues," or a _molôn labe_ bumper sticker, I wonder: "You do know that the Spartans were an aggressive, militarized, misogynistic slavemasters? In fact the world's first totalitarian dictatorship? You approve of that?"

But in fact generations of classicists taught children for centuries that the Spartans were a clean-living virtuous race who should be admired and imitated.

Since 2016, Georgians who received a driver's license have been registered to vote by default. Georgians that didn't want to register to vote had the opportunity to opt-out.

That change caused a dramatic decline in new registrations.
