EDIT: There's no reason to use org.clojars. Ccfontes/korma "0.3.0-beta12-pgssl" anymore. Read this to know more about it.
Also, please ignore the following instructions.
In your EDIT you mention switching to clojure.java. Jdbc because it allowed you to enable SSL using the connection URI. You can use the same technique with Korma using the function korma.
Db/defdb which allows you to provide your own connection URL and enable SSL using the query string like this.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
