IT WILL be up to each of you to make sure that old people, white people . . .

NOVEMBER 8 / Hanson / Ruled by professors

[ON] CAMPUS the Rosenbergs never spied. Alger Hiss was a martyr. Mao killed only a few who needed killing (see Anita Dunn on that one).

JUNE 28 / Volleying with the diversity racket

Where did it come from, this ideology of diversity? Peter Wood notes the oddity of the fact that such a powerful idea, energetically propagated across the whole of society for a quarter of a century, has no founding text to refer to, was inspired by no charismatic teacher, was carried forward with no mighty struggles or cruel reverses, has roots in no significant philosophy.

AUGUST 25 / Introducing Theodore Dalrymple

ANTHONY DALRYMPLE is the psuedoym for Anthony Daniels, a Brit essayist and -- like Charles Krauthammer -- a physician and psychiatrist. If you haven't sampled Mr. D's wisdom, and most haven't, you should.

JUNE 23 / Whadya mean, Kemo Sabe?

THE INTERGENERATIONAL theft represented by the graph at the bottom of this (and other) posts will ruin the lives of our offspring, Unca D once wrote. 

That most of our children and grandchildren ignoratantly voted for this outcome is no comfort. They didn't know any better, and that's our fault too.

One aging reader refuses to accept a share of the blame.
