ex cathedra: Bella città

Bella città

It's February 2nd and it's gorgeously sunny and although I turned on the heat for a while this morning, now all my windows are open and it's 57 degrees.

And it's February 2nd.

In Toronto, where I lived for 17 years, it's about 32 and goes into the 20's at night. And it gets grey, grey, grey. And spring doesn't show up til late May. Sometimes for Easter dinner, we'd go out and dig up a crocus out of the snow to put on the table.

Pathetic. I don't miss that at all.

Life is not a picnic here. Both the country and me are in sync, serious-economy-downturn-wise. That worries me muchly.

But the weather and the geography....so damn nice.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
