Time

Have a Northern Exposure episode on while I'm doing other things. This one's from 1993. Twenty years ago. I saw it when it first aired.

1993 is to 2013 as 1960 was to 1940.

John Kennedy, elected in 1960. I remember that.

FDR. Died before I was born.

I am no longer young.

Curious Reader said...: I guess this means you were born in 1959.
I had thought you were younger than that.; 1:44 PM, January 29, 2013
OreamnosAmericanus said...: Older, actually. If I remembered the 1960 election, then unless I were the Christ Child --and that is still a disputed question!-- then a 1959 birth means I would have been too young to recall it.; 4:27 PM, January 29, 2013

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.
