Hey all. This whole things socks. Honestly, if I didn't know how the story ends (see Revelation), I would be dispiried in a big way. Even then, it hurts to see our nation going into the communist tank the way that it is.
Just yesterday I was listening to George Grant give a high school (taped) lecture, talking about the differences between the original America and the alternatives of oligarchy, socialism and democracy.
In his mind, socialism is where no one owns anything, and democracy is where everyone has a direct vote. I thiink Savage was right yesterday, we might be witnessing the Triumph of the Oligarchy.
