“The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.”

G.K. Chesterton.

We need Lewis and Chesterton today more than ever.

"We need Lewis and Chesterton today more than ever."

I agree. Mark Steyn is about the closest we have in regards to quick-witedness and pure intellect. If only he would be able to more readily couch his observations of contemporary issues in the context of traditional Judeo-Christian morality, I would consider him the full equal of Chesterton of Lewis.
