Strauss, and to a certain extent, Gertrude Himmelfarb, came rather close to saying pretty much just that. I'm reminded of Lady Ashley, who, upon being told of the theory of evolution, answered "Let us hope that it is false." Upon being told that it was likely true, she responded "Let us hope that it does not become widely known." ;)

I had a professor who was a student and acolyte of Strauss, Leon Cropsey. I found him so mentally challenging, that I had to work hard to get a "B" in his class, very hard. Law school by comparison, was easy downhill skiing on the bunny slope.

LOL!! Good one.

Oh well, who knows, maybe we should heed their advice and pretend that evolution is a lie and the earth is really 6000 years old, after all... it's for the cheeeldrun!

So, g'night folks ;-)
