When Richard Nixon asked Russell Kirk what is the one book that he should read, Kirk said “The Abolition of Man”.
It really is relevant to what is happening today.
I have been watching lots of Nixon interviews and stuff lately. Everyone comments on how he answers things in an intelligent, thoughtful and respectful manner. And how politicians today could learn something from him.
BUT - would the people listening today be able to follow along on a 5 minute long response to a question? We have been conditioned by TV and the internet to 15-second sound bites.
Just the other day I was out walking the dog in the evening and he stopped by a bush. I could see the glow of a TV in a window. It would change colors as it changed scenes or dialogue I suppose. Every 15 to 20 seconds the glow would change.
