When the Founders designed the basic architecture of the American system, they bore in mind among other antecedents the Roman republic. Their heirs are fascinated by a rather different model of social organization: the junior-high cafeteria.

So this Jones moron is what, a self appointed national Zampolit/Purity Tzar for the progs?
This was a great read. Thanks for posting.
And it’s so lovely to read their lamentations!
