Well, aren't you nice! G. K. Chesterton -- a favorite of mine -- said once that if you didn't have sympathy for myths, you didn't have sympathy for the human race. We are all lifted and advised by our myths, and that is a good thing. It's also the reason the Jane Fonda "POW myth" is never going to go away. It fits. It conveys truth.

The liberals are prolific myth-spinners. But theirs are ugly -- the myths of an existence with no God, and therefore with no good in it, nor structure, nor happy endings. They even seem to believe their fevered imaginings. It is truly a dismal view.

I truly love to read your posts. It reminds me of my father, when I was very young.

We would sit in my parents library for hours and he would tell me of books and those that wrote them. Quoting things to me from his favorite authors that spoke of life and times and living.

Thank you T'wit for many things and for being you.
