I have been traveling as a lecturer on a Hillsdale College Byzantium Cruise (from Venice to Athens, with several stops in the Adriatic, Mediterranean, and Aegean) for the last few days

That is what I call a dream vacaction. Cruising the Med listening to VDH.

I thought VDH's narrative about the decline of Venice was a bit thin. He completely omits the defeat of Constantinople and the Sultan's prohibition of trade between Christendom and Islam. Those two events just might had had something to do with the decline of Venice. Yes, the rise of the Atlantic states eclipsed Venetian trade; but the Atlantic states arose because of the the Sultan's embargo and the need for a new route to the east.

And I think all the neoconservatives, including VDH, have a fanciful view of republican government. Civil societies create republics, not the other way around. Venice was not great because it was a republic. It became a republic because it was great.

Looks like VDH has become addicted to blogging. Issuing reports to his legion of fans

The notion that the average American youth—20 hrs a week before the video game or TV console, a product of a therapeutic education that seeks to ensure that he is sensitive rather than educated—will inherit the lifestyle of his fathers seems to me dubious.

This is a great analysis of our present situation. VDH at his best.

Our cynical intellectual elites are becoming ever more postmodern even as the undereducated majority becomes premodern.

Money quote!
