Quote of the Day

From Victor Davis Hanson:

"The good life sometimes can be lost quite unexpectedly and abruptly when people demand rights more than they accept responsibilities, or live for present consumption rather than sacrifice for future investment, or feel their own culture is not particularly exceptional and therefore in no need of constant support and defense."

This linked piece (The Fragility of the Good Life) is one of those "must reads" and yes, it should scare the hell out of you! Hopefully, it will inspire you to do something about your own vulnerability.
