Given the fractured nature of what he calls our demotic times, I find it hard to argue with him. "<BR/><BR/>Barzun's been on my wish list for a long while. I think the argument has merit, and has played out in the past, but I think we do have something potentialy different in our favor this go around that might make us able to avoid the inevitable. In the past, as the elites forsake the older wisdom, said wisdom was as good as gone, the people didn't have access to it, and if they did, they didn't have the right to do anything about it. Which is the one thing that is different between all of history and today - our elites can forsake it all they want - we've still got access to the information. We can pursue it, if we have the wit to. We can even communicate with eachother far and wide without interference, and eventually get us our own elites, and we still have the right to undo the wrongs the previous elites have put in place.<BR/><BR/>The biggest catch in that is "if we have the wit to", their having near control of education makes it dicey, but 'near' leaves openings still.Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-56032666035218181022008-01-08T21:55:00.000-08:002008-01-08T21:55:00.000-08:00hoarhey said...

I read the quote with your (above) statement in mind, and laughed, and laughed, and laughed again... out loud, out loud, out loud. (of course not laughing AT just near it.) wow. <BR/><BR/>and maybe your statement with the quote was tonic for times when I've met individuals "living in a reality I cannot even conceive." I'm on the (very) tired side so can't write more at the moment. Maybe I required a good laugh, and that was just the neighborhood to find it. <BR/><BR/>This is beside the point, but I do have sympathy for the poster, as it is kind of a negative space of a slumped sentiment, as if it says "sigh" between the words. If only this one could stumble on some reality boost. It's there, but some people are suffering from vertigo, in the inner ear syndrome, or rather, in the speak of the One Cosmos group - horizontigo syndrome. <BR/><BR/><BR/>But that really did make me laugh, and still is.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900344453710081874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-88517671148151668452008-01-08T21:19:00.000-08:002008-01-08T21:19:00.000-08:00Me either,.....or.Me either,.....or.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-24286356174903464232008-01-08T21:15:00.000-08:002008-01-08T21:15:00.000-08:00Van,Just make sure not to get any on ya while yer ...Van,<BR/><BR/>Just make sure not to get any on ya while yer examinatin'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-31162434972130332102008-01-08T21:11:00.000-08:002008-01-08T21:11:00.000-08:00Nor am I.Nor am I.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-5107045980439759432008-01-08T21:10:00.000-08:002008-01-08T21:10:00.000-08:00Hey Smoov, didn't you say your friend was in Kenya...Hey Smoov, didn't you say your friend was in Kenya?

First, she is the most trusted candidate. When she speaks people know she speaks the truth. Rarely has she ever switched her stances to gain political favor. Second, her laugh is infectious and because of this people are drawn to her warm personality. And last, people remember the glorious nineties and would do anything to go back when terrorists didn't want to kill us.<BR/>Go Hillary!"<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Now back to reality with comments on how Donna Brazile played the race card today on one of her own, Billy-Bob, when he called the Obama campaign a fairy tale.<BR/><BR/>"Wow, it sure is fun to see the Dems feeding frenzy. They are really starting to bite each other in the ass. Imagine Donna calling the "First Black President" racially insensitive. Imagine Bill "I never had sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinski" calling something a fairy tale. The writers can stay on strike. This is really good stuff!"<BR/><BR/><BR/>and this...<BR/><BR/><BR/>"What's wrong with Brazile? ------- BJ Clinton is the USA's first black President and she is not treating him with the respect due that honor! --------- He works in Harlem, he knows the ladies that walk the hoods streets, has been ministered to by Jesse Jackson a highly principled Black Minister. Jesse even brought his Secretary to enjoy the springs in the Lincoln Bedroom. ----------------- Onward to South Carolina !"<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Although it's a sad commentary on the current political climate as far as the unreality of it all, I'm having more fun than I thought I would this election season. :*)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-74949690999223132052008-01-08T21:06:00.000-08:002008-01-08T21:06:00.000-08:00Hoarhey & Nomo,A Self JelloEatin WaterBoarder perh...Hoarhey & Nomo,<BR/>A Self JelloEatin WaterBoarder perhaps - or beer bong on a surf board?

Excellent analysis of how deconstructionism fits in as part of a far longer stream of challenging orthodoxy (started at the end of the 19th Century) until there was no orthodoxy left to challenge. Barzun’s thesis is that we are at the end of this major period of history. Given the fractured nature of what he calls our demotic times, I find it hard to argue with him. And I appreciate that he is too wise to claim he knows what comes next. <BR/><BR/>Of course, if this is the end and finally the meek are going to inherit the earth, where does that leave us raccoons?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-24688835879593826322008-01-08T19:46:00.000-08:002008-01-08T19:46:00.000-08:00Smoov,Say hi to Amy for me.
