“James, your writing is fascinating and your take on liberals and conservatives is, I think, a sustainable thesis. How about causes and solutions? Wouldn’t you want to put your mind to a solution or two, or dig deeper into causes to help those of us more concerned with the world you seem to have given up on so that we might improve it?”
-Joel
Thank you so much for the follow up question, Joel. That was very thoughtful, and would surely make your family proud to have you for a son, and might even excuse your otherwise unpardonable act of reading this site more than once. Well, a question that heartfelt does deserve an answer.
No.
Thanks again for checking in.
Well said James. Solutions? Honestly, what do people want? Egg in their beer?
I have had numerous liberals use my unwillingness to advance a solution as a pretext to stifle the line of inquiry.
Yeah, so what are theirs? Obviously, whatever those are this week, we're agin it. Same as next week. Buncha maroons.
Like the classic James Dean line in "The Wild One". "What are you rebelling against? Whatya got?"
Nihilism!
“Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.” -John Goodman as Walter Sobchak, “The Big Lebowski”, 1998.
