Europe has given the world Marxism, communism, Fascism, Nazism, racism and socialism, all rotten ideas that have caused immeasurable human suffering. But for Europeans and their ideological twins on the American left and at universities, ideas are not judged by their ability to ameliorate human suffering or reduce evil, but by their complexity and apparent profundity.. -Dennis Prager Nice quotation, a propos of the present moment. I don't get anything much from the rest of it, I'm afraid.
