I am now contributing, occasionally, to The Heartland Daily News. My article, “American Life Has Become a Cartoon – and Not In a Good Way,” appeared today:
Allan Bloom warned us in The Closing of the American Mind that relativists are incipient authoritarians. If right and wrong aren’t universal but are merely personal or social constructs, there’s no criterion for judging one person’s case against another’s. The decision can only go to the party with the most power. Not on any kind of principle, but because nature abhors a vacuum, just as gravity abhors unsupported coyotes.
Based on that excerpt alone, I’ll say that checks out.
“Gravity abhors unsupported coyotes.”
Sounds like the kind of observation Douglas Adams used to come up with.
But at least coyotes don’t start to fall until after they look down and see they are no longer supported.
