Great synopsis of a bullshit article. Every generation thinks the next doesn't go outside as much or isn't as adventurous or is coddled too much. This is different for each family and shouldn't be ascribed to an entire society imo.
I'd be interested to see a similar figure for the number of guests that were constitutional scholars or medical professionals regarding the scotus decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act.

I like the slide guitar. I could see myself listening to this and enjoying a cold beer. Seems like cold beer drinking music, but that could just be because it's about 100 degrees where I'm at right now.

This is fantastic, thank you.

I agree with the sentiment below, "where is this type of discussion today"? You may disagree vehemently with Buckley and his oozing arrogance, but at least he was willing to have a somewhat civil discussion/debate with someone that was considered his philosophical adversary. This makes me miss Hitchens, he was cut from this cloth.

Well it's nice to see that the idiocy of politics and "politicians" knows not of geographical boundaries. They are morons the world over. God save the Queen.

Fear sucks. It drives so much of our lives and even our public policy. The human race needs to go through an awakening. I feel like we are stuck between being simple, fear influenced animals and something greater.

I hope the girls that need to read this, do. More importantly, I hope the men that need to read this do too. Stop being afraid!
