Quote of the Day

Roger Kimball, writing for Spectator USA, about the contemporary unrest and the milieu that produced it.
We are now witnessing something like the retribalization of the world: a violent turn against Western liberalism and its tradition of rationality, respect for individual rights, and recognition of a common good that transcends the accidents of ethnic and racial identity.
If Kimball is correct, don't be surprised if the majority - observing minorities becoming tribal - does so as well. Imagine how badly that can turn out for minorities. To sow the wind is to reap the whirlwind.
