HW started the slide when he reduced the tax credit for corporate contributions to the arts by 50%. We all should have gone to the mattresses before we allowed this to happen.</p> PBS went south the minute they were forced to take advertising.

Conservatives are far too primal for postmodernism. At best, Wall Street conservatives are modernists who grok science but cling to absolutism (including absolutes of the Chicago School of Business, in lieu of the absolutes of the church). Social conservatives are too heavily invested in hierarchy and power gods and threatened by science because it questions their dearly held absolutes.</p> <p>The problem of liberalism has been its tendency towards postmodernism; its believe that all perspectives are equally valid has allowed social conservatives to pull down the entire spectrum of human emergence. Once we understand that we cannot all of us make progress (hence, progressivism) without lifting social conservatives to the next level, we can leave postmodernism behind.</p> Agh.
