… of these circumstances, the use of the word hero is trivialized. A deeper problem is that ides of myth, legend and story hold a society’s culture together. The concept of the hero is central to these. By misapplying the hero label and refraining from using it when needed takes our culture in the wrong direction.

Now we’ll have to do it again as Europeans stumble dazed and broken from the rubble created by EU bureaucrats, politicians, and unions. But this time it won’t be American soldiers, or arms, or even a nuclear umbrella that comes to Europe’s rescue. It’ll be American ideas and policies based on free markets, economic growth, and individual freedom.” …
…usinesses can’t. (Talking with Hollywood producers, even Hollywood is having trouble making ends in meet in the present business atmosphere.) California policies are dictated by environmentalist extremists and public sector unions to go with local crony capitalists and those policies include more draconian regulations on energy and more restrictive land zoning laws that will result even less single-family homes being built.
