Wingless Chickens: Judging the Baby Boomers Upon sitting down to write about this topic, I realized that it’s either too big or too small for a few hundred words. You could easily write a book tracing the roots of contemporary moral confusion back for quite some distance—to the early 20th century with no difficulty at…

Esolen is always good, and this short piece at the Touchstone blog is better than usual. There's an unforgettable image in the last sentence, which I'm resisting the impulse to include here–better to read the whole thing. Pre-TypePad http://js-kit.com/for/lightondarkwater.com/comments.js

I've been mostly off-line for the past four days, occupied almost exclusively with my daughter's wedding, which took place last night. I'll probably say more about it later—at the moment suffice to say that the occasion was a great success but most of those who were very much involved are exhausted. I owe emails to…
