Hanson's essay is interesting, but the "alternatives" that he alleges we have "tried" are mostly straw men. His critique of the complicity and/or impotence of the right and left of the past are surely right on, and that is why those alternatives weren't serious. He does a much better job of analyzing the problem than he does of giving a solution. But the fact is, we have done what we have done, and his title "Pressing ahead is our only choice" has indeed become our only choice. The problem now is, though, what will the substance of "pressing ahead" be? And will it be any more effective than the looney things we (and others) have done in the past?
