P.S. By the way, there is an all too universal human tendency to blame diseases on foreigners (i.e. "The Italian Disease", etc.) What worries me about the liberals is their tendency to blame everything on their own people.

The odd corollary to this tendency to self blame is a tendency to replace competition in education with an attempt at universal high self-esteem. Hey, if you want to increase the self-esteem of a population why the hell are you teaching them to blame themselves for everything that goes wrong in the world?


Good observation. Liberals take introspection and evolve it into both self and group flagellation. There was a study done at Stanford not long ago, about the attributes of conservatives. It was kind of interesting. But they didn't do one on liberals, or perhaps they did, but didn't like the results. <g>
