Punitive Liberalism: The Next Generation By Ed Driscoll · November 30, 2004 12:15 PM · The Return of the Primitive Rich Lowry writes that it's the mindset on college campuses: The left's new faith, now that socialism has died, is pessimism. I'm struck by this when I'm on college campuses. I want to say to these kids (and professors), “OK, you think Bush's foreign policy is a disaster, but what do you believe, what's the alternative, what's your vision?” There is none. These people believe in nothing. They aren't even soft-headed idealists anymore because Bush's idealistic rhetoric has prompted them to reject idealism. All they have is a smug faith in American failure, that whatever we do--literally whatever we do: whether its militaristic or altruistic or something in between--is wrong and doomed to fail. Nihilism is always a fashionable pose for youth; it's sad that it's surely reinforced by what their professors--who were part of the first generation of punitive liberals--are telling them. eddriscoll.com

This article motivated me to research something I had been wondering about, whether goats were indigenous to the Americas -- they weren't. The Spanish introduced goats. I have eaten cabrito, young goat, and don't care for it at all. Also, don't care for goat milk, goat milk yogurt, or goat cheese, but many serious foodies find goat cheese a great delicacy, especially artisanal goat cheeses, which can be quite pricey. But I do enjoy the mental image of Chinese and Middle Easterners buying Amish-raised goats.
