"There is in that obsession with the trivial"

-- pursued relentlessly in the midst of the collapse of demographic, economic and military strength — something of the moral of the age. 
A civilization completely consumed by political correctness, which required counseling for the merest shock, which believed it would preside over the End of History, is now bankrupt, unable to defend itself and without a single darned light bulb in the hardware store. What lesson was it? Perhaps it is this: never mind if you lose your pants as long as you can save your face. Or as someone else put it, those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. -- Belmont Club » The Seven Hundred Fifty Billion and Change
