...modern state as the embodiment of the apex of the free spirit. I realize that this may be a questionable contention. But it strikes me that Ms. Reisman's point of view reflects outmoded natural law thought and a Rousseauist sense of the social contract. Such blatant disregard for the dialectic is unforgivable. Besides, the decorating of a Christmas tree may give expression to the work ethic which, as most Weberians admit, is elemental to the American system.
