...diversity, lamented by some conservatives who mistook it for a degradation of standards, is actually the best thing that could have happened—a grand experiment not only in cross-fertilization, but a breaking down of age-old barriers and of prejudices. It is, inevitably, incomplete, for instance insofar as blacks and American Hispanics are concerned. It must not stop...
...take medical lies personally. They are, like all lies, offensive, even poisonous, to something deep within. It's surely not a physical poison; while our brains can be hurt by chemicals, our minds are only made of (true) ideas. Lies (untrue ideas) can rot the substance of a mind.

...Nationalism of this sort, of course, is foundational to any imperial project, insofar as Empire presumes the moral correctness of its expansive reach. And in its quest for ‘consensus’ (or better polling figures, as today’s tired political climate would have it), it only requires that not too many Americans disagree that their government’s foreign policy be directed by a mandate to secure hegemony. In everyday rhetoric, including—tellingly—among today’s Democratic presidential hopefuls, this often translates into a pledge to protect national...
