10/05/2004 Entry: "Morality surpasses legality..."
*) Whether Ms. Ilana Mercer will agree in this case, I am not so sure. :-) Well, if, unlike the LP these days, more like Jefferson, you are, like her, in favour of "temperate liberty", simply go ahead and read her splendidly written essay. If your view of liberty is of the type "hetero is okay" ;-), but stops flat at something as "heterogeneous" as individualism and the society resulting from it, you will get your goose pimples reading about all those invasions that have to be stopped. After all, her courageous battle against those weapons of mass importation is necessary to break with that American tradition of ungainly invitations to immigrate and settle. Didn't it all start with those American Indians who apparently also came from elsewhere, then that Christopher followed by all those Europeans in many waves till finally those poor Americans had to acclimatize to French, sorry, freedom fries, certainly less dreadful than what we Europeans, who had to acclimatize to American ways much more (and still do on a daily basis, or how come that those bagel shops here rise in larger numbers than mushrooms after a rain?), had to sink our teeth into. Finally, in my view, there is something beyond and above classical liberalism. Though we would be happy if we could at least get back to that first step of the evolution to liberty. And where did Ilana get her great beauty from? You guessed it, it's imported!Morality surpasses legality...*)
