It could become an out-and-out shooting war! <br /><br />So far most of the mistakes in the Culture Wars have been made by our side. In this case the enemy may have committed a major blunder, brought about by over-confidence and a failure to spot the potential for huge divisions in their own ranks.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190326263026916588.post-83241038563051280462016-02-06T08:35:25.437+11:002016-02-06T08:35:25.437+11:00I'm glad you brought up gradualism.

With the media treating deviancy as normal, people end up thinking it is normal because the world around them is what they measure life with. There can't be real change, good change, until good intellectual leaders start changing the landscape around people to something good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
