More Fevered Rantings

One thing that tends to drive me nuts are deeply held admirations for the past.

I just don't get it. It doesn't make sense to me.

This post was generated from the last one. I decided to go read Yglesias's blog at tpmcafe. One of his posts links to a blog by Mark Kleinman. Kleinman's blog links to his "common-place book."

The problem is that he is trying act as a 18th Century property owner.

Our future will be informed by our past, but our future will be composed of its own forms. We will not emulate the past. It is our world, let's act like it.
