RPM Running Hot

“The people running the world are fools. Now many of them, no doubt, did well on their GREs. The tachometer in their little red convertible of a brain can bounce nicely at the right side of the dial. But that does not change the fact that they are barreling down the wrong road late at night, a dark and stormy night actually, and the bridge right up ahead of them is out. Once they launch the whole red operation off the end of that collapsed bridge, the tachometer, such as it is, becomes largely irrelevant. One does not glance at it anymore. One has somehow lost interest.”

Outlawing Good Men

“A return to sanity will be a return to an unapologetic acceptance of the fact that men are of necessity going to be dominant. They only choice we have as a society is between whether the dominance is going to be constructive or destructive. Because the poobahs in charge have spent the last generation or so outlawing every form of constructive male dominance they can identify, we are now discovering that—far from empowering women—they have actually empowered destructive male dominance. Put another way, when constructive male dominance is outlawed, only outlaws will have male dominance.”

Take It to the Limit

“Under the new tyranny of the raw act of choosing, nothing would prevent two people from marrying, one in Massachusetts and one in Washington, whose one thing they share ‘in common’ is the fact that they have never met each other, never want to, and are resolved never to exchange any email whatsoever.”
