Great comments by Texas GOP Vote blogger Larry Perrault about a Culture of Self:
"Cultural conservatives have often spoken of a “culture of death.” But death is not the objective. It’s the consequence of a “culture of SELF.” At the bottom of this is that a selfish irresponsibility sits at the disposition that human life, even that of our own offspring, is a matter of convenience. This baby doesn’t fit with my plans or my preference at this time. Both here and in Europe which has also long practiced casual sex and open abortion, we are now in an economic crisis; finally at the end of our fiscal rope. My strong belief is that that is no accident. It is the same selfish and irresponsible spirit. I think such a consequence could have been predicted for a people who so long ago amputated the natural instinct to prize and care for its children in the womb, or at least countenanced such and its consequence of death. And if they face bankruptcy and some deprivation of what they have come to expect, will that possibly bring a general cultural repentance? Or might there be great further calamity to come?"
Mr. Perrault makes a convincing connection of the culture of self to the culture of death. Disturbing is it not? I wonder if we would be in such a mess culturally, or even fiscally, if the children that have been sacrificed to the god of Convenience were allowed to live and what a different nation we might have, given Mark Steyn's excellent study and findings on demographics? - Cliff
