If we're going to start calling out religious and political groups for extremism, we could start at home with Republicans. Too many of them spew animus. Too many foment sectarianism.

They're lucky that's not his style.
William Saletan

[...] We will never again experience the explosion of products, choices, and nonstop marketing that characterized the... twentieth century.

We will still have commerce. We will have [a] trade. There will be shopping. We will have... medium of exchange. But we are not going to live in a perpetual blue-light special sale of cornucopian wretched excess.
