QOTD: "Ever since Plato’s “Republic,” imaginative writers have promoted the idea of utopia, a paradisiacal existence in an ideal, managed society. Combine this with democracy’s tendency to descend over time into a soft tyranny and you have what Mark Levin calls “Ameritopia,” the title of his latest book, subtitled “The unmaking of America,”

Levin went to great lengths to validate his assertion that, in defiance of our founding principles, an insidious, managed collectivism is permeating our culture and supplanting the individualism under which we prospered. Levin believes that the centralization and consolidation of power in a political class similar to Plato’s “guardians,” that insulates its agenda in entrenched experts and administrators, is apparent all around us and growing more formidable. He reminds us of Ronald Reagan’s warning that “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” He puts us on notice that, while the tea party limited government movement is a hopeful sign, “many more blissfully indifferent citizens must be aroused and enlisted lest our civil society continue to unravel and eventually dissolve into despotism.”

Can passionate writers and aroused citizens change America’s course? Maybe. But I recall the words of a Persian poet: “The moving finger writes and, having writ, moves on. Not all your piety or wit can lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it.”" --Elbert Menees
