Ruled by the dead

2013-10-15 20:46:34.151945+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Relevant to an entry at Larry's blog about suppression of creativity, I read Ask MeFi: Who said "culture is the rulership of the dead over the living"? and saw this from G.K. Chesterton.

All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
