Entry: Toxic Liberation Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/toxic_liberation#16066 Post contents: Yep, John, the Civil Rights campaign opened a Pandora box, but that makes the point that I made earlier, that failure to address the civil right issues much earlier led to it. Unfortunately there is a mantra of too many conservatives (and libertarians) that when you point to a problem they say "it will solve itself with time" - and forget that things that solve themselves never do it to your own specifications. Might as well expect a patch of untended ground to give a harvest of wheat. Jim Crow could have been dealt with in the nineteenth century, or beginning of the Twentieth, but nooooo, they had to wait until the demand for it got out of control. When, to parapharse Burke, whatever was achieved instead of being a boon graciously given, was an extracted demand You see what happens out of saying "things will work out on their own" So they did. Beware the conseils of laziness. Sent at: 2009 01 08
