Entry: Down the Memory Hole Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/down_the_memory_hole#29837 Post contents: It is often said by learned scholars that the human race has a propensity for violence. Since our history includes frequent determinative violent acts, why not suppose that that propensity is "hardwired" into our DNA. By the same token, the history of man upon this planet seemingly would indicate that we are "hardwired" for a propensity for racial and other group biases. Amorphous border lands are ALWAYS seething with tensions, while coherent group areas usually only entertain with parochial disputes. Instead of whimping out before liberal opinion, why not search for a politics that asserts the truth about human nature while giving hope for members of all groups to find fulfillment in thier dual capacities as members of a distinctive group, and as a universal agent of design?
