Dear Mr. Burgess-Jackson
Thank you for posting my letter.
I love your quotation [by C. D. Broad] and I guess I am getting old as I used to be a radical but am now getting old and need that as much as a hole in the head. No, I am not going soft in the head either, but am getting very very concerned about the decline I see happening in America through the political system and the inequality developing in society both economically and intellectually. I feel as if the rich like hedge fund managers are using this ignorance through the Tea Party movement. There are aspects of this movement I agree with but are the members genuine? Do they really care?
What do you think ? As a professor of philosophy and ethics, in what I view as one of the most radical states in the USA, your answers would be of great interest to me.
Best
Ritha Khemani
Note from KBJ: Texas? Radical? I suppose that in a world gone mad with statism, Texas is radical. This may be the last outpost of individual liberty, personal responsibility, self-sufficiency, economic opportunity, justice, and patriotism.
