What
we observe in Congress today more resembles an inquisition than a deliberative
body studying the facts and arriving at solutions. The high priests of the Word
demand fealty to a catechism supporting their agenda regardless of the
consequences on the ground. The things that really matter, such as feeding,
clothing, housing people, and a future for the generations to come take a back
seat to philosophical purity. A society that fails to put the children first
may not claim moral superiority. Ethics that do not provide for the future
fail. If we abandon the wisdom of our genes, God will abandon us. Unbridled
competition between individuals merely decides who dies last.
"Natural Selection's Paradox" discusses the forces behind the news. Without that framework the news today is incomprehensible.
