ps: It hasn't escaped me that neither you nor Andreas has directly
responded to any of the issues that Steyn has raised, All you can
manage, apparently, is ad hominem attacks and innuendo. The poorly
educated Steyn, however, isn't afraid to tackle issues. The joy of
his book is that he is expressing what many of us who think (not you
Simon) have oft thought but ne'er so well expressed.
That's the former English major coming out in you, Lawrence. It's good
to see someone including both lit and ideas in a post to lit-ideas.
'True wit is Nature to advantage dress'd,
What oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd.'
Pope seems to have been talking about wit, not about ideas, but given
the talents of many on this list, it might as well have been named
wit-ideas.
