“With so much negative discussion of poetry in the United States where it is periodically suggested that there are too many poets, that ‘no one reads poetry anymore,’ it has bee a tonic to live in a country where poetry enjoys a vital, secure place in the national culture. While at home [in America] I am likely to introduce myself to strangers as a writer or a professor, simply to avoid the...
The Santorum Strategy | George Lakoff →
The idealized conservative family is structured around a strict father who is the natural leader of the family, who is assumed to know right from wrong, whose authority is absolute and unchallengeable, who is masculine, makes decisions about reproduction, and who sets the rules — in short, the Decider.
