REFLECTIONS ON LIFE

“The question is no longer whetherwe are on a slippery slope, careeningdownward toward a world of machine-tooled and stunted humanity -- aworld in which love is displaced bytechnique and longing by socialplanning. We’re on the slope all right,and the question is whether the brakescan be applied soon enough.”

(GeorgeWeigel, The Southern Cross, 1/09)
