::::w i l l i n g t o n w o r l d:::: has the Starbucks interview with Jonah Goldberg, an editor at the National Review:

Many conservatives like to blame all of our modern ills on those horrible ideas that escaped German laboratories at the beginning of the 20th century and then mutated in French cafés. And while I think nihilism, moral relativism, existentialism, etc. have had serious consequences for society, it's impossible to deny that the automobile, birth control pill and the telephone have done more to unsettle traditional arrangements than anything Heidegger ever wrote or said. The problem is that it's easy to argue with Heidegger (or his writing); it's really hard to argue with a Buick.

That depends on how one's physical fortitude stacks up against one's mental acumen, but I wouldn't argue against a Chantico!  ¶ 3:25 PM
