[Vision2020] courage

Carl raises an interesting point here:  is it bad for Moscow for people 
around the country to know that Doug Wilson preaches and teaches, among 
other startling but not original things, that antebellum slavery in the U.S. 
represents the acme of good race relations in the history of the world?

I can see how it might be bad for Christ Church (it might be confused with 
the World Church of the Creator); bad for the History Conference (lots of 
racist yahoos like the ones Deacon James quoted might sign up for it and 
never settle down to a serious consideration of why Robespierre was a 
naughty bunny compared to Edmund Burke); and bad for Doug Wilson, who has 
declared several times that he *does* believe the things  he wrote with 
Steve Wilkins about the happy, simple life of carefree plenty enjoyed by 
slaves, and the conspiracy of God-hating Unitarians who annihilated 
Christian civilization by the cunning deployment of the abolitionist 
movement--positions not held by very many educated people these days, and a 
bit hard to explain satisfactorily to the world at large.

But I think it's good for Moscow.  Information, as the librarians say, 
yearns to be free.  If we've still got Unitarian conspiracies, we ought to 
get those out there, too.

Go, said the bird, for the leaves were full of children,
Hidden excitedly, containing laughter.
Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind
Cannot bear very much reality.
Burnt Norton, T.S. Eliot
