John Derbyshire strikes again!
The Corner on National Review Online:
"If we give up tinkering, we might survive, but only as a bureaucratic empire of paper-pushers and lotus-eaters.
And this is the poison pill in the left-liberal cookie. Everybody must go to college! Never mind that tinkering stuff. It's not worthy of full-fledged Americans, who have grander destinies as lawyers, doctors, and … community organizers … hospital diversity consultants … professors of literary hermeneutics. That's where the future lies! Throw away that wrench — hit the books!
This cast of thought, utterly dominant among liberals, and by no means unknown among conservatives,"
