Is This Man Brilliant, Or What?

Saturday, August 13th, 2005

Every time I read this blog, I com away scratching my head, literally and figuratively, as I ponder his words for days after. David Brin is BRILLIANT! To Wit:

Or will Pax Americana last forever, as our mad neocons contend?

(Hint: their behavior is actively shortening Pax Americana’s reign. Indeed, that is a chief complaint against these bright fools. At present I see no possible WCN on the immediate horizon that can claim to be better than PA has been, for 60 years of relative peace and growth. But the neocons will end it all, the way Alcibiades helped end the reign of flawed-but-noble Athens.)

Lately he’s been whacking both political camps in America - and with good reason! Who else do you know that can remain objective enough (or brave enough) to blast all camps with one salvo? I urge you to read his latest few postings, as they are connected, and come away viewing the world a little differently. See: Contrary Brin
