Dennis and Julie: The Tangent Hour

76 weeks ago Dennis and Julie are all over the place. Topics include: the differences between parenting and grandparenting… it can be a second opportunity… perhaps they are not happy with way their children turned out; parents who are fulfilled with each other…don’t make their children the center of their universe; it is a burden for children if their parents try to live through them; you will succeed in life if you have good character; the Left in the U.S. are the Übermensch; “From all this we may learn that there are two races of men in this world, but only these two — the “race” of the decent man and the “race” of the indecent man. Both are found everywhere; they penetrate into all groups of society. No group consists entirely of decent or indecent people.” ― Victor Frankel; 'In the tragic vision, individual sufferings and social evils are inherent in the innate deficiencies of all human beings, whether these deficiencies are in knowledge, wisdom, morality, or courage. Moreover, the available resources are always inadequate to fulfill all the desires of all the people. Thus there are no "solutions" in the tragic vision, but only trade-offs that still leave many unfulfilled and much unhappiness in the world.' — Thomas Sowell; Without hysteria there is no Left; is corruption increasing, or has it always been like this?
