The Mismanagement Of American Newspapering Is Quite

When We Were Kids Coming Up, If You Stole Your Dad's Playboy Magazine, That Was About As Much Of An Education As You Were Gonna Get. You Finish Looking At The Centrefold And You Read 'the Playboy Adviser' That Told You About What Stereo To Buy And Something About Sex Which You Didn't Quite Understand, And You Were Still Just As Confused. Now If You're Ten The Entire World Of Human Sexuality, And A Very Misogynistic Version Of That, Is Available To You On A Laptop After A Couple Of Key Strokes. I Think It's Changed The Vernacular In The Way Men Address Women.

The Why Is What Makes Journalism An Adult Game. The Why Is What Makes Policy Coherent And Useful. The Why Is What Transforms Bureaucrats And Foot Soldiers And Political Leaders Into Viable Instruments Of Rational And Affirmative Change. The Why Is Everything And Without It, The Very Suggestion Of Human Progress Becomes A Cosmic Joke.

We Either Live Or Die Based On How We Live In Cities, And Our Society Is Either Going To Be Great Or Not Based On How We Perform As Creatures Of The City.

Our Future Can't Be Separated From The Fact That We Are All Going To Be Increasingly Compacted Into Urban Areas, Though We're Different In Race And Culture And Religion. And What We Make Of That Will Determine The American Future.

Doesn't Matter If You're Fourteen Or If You're Eight, There's An Incredible Vernacular That I Do Believe Has Become More And More Plausible To Talk This Way In The Public Sphere, I Think Because We Live In Such A Coarse And Pornographic Era. Years Of This Has Produced A Certain Amount Of Misogyny That Is Just A Given Of Life In America At This Point.
