You may need to register to enjoy this link, but Mr.Martin Peretz hits the nail squarely on the (liberal) head. Absolutely love this:
"...If George W. Bush were to discover a cure for cancer, his critics would denounce him for having done it unilaterally, without adequate consultation, with a crude disregard for the sensibilities of others. He pursued his goal obstinately, they would say, without filtering his thoughts through the medical research establishment. And he didn't share his research with competing labs and thus caused resentment among other scientists who didn't have the resources or the bold--perhaps even somewhat reckless--instincts to pursue the task as he did. And he completely ignored the World Health Organization, showing his contempt for international institutions. Anyway, a cure for cancer is all fine and nice, but what about AIDS?"
I hear a version of this daily in the "enlightened" city of New York.
Trust me, they are seething in the Big City, and rage is all they have "left"...
