Could not agree more. I liked the Jonathan Sacks reference very much--although I do wish you'd be less effective at identifying still another book worth adding to our shelves! This is all reminiscent of your earlier blog, "When 'you are wrong' becomes 'you are evil'," which is emerging as an underlying thread to much you've written.
John, I'm looking for hope for our nation in your post. If the Supreme Court itself has abandoned a common understanding of fact vs narrative (as it appears the other two branches of our government did long ago), is there any reason to have hope for the future of our nation?
