We've always had the blame-america crowd. we've always had the hate-america crowd. but we've now had at least two generations of education where this has been indoctrinated into the young skulls full of mush of young people. they've heard how horrible america was back in the days of slavery. they've heard how horrible america treated women. they've heard how horrible every minority group was treated. they've heard how mean-spirited the founders were. they've heard all kinds of literal lies.

When i reflect that the task which the artist implicitly sets himself is to overthrow existing values, to make of the chaos about him an order which is his own, to sow strife and ferment so that by the emotional release those who are dead may be restored to life, then it is that i run with joy to the great and imperfect ones, their confusion nourishes me, their stuttering is like divine music to my ears.
