Political President Needs

More From Richard Lamm

What do americans know about morality? they don't want their presidents to have penises but they don't mind if their presidents covertly arrange to support the nicaraguan rebel forces after congress has restricted such aid; they don't want their presidents to deceive their wives but they don't mind if their presidents deceive congress- lie to the people and violate the people's constitution!

I don't pick my presidents because they were great presidents. i'm not much interested in ranking presidents and who is the best and who is the worst. i am much more inclined to be interested in them if they had an interesting life and if they were a complete person - and by that i mean they also had flaws and failings.

A free culture supports and protects creators and innovators. it does this directly by granting intellectual property rights. but it does so indirectly by limiting the reach of those rights, to guarantee that follow-on creators and innovators remain as free as possible from the control of the past. a free culture is not a culture without property, just as a free market is not a market in which everything is free. the opposite of a free culture is a "permission culture" -- a culture in which creators get to create only with the permission of the powerful, or of creators from the past.

The things that inform student culture are created and controlled by the unseen culture, the sociological aspects of our climbing culture, our 'me' generation, our yuppie culture, our suvs, or, you know, shopping culture, our war culture.

We should never denigrate any other culture but rather help people to understand the relationship between their own culture and the dominant culture. when you understand another culture or language, it does not mean that you have to lose your own culture.

A free culture is not a culture without property; it is not a culture in which artists don't get paid. a culture without property, or in which creators can't get paid, is anarchy, not freedom. anarchy is not what i advance here. instead, the free culture that i defend in this book is a balance between anarchy and control.
