10 July

So much of the mood is gloom. But are we blaming the wrong things? We attack religion, we attack politics, we attack unions, we attack business. We attack institutions, basically. But institutions are the answer, not the problem. We're looking in the wrong places for blame and for relief. Conservatives used to know this, now they're the biggest smashers of all. Everybody is an iconoclast. There's nothing more unhappy than a naked, individual, 'free' human.
