• As the way out of the depression, how long will it be before somebody decides that the US or Nato needs to wage a nice, big war?
• Like what happened in Depression Mk I: the Christmas film Holiday Inn’s scary Fourth of July fascist war montage dripping with unintended, Orwellian irony. Yes, FDR, give half of Catholic Europe to your BFF Stalin (who killed more people than Hitler but that’s OK; Communists are idealists, you know); after all, everybody knows anybody who questioned you was a Nazi.
• Social power vs state power.
• Cousin marriage. What, a matter of sex and politics the SWPL don’t obsess about?
• It’s not just because I’m not a cheese fan really. Although preserving the traditional ways has molto crunchy/YF appeal, taxing to subsidise it as Italy is doing is not on. Here’s another economic stimulus idea: the state can build another Colosseum, using the construction techniques of the first century AD. Surely those should be forcibly preserved as well. Don’t give Obama any public-works ideas.
• Yet I still like eggnog!
