Teen mothers are vilified by Harris, while Loughton demands they suffer criminal penalties. The question of whether teenage fathers bear responsibility, or are worthy of our extreme moral disdain, or even our attention, never makes it onto their radars. That their attitudes are the norm tells us something important about our society.

Our society really is big. And it suffers from no lack of definition. It’s a big society. It’s a broken society. It’s a big and broken society. The big society needs to save our broken society. There is such a thing as society, but it’s not the same as the state. And once, there was

The Amalgamated Society of Woodcutting Machinists took its name in 1877, having grown out of the Birmingham and District Mill Sawyers and Planing Machine Workers Trade Society. The Birmingham society had been founded in 1866 by a group of 80 sawyers. By the time it changed its name, it had more...

The title of this post was going to be something along the lines of "flogging a dead horse" - but given the events at Newbury racecourse this weekend I decided against it. However, as David Cameron tries to revive his grand plan for "The Big Society" it would have been rather apt. To be honest, I never quite understood this "Big Society" idea - I think the overall concept of a big society is right...

An occasional series in which Dr T. examines contemporary issues through the lens of the mediocracy theory. Mr. Max Mosley’s sexual activities Why are people getting so worked up over Max Mosley’s sex life, and their supposed right to information about it?

Has Advertising Finally Gone Too Far With Images Of Group Sex? Every now and then you see an ad on television or a billboard along side the road that makes you stop, scratch your head, and wonder if society can reach lower lows or if this one is it. The picture above is not in an issue of Maxim or Penthouse, and it is not an ad for an adult movie. No, it is on the corner of Houston and Lafayette S...
It’s an interesting piece of ancient philosophy that a criminal has broken the rules of society and therefore does not deserve to receive the benefits from society. In our world this philosophy has completely disappeared. For us, we are all equal in the eyes of the law and the law is equal in all our
Are We Proactive Or Still Reactive? Two incidents on Thursday, the memory of one that occurred on December 7, 1993 and another earlier this week got me thinking about how secure, in a free and democratic society, that we can really ever be. This is not a commentary on freedom, because that is what makes this country and our society great. It is more a commentary on the fact that no matter how much...
It may be a picture of an uncivil, rude, selfish society, but what it is not is a broken society. If this were America he would be absolutely crucified for not being patriotic about his own country. And yet, we're not only falling for it, but the left has nothing even coherent to say in response.
