Report: Typical City Bus Contains No Fewer Than Four Erections At Any Given Time
No one has put up the Bill Maher interview last night with Charles Murray. I do not have the bandwidth for 10 minutes with thousands of hits. So I have to wait on that.
BUT! This bus story from the Onion has everything Libertarian Charles Murray stands for. Throughout his entire literary life Murray has used DATA to arrive at his basic conclusion that giving any help to the working class, the poor, women or African Americans is a wast of time and money for wealthy white people who are so so SO much better than the rest of us.
First it was his book LOSING GROUND which set off the end AFDC – helping single mothers with children – in 1996. His premise there was that upper middle class and wealthy people are so much better and smarter than the working class and poor that it is a total waste of time and money to lend them a hand at anything.
Next came the THE BELL CURVE which was about how the upper middle class and wealthy are so much smarter than African Americans that it is a waste of time and money trying to educate dark skinned nitwits.
His newest book, COMING APART has the premise that upper middle class and the wealthy are not only intellectually superior to working class people, but also morally superior. Bill Maher argues that is more about working people living on the edge trying to get by day by day than it is about anything else. Charles Murray finds that argument literally laughable.
Murray blames all the bad statistics about our moral deficiencies – which are only present in the lower MUD classes – on THE SIXTIES. What are the two lasting issues from the Sixties? African Americans and women on their way to enjoy the same human, legal and civil rights as men. Murray just uses the minipulation of statistics to say the same thing that Rick Santorum preaches.
And you know what it is? That ALL our problems are because of loose women giving it away.
