The Greeks have officially gone from the brilliance of Aristotle to the bovine scatology of Reverend Al Sharpton. I look back on the whole experience of reading The Crito, and realize that Socrates really did have a point when he drank the hemlock. A Greek Member of Parliament demonstrated why friends don’t let friends drink the Jones-Flavored Cool-Aid of identity politics. “How does Germany have | Read More »
