In places like Russia
and Germany, the common people agreed to loosen their grip on
traditional folkways, mores, and religion, and let the
intellectuals run with the ball, and they screwed everything
up and turned the century into an abbatoir. Those wordy
intellectuals used to be merely tedious; now they
seem kind of dangerous as well. We Americans are the only ones
who didn't get creamed at some point during all of this. We
are free and prosperous because we have inherited political
and values systems fabricated by a particular set of
eighteenth-century intellectuals who happened to get it right.
But we have lost touch with those intellectuals, and with
anything like intellectualism, even to the point of not
reading books any more, though we are literate. We seem much
more comfortable with propagating those values to future
generations nonverbally, through a process of being
steeped in media. Apparently this actually works to some
degree, for police in many lands are now complaining that
local arrestees are insisting on having their Miranda rights
read to them, just like perps in American TV cop shows. When
it's explained to them that they are in a different country,
where those rights do not exist, they become outraged.
_Starsky and Hutch_ reruns,dubbed into diverse languages, may turn
out, in the long run, to be a greater force for human rights
than the _Declaration of Independence_.
