Shortly before cheerily whisking away to another meeting, Rogers mentioned Roosevelt’s New Deal. Obama has it right in his view: seize the moment to invest in housing, transportation, public-works programs, public spaces, and public art. “The big thing is to do the good things, because you’ve got such a mess going on,” Rogers says. “Let’s deliver the physical things and the social things. Now’s the time.”

Think of the things it could mean for us, if things don’t take a wrong turn — poised as we are to realize the better things of our character — to become the thing the world’s looking for.

  1. Of course, the wrong turn has already been made. Government is utterly incapable of delivering these physical and social goods. It’s not just a dream, it’s a nightmare.

  2. All I got to say is it’s a good thing nobody takes me too seriously, a damn good thing.

  4. It’s clear to me now that we’re just never going to see things eye to eye, Baus.

    Somebody stop me! : )

    Now I want to throw all my powers of argument behind Baus . . . just for fun.

    Let me know when you’re ready.
