Life without brakes.

Lawrence Auster stresses the liberal insanity of making equality the summum bonum (coolest thing) of life on earth. As he makes clear below, this madness disables the ability of a society to make necessary distinctions between laws, cultures, abilities, and behaviors.

It [legalizing same-sex "marriage"] is sort of an ultimate proof that the concept of equality cannot be kept within rational and sane limits, as American conservatives have always believed it can be. Once equality becomes the ruling political and moral principle of a society, it will proceed over time, notwithstanding all objections to the contrary, to demand the equalization of everything. . . . The limited idea of equality that moved the Founders, that no man by birth should be better than another under law or custom, has evolved into the cultural-Marxist idea that nothing is better than anything else.
