GKC, even the young love thee

When my son asked if he could grab a book to read before going to bed tonight I expected a typical eight-year-old book - something Star Wars or Junie B. or the like. What does he come back with? The Man Who Was Thursday - yep, he grabbed GKC. Making his old man proud, he is.

Chesterton on progress

Alive and Young has a great snip from Chesterton's Heretics on "progress". It's amazing how relevant it is to this once-again "enlightened" age. Plus ça change, indeed. I'll leave you with a little snippet just to make sure you go read the rest.

It is not merely true that the age which has settled least what is progress is this "progressive" age. It is, moreover, true that the people who have settled least what is progress are the most "progressive" people in it.
