Imagine a world in which generations of human beings come to believe that certain films were made by God or that specific software was coded by him. Imagine a future in which millions of our descendants murder each other over rival interpretations of Star Wars or Windows 98. Could anything -- anything -- be more ridiculous? And yet, this would be no more ridiculous than the world we are living in.
Sam Harris, author (1967- )

I made the front page of the Volokh Conspiracy

Eugene Volokh updated one of his blog entries with a comment of mine including a link back here to this site (so kind!). It is pretty neat because his site is the 110th most popular blog on the web according to Technorati.

What was it all about? Hillary Clinton was publicly complaining about “kids these days” (which is humorous in itself) and a number of commenters on VC were sticking to a similar trend (complaining, over-analyzing, and over-generalizing college students/recent grads to the extreme). I had this to say:

I’d just like to point out a simple fact that everyone else seems to have missed: One has only to point a finger at the preceding generation to find exactly who is to blame for “kids these days.”

Have a look. There’s some great comments.
