Snippet

There's an interesting article I am reading in the Wilson Quarterly, a new publication I am receiving. It talks about novelty and the culture's rapid acceptance of new things, etc. Here were some funny and astute observations in the article :

"We're weaning ourselves away from interior silence as if its source were a poisoned spring. The majestic, brooding eagle has been routed by the jittery hummingbird. We're up and doing before the task at hand is down and done. Attention deficit disorder could be the mascot malady for the national mood." The article proceeds on to say that it could be up for grabs between it and the laughable "restless leg syndrome."
