Cormac McCarthy said he wrote about cowboys because cowboys were the closest thing Americans had to a national myth—our knights, our samurai.

At first, I resisted this idea, but I’ve come to embrace it.

The image of the lone rider in the west is, for better and for worse, the American icon.

@AnfieldEdition @aadamp9 If this is true, then it explains why there haven’t been any other transfer rumors. All in on Barcola. It’s a risky strategy.

My idea was that the search for truth presupposes the growth of philia. This philia must find an atmosphere in which it can grow, and this atmosphere cannot be taken for granted as an outgrowth of civic virtue… Always a candle ready, a candle lighted.

Ten years ago the mortgage rate was 3.5% and the average new home cost $350,000.

Today the rate is 6.5% and the average new home costs $540,000.

[Samuel Schaefer @samuelqschaefer]

This is not the way.
