Culture Wars

"What matters ultimately in the culture wars is what we do in our daily lives--not the big statements that we broadcast to the world at large, but the small messages we send through our families and our neighborhoods and our communities." Michael Medved

I read this statement yesterday as I was catching up on some social psychology reading.

It resonated with me because I have found this to be true in life.

Oftentimes the people who are crying out the loudest drown in their own noise, and this is exactly what they want--a universe that revolves around the important statements they make, a world that waits on their next vitriolic attack against injustice, a nation waiting for them to pitch the next Big Idea...

Why do we praise the revolutionary and overlook the family man?

Which of these is actually slave to the system?
