More From James Monroe

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

Consumerism is, quite precisely, the consuming of life by the things consumed. it is living in a manner that is measured by having rather than being... and consumerism is hardly the sin of the rich. the poor, driven by discontent and envy, may be as consumed by what they do not have as the rich are consumed by what they do have. the question is not, certainly not most importantly, a question about economics. it is first and foremost a cultural and moral problem requiring a cultural and moral remedy.

Country music is about new love and it's about old love. it's about gettin' drunk and gettin' sober. it's about leavin' and it's about comin' home. it's real music sung by real people for real people, the people that make up the backbone of this country. you can call us rednecks if you want. we're not offended, 'cause we know what we're all about. we get up and go to work, we get up and go to church, and we get up and go to war when necessary.
