Over at Secondhand Smoke , I posted a small comment about a controversy in the UK involving a restaurant that is going to serve ice cream made from human milk. I worried that this was a telling incident about the hedonistic and vulgar times in which we live, writing:
Hedonism is not just sensuality, but the notion that we should be able to scratch every itch, indulge every impulse, feed every appetite, and break most behavior boundaries–in short, decadence.
That has led to a robust discussion about whether we can even define propriety in culture. If you are so inclined, come on over and participate.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
