Perhaps unsurprisingly, I see this as a just as symptom of the decline of Western Civilization -- and I mean that in a *good* way. :-) We've lost most of our heroic myths and narratives, and so we're left with either primal urges (sex and violence) or anti-heroes (irony). This is particularly true for men; it is remarkably hard to find a powerful, well-told, morally uplifting coming of age story for men. That used to be the dominant story form 50 years ago, right? We need a new cultural narrative for what it means to be a man. Whoever figures it out will probably rule the world... -- Ernie P. -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org
