I suppose unbounded government largesse is the counterweight to unexamined privilege.

He's high, all right -- but not on false drugs. He's high on the real thing: powerful gasoline, a clean windshield, and a shoeshine.

The people accusing others of unexamined privilege are among the finest projectionists that America has produced.

Much as I hate the whole "check your privilege!" cliche, as well as the "but this disproportionately impacts the poor and minorities!"it is worth noting that Brooks' argument against legalization is pretty weak.

The biggest unexamined privilege is the Birth Privilege of those who assert the right to murder the unborn.
