Describing the crisis in leadership at the top

Liberal Arts Education in a Recession
...we have a dearth of people in cultural leadership who know how to think. What kind of education did the people who have made this mess receive? What was the principle value in that education, and why do we still think we need to keep training our young people that way? The principle value of modern education was and is "technical mastery," with little or no attention paid to theology, meaning, history, virtue, or the simple ability to follow a thought out to the logical conclusion. We have just had a crisis caused by finanicial irresponsibility and we are going to fix it by multiplying that irresponsiblity in order to get into the trillions column. We got hammered last night and are going to fix it with a whiskey and soda for breakfast. We just lost our shirt at the Vegas casino and we want to go double or nothing. We got laid off our job at the steel mill and bought a new car and plasma television on the way home to stimulate the household economy and cheer up the wife. Do you really want your children to be educated by people who can't see the problems in this? And who laugh at the people who do see it?....
