America is like no other nation, no other idea. It is a tapestry of threads and patterns, a symphony of strains and etudes, a chef's kitchen suffused with particulars and essences. There is a frightening movement to flatten it out, to reduce it to tribality. Thankfully, there are of those of us who see the glory of the Great American Experiment, still vital 248 years in.
As Mark C Still has eloquently summarized, this is wonderful and needs to be in the air we breathe. To this end I recommend "The Anglosphere Challenge" by James C. Bennett
