A long-time reader wrote to us yesterday. He was struck by a comment post made on the April 8 Open line, specifically #24: “Number #8 you sound like a sheep.”
Unbeknown to us, the reference is to an essay by Lt. Col. David Grossman, On Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs. We think you’ll find his ideas on the social stratification of violence interesting, and we give them to you for debate on the open line.
