Wendell Berry Quotes
The Conventional Public Opposition Of 'liberal' And 'conservative' Is, Here As Elsewhere, Perfectly Useless. The 'conservatives' Promote The Family As A Sort Of Public Icon, But They Will Not Promote The Economic Integrity Of The Household Or The Community, Which Are The Mainstays Of Family Life. Under The Sponsorship Of 'conservative' Presidencies, The Economy Of The Modern Household, Which Once Required The Father To Work Away From Home - A Development That Was Bad Enough - Now Requires The Mother To Work Away From Home, As Well. And This Development Has The Wholehearted Endorsement Of 'liberals,' Who See The Mother Thus Forced To Spend Her Days Away From Her Home And Children As 'liberated' - Though Nobody Has Yet Seen The Fathers Thus Forced Away As 'liberated.' Some Feminists Are Thus In The Curious Position Of Opposing The Mistreatment Of Women And Yet Advocating Their Participation In An Economy In Which Everything Is Mistreated.
