A great piece from Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit!
Look, ma-I'm transgressive!!!
"In today’s culture of immediate reward, a work ethic centering on
self-discipline and the ability to defer gratification is almost, to use
a favorite term of the avant-garde, transgressive. Hmm: With so
much of our economy and politics now based on the absence of those
characteristics, maybe it really is a bit transgressive."
