Camille Paglia Quote of the Month

"The problem facing international security is that people who believe something will always be stronger and more committed than people who believe nothing -- which unfortunately describes the complacent passivity of most Western intellectuals these days."

From http://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2009/06/10/waterloo/index.html, including a nice review of the new U2 album.

As usual, she closes her article with a paragraph or two on the Brazilian singer Daniela Mercury which I simply don't get. Maybe it's her version of ritual.
