Why We Must Discriminate -
by Laura Wood
“We need ultimately to reverse existing laws and practices. First and foremost, we must restore customary economic discrimination in favor of men. America’s businesses and institutions must be free once again to favor men over women in hiring. If they are not, family life will never return to a reasonable state of health; the happiness of women and children will continue to decline; and men will fail to flourish and prosper”
From "It's a Wonderful Life" to "Pleasantville" -
by Francis Beckwith
“In It's a Wonderful Life, the hero, George Bailey (played by Jimmy Stewart), finds his "true self" in a rightly-ordered relationship to others: wife, family, friends, God. Pleasantville presents true human flourishing as the liberation of the self from the communal and the teleological. It is the willful self-discovering dissenter, unencumbered by family, community, or church, who is the hero of Pleasantville. .”
