Join the 21st centenary - surrender your mind
I'm getting a little fed up of the lazy implicit assumption I keep hearing from some of those who are arguing for social innovations, and changes.
Those making them often make statements like "Which centenary do they think this is ? ", "This is the 21st centenary" or some sort of disparaging remark about "Victorian values".
This is often presented as the clinching argument.
The problem is its no argument at all - its just an invitation to surrender to the mob.
I do wish that some of those Guardian reading left wing interviewers on the BBC would challenge these lazy assertions, but then I doubt they see their job as exploring issues and facilitating debate.
