"Europe’s economic crisis is a mere symptom of its existential crisis: what is life for? What gives it meaning? Post-Christian, post-national, post-modern Europe has no answer to that question, and so it has 30-year-old students and 50-year-old retirees, and wonders why the small band of workers in between them can’t make the math add up." (Mark Steyn, Beating Swords Into Welfare Cheques)
Steyn is one of the clearest, most articulate thinkers in the world today.

I find this one of the best, most focused blogs out there. Thirty-year-old students? That's putting it mildly, seeing as how colleges routinely recruit and retain "lifelong learners:"http://theseedsof9-11.com
