Ortega y Gasset, Read, and Block on “Left and Right”

Ortega y Gasset, writing in 1937:

“Ser de la izquierda es, como ser de la derecha, una de las infinitas maneras que el hombre puede elegir para ser un imbécil: ambas, en efecto, son formas de la hemiplejia moral.”

(“To be of the Left is, as to be of the Right, one of the infinte number of ways available to people for choose how to become an idiot; both are, actually, forms of moral hemiplegia”).”

Leonard Read: “Neither Left Nor Right: There is No Simplified Term to Distinguish Libertarians,” The Freeman, 1956.

Walter Block: “Libertarianism is unique; it belongs neither to the right nor the left: a critique of the views of Long, Holcombe, and Baden on the left, Hoppe, Feser and Paul on the right,” Journal of Libertarian Studies (Forthcoming, 2010)

    Participants in virtually every fitness and sports activity frequently experience what is called anterior knee pain. A syndrome of overuse, this is a kneecap tracking or alignment disorder that often occurs secondary to a weakened inner thigh muscle. Most sports build up the quadriceps in the outer thigh, but do little for the inner thigh. Over time, the stronger muscles pulls the kneecap slightly out of place. Descending stairs, squatting or sitting in movie theaters may bring on the discomfort: a ache under your knee cap.
