And even
though the campaign was not successful in getting Mr. Raczynski elected (not for
lack of hard -
work, it was a really bad election year for Liberals in Alberta) it was a worthwhile
experience.
... Delight in smooth - sounding platitudes, refusal to face unpleasant facts, desire for popularity and electoral success irrespective
of the vital interests
of the State, genuine love
of peace and pathetic belief that love can be its sole foundation, obvious
lack of intellectual vigour in both leaders
of the British Coalition Government, marked ignorance
of Europe and aversion from its problems in Mr. Baldwin, the strong and violent pacifism which at this time dominated the Labour - Socialist Party, the utter devotion
of the Liberals to sentiment apart from reality, the failure and worse than failure
of Mr. Lloyd George, the erstwhile great war - time leader, to address himself to the continuity
of his
work, the whole supported by overwhelming majorities in both Houses
of Parliament: all these constituted a picture
of British fatuity and fecklessness which,
though devoid
of guile, was not devoid
of guilt, and,
though free from wickedness or evil design, played a definite part in the unleashing upon the world
of horrors and miseries which, even so far as they have unfolded, are already beyond comparison in human
experience.
This might seem to some as
though BiblioCrunch was embracing an «anyone can do this» attitude, but the reasons why
work may need to be published by would - be writers who
lacked the
experience to create a book — such as for the distribution
of business materials or by authors who simply write for a niche market
of readers — are numerous.
Though the post is humorous, it contains plenty
of spot - on observations such as: You are anti-authoritarian; you have the uncanny ability to get others to do all the
work; you are always seeing economic opportunity in everything; you would happily invest your home's equity and life savings in a startup; and you don't see
lack of money, knowledge or
experience as barriers.
