Sir Roger Scruton on unrest in The West ...
The American Revolution produced a permanent way of dealing with things. However the Constitution has been adapted and changed over the two centuries, it's still there ...
Look around you at what you have and compare it with the rest of the world and soon you'll understand that you are rather intelligent to conserve it rather than destroy it. Look at history ... look what happens when people think that all they only have to pull down all the things that irritate them, and something beautiful will take their place. On the contrary, you pull things down easily, but nothing comes in their place.
