Quote of the Day

[A] people's ability to maintain a shared 'language of good and evil' is critical to the creation of trust, social capital, and all the other positive economic consequences that flow from these attributes. Diversity surely can bring real economic benefits, but past a certain point it erects new barriers to communication and cooperation with potentially devastating economic and political consequences.

- Francis Fukuyama

I know this is really quite juvenille, but that is a hilarious surname. Reminds me of an Austin Powers gag with Japanese twins.
