Schambra, at Hudson Institute, on philanthropy as civic virtue:
Scientific philanthropy considers itself to be a detached problem solver, funding experts to track down root causes. Civic renewal philanthropy considers itself to be a catalyst of civic engagement, helping to complete the Founding by cultivating democratic self-governance and the moral and civic virtues it requires. Our times demand a philanthropy that prefers citizen over expert.

Don't you want a link that actually documents his conviction, rather than his dismissive attitude towards American courts?

Dunno, Phil, one of our fellow bloggers decries the "stink" we made, another thanks us for our "heated" posts. Heat, stench--sounds like an alley in late July, the kinds of emanations you'd expect from a dumpster.

"The Dumpster has landed." Deal with it.
