A society that presumes a norm of violence and celebrates aggression, whether in the subway, on the football field, or in the conduct of its business, cannot help making celebrities of the people who would destroy it. -Lewis H. Lapham, editor and writer (1935- )
Are we making celebrities of the people who would destroy our society? I think the answer is yes, but I don't think these celebrities are people of violence, but rather pop singers, movie stars, and basketball players. (These last are only a little bit violent.)
